I stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were spacious and came with a big bathroom, which was a great bonus. The service was impeccable, with a laundry service available and helpful assistance with tours and tickets. The location was perfect, situated in a quiet area with the added benefit of a second rear garden. It was also conveniently close to main attractions, easily accessible by frequent buses, and right next to a bus stop that led directly downtown. The dining was delightful, offering Sicilian pastries and the option to order a sausage if desired. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
