Great location! Pool and close to everything!

Would come back with no hesitation! Hotel was situated on a hill above the sea but with elevators it was totally assessible. Lovely pool, 2 min walk to the bus station that brings you to the train station for 1.1 euros! 4 minute walk to restaurants and 10 minute flat walk to Messina Gate which is where the beautiful streets with restaurants and shops are located. Just a perfect stay!

Super beautiful view from the hotel and very nice staff. The hotel room does has thin walls so you may hear your neighbours late at night. The hotel was a convenient distance from the main town which was nice. Great stay overall!
