Beautiful views, pool, and on the beach
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The property has a pool which is clean. It is very helpful when you have kids. The view from the room was good. Around 15-20 min walking distance to the city center. It is a good choice when you are looking for a pool, front-beach hotel near to the Cefalu which was the most beautiful city that we visit during our round trip through Silicy.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

It is an older hotel with dated rooms but very clean & rooms were big. Pool was big and its right across the street from the beach. I did not like that they charge for an umbrella & chair on their own portion of the beach.

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is a gem and rght on the beach. The staff are wonderful, so helpful and charming. The view from the rooms are spectacular. The sunsets are magical. Ideal location too, very peaceful. The breakfast was great and it's only a short walk down the sea front to the restaurants and the town. I will definitely be going back to Hotel Tourist, perfect for our holiday.

10/10 Exceptional

My first visit to Cefalù was fantastic. The views of the town and beach were amazing. Every evening we enjoyed a good walk to the old town, which took about 15-20 minutes. The beach was rocky but we spent most of our time at the swimming pool. The boys had a great time and made new friends to play with. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent with a variety of croissants in different flavours. Our room was clean and spacious enough for the three of us and had good air conditioning. The only downside was the poor WiFi connection and the fridge taking ages to cool a bottle of water. Overall, we all had a fantastic time and I’ll definitely return.

Rooms were clean and spacious. Staff was very helpful and spoke good English. Breakfast was good. Decent amount of choice. Swimming pool was incredibly clean, clear and plenty long enough for lap swimming 25 - 30 meters long with lane lines. No need to use beach. Overall one of the best hotels we stayed at.

The hotel is very old and quite run down. The room felt dingy and the tiles in the bathroom on the floor were cracked in several places which could cut your feet. Breakfast had a good selection.

Verified review

6/10 Good

Good location, within walking distance to town, shopping, and restaurants. Lovely view of the water, and good breakfast. The pool was good with lots of sunny areas to relax. The room was just ok - it took almost all day for housekeeping to come refresh the room, and it wasn't in the cleanest condition.

Really good stay with this hotel, especially for the price! Nice pool, close to the beach, quiet. It is a walk to downtown cefalu but we enjoyed the walk plus it’s good for you! Breakfast is included which is a very nice perk. We would stay here again!

Lovely huge pool. Very good breakfast. It was a kilometer to walk to the old town, but the walk was along the ocean.

The facilities are typical non luxury hotels. The rooms are mediocre at best but the pool area is nice. You have to pay for everything (beach chair, towels) but can sit by the pool without a fee- except for towels
Verified review

6/10 Good

Staff seem disinterested most of the time apart from the lovely lady at breakfast. Pool is nice but I’d be concerned if I had small children as it’s quite deep throughout. I’ve never been in a hotel that didn’t have an iron- asked for one and told it wasn’t possible. Breakfast was fine - could do with another coffee machine and cartons of juice were sometimes available. WiFi in my room wasn’t working - asked reception but no help and less interest. TV worked but no English speaking stations worked without interference. Local discos can be heard on a a Saturday and Sunday until 3am. 15 minute walk in and out of old town. Deco supermarket 10 mins walk. Beach towels available for €3 each. €10 to use private beach across the road. Hotel is fine. Not value for money- quite expensive. Staff could do with going on a charm course - not rude but definitely not overly hospitable.
