La Triade affittacamere

This was the best value property that I stayed at in Sicily. The host was very friendly and very accommodating as to my arrival time. My room was very good and of sufficient size for a single person. The kitchen facilities were very good and I was able to cook my dinner each night. It was only a short walk to the train/bus station, and an easy walk to Ortigia. There is a good supermarket about 5 minutes away. The map provided was very helpful. As noted by others, there are three rooms available. I had no problems with this, although I did have one couple who were constant complainers! The available breakfast was basic, but a welcome and adequate start to the day

Marilena è stata super-gentile, dandomi consigli su cosa vedere e su quali spiagge puntare. Ho apprezzato l'aria condizionata e il mini-bar in camera.

La colazione, purtroppo solo prodotti confezionati del supermercato, ma in abbondanza. La mia camera affacciava sull'interno del condominio con parcheggio, ma di notte silenzioso.

Chambre très propre, avec climatisation et frigo. Petit déjeuné inclus. L’hôte Marilena est très aimable !

Un petit peu loin à pied de Ortigia. Rien d’autre à part ça !

Checking in was standard procedure and done in a matter of minutes. The room was comfortable and so was the bed. Everything looked clean and proper. There is also a small balcony. Breakfast, albeit basic, was quite alright. There was even some fruit, which is rare to find in my experience in the hotels I've stayed so far in Sicily. It's close to the archaeological park Neapolis, but it's a bit of a walk to Ortigia.

I had agreed with the owner that I would be there at a specific time to pick up my luggage and she said yes. When the time came, she didn't show up. In fact, she was one hour late. Due to this, I lost my train connection to Catania, which was extremely annoying. She did her best to solve the situation, drove me to the station, but the train had already left. She made sure my ticket was valid for the next available train and offered to pay for my bus fare if necessary. I can definitely say that she was sorry and apologized for it and tried to make the best out of a bad situation. But let's be honest here, it was unprofessional. You do not keep your guests waiting for one hour to pick up their luggage, especially if they have to catch the train. In the end, I managed to catch another train, but it was the feeling of wasting my time that really irritated me. If it hadn't been for this, I would have given a higher score.
