Location great, lovely walk along the promenade to old town. Balcony with sea view and sunset view. Rooftop pool and sun beds. Excellent Spa if you wish to use, personally not my thing. Lift that was always working. Breakfast was good, warm food available on request. The owner was always around checking that everything was ok. Staff were so obliging and helpful, to name a few, Federico, Miriam, Giuseppe, both ladies on reception and the lady chef that cooked the omelettes, her name escapes me. The pianist on an evening was very good and created a relaxed atmosphere in the bar area. Hotel was 5 minute from supermarket and other shops and restaurant’s outside of the old town. Train station a 10-12 min walk from the hotel. Would recommend for 4 or 5 night stay.

Only a minor thing, but when age is not on your side it is difficult to carry a suitcase up the steps to reception from the roadside.

Immaculate with super stylish furniture, decor and design throughout. Rooftop terrace with amazing 360 degree views and infinity pool was outstanding. Staff were all exceptional , so welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay the best it could be especially Salvatore who was brilliant. Breakfast was good quality. On our last morning we left very early and they made us a little travel pack up to take with us and made us coffee before we left which was much appreciated. The pianist was delightful and gave a lovely ambiance. A quality hotel that we would encourage anyone to stay at. Peaceful with beaches opposite and a short walk to town and all attractions. For quality and cleanliness it was top notch. We were very sad to leave.

A few practical additions would have made it even better, drawers for clothes, more coat hangers (three times more was needed ) , a towel rail in the bathroom, bath robes and a music system for your iPhone. More plugs especially for phones by beds. Pool was very cold which limited our time in it. A few more egg options such as omelettes would have been nice.

The breakfast was very good; made-to-order omelets, a variety of Sicilian pastries, excellent coffee. The hotel appears very new, and everything is very well-appointed. Loved the live piano music from the lobby, that frequently permeated the evening air, with beautiful old standards. Close to the beaches, easily walkable to the historic old town, cathedrale, Rocca, restaurants. The hotel has underground car parking for a reasonable price; making it perfect for our Sicilian roadtrip. Staff was super helpful. Rooftop pool with awesome views is very memorable!

The rooms are small, but comfortable. The property serves breakfast and lunch, but no evening restaurant. However, there are numerous restaurants and bars a short, lovely walk away along the beautiful promenade to historic old town. The location of the hotel is more on the edge of the central part of the city, as opposed to the heart of old town, and has some local "color", including an occasional barking dog in the surrounding neighborhood.

The staff was very friendly and helped me book a cab for a very early morning departure to the train station. The hotel is a short walk from several beach clubs where you can rent chairs for around 20 Euros for the day. It's around a 20 minute walk to Old Town. The best part is the view from the rooftop pool of Old Town and La Rocca and as the name suggests, the sunsets from the hotel are beautiful. Comfortable rooms, plenty of communal space to enjoy drinks and watch the sunset and the pool area is great.

The hotel wasn't able to offer beach chair rentals until June 1 by order of the town. Not the hotel's fault by any means and you can walk about 10 minutes to beach clubs to rent chairs. But just a note in case you come at the end of May like I did.

Nice location and access to the beach. Easy to navigate with traveler needing walking assistance. Breakfast was wonderful. Shout out to Marta at the reception desk for assisting us with our stay. And to the evening waiter who managed every table.

This is not under the control of the hotel but one side of the hotel is adjacent to an trailer with an unkept yard and dogs that bark frequently.

We stayed for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed everything about the hotel. The roof top infinity pool had an amazing view of Cefalu and the beach and was very relaxing. Our rooms were very clean and modern and bathrooms well equipped with a powerful shower. All the staff were friendly. The location was perfect for us, close enough to walk 5 mins along the promenade to the town but far enough away to be peaceful. Breakfast included scrambled egg and bacon with hash browns and a selection of fresh rolls and pastries, fruit, juices and tea/coffee, cereals and ham and cheese.

Honestly, we would not hesitate to go back to Sunset hotel. A better one would be hard to find. If we had to pick anything that could be improved, it would be the temperature of the coffee in breakfast but that isn't a massive issue and certainly wouldn't stop us going back!

We stayed at Sunset Hotel in early November for six days (sea view, 2:nd floor, west: which is to recommend). Our price was 120 euro per night, which was cheap considering the great facalities. The hotel with staff was great, with a infinity pool on the roof. Big lounges, plenty of space inside and putside and a 10 min walk to the old town and the beach just outside the hotel (on the other side of the street). At this time of the year Cefalu is quite calm. During high season it may be much more crowded.

. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The room itself was lovely, with a fantastic view of the sunset, which I enjoyed every evening.

the hotel should clearly state that the holiday season ends at the end of August. This means that in September, you no longer have free access to the beach, which is just 100 meters from the hotel. I had to pay an additional €20 to visit the beach, which felt a bit inconvenient since it wasn’t advertised upfront. Another unexpected charge was the towel policy. You are given one beach towel, but if you want a fresh one for the following day, you have to pay an extra €5, which I found a bit unfair and should also be mentioned on their website.

The view from the room is like nothing I’ve ever experienced, the rolling waves and the view of the city are just spectacular! The shower had excellent water pressure and good temperature. It was too cold to try the jacuzzi, but it seemed to work well enough. The reception staff were very helpful for our requests even when there was limited supply (we asked for tea cups since there was a kettle in the room, and while they didn’t have anything ready they gave us the biggest cups they could find).

The only mirror is in the bathroom and it easily fogs up, so getting ready in the morning as a couple was a bit difficult. I’m still a bit puzzled by the kettle without tea cups, but again they did try to remediate. The breakfast buffet was a bit limited and ran out of bread 20 minutes before closing, but we were also off season, so ymmv.

Great location opposite beach and near to bars, restaurants and all the attractions of the old town all within easy walking distance. Hotel was very clean, decent size room an balcony, great roof top pool. Staff were generally very good.

Breakfast was fairly good but for the 4 days we there it felt like the staff were overwhelmed and service was a bit hit and miss depending who you were dealing with. We had dinner one night and although food was OK there was just one member of staff taking orders, serving food, clearing plates, getting drinks. I felt sorry for him - reminded me of Fawlty Towers
