Porta delle Botteghelle0

Breakfast was amazing, freshly baked pizza and Sicilian pastries from nearby bakery; We loved the town, the buildings and fishing harbour. Not yet spoiled by too many tourists and not yet destroyed by "diversity" of invasive non-Sicilian peoples and cultures. We loved the experience of trying to communicate with very friendly locals who have retained their language. We stayed for 2 weeks and departed feeling there was still so much more to discover and more time was needed to get to know the local people better, the non tourist shops and nearby towns. Sicily is a great place for us and we enjoyed both old Trapani as well as going further afield by bus and train. The hotel was perfect, a genuine Sicilian building in a narrow street with balcony (not an ultra modern hotel which could be anywhere).

We visited Palermo 9 years previously and returned again this time for a day trip to refresh our very happy memories. Shocked wouldn't describe our experience this time. Diversity has hit Palermo big time, e.g. a guy with a "Ghetto Blaster" blaring out loud Islamic music outside the catholic cathedral, (what would happen if Hymns were sung in front of a mosque), and so many African young men hanging around the streets menacingly looking for opportunities. Felt unsafe this time. So much so, we won't go back to Palermo and were very pleased to return to the safety of old Trapani.

Perfect location for old town visit, it is located almost at the heart of old town, also beach nearby Very friendly host with very good English (which was super rare in Sicily) cute half-balcony with good old town view very close port located good size room breakfast choice was alright, but hot food not so delicious Good price for the location and room performance

pretty dark room, could be much brighter - please fix the lights issue! the towels weren't changed during our stay because there was a rule that towels are changed once in three days I think (if needed more frequently, you are charged additionally) - not too much bothered by this, but could be like once in two days, especially during the hot months when shower is daily necessity

Very friendly and helpful staff, who gave us lots of useful tips and made us feel very welcome. Location is excellent, in the heart of the old quarter of Trapani surrounded by cafes, bars, and restaurants, with the port for Favignana also a short walk away. Breakfast was very tasty and filling. Room was plain but comfortable and spacious. Good value for money. Overall, a highly recommended place to stay in Trapani.

Softer or warmer lighting for the room would be an improvement.

The location is excellent, near the centre and with restaurants in the street below, yet quiet. The hotel is also near the ferry terminals for those heading out to the islands or vice versa. Rooms in this house of very old origin are beautiful and have their individual character. At the same time it is a modern place, with a glas lift. Very special credits go to Elena in the reception who helped us organise things for our mini-holiday well beyond the immediate arrangements at the hotel. That she, which is not self-evident in this location, is competely fluent in English also helped a lot.

The breakfast choice was not very wide and it appeared that those guests who had breakfast a bit later during the breakfast hours rather had to make do with whatever was left, without refills of the supplies. The lady serving was not particularly friendly.

The location is perfect, Elena at the reception was super nice and helpful, it was a very good ratio of price and quality.

The breakfast could be enhanced at least for scrambled eggs which is a minimum almost everywhere. Also, milk was missing. The bathroom could get more hooks since the only one was too high to comfortably use it.

Spent a week in this property. It is situated right in Trapani historical centre. Room was comfortable and breakfast was good, Staff was very helpful and friendly. Special mention to Elena who was always efficient in answering our various queries. She also gave us several recommendations which we made use of. Patrizia was also very helpful with our room service.

We stayed 3 days in July, and we loved the central position, very close to the harbour but also to the town centre. The room was incredibly spacious, a nice bathroom and a small balcony from which you can see the sea on both sides. I recommend staying at Porta Delle Botteghelle.

Breakfast very good . very quiet to say it in the city centre

There was no were to hang washing ( wet swim wear ) The light was not good in the bedroom , there was very little natural light because of the inner court yard ,,, has a interior design ( the lighting could have been greatly improved at not much cost...

Great location in the middle of the city centre, great rooms. The staff was super helpful and nice. The breakfast is correct.

Great location, but parking there is impossible so you need to find a parking place a few hundred meters away from it, at least. The breakfast was correct. It could have better quality juices, and replenish the cold meats more often.

Everything was amazing, location was perfect ,room was stylish !Special thanks to Elena at the reception she was very helpful, friendly and polite during our accomodation even after check-out ! Thank you for all ,hope to stay there one day in the near future !
