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

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!
8.0
Friendly staff and walkable to the attractions. We could park the car before check-in. Although additional charges are required almost everything, such as parking, access to the private beach, beach towel and bottle of water, the staff explained clearly and we enjoyed the time at the beach.

Great location, staff are very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was great with a beautiful view over the bay from the balcony. 2 minute walk to the cable car to take up to Taormina. 5 minute walk to Isola Belle beach, perfect location. Highly recommend!

Nice, clean and friendly hotel. About 20 minute walk from the train station along beach front. Good pool and breakfast. Perfect for a quick overnight stay. Beautiful sunsets in the area if your dining out by the beach.

Before we left for our trip into Cefalu, we were reassured by the hotel that there would be many cabs at the station. There were none. When we called Hotel Tourist for assistance, they said no, and then hung up on us. I walk with a cane and it was tough. They were sarcastic with us when we didn’t understand that the key turned on electrical for the room. After the first day it was better, (attitude) but I wouldn’t come here again. The room was so small, and the area wasn’t good for choices regarding restaurants. Cefalu is amazing but I’m assuming the other places were a lot more expensive. I live in a tourist area myself, and I get it: when the season is over everyone wants to relax. But we felt as though we were bothering them.

If you want wifi in your hotel room do not book this hotel as many of the rooms do not have wifi which was very disappointing when it advertises free wifi in all rooms

Overall great!

We have an awful experience in this place. Upon arrival they told us that they do not allow dogs, even when they are published as pet friendly in both hotels.com and Google maps. They said they were not responsable for any information in any third party app other than the hotel’s website and impose a cleaning fee as a condition for us to stay. They were very rude and stubborn, not willing to admit that its not they client’s fault how they set up their hotel. Would not recommend at all.

I would definitely come back here. Good breakfast. Good pool. Sea view. Lovely 15 minute walk to centre.
10.0
Hotel Tourist is a short walk from the center of beautiful Cefalu. We arrived 2 hours before check-in time but our room was ready. As we flew at 15h, we requested if we could leave the room at 11.30h instead of 12.30h. As it is May this was also not a problem so we could get some extra sun by the lovely pool. The breakfast was excellent compared to other hotels with a lot of choice, good bread, fresh fruit, eggs.
We will defenitly come back!

I really loved the pool area, and having a room that looked over the pool out to sea.. the staff were lovely too!
8.0
Nice place with great pool. When specifically for the pool side to do some laps.
Area is great and walking distance from the town.
3.0
Clean hotel and airy rooms. Very friendly staff. Putting two single mattresses on a double bed is not a good idea however as it does not help for a very comfortable sleep. And having to go up four steps to get to the elevator, luggage and all is not ideal neither. Otherwise a decent hotel, on the waterfront and only fifteen minutes or so from the centre.
10.0
This property was beachfront, and had a nice swimming pool. We walked into the Cefalu city center every night we stayed - it was a decent walk, but not overwhelming. The air conditioning in the room functioned great. We enjoyed checking out the little bars/food opportunities along the beach as well. Overall, a nice, clean hotel in a great location.
4.0
The hotel looked great on line, was as far away from the actual town as you could be, all good on arrival, when we came back from a walk upon entering our room there was a terrible odour (a sewer back up smell) which we complained about 3 times without any assistance. This was a very strong odour and permeated our clothing.
4.0
Bad 1st. Whoever fitted out our bedroom had no idea of guests needs as we had NO drawers and had to live out of our suitcases. They make you walk out onto the public pavement to get round to the pool, when they have a perfectly good way through an outside eating area, which is similar to most other hotels we have stayed at, but they block the gates. 3euro for a beach towel which you can keep for till u leave but 3 euro if you exchange for a clean one. Only eat there, in evening, once and wouldn't a second time. Breakfast just about acceptable. No courtesy room after we checked out, had to use, inadequate, communal pool shower block. Our room safe was loose in the wardrobe and you could easily walk off with it. Beach very stony in the sea, unlike the photo. Sandy area further along. Now the good. Excellent hotel car pick up at the airport, 190euros return, cheaper than others. Great that the Hotel beach sun beds/umbrellas were free (rare in Italy) and directly opposite the hotel. Lifeguards on watch both pool and beach. Staff extremely helpful and friendly, especially Roy the barman who would bring the drinks to the pool for you if he wasn't busy. Pool and surroundings always clean and loads of free sun beds with no-one reserving them while we were there. Other guests seemed mainly Italian. Hotel prices reasonable, similar to other bars etc, bar food and drinks OK. 15 minute walk into town. 2 to 3 minute walk to nearest beach bar then another every minute or so, towards town.
6.0
The ocean view was beautiful! The bathroom facilities were poor; the shower was slippery, there was no place to hang clothes for dressing, and the hot water ran out after two showers. The elevator was five steps up, so it was not accessible for the elderly or handicapped, and it was very difficult to carry luggage up the stairs, to the elevator.
4.0
The hotel is a little dated but very clean and the rooms have everything you need. Staff are very helpful. Absolutely beautiful area, pictures do not do this place justice. It is stunningly beautiful and I would recommend this place to anyone. The food is fab, the area very clean and the hospitality superb. Amazing sunsets!
4.0
A nice hotel 10 minute walk into town. Nice private beach a few minutes along the promenade. Could have done with providing beach towels.
Linen in room well used and a bit grubby but otherwise all clean and comfortable. Nice pool but too deep for young children or non swimmers. Shallowest part 1.5m, great if you really want to swim.
5.0
Hotel ideally positioned along the coast in a quiet spot.
Lovely big pool and sitting area.
We overlooked the pool with a little balcony.
Breakfast was very good and plenty of.
10 minute walk if that into the main town along the front.
Town of Cefalu is beautiful lovely winding streets, plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants.
Great atmosphere.
Would defiantly go back and stay longer.

The Hotel is located near the sea and offers a swimming pool which is a plus when the weather is not really hot enough to swim in the sea.

Pleasant, room with a view
3.0
The hotel location was right on the beach within walking distance to the adorable old town of Cefalu. The staff was exceedingly kind and helpful. The room was pretty small and basic. The beds were just only ok. Breakfast was included and they croissants were good but the rest was simply fine. Because of it being the off season the chairs on the beach were not set up yet (understandably) and it was too cold and rainy to use the pool so I can’t comment upon those. In all the hotel was simply fine and a good price.
4.0
Stayed in hotel for a couple of days. Received a room upgrade to room with a see view which was pleasing. Hotel is in a good location. 15 - 20 minute walk into Cefalu along the beech front. Swimming pool is a really good size and plenty of room to sit around. Wifi in the rooms worked well. Room was very clean. Hotel was fine for a short stay as 3 star hotel.
5.0
Best hotel pool I have experienced. Lovely beach and view. Water fun for snorkeling. Fabulous view.

Good quiet location - a short walk into town. The hotel had its own small beach and a good size pool with plenty of sunbeds. The restaurant was large with both indoor and outdoor seating areas. There was plenty of choice at breakfast and friendly dining staff. The reception staff were excellent and very helpful. Overall a great experience.

Nice hotel close to the beach and restaurants. Very friendly staff and great facilities.
2.0
The hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the beautiful old town of Cefalu. The walk is a pleasant one along the seafront. The pool is very large with plenty of beds, which were always readily available, and there is also a private beach just seconds away. At breakfast we were pleased with a large variety of food. Three of us stayed in a room of adequate size. We were pleased with our decision to book a pool view room, which also gave us a clear sea view. We really enjoyed our stay here.
The only downside would be that the wifi in our room was patchy.
