Hotel Centrale is about as close to Trapani as Stansted is to London.If you are looking for a Trapani hotel this is definately not the place for you.This hotel is actually in Alcomo, a rather grim town about 35 km from the coast. The hotel is very difficult to find and there are no parking facilities. The hotel is functional but has none of the authentic feel of all of the other Sicilian hotelsthat we stayed at.
On the positive front the meal we had at the hotel in our one night stay (thank goodness it was only one night)was very nice and very reasonably priced.
My overriding recommendation for this hotel would be dont stay at it, you are likely to be very disappointed !!

Hotel Centrale is in a perfect location on the western side of Sicily and it has all the modern conveniences and beautiful architecture which is why I booked the hotel.

I was not disappointed at all. Very large rooms, bathroom was beautiful, they even had a blow dryer.
The hotel restaurant is elegant and fantastic and I suggest you try the local white wine, it is excellent. We fell in love with Alcamo, the people and the shopping was enjoyable.

Hotel staff and Davide were always available and so helpful with directions and the parking. They even made our hair appointments for us and the salon we went to was like the hotel, elegant.
Beautiful people and beautiful hotel, we definitely want to return.

My wife and I stayed last week at the Centrale in Alcamo after reading the reviews. We were not dissapointed, excellent.
Alcamo itself we fell in love with, a real delight - unpretentious, the piazza, just a short walk away from the hotel was lovely for an early evening aperitivo or mid morning espresso and pastry.
The traffic is a problem - parking a nightmare but the staff were most helpfull and parked us when required.
But the driving in and around Alcamo is requires a strong nerve!

My husband and I absolutely loved this hotel. It is beautiful... lots of attention paid to detail, gorgeous rooms, wonderful food, exceptional staff (especially David, who speaks very good English, and was always available to answer questions, make recommendations, give directions, etc).

The town is very charming and the people are incredibly friendly (and although few speak English, it is quite easy to make yourself understood with a few words in Italian and lots of gesturing -really fun!!) Alcamo is known for it's white wine "Bianco d'Alcamo" and I have to say it is really good and very inexpensive, as was the food.

This part of Sicily is a great value and it was what I thought Italy should be like...charming, friendly, clean, slow-paced. I would definitely recommend this lovely town and beautiful hotel. I certainly plan on a return visit.
