B&B Ma&Mi For You in Cefalu

It is not easily accessible there was no one there when I arrived and this was not explained when booking. I had to send a number of messages eventually the host arrived he was not very welcoming the lock on the room was difficult to use and inside the room the shower smelt when I first switched it on, the shower attachment fell off, the towel hook fell off, the remote control didn’t work. I didn’t feel comfortable to say anything because the host was not very approachable. There was a balcony but you could not use it as there was an extractor of hot air. In the evening after having dinner in town it did not feel safe to walk into the building alone it was very dark entrance and you have to use a lift to the floor - the building is surrounded by scaffolding and looks like it is under construction. It is not like it is depicted by the online website.

Many things were wrong with this place. The fact we paid for a balcony and received a building site being one. Our balcony was covered in concrete, cigarettes and other forms of rubbish. I left my clothes out to dry and returned to find they were covered with a coating of concrete. The building work also begins very early so don't expect to lie in, and if you come back for an afternoon nap that's also impossible, unless you can sleep to the sound of drilling. It's quite disgraceful that they sold us a room with a balcony and a view.

It's a non-smoking accommodation but clearly people smoke in the common room as it smelt of cannabis and there were cigarette butts.

The breakfast was pretty average, it's first come first serve and they recycle the same cakes day to day and you can only have one coffee, after that it's an extra euro per hot drink.

It isn't too far to the centre of town, bit of a walk however we were fine with that. If you aren't very mobile you might struggle with the walk as it's on an incline and takes around 15 minutes to get to the port.

Positives were there is free parking, except that's first come first serve so you aren't guaranteed. Oh and there is a lift which I guess could be a positive?

I don't recommend staying here, I think for the price they charge you will find better places with more welcoming hosts, less noise and an actual balcony.
