Alba Palace Hotel

挺好的酒店

服務尚好，早餐一般

The hotel is central, clean, comfortable and just what you need for a short stay. Staff are friendly and courteous. Breakfast choices are ample for a hotel in a town of this size. Happy with our experience at the Alba Palace this time around and we will stay again if we return to Favara.

The main picture used to advertise this hotel is a rooftop with hot tub. This is NOT accessible to guests. It is for the presidential suite only. There is no pool, spa or hot tub access. I wish we’d known this before booking as we chose this hotel because we wanted a day to chill and sunbathe, which we weren’t able to do. The spa is under development which is noted in fine print on the hotels website. Other than that, hotel is nice, modern, clean. Restaurant food is great. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Nice hotel with comfortable rooms. VERY difficult to find (not on satnav and incorrect on googlemaps). Instructions were sent which were incomplete and difficult to understand. Restaurant was inexplicably closed on a Saturday night as well as one other night of our three night stay. Closest restaurant was very average. The rest nearby were all closed. Power was off for 8 hours one day (we were not informed). Breakfast was good.

We stayed 1 night at the hotel to visit The Valley of the Temples. What we liked: - it was a very modern hotel, recently renovated, designed very tastefully and uniquely. - the service personnel was very attentive and friendly. We were offered an upgrade to a Junior Suite. - the hotel’s restaurant served us high-end food and beverages! - it has a cool wine cellar where you could do a wine tasting with previous reservation What you need to consider before booking a room here: - the hotel is located in a little town named Favara which has nothing really interesting to offer other apart from the hotel and it’s restaurant. The surroundings were full of waste and abandoned buildings. We did not feel really save nor comfortable walking around there. - except from the hotel’s restaurant, it lacks communal areas to relax. Regarding the poor surroundings, this would have been very appreciated. We thought that the jacuzzi and roof top shown in the fotos were communal but in principle they only are accessible for the Penthouse Apartment. However, since at our stay the penthouse was not booked we were offered to use the jacuzzi, which was very nice of the hotel team. - the breakfast was compared to the nice and sophisticated dining too simple. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it to all who are planning to stop by Agrigento and visit the archeological park.
