Feriehjem i Vest-Sicilia

"I was placed in a room that seemed like a dark hole, not like the nice and light rooms on all the pictures. Upon check-in they said I had gotten "a very good room", because some group had arrived and they had to move me. It was far away from the main building. There was no view neither to the garden nor the ocean, but one slim window high up on the wall. The room was far smaller than 20sqm as in the room information, and the bed took up almost all the space. The worst moment was the morning I left. Since I was so far away from the main building, I hadn't gotten to experience the pool yet. I made sure the night before that I would have time before check-out. They told me in the reception area that it would open at 9 am. Check-out was at 10.30. So I went 9 am to look for the pool. And it was closed. They told me it opens at 10 am. So, I packed everything ready for check-out and went there 10 a.m. They were slowly opening around 10.10 am, and they had not removed the pool fence yet. But there were two workers around. I asked one of them if I could go swimming already. He sayed yes. I went. Then, soon the other worker came complaining to me, demonstrating that NOW he was removing the fence so NOW I could swim (I was already in the pool). I tried to tell him that I ASKED if I could go, but he did not understand English. The other worker did not correct him, as far as I know. I left the hotel anxious, angry, and humiliated. I will never go back there, not even if they payed me."

"Nice hotel, and friendly staff. Excellent location, and great breakfast!"

"Rommet var greit, men trenger nok en oppussing. Det er deler av hotellet som bærer preg av at dette ikke har vært en prioritert. Veldig hyggelig personal. Godt utvalg i frokost buffé. De har et samarbeid med Welcome Pickups som er å anbefale. De er faktisk billigere enn både taxi og Uber. Utsikten fra rommet var fantastisk, og lyden av bølger blir aldri feil. Overraskende nok er Uber inn til gamlebyen i Palermo nesten €60, som er norske priser. Derfor anbefaler jeg å leie en scooter fra Mondello Rent en 5 minutter spasertur fra hotellet. Scooter er definitivt transportmiddelet som gir deg rask og enkel tilgang til Sicilia. Det er gratis å parkere overalt. Jeg kommer definitivt tilbake til Splendid Hotel La Torre. "

"Jeg savnet flere oster til frokosten. Det kunne vært flere lokale spesialiteter, både av oster og kjøttpålegg. Og så kunne det vært et godt og grovt brød, sånn som vi nordeuropere liker, og som blant annet selges lunt på Lidl. Personalet var hyggelig, og temperaturen på rommet greit. Arbeiderne som jobbet i bygget smalt fælt med døren til nødutgang når de gikk ut og inn (rett ved mitt rom, 102) men de jobbet heldigvis ikke om natten. "

"Fantastisk hotell med fin beliggenhet. Rommet var i veldig god tilstand, god rengjøring og god trykk i dusjen. Personalet var kjempehyggelig og service var på toppen."

"God beliggenhet og svært bra renhold."

"Sentralt, men slitt og gammelt"

"Super beliggenhet, gammelt ærverdig hotel. Store rom. Bra frokost."

"The hotel is situated near the harbour. Not a nice place. It is very old and not well kept. Hotels.com should tell guests that the hotel is under renovation. The AC did not work. Therefore no sleep. The room was full of uncomfortable paint fumes due to the ongoing work. All this was mentioned to the staff but they could only apologise. Don’t stay here!!!"
