We were very pleased with the warm, personal reception by Mariangela, who made us feel like coming to the house of our relatives! As it was quiet, she gave us the best room in the house with a large terras,almost on the beach.( Please be aware, that Booking.com guests usually get the only room without seaview) The room was nice and clean, lunch and dinner were of very good quality, as well as the professionalism and friendliness of the staff.Unfortunately we had to leave too early to enjoy breakfast, but we are sure that was good as well!! In spite of the minor critical notes, we can fullheartedly recommend this hotel!! As the potential guests should get an objective impression, I need to place two critical notes: 1) it is difficult to find the hotel for the first time, it is badly signed out; the best road to get there from the a29/e90 is to take the exit Alcamo,drive to Alcamo Marina (towards the sea), turn left ( railroad on the right) and drive about one km, before you see a small sign on the right hand side with Hotel Battigia;cross the railroad, drive straight on ( 30 mtrs wrong way in a one way street!) and turn left. 2) if you are even a little bigger than "slim",you can't move in the shower cabin!

Beautiful Location, clean room and free wifi, great for days out in the region. Receptionist Marieangela was very, very helpful a real asset to the hotel and any hotel, she made a big difference to our stay. In the English culture you can choose to charge for service 'coperta' I personally dislike paying a service charge whether I receive good service or not, this practice is objectionable wherever I find it and make a point of not paying any tips if this mandatory surcharge is made.

The hotel is run down and does not offer value for money. Local youths gather in large numbers in the evening - well behaved but quite noisy! Makes parking impossible! If you want to stay in the hotel all the time the location is ok, otherwise is not convenient for travel/restaurants etc. The rooms and bathrooms are outdated and tired, as are the public areas. We decided to check out immediately after one night - the standard of the hotel was a real disappointment. Perhaps OK for familes with young children, otherwise choose a hotel in Castellemmare or Scopello

The view was spectacular and the nights were very relaxing as we could hear the small Mediterranean waves come in and recede. Also the hotel had a full-service restaurant attached. Unlike the typical hotel restaurant, though, the quality was good and the prices were reasonable. There was wifi, but not consistently. This was the fault of the service provider. Also, wifi was available only in the lobby and not in the rooms. (Hotel La Battigia had advertised that wifi was available in each room, but this was not the case.) One of the bathroom lights was not working and we requested it to be fixed. Nobody came to fix it, though. We upgraded our room. The hotel staff told us that it would be a suite with a sea view. It had a sea view, but was not a suite. (Our impression is that they do not know what the word "suite" means.)

The sea is very clean and it's directly at the hotel. You've got a privat small beach and free beach chairs. it's a nice long beach, without lots of people. breakfast buffet it's okay. the staff in the hotel restaurant is very friendly and funny. the two womens at the reception are very professional, helpful and friendly. it's a good hotel to relax. The air condition in the room 201 was more a hairdryer than an air conditioner (so it was tooooo hoooot to sleep!!), unfortunately they didn't react on our complaint (we said three times, than we gave up!!). The room has got one window, and this window is right to the front of a teenager bar!! so it was noisy and sometimes impossible to find a parkspace. one more thing, the shower was toooo small and little (and we aren't really big people). so if you are over 1.80 m, ask for a room with bigger shower!!

Amazing place with the private beach, not far from Castellammare. Quiet and cozy hotel. Poor breakfast during which the waiter is plaguing you.

Toll war die direkte Strandlage; der Blick in die Bucht von Castellamare del Golfo ist überwältigend und das Meer kristallklar und lagunengrün. Die Zimmer waren modern und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Parkplätze waren ausreichend vorhanden. Die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter ließ bis auf eine Ausnahme viele Wünsche offen. Eine email bez. Zimmerwunsch, die direkt während der Buchung geschickt wurde, wurde nicht beantwortet. Frühstück mit Meerblick war nur Stammgästen vorbehalten; Tische wurden zugewiesen... Ende September/Anfang Oktober war die Strandbar etc. bereits geschlossen und der Ort Alcamo Marina wirkte verlassen und ohne Flair.Es gab nur wenige Zimmer mit Balkon und Meerblick. Zimmer auf der Rückseite des Hotels hatten keinen Balkon, dafür blickte man auf die Bahnlinie und Hauptstraße. Für Gäste, die draußen sitzen wollten, gab es insgesamt nur 5 Tische, viel zu wenig! Angesichts der Tatsache, dass der Strand so herrlich weitläufig war, standen die hoteleigenen Liegen und Schirme sehr eng beieinander.

Sa situation : en bord de mer, vue magnifique entre mer et montagne ; personnel sympathique ; chambre propre. Le restaurant de l'hôtel : la cuisine est bonne mais quantité insuffisante à moins de dépenser plus.

Zeer mooie kamer, zeer proper, vriendelijk personeel, goed ontbijt. In november zeer doodse omgeving. Geen fietsenverhuur voor 1 dag. Dag van vertrek zeer vroeg ontbijt kunnen nemen maar helaas enkel koffie en een koekje. Locatie niet ideaal voor verblijf zonder auto.

Nydelig beliggenhet med strand og rent badevann rett utenfor. Det ligger noe isolert med få muligheter til shopping og uteliv men for den som søker roen er det bare fint. Man kan ta et charmerende tog til nabobyene og Palermo. Personalet var vennlige og maten på hotellet var bra. Vi bodde her 10 netter og kommer gjerne tilbake.

Viesnīca tik tiešām ir jūras krastā - no rīta izej pa durvīm un esi pludmalē, vakarā nekur tālu nav jāiet. Ļoti jauks restorāns un laipni viesmīļi. Patika gandrīz viss personāls. Ļoti labas brokastis. Apkārtne viesnīcai ir briesmīga. Baseins mazs - pie tā atpūsties nevar. Viesnīcā strādāja viens ļoti iedomīgs apkalpotājs. Numuriņā nestrādāja TV, plastmasas glāzītes neviens neatjaunoja, fēns bija vairāk skatam - pārāk jau mazjaudīs un dušā rokas pacelt nevarēja, lai izmazgātu matus. Skats pa logu ir labs tikai tad, ja gadās jūras pusē. Šķita esam samaksājuši daudz (relatīvi ņēmām to kā mūsu medusmēneša atpūtas galveno hoteli), bet tas ko saņēmām nebūt nebija mazā klusā paradīze nost no cilvēku acīm.

Очень удачное расположение отеля, прямо на берегу моря. Пляж отличный: песчаный, широкий, и море очень чистое. Идеальное место для отдыха с маленькими детьми, так как у берега неглубоко и вход в море без камней. Были в середине сентября, вода теплая и народу не так много. Без автомобиля здесь нечего делать, так как кроме пляжа ничего особо интересного поблизости нет. Неподалеку (в сторону Палермо) есть несколько неплохих реторанчиков, мимо не проедете. В Кастелламаре дель Гольфо тоже множество точек, где вкусно кормят. Вообще окрестности очень красивые, отдых хороший. Ресторан в отеле достаточно обычный, но обслуживание очень хорошее. В номерах без балконов негде сушить вещи. Одна штанга для полотенец в ванной и две под окном, где ничего толком не сохнет. Wifi чем дальше от ресепшена, тем хуже работает. У нас в угловом номере вообще не работал, приходилось спускаться вниз, что не очень удобно.

La situation les pieds dans l'eau : la plage est immédiatement disponible, bien équipée, et comme l'hotel n'est pas très grand, le confort est parfait. Le restaurant est vraiment très bien, cuisine italienne délicieuse. le ménage n'est pas trop fait, les chambres sont inégales, la clim fait du bruit et il n'y a rien aux alentours

Całkiem ładna plaża, darmowe leżaki i parasole na plaży. Bardzo niski i mały prysznic. Osoba powyżej 1.90 musi się schylać, nie dało się obrócić bo było tak mało miejsca. ( podobno w niektórych pokojach są wanny i jest trochę lepiej). Plastikowe kubki do śniadania. Na zadupiu nic nie ma dookoła. Brak balkonów w niektórych pokojach.
