Hotel Riva del Sole

Friendly staff in an excellent beachfront location with convenient walking distance access to historic center of Cefalu

Good location next to the beach and 5 minutes walk from the town.

One of the noisiest hotels I've ever stayed in. Walls and doors paper thin and pipes extremely noisy.

This was the worst experience with a hotel stay I have ever had - including adventures in china, vietnam, cambodia, indonesia, europe, and U.S. It was the absolute worst experience I have ever had with staff and management at any lodging anywhere in the world.

Booking.com states that wireless internet is available "in the entire hotel." In fact it is only useable in the basement. Internet access is imperative in my travels and job related responsibilites - it is why I booked this hotel along with the location. When I had to leave after one night - which informed management of within an hour of arriving and after discovering that internet would not work in room as the booking.com confirmation indicated - I was told by management that paying for the one night was sufficient with no penalty applied. 4 days after I left they did an unauthorized charge for an additional night to my credit card. I returned to Cefalu, at their request to get a refund, and they refused when I got there.
