not even a 2 star

Advantages: good breakfast, reception personel
Disadvantages: all the rest

We are a Belgian group. We stayed with 44 people in this hotel. Breakfast is verry good and people at the reception are friendly. And the rest ... it's not even a 2 star hotel, verry poor quality/price. The food in the restaurant is verry, verry bad (I've never had this food, not even in a 1 star hotel), the waiters (except Rosie) are rude and unpolite (only beautifull woman can get supplements). It gives you the feeling being in hotel Fawlty Towers, ...

A basic family-friendly hotel in a great location

Advantages: Lovely beachfront location
Disadvantages: Poor restaurant

Hotel Tourist looked very promising when we first arrived after a long drive from Palermo. The bar area is very pleasant, and the staff friendly and welcoming. Our room was good - fairly basic but clean and sufficient for our needs. However, the quality of the food was not so good - and unfortunately didn't improve during our stay. We had booked half board - and quickly realised we should have gone for B&B, as there are some fabulous restaurants ...
...the quality of the food ranged from average to poor. Outside the pool area was large, but didn't feel particularly safe for children, with no children's area. The beach across the road was lovely, although we could have done with a deckchair attendant to help drag chairs into position! Overall, it's a nice base to explore Cefalu, which is a beautiful little town with many lovely bars and restaurants. But I would definitely recommend staying B&B ...

Don't stay at Liberty, very dangerous area

Advantages: near city centre
Disadvantages: very dangerous area

...city in Sicily and the Liberty Hotel is in a bad area of the city. I tried to stay there but was carjacked right outside the Liberty Hotel!!! A man blocked the road while his team of thieves opened my car doors and stole our bags. Because of this incident, I drove off and didn't stay at the hotel that night. My girlfriend was terrified. When I told the hotel about this incident, they would not refund my money for that night. The manager said it was ...
...do not stay at the Liberty Hotel. I don't like supporting people that profit on other's misfortunes. Also, be very careful in that area. We spoke to someone who grew up in that area and recommended not traversing in that area if you are a tourist. Stay away from the Liberty Hotel!!! I consider them to be thieves just like the men who robbed me for their actions. ...

Villa Esperia - dont go

Advantages: views
Disadvantages: poor rooms and awful restaurant

We returned to this hotel after staying here a couple of years ago. Unfortunately the standards have dropped dramatically. The rooms are adequate but some balconies are only the french type, and are not large enough for a chair. The staff are polite but distant, and the restaurant manager is constantly aggresive and extremely rude. Food quality is very poor, the salad bar consisted of a couple of lettuce and some tomatoes put onto the bar for customers ...
