We arrived to this hotel late at night due to a late flight. Unfortunately, we were greeted by prostitutes on every corner of this neighbourhood - and they were not discreet The hotel itself was hidden by behind an insignificant door and a long flight of stairs! The room also had steep stairs with a handrail that kept coming off.
The room was not very inviting, and breakfast consisted of some sweet pastry and cereal left on the kitchen table for self service. In the end we decided to check out the following day and find a new hotel. I would not recommend as a pleasurable experience of any kind. Ratings here are too generous in my opinion. We stayed there for 4 days in October and were very glad that we spent our time there. First of all, we booked an en-suite double room and got quite a large room under the roof with a little private area outside where the bathroom is.
The room looked very nice and clean, there was a bed, a sofa, a wardrobe, a table with chairs, a TV, air-conditioner and even a kettle! There is good wi-fi, too. We could also use a guest fridge. Secondly, Christian is a fantastic owner and host! He speaks very good English which was a relief in Sicily. Moreover, he starts by giving you useful travelling tips about the town and his own map. But when you arrive, just leave your luggage at the bottom of the stairs.
Christian has a special device to lift the luggage, so he will help you. Wish you a nice stay! I would love to give Sol Sicily 5 stars but because of my short stay I was not able to explore the location and feel it unfair to rate the area properly. But, for all other accommodations I think they were a very good choice for me. I am a solo traveler headed back home and needed a place close to the airport. Very good value for a comfortable, clean room with a great air conditioner!
After climbing the stairs with my luggage the clean shower and cool room where very relaxing. Cristian helped with dinner options and information about the area. Breakfast was a feast of many selections that I enjoyed with another family in the large kitchen. Very warm welcome and a true Sicillan atmosphere. Do not use this BnB if you are wanting a cookie cutter hotel experience. It is much more unique and authentic!
