Hotel Federico II Central Palace

The decor is awesome. That is where the good things end. The front desk staff are arogant. We had to change rooms because of lack of working outlets, and a broken mini-fringe. The 2nd room required two large extension cords across the floor - very bad tripping hazzards. The breakfast was smaller than others ion the same price range. The bacon was terrible - not browned at all. It looked like it was steamed!!

The thing that sells this hotel is location, location, location. It is literally a block away (although you wouldn’t know it) from the Main Street that opens up to lots of shopping, pedestrian traffic, restaurants, a few small grocery shops. There are miles and miles to explore footsteps away from this hotel. What doesn’t sell this hotel is 1) dark, drab rooms - there simply aren’t enough lights 2) super stiff beds 3) even sadder flatter pillows 4) small small elevators 5) no ability for airflow in room unless you open the windows - very stuffy rooms 6) awkwardly positioned bathroom (if you sit on the toilet, your knees could easily bump into the glass shower door if you’re a tall person. Tip for western travelers visiting in December - it’s considered Sicily’s “cold” season so hotels shut off all A/C, only heat is available. However, temperatures are quite mild and pleasant but an open window is your only refuge for getting any air movement. Many of us complained how stuffy it got at night. I even asked the front desk if a fan was available but that was met with an empty stare. Breakfast is served on the 5th floor. Offerings are plenty - leaning heavy on the carbs and sweet offerings. But hot entrees can include scrambled eggs and ham. There is fresh cut up fruit available. Seating area is spacious, though the main space for breakfast can be cramped as guests and staff are sharing a narrower hall. Be patient, let the staff do their work, and step aside. Would I stay here again? Probably not, unless there was a really good discount. The location can’t be beat but that’s about it.

Personale reception da 5 stelle , soprattutto le ragazze gentilissime e preparatissime . Viceversa , per motivi d'affari , interloquito con il vertice dirigenziale , nettamente non all'altezza della situazione e poco professionale . Purtroppo quando nel settore corporate , il management verticistico pecca , si ripercuote a caduta su tutta la struttura .

Voto reale 4.6. ottimo albergo in posizione centrale e facilmente raggiungibile con i mezzi. Il servizio molto buono. Le camere ristrutturate molto confortevoli e sicuramente eleganti con qualche piccola cosa che non è il massimo per la praticità: Il tavolo è strettissimo, la sedia del tavolo è un divanetto posizionato a un metro e mezzo che va spostato, un appendi giacche mamma e bisogna mettere le giacche nell'armadio, la cassaforte piccolina persino per un computer 13 pollici. Manca anche una bottiglietta d'acqua gratuita, cosa indispensabile visto che l'acqua che esce dal rubinetto non è cristallina. Però il materasso è ottimo, il letto molto grande, la stanza grande e silenziosa, la doccia immensa con i dispenser, colazione continentale ricca per scelta. Insomma consigliatissimo e ci tornerei volentieri.

Rooms were good and had enough space. Location was also perfect: all the attractions were within walking distance. There was not much extra service at the hotel: no diner or bar and the wifi on the tv didn't work very good.

Vriendelijk personeel, en goede locatie net buiten het centrum dus snachts geen overlast. Verder waren de kamers jammer genoeg wel gedateerd, schimmel in de badkamer en een bed waarop je de veringen in je rug voelde prikken.
