Great stay in Trapani!
We loved our stay! The hotel is perfectly located, within walking distance of all the beaches, sights, bars and restaurants and only a short walk from the ferry terminal. Our room was a lot bigger than we expected and very comfortable. The hotel and all of the staff were great. We loved the view from the rooftop and had cocktails there a couple of evenings. Breakfast was also served from the rooftop dining room, however we weren’t made aware that this was included in our booking until the 3rd night. The breakfast was good, with a large variety of sweet and savoury products. It’s best to arrive for breakfast early as a lot of items ran out quickly. The hotel has a well equipped gym however it was too warm to use it. Overall a great stay and we’d love to return!

We loved our location in their apartment section, which included a balcony. We faced the water and there was no obstructing view. It was especially beautiful in the evening with the reflexion of the lights around the harbour.

The front desk staff was so incredibly warm and helpful. They let us know about available parking nearby. Our room was stunning and so cool that it was a monastery in the past! The floors were partially glass with Sicilian salt in the floor. Our view was beautiful. This was my son's favorite hotel in all of Italy. Easy walking distance to the marina. The breakfast was so good and the view was phenomenal from the bar/terrace area. Such a cool hotel with a beautiful room and the women who helped us with check in and directions were the absolute kindest. We Loved Trapani and I definitely recommend this hotel.

This was our first visit to Sicily and our first two nights were in Trapani. Cute town. The hotel is situated right near the ocean and our room had a partial view. The hotel staff were all very helpful and friendly.

One of the more beautiful and interesting hotel rooms we have stayed in. The floor was partly plexiglass, revealing the stone from the monastery which once occupied the site. Breakfast was excellent too.

Fantastic hotel in a the heart of the city. Close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Very quick check in, the lady informed us of the area, restaurant. She even gave us the €2 for the on-street parking, we did pay her back the next day when we had change. The hotel has a roof top breakfast room with stunning views and the breakfast was plenty. Highly recommend this hotel and I’ve no hesitation in recommending staying in Trapani.

The place is fantastic. The most beautiful sunset view you can have in Trapani, while drinking something nice in their lovely terrace. Also the rest of the atmosphere of the place is great. Clean and comfortable. A great breakfast. An absolute excellence.

The location is super!!! The view is truly amazing. I strongly suggest to have breakfast there or have an evening drink to enjoy the view. My husband and I went up multiple times. The staff are very helpful. Although there’s no on-site parking, within 10 mins distance, there’s a lot where you can do it $0.20 euro per hours. The staff suggested this parking and it’s easy to find. If I return, I would like to stay at same location. Very clean property and all staff masked up.

Fabulous roof terrace
Clean room, comfy beds, although the room wasn't as beautiful as in the pictures. Some small details missing such as the free bottled water in the room that wasn't there, sky tv that didn't work and no extra coffee pods available on the second night but excellent value overall. What you are really paying for is the fabulous roof terrace where you have breakfast (good buffet and coffee) and sundowner drinks.

Do not stay here
Just a few hours before our flight to Sicily, I received an email that the room I prepaid for was not available. The email offered to put me in a lessor hotel that they own down the street or they can cancel my reservation leaving me with no other place to stay and no time to research another place before my flight. I took the lesser hotel because I had no choice. This is called a bait and switch. The lessor hotel had a bar outside with loud people and loud music into the late evening. I prepaid to have the buffet breakfast on the top floor of the hotel for each day of my stay. I was told after I arrived that they would only have the buffet breakfast for the first day and I would need to eat in the corner bar for the second morning. Not having the buffet breakfast that I prepaid for is another example of a bait and switch. For the 2 days that I stayed in their lesser hotel, nobody wore a mask due to the government policy changes but some rude employee harassed me and asked me to wear a mask just to check out. Nobody else except him was wearing a mask but he felt the need to harass me. He had a coworker sitting directly next to him who was not wearing a mask when he harassed me. If this hotel wants to make everybody wear a mask, that is their business but be consistent. If however no employee or customer except this rude employee is going to wear a mask, then do not harass me about it. Between the rude employee and the two bait and switches, Do not stay here.

Recensione non vera ed ingiusta Per tutto quello che scriviamo abbiamo le e-mail che possono dimostrare a chiunque la correttezza del nostro lavoro. E' ingiusto e sbagliato offendere le persone che lavorano onestamente scrivendo recensioni non vere!! Se avessimo scritto noi questa recensione ci vergogneremmo di questo. L’arrivo del cliente in struttura era previsto il giorno 14 maggio 2022. Il cliente dice di avere ricevuto una mail dalla struttura poche ore prima del volo per la Sicilia . Il cliente ha prenotato tramite Expedia. Noi abbiamo contattato Expedia il giorno 4 maggio , DIECI GIORNI PRIMA DELL’ ARRIVO DEL CLIENTE, avvertendo Expedia che non potevamo confermare la prenotazione del cliente per gravi ed imprevisti lavori alla struttura che ci obbligavano alla chiusura della stessa per cinque giorni. Abbiamo quindi proposto una struttura alternativa per cercare di aiutare il cliente chiedendo pure ad Expedia di rimborsare al cliente una differenza di prezzo per la nuova sistemazione . DIECI GIORNI PRIMA DELL’ ARRIVO DEL CLIENTE!! Abbiamo la mail che lo dimostra!! Se il cliente non voleva accettare il cambiamento proposto aveva Dieci giorni di tempo per cercare un’altra struttura!! Non poche ore!! Perché scrivere recensioni non vere?! Il giorno 4 maggio alle ore 19.14 Expedia ci ha risposto di aver contattato il cliente, di avergli comunicato la struttura alternativa proposta e che non appena avesse avuto notizie dal cliente ci avrebbe fatto sapere. Non ci è arrivata più nessuna notizia. Preoccupati abbiamo inviato un’altra e-mail, tramite Expedia, al cliente, IN DATA 12 MAGGIO alle ore 19.53 in cui gli ricordiamo quanto già comunicato dieci giorni prima. Finalmente il cliente ci risponde il 12 MAGGIO alle ore 20.04, DUE GIORNI PRIMA dell’arrivo , accettando la struttura alternativa proposta. Perché nonostante il cliente sia stato avvisato dieci giorni prima, non ha risposto alla mail, poi alla seconda e-mail inviata due giorni prima del suo arrivo accetta la struttura proposta e poi fa queste recensioni dichiarando cose non vere !! Non ci si comporta in questo modo !! Come ci si sente a scrivere queste recensioni ? La legge italiana (ordinanza del 28 aprile 2022), ha abolito l’obbligo della mascherina a partire dal 01 maggio 2022. Tuttavia, la stessa legge ha precisato che “ è comunque raccomandato di indossare dispositivi di protezione delle vie respiratorie in tutti i luoghi al chiuso pubblici o aperti al pubblico”. La Legge invita al buon senso e alla prudenza. Allo scopo di tutelare la salute dei nostri clienti raccomandiamo loro, come dice la Legge, di indossare la mascherina nei locali al chiuso. Il cliente non ha capito….. o non ha voluto capire, noi raccomandiamo l’uso della mascherina come dice la Legge, non obblighiamo nessuno!! Non siamo maleducati NOI , NOI rispettiamo la Legge!! E soprattutto diciamo la verità!

Great location for walking on the sea shore as well as the old town. Near restaurants. Lively even in winter yet the rooms are quiet. Getting there by car and parking is somewhat challenging but this is to be expected if you want to stay in the center. A very pleasant stay overall.

I rarely write reviews, but am posting about our fantastic experience in Trapani. This hotel is all about location, location, location, cleanliness - and the amazing staff. From our welcome from Andrea, who is a wealth of knowledge, and who directed us to safe street parking a stone’s throw from the hotel for 10 cents an hour, with great restaurant recommendations - this hotel is quite amazing with professional courtesy and discretion. Our corner room with floor to ceiling windows was amazing - and one of the only places in Sicily with a workable hotel gym. You will Trapani with its European sophistication and style - amazing food, of course, it’s Sicily - with real Arabic influences still alive - it’s really the only place in Sicily with such a pronounced cultural fusion. Grazie Mille.

Comfort in the heart of Trapani
This lovely hotel is in the heart of Trapani old town yet right by the sea. The stylish old building houses spacious and very comfortable rooms. We had the best sleep on luxurious mattresses and cloud-soft pillows. The toiletries smell utterly divine. A small bottle of water was provided for each guest, ever day of the stay. Check-in was straightforward and the staff were always pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and had plenty of choice, but the current restrictions mean that you can't serve yourself, so you have to give your order to the waiting staff. On departure, there was an oversight in relation to our request to book a taxi transfer, but this was rectified without too much stress.

Very kind and attentive staff at reception and breakfast area. We had an exceptional issue with cleanliness but the reception staff dealt with it very quickly, upgraded us and offered us a discount and prosecco bottle for the inconvenience encountered. We highly recommended and would stay here again. Thanks a lot to Rosanna
