Great stay at the Alba

Beautiful and well maintained hotel and room (superior) with all facilities, and friendly and helpful staff. Excellent. Only problem can be finding the hotel, so follow the hotel's directions carefully to the Piazza Cavour. Great bars and trattoria in the Piazza if you do not eat and drink in the hotel.

Very beautiful hotel, nice and modern infrastructure. Close by there are nice restaurants. It’s really in the middle of the town. This makes it also hard to get there (quite small streets - takes some skilful driving and navigating). We also enjoyed the rooftop terrace with jacuzzi.

Great hotel for a night

Hotel is lovely. Right on the square where there are local restaurants and bars. I wouldn't venture out of this area though as nothing else in the locality. Ensure you ask for directions to the hotel before if you are driving as satnav can take you on some very narrow streets

A nice option for Valley of the Temples visitors

Though Favara itself was difficult to drive through due to the narrow streets, and at some points it seemed like we were lost, we eventually got to the Alba Palace Hotel and were able to park right in front of the entrance for free. We stayed here to see the Valley of the Temples, not a far drive from Favara. The hotel is very clean and modern. Helpful front desk and nice room. Balcony is tiny, only enough for one or two people to stand on. But the room and bathroom were great, nice and clean. We ate at their rooftop restaurant - nice view! But you must let the front desk know so they can reserve a table for you, as there are only a few tables up there. But it was a very nice meal, attentive service, and good food and drinks!

We arrived early and needed help finding parking. The manager on duty was an angel and helped us find a spot and to pay with the parking app. The room was great - nice and clean, good size and excellent shower. From the hotel we walked everywhere and enjoyed the central location immensely. What a charming spot and was a great team at the hotel. We would stay there again.

I arrived at this hotel around 9pm. If I could have found another hotel, I would have. The hotel clearly made the bed but did not change the sheets. I alerted the front desk staff and they addressed the issue straight away. ...and they comped my dinner. But I'd rather have clean bedsheets than a comped dinner.

We were fortunate enough to get a free upgrade to a higher class suite and it was absolutely perfect. The room was great, nice and clean and the front desk staff were very accommodating. Definitely worth the stay and only 15 minutes from the Valley of Temples which had a significant cost saving by staying there rather than staying in Agrigento.

C’est tout simplement, le meilleur hôtel dans lequel nous avons séjourné en sicile. Un accueil au top, des prestations de palace, un restaurant super… juste l’emplacement au milieu du centre historique pourrait ne pas plaire a tous. Et effectivement oubliez votre GPS pour y parvenir :-)

Personale super professional. Cordiale gentile e disponibile. Siamo stati molto contenti del soggiorno. L’unica cosa da puntualizzare è che sarebbe bene specificare che il solarium non è sempre disponibile purtroppo. Nonostante ciò siamo disposti a tornare perché tutto era molto eccellente.

Mooi hotel in het.centrum van het dorpje. We hadden een schone mooie kamer met 2 douches. De airconditioning was matig. Het duurde echt een halve dag volcontinu draaien totdat de temperatuur aangenaam was. Nu was het buiten wel ruim 25 graden. We hebben dit gemeld en we mochten, indien nodig, een andere kamer krijgen. Uiteindelijk hebben we hier geen gebruik van gemaakt. We hebben 1 dag voor 1 uur de jacuzzi op het dak gebruikt (dit moet dus gereserveerd worden). Het bad was echter niet heel erg fris. Het stadje is klein en er zijn niet veel restaurants. Op het centrale plein kan je heerlijk zitten en een drankje en een hapje doen. Verwacht er alleen niet te veel van.

Wonderful hotel - super clean and stylish

Everything is super clean and brand new. We had three rooms and everyone loved their rooms and the hotel. As others have said, finding it the first time can be a challenge. I'd recommend following the signs rather than followng Googles crazy route. A great hotel experience overall
