"Strange behaviour from owner - seems to have a problem with Israeli nationals"

4.0

It’s clean

The owner seems to have a problem with Israeli nationals. He asked me where I was from and when I replied back ‘Israel’, he replied back to me “Palestine”. I could have sworn I heard him say “Palestine”. It turns out that the owner is a local from Palermo and not an Arab so clearly he is a Sicilian with problem with the existence of the state of Israel. Otherwise, how else would you explain this idiotic reply. Very baffling indeed, and therefore, I do not recommend to Israelis, Jews, and any other dignified person to book a room in this hotel. I would very much welcome a response to clarify what happened there and I am willing to adjust my review accordingly. An apology will also be welcomed.

"Fantastiskt 🙌 bemötande, härlig välkomstdricka med tilltugg och en underbar frukost."

10.0

Allt var bra 👍 Fantastisk ägare som mötte oss på gatan för att därefter parkera vår bil 🚗. När vi skull åka därifrån så körde han vår bil ett par kilometer så att vi lättare skulle kunna köra ut mot flygplatsen. Så vänligt!

Allt var bra

"Amazing stay with 6 friends. Would recommend this hotel."

8.0

Location was amazing. Breakfast was so tasty but quite a lot of food which could be off putting for some.

Rooms were small but for the time we spent in the they were comfortable. We had an issue with our drains too but the maintenance were quick to sort out the issue.

"Quirky but more of 3 star than a 4 star"

7.0

The staff were all top notch and very helpful, and the breakfast was plentiful (though I found it odd they just brought out a really large amount of stuff without asking us what we wanted). The location of the hotel was convenient. The pool was nice.

The room we were placed in was extremely tired looking and the couch seemed unclean. I have stayed in significantly nicer 3 star hotels in terms of room quality. The parking situation was not accurately described, we arranged for parking and was told it was unavailable on the day we arrived. We ended up street parking and ultimately received a ticket.
