I found the hotel's location very convenient with its proximity to various bus lines for easy sightseeing, although it's not situated in a particularly touristy area. It's also a breeze to travel to different attractions and very close to the train station for added convenience. However, the dining options mainly consisted of typical Sicilian products, which may not suit all tastes.

The hotel is conveniently located for sight-seeing by bus and is situated next to central bus lines. It's also right next to another train line intersecting the tube and is near a shop for added convenience. While not in a touristy area, it's comfortable enough to explore the city similar to the vibe of Inn on the Park.
