Hotel Del Viale — Hotel in Agrigento

I booked this for a group of 5 of us.||||The sleeping facilities were fine. Comfortable bed, clean cotton linens. We slept well.||Breakfast, which was included was also fine, with choice of cereals, fruit, cheese and ham, egg, croissants (all sugar coated, when I prefer mine plain) and buns.||When we asked for a hairdryer, they brought what was required.||The location was also very good. Although it is an upward walk (40 minutes)from the museum and Valley of the Temples, most hotels are at the top of the hill, where all the restaurants are. It is also possible to get a taxi or a bus from the bottom to the top.||Parking was on the street, but we found availability.||||However, I was totally put off by the bathroom (see pictures) and the black mould.

Despite the presence of restaurants in the area, we found it impossible to get dinner before at least 8 o'clock without going into the old section of town, which is just a short walk away (about 15 minutes). Breakfast was fine and staff...

It is a budget hotel on just two or three floors in a large block of flats. It is a budget hotel - the rooms are ok, clean, modern, but sooo tiny. The bathroom is ridiculous. I think that there are bigger bathrooms in some mobile homes or campers. :-) The rooms are connected one to each other. If you need only one room they just lock the door between the rooms. You can hear every single word from behind the door. The weakest point of the hote is the buffet breakfast. Very poor choice even for Italy. The hotel is in a good location. The historical center is in a walking distance. If you travel by car you can park it on the street in front of the hotel. I always found a space. Next time in Agrigento I will try to find...
