Addaura Village e Congressi in Lido di Mondello

Not what we expected
I think that non-Europeans or non-Italians need to understand that this is a place more relatable to a New Jersey seaside motel. We checked in for one night basically because it was unexpected trip down to Sicily and we needed to sleep somewhere. The time was midnight when we arrived. The area seemed very sketchy. We made the immediate decision that we were just gonna go to sleep get up and check out. Upon check-in, I guess the security manager was there checking us in and he wanted to hold onto our passports until the morning when the registration crew arrived. That was a hard no from us. Instead, he just took a photocopy, which is exactly what he should’ve done and he did push back a little bit as to why we would not leave our passports… which let me add were not going into a safe. They were just being left behind the registration desk.

Let me add the place is clean - however it’s just not what we expected - upon awaking in the morning- The views were very nice and it seemed a lot safer than the night time seen. It is a huge area for nighttime bar club life. It truly is a seaside party town at night… However, I did wake up and see many many people, running jogging on the streets. So again- think Jersey Shore vibe- seaside heights type!

The hotel was just not our vibe and I am just trying to stress that people need to understand that this is really more of a motel and not a hotel.

Check out the next morning was extremely easy and they did not give us a hard time at al

I arrive in the evening and am welcomed at the reception where they accept my request for a room with a sea view. Clean, somewhat minimal room with few accessories in the bathroom (bath shower, all-in-one shampoo and bar of soap) a bit cheap for a 4 star hotel. In the colleagues' rooms there were also the bucket and the broom.... A negative aspect is the breakfast, the hot drinks are not served at the table and the coffee is served in a disposable glass even if they accepted the request to have it in a cup. Tables with plastic tablecloths not exactly clean, I struggled to find a less dirty table. Breakfast products to be improved for a 4 star, only 2 fruit yoghurts remained. Frozen eggs presumably hard-boiled but upon opening them you sadly discover that they are soft-boiled (so cold?!?). Given the situation, I preferred to skip lunch. Negative opinion shared with other fellow guests. The kindness of the people at the reception is appreciable (the two stars are for them)
