I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of the city and close to everything you'd want to see by walking. The rooms were spacious and modern, complete with a large bathroom and comfortable twin bedroom. The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly hospitable and welcoming. However, the dining options were a bit limited, offering only Sicilian pastries. Despite this, the facilities were fantastic, particularly the well-maintained pool.
