Residenza Porta delle Botteghelle — Hotel in Trapani

I had a good stay here, and overall would consider it a good value.||Room: We booked the superior triple, which was roomy and had a small balcony overlooking the alley below. I would say the pictures made the room seem more charming than it was. The hewn timber ceiling was a nice feature, but the rest of the room seemed like standard hotel fare. The shower was small but quite adequate. It might be a fluke, but our room was permeated with the cloying stench of cheap room freshener throughout our four-day stay, even after we removed the offending units. (Note that we were offered several other rooms, none of which smelled at all, and in the end elected to stay put because we liked the size of our room and its balcony).||Location: Very convenient. A couple of blocks from the main tourist thoroughfare and close to many restaurants.||Food: Breakfast was quite good, with a selection of meats, fruits, cheeses, cereal and even pastries from the panificio down the street.||Hospitality: The shining star of this place is Elena, the manager/front desk attendant, who was unflaggingly cheerful and helpful. Need a laundry that will wash your clothes for you? Check. Need to find rubbing compound for your car because someone who shall remain nameless scratched the bumper by backing into a light fixture? Check. She really was a pleasure to deal with throughout and you should tip her when you leave.||Overall, you can expect good value in a good location, but (other than Elena) not a...

We loved everything about this property. Aldo made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The accommodation is wonderfully located in a quiet little street close to the water, shops and restaurants. The rooms are very spacious and clean with excellent water pressure in the shower. Our room had a balcony overlooking the street and it was very quiet at night and we had an excellent nights sleep. Breakfast was lovely with a great range of options. Aldo will make your fresh coffee for you. There is also free parking close to the accommodation. We were able to drive to right outside the door and drop off our bags. Use Google Maps/directions and you will find this Hotel very easily. We loved our stay in Trapani and were sad to leave.||I would recommend this property to anyone staying in Trapani. Aldo will look after you and make your stay very enjoyable.||Thanks Aldo - we...

Stayed for a week in peak July season and it really couldn't have been better value for money. We didn't opt for the breakfast but there was plenty to choose from what we saw at the breakfast spread. The room was exactly like the pictures and the air conditioning worked well. The location was absolutely ideal with it being a 10 minute walk to the port for the island tours, buses to Palermo, 15/20 min walk to the train station and it is right between the main historical streets and the local restaurants. The only downside was the shower - it is very small in the room we had and the hot water went twice. That said the staff were immediately able to fix it so it wasn't really a hardship. All in all I would definitely stay again if I'm ever in Trapani in the future.

The bed was a bit too hard for my preference but my...
