ok hotel accross the beach Cefalu

The hotel feels outdated for the price. There’s no pool on-site—you have to walk about 100 meters to a nearby beach club, which was closed when we arrived and is quite small. Reception didn’t provide the Wi-Fi password or mention the towels for the beach club, so we had to return to the front desk to get them. Breakfast was okay, but it really should be included in the room rate. Access to the Peter Pan beach club is technically included, but the staff there were rude, and if you want a front-row lounge chair, it’ll cost you an extra 45 euros. Also, note that there’s no elevator.

Excellent location for beach and Cefalu old town - breakfast good, but not much bacon and egg- had to ask for it to trooped up a lot. A noisy club outside and next door. Music DJ until 3am every night and no handle on outside of door to balcony a problem. Roller blinds good, but no curtains and just a voile and shutters was a little inconvenient. Good location and facilities, clean and tidy Room key a little awkward as took a while to work!

Loud music in the bar opposite. The staff at the hotel were great as is the hotel. However, if you want to sleep before 2 am, forget it. So annoyed with this and the incessant drum beat club music that penetrates the hotel room that we were in. Wont be going baçk. There is no pool in the hotel although there is free access to a Lido 100 metres away.

There is no coffee or tea, neither is there any drinking water nor a boiler, the only way to get drinking water is to purchase through reception which is ridiculous. Considering it as a 4-star hotel it is quite old, a light switch is broken and wires inside are uncovered. The sink is also cracked open posing a danger. Air conditioning is very weak and not cool at all. Definitely not worth the price, avoid at all costs.

I want to point out: there are no swimming pool nor hot tub. It was important for me. On another hand, the location is perfect. Short walk from the train station. Mostly, flat. Big grocery store within 600 metras. You can have your breakfast on a terrace, looking on a blue water of the sea. Breakfast very fulfilling.

Very nice family run hotel in a great location. Close for walking to old town in 15 minutes. We had a large room with private balcony and partial ocean view. Easy to park in their large lot. You get free beach chairs and towels included at a very nice beach across the street and use of the swimming pool at a neighboring hotel. The breakfast buffet was wonderful with all sorts of options including three kinds of eggs, cereals, yogurts, cheeses, meats, juices, croissants, etc, etc A great place for us.

Pros: across from beach with reserved sunbeds, walking distance to city center, good breakfast. Cons: rundown rooms: shower rusty, ants in room, broken blow dryer, poorly maintained air conditioner. Amenities not as depicted: no hot tub and no nearby pool as shown. Poor experience: I had 2 rooms rundown as described above. AC was not functioning in one room and flooded in the other room. Staff did address issues. Also there is a cafe/bar that has very loud music playing until 1:00 am which made sleep difficult. NOT FOUR STAR establishment in my opinion.
