Reviews and Ratings
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is superb with stunning views from the restaurant and within walking distance from the Dutch Fort. The rooms are spacious and offer breathtaking views from the balconies, making it a perfect choice for a relaxing holiday. The hotel's dining options were excellent, offering a variety of Sicilian products that were a delightful culinary experience. However, the paid shuttle service and lack of included airport shuttle were minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers stunning views from the rooftop restaurant and is conveniently located within walking distance from the Dutch Fort. Rooms with balconies provide a wonderful stay, while the service is exceptional.
