Hotel la Martinica

Excelllent facilities and exceptionally helpful staff especially the girls at the front desk. Breakfast was plentiful and we enjoyed sitting in the dining room meeting other guests. The room was clean and spacious and the bathroom was large. The restaurant was wonderful and the ocean view spectacular.

The hotel is great. The view is perfect, rooms are clean, breakfast is very good and a lot of choices are available. In the vicinity, the town is quite a long walk without street lights in the night, and the curbs are very dirty so you cannot go out to eat without a car - but then you cannot have a wine so that limits your dinner options to just the restaurant which is quite expensive. Also, we booked this accommodation specifically for the swimming pool, which was very dirty and shut down the second day we were there. Upon request, the staff indicated that we could swim in the sea, wich is true but not why we booked this place. So all in all mixed feelings, loved the hotel but we would have liked to know that the swimming pool wouldn’t be available as supposed to what was advertised.

My girlfriend and I are currently staying here. Don’t bother coming unless you like rude staff, a hell of a walk to the nearest train station (25 min walk) and love having a filthy bathroom! Honestly our stay couldn’t be any worse and we have actually just booked another hotel for the remainder of our trip in central Palermo. The area is run down, the food in the restaurant actually isn’t that bad apart from the prices. A standard pasta dish is around €27. I paid for a better room and was given a room on the ground floor (201) right next to the lobby and was kept up all night by staff coming and going and new arrivals. This hasn’t even scratched the surface I could keep going with the countless problems we encountered. I think the worst part about the stay was arriving to our hotel with a filthy toilet, that’s totally unacceptable. I asked the manager if she could arrange a local taxi (or even if they could give us a lift to the train station which I did see in the reviews on Google they had offered some customers free of charge) the manager laughed and said it would cost €85 euros to get into Palermo central from this hotel. If your English reading this, please take my word for it and avoid like the plague! I can guarantee it will ruin your holiday.

Great location Staff was so helpful and nice. They were very understanding with any requests. The view from the room was beautiful. Not far from Palermo Easy access and parking Restaurant was delicious was great seafood selection A place to go

The staff was very friendly. The room was very nice. The beds were comfortable. Unfortunately, the room that was selected for our stay by staff was in a very loud area outside of the elevator and right next to the pool as well as next to the free breakfast area/cafeteria, dishes could be heard all morning long.

I’ve stayed in many, many hotels across 70+ countries and I rarely say this but this was a perfect stay. The hotel is beautiful! The grounds of the hotel are the star attraction. Beautiful decorations and everything you need. They found the right formula to run a perfect family owned hotel. In front of the hotel are a Gelato store and a restaurant. I didn’t eat the restaurant but the Gelato was good (and cheap!). At the back is a lovely pool and a beach with direct access from the hotel. The rooms were nice and a little on the basic side - but they are very practical and clean and with the beautiful hotel grounds, you won’t be spending much time in there anyway. From start to finish this hotel was absolutely perfect. If happily come back with a book and enjoy the Sicilian peace. On a side note - I read some reviews saying it wasn’t in a safe area. I didn’t find this to be the case or an issue - it’s on a peaceful street and the hotel is on private grounds with a guard post. Parking is also free and in a gated area.

Very nice stay in Sicily with wonderful surroundings. Friendly staff but too chatty/noisy in the mornings. Thin walls don’t help with morning rest. Breakfast could be more diversified.

Good but noisy. Bad noise isolation.

We stayed 3 nights, out of season in October. Pool looks great, and easy access to the beach. Reception staff could not have been more helpful. Breakfast was excellent. By contrast the restaurant for dinner has no atmosphere, and as non-Italians we were largely ignored, so ate there only once before finding friendlier places nearby. Taking the train in to Palermo was easy and so much better than trying to drive and park!
