Murmann

Lovely hotel in a quiet area, clean, nice rooms, excellent mattress, relaxing stay for a stopover on a trip to Sicily Professional and kind staff

We chose the Murmann hotel after seeing it advertised on social media and for its location, not far from the small center of Fiumicello or its beach. Before check-in and after check-out, they offered us coffee, a very appreciated gesture. Our standard room had a balcony (slightly needing a review in terms of cleanliness and furnishings) from which we could admire the Christ the Redeemer statue. The breakfast was perfect (although I would have preferred local jams instead of those produced in Emilia Romagna) and perhaps some typical sweets like mini bocconotti. The lady at breakfast was super kind. Very nice and well-kept pool; great to have the option to rent towels. The room was clean and quite comfortable but not 4 stars due to some imperfections. Let's start with the bathroom: the fixtures needed a refresh (loose sink, tiny shower, products replenished only once, rusted towel cart, cleanliness was mediocre). The worst flaw, unfortunately, was the bed which we first found without a mattress cover but especially made up of two mattresses, something I have never seen in a 4-star hotel! In reality, they were not just two adjacent mattresses but two bed frames that inevitably separated with the slightest movement. And even though I requested a mattress cover, it was only added later. One day, returning from the beach, we helped the reception staff (super kind during that shift, the others a bit less) to fix the blown fuse for the hot water in a room on our floor that had caused flooding (from the second floor down to the ground floor) which was also extending into our room, damming the water with towels. It was our duty to help, as well as a necessity to avoid being flooded. It would have been nice for the management to offer a small discount or the possibility of a late check-out, which is definitely too early (10 AM). Convenient parking along the road. In summary: we would return but paying a significantly lower rate for a standard room.

Great hotel! Exceptional à la carte breakfast! Available and very kind staff! Useful beach shuttle service with Ape
