“Choose to stay here because the airport bus stops outside...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I was staying at the Hotel Posta and moved here for the last night so I could have easy access to the airport bus at 0415 hours. I had an early flight out in the morning. I was very pleasantly suprised as the hotel appears to have been recently remodeled and looked very modern-ish. Excellent location next to the Teatro and many restaurants in the area. Short stroll up the Liberta takes you into great shopping, strolling and general people watching. Hotel rooms were nicely apportioned with flat screen TV's and Wifi in your room for no extra charge. Good signal too! I booked a single with breakfast buffet for $97.00 so the price was not too bad either. No restaurant in the hotel but plenty nearby.

“Good location, service incredibly poor!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011 via mobile

Firstly, we arrived very late at night, two young women and had pre booked an airport transfer direct with the hotel. Not only did the taxi not arrive, when we rang them / arrived at the hotel there was no apology. We'd purposefully pre booked a transfer as we'd been advised that the taxi rank closed at midnight and we wanted to be sure we had safe transport. On the next day we wanted to visit Marsala on the bus and the receptionist eventually looked up the bus times for us online and told us the bus stopped directly outside the hotel and we could purchase our tickets on board. We dutifully stood in the scorching heat for 35 minutes only to see the bus drive past us, as it in fact stopped a lot further down the street at a different time to when we'd originally been informed. We eventually found the stop and someone sent us to a nearby bar where we had to purchase tickets before we boarded the bus. An hour and a half later we were on our way to Marsala! 

Generally, the hotel was ok. Not really a 4 star hotel. Receptions are unhelpful and not sufficiently knowledgable of the area for tourists and do not appear to want to find out basic information (e.g. bus times). Breakfast is fine, European buffet style. Room is clean but the shower could be nicer with a more appropriate shower curtain. No safe in room. Good location but I wouldn't stay here again.

“Excellent location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We decided to stay in this Hotel as the bus from the airport stops in front of the hotel. We were very pleased to find out it was exactly correct. The hotel is near to the centre of the town and there are several bus stops to all different parts of the town. It is easy to be found and it is walking distance from the historic hot spots. The room was on a smaller size and a bit dark, but spotlessly clean. The bed was comfortable and the noise from a busy square did not really bother us. The breakfast was very good but the space in the restaurant was limited. Over all perfect hotel for travelers looking to spend the days outside and get a good night sleep at the end of the day. Would stay here again!

“Very good location, single room a bit expensive”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2010

The location of the Hotel was very good, walking distance from old city center and in front of the bus stop for the airport connection. The room was clean and big, but a bit expensive (single room, 90 euro - booked on internet). During the night it was noisy (the window of my room overlooked a busy square). Satellite tv in the room.
