I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location is amazing, right in the center and close to public transport, making it super convenient to explore the prettiest part of town. The rooms are spacious with a huge bathroom and air conditioning, plus they were cleaned every day. The service was top-notch with fantastic room service and car hire options. The dining experience, especially the Sicilian pastries, was a highlight. However, the price could be a bit high for some travelers.
