BB Zurigo Val Di Noto

The owner's sister was kind, which was the one positive part of my one-night stay at Zurigo Val di Noto in July. I never met the owner, so I can't comment on his personality. I won't be back, and I strongly advise against staying here. I rarely write reviews, but I wouldn't wish this on anyone. The room was tiny and basic, with very few amenities. In a double room there was only one bedside table, and the shower had nowhere to put personal items. Dust was everywhere, the shower was broken, and there was no toilet paper. The pillows felt like hard leather balls, so I made one out of towels instead and still couldn't sleep. I'm just glad the stay lasted one night. The disaster-or-war line is a joke, but my experience really was that bad.

Breakfast was basically missing, just coffee pods, and there wasn't even a microwave to heat a drink. Management didn't seem very attentive to guests, and the price was far too high for what was offered. My room was on the first floor, reached by a very narrow, uncomfortable spiral staircase. The air conditioner blew straight onto the bed, so it was practically unusable. There was a tiny window above the bed, and without a handle it was awkward to open or close the shutters. The bathroom was very small, the rooms weren't cleaned by staff, and the linens were changed every two days. Sorry for the long description.

The place was welcoming and really nice, and our room was spotless. The owner was kind and helpful. It was a pleasure staying with you for a few days, thank you so much.

I expected a lot better. The managers were kind enough, but the room itself wasn't very good.
