budget hotel with adorable owner
We stayed here on our last night in Sicily before taking the Alibus back to the airport. We specifically chose this hotel because it is right next to an Alibus stop and we inexpensive. You definitely get what you pay for, so you should have realistic expectations. It's clearly not in the city center, but this was not a priority for us. If you want to go back and forth from the city center, this is not a good hotel for you (but we knew this when we made the reservation). The room itself was acceptable (very impressive high ceiling, AC worked well), but with some problems (shower need some work, toilet using a sort of pump system is less than efficient and requires several flushes, hair dryer that did not blow hot air). You should come here just to see the owner who is part of a dying breed: he speaks no English (but this is not a problem -- in Italy people speak Italian, so learn some basic phrases), he's probably 75 years old (and I'm not saying this as a bad thing), all his reservations are noted in an ancient tome by hand, instead of bifocals he just wears two pairs of glasses, and during check in, he insisted on showing us EVERYTHING (how to turn on the TV, the AC, how to unlock and lock the door...), but we both found this owner charming and authentic.
