Having read some very positive reviews of this hotel, we were deeply disappointed with the room we were offered.
On arrival, we were shown into a small dark room, with a small window facing onto a side alley. Reviews we had read all spoke about the “wonderful” views from the rooms. Complaints to the desk clerk met with no result. “Sir, this is the room which you have reserved”, he insisted. Checking my booking, it said “Standard Room” - but didn’t say “Dark Room at back facing onto alleyway”.
Turns out there are three rooms at the front with a sea view, and these are at a premium price. We couldn’t upgrade, since they were fully booked.
Outside, the guide book had mentioned the hotel faced onto a “small sandy beach”. A more apt description would be “dirty, litter-strewn strip of sand close to equally dirty water”. Parking outside was also a problem, since the hotel is close to a marina which generates significant local traffic.
To be fair, the room itself was clean, had good air-conditioning, satellite tv and a minibar. Bathroom was small, but adequate (though the shampoo dispenser was empty). At 86 euros a night, it probably wasn’t the worst value I’ve ever had – assuming you want to visit Castellammare Del Golfo. After a day and a half there, I can’t remember why we decided to go there in the first place.
Won’t be back
