The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of the city, making it convenient for exploring all the major attractions. The rooms are spacious and modern, but the noise from the pub nearby can be bothersome at times. The service is top-notch, especially during check-out, creating a pleasant experience overall. The facilities are impressive, but the absence of typical Sicilian products in the dining options was a downside.
