We stayed here as part of a student tour group. The staff were amazingly accommodating and helpful. The rooms had mini fridge and a decent sized bathroom. All rooms had balconies with table/chairs and either a view of the ocean or Mt. Etna. There were a couple glitches with the rooms (door knob problem, shower head issue, lights went out) but the staff fixed them immediately. It is a 1 block walk to the beach and there are cafes and a grocery nearby. Breakfast was fine with croissants, ham and cheese, cereal and yogurt. Dinners were ok, but obviously prepared for a student group (pasta bolonese & meatloaf one night and more pasta followed by a bunless burger and fries the next...) I would definitely stay here again if I were in the area. The rooms & friendly staff made our stay.

3 points for 3 star hotel. I believe its fair enought! Especially if we consider the price for a night in comparing with other 3 star hotels in Europe. But however I would like to point out with BIG PLUSES on following: * The young man on the reception with the name Francesco is amazing, kind and really friendly. You may count on him for any requests and questions * Assistance of the personel in hotel was really good in order to get great service regarding to needs in the room or any kind of reqierments that you might have * Croasans with the chocolate are amazing and I believe that those ones are homemade * Overall experience with the hotel stuff is positive Description of the room: Room is spaceous, clean, and good enough for what you actually need. Bathroom is ok, might need a bit renovation, and essentials such as: shampoo, shower gel... also hair dryer is not power enough, and couldnt hold on for more then 1 minute of being active. Half board service: Breakfast is okay, but its repetative not much news regarding the menu set up. Dinner :) contains self service buffet with great vegatables. And for the main menu you are up to choose between two meals. Also,if you find that you need a change of the HB menu dont forget that close to the hotel you may find plenty of restaurants that are amazing as well. Sicily sightseeing: This is mandatory cause you didnt come here only for a hotel and its service experience! You are here for much more. My recommendation if you are here with the car go visit: Aeolian Islands!! ( choose one or more there are 7 islands) Taormina, Etna, Siracuse, Beaches of Noto: San Lorenzo, Beaches of Letojanni... Also you dont need navigation just install offline map over the app Here we Go!! Kind regards for Hotel Alexander team hope to see you soon!!

Superb location, only a few meters away from a beach, small supermarket and a bus-station. Spacious and clean room. The breakfast was very simple, but as expected when you take the price in considerstion.
