The view and very close to the centre

Apartment needs a big renovation. Everything is falling down, the air con doesn’t work properly. The bathroom smells of mould and sewer.

Perfect location. 5 min walk from the bus station. The funicular to Mazzarò is literally the next door, easy to reach beaches like Isola Bella. Short walk uphill to the historical city center, not far from sights such as Teatro Antico and Villa Comunale. We stayed at the junior suite, meaning that we had our own kitchen and access to the common balcony area. Breathtaking view. Kitchen was equipped, with cutlery/plates/glasses, some saucepans, a small stove and a small fridge. There’s a safe in the room and the air conditioner works.

In a way the room itself is nothing special, felt more like renting an AirBnb than a room in a hotel. The decor is very basic and it feels like the place could use some renovating, for example the bathroom was impossible to air and it smelled of mold/sewage. We discovered some other quirks too - for example the only way to turn off the lights by the bedside is to unscrew the bulbs. However, could not be a better location for an apartment in this city and for the price I think it's reasonable.

The terrace, the location and the views :)

Everything was fine but for most of the people the rooms can be very small.

Very close to the centre, right near the cable car. The terrace have an awesome view to the sea. The host was helpful and polite.

The room was a bit too dark

Location fantastic

Miss leading information about the suite .one room and a kitchenette. Far too small no daylight in room Dark and dingy

The location is prime, very central and the cable car is literally next door which allows you to get to Mazzarò (shore) very quickly. The property is quite close to the town center, restaurants and main attractions. The view is very picturesque, specially for sunrise pictures.

The owner wasn’t proactive in providing any information about the area. He didn’t show any interest in interacting with us. We were given only one suggestion about a restaurant which belongs to a friend of his. He rushed into checking us in and requested copies of passports be sent via WhatsApp. We had to message him the next day asking for his email address as we don’t typically send sensitive information via apps. As for the checkout, we had to inquire about what to do. Communication with him was very brief and replies would take a few hours. As we settled in, we started noticing issues in the room. Firstly, It took us a while to close a curtain which is very old and seems stuck. We did have to close it for privacy reasons as we were on the same floor as the communal terrace. The shower tray seems to be clogged as it fills up quickly and it takes a few minutes minutes to drain. This was flagged in a previous review about two years ago. Secondly, there is a bad sewage smell in the bathroom and this was also mentioned in previous reviews. Not enough essentials were provided for the only three nights we stayed there. The wi-fi connection is terrible and I couldn’t use my laptop. I had to tether from my phone hotspot. If you need to work remotely, that’s not ideal.

The view and the terasse was amazing and the location is super! Next to the center and the cable car to the city!

-1 for the parking situation downstairs anywhere in the garage. There are just two parking slots at the top, so we parked in the garage where it was hard to come in! but at least we got one!

The location is perfect, right next door to the cable car down to Isola Bella and 5 minutes from wonderful bars and restaurants. The terrace is absolute heaven with an outstanding view. A cute suite with just enough equipment.
