What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We have just spent a lovely week in the Tourist hotel. Marco and some of the staff were very kind to us, though others weren’t friendly at all but we didn’t let it upset us. The hotel is very clean and functions well. We had a lovely large room with a balcony looking across at the sea and up to old Cefalu town which is a 15 minute walk along the lovely seafront. The pool at the hotel is large and well kept and there’s access to the little beach across the road. The blonde lady overseeing the delicious buffet breakfast was very kind and cheerful. There was a loud disco nearby last Saturday night but the good balcony door shut out the worst of the noise. We thought for a three star hotel, it’s very good indeed!”
“Great stay! Room was very spacious and comfortable. Bathroom was big too with a nice shower. The view of the ocean and Cefalù were Amazing! Ocean front and walking distance to everything.”
