AMICI

Pros: Cheap price..... Good location at the entrance of the old city, free parking. Cons : Wi-Fi only in common area, coffee is disgusting, bed is saggy, Shower is tiny, room has seen better days, staff is not available.

I arrived in Aggrigento and first hotel I saw was Amici. A great name by the way. I entered, met english spoken receptionist (a rarity in italian hotels) and got the key. Hotel not a splendid one, but view from room is a killer ! Valley of the Temples in a distance, lit columns, and a mystery to discover waiting there for you. Hotel in just in centre so I went to wander in narrow streets, by chance saw a gig, eat and had a good night sleep. Relaxed and fed (not much for breakfast) went back in ancient times ....

I spent 3 days in Agrigento, mainly to visit the Valley of the Temples of course, but the extra time was to see the Archaeological museum, and wander around the town. My room was small but very comfortable. The breakfast is pretty basic, ideal for me as I don't eat much in the mornings. The coffee was ok, the fresh croissant and bread rolls were delicious. Free Wi-Fi is available, but only in the lobby. Location is excellent, as the hotel is over the road from the train station, about 10 or 15 minutes' walk from the bus station, and close to the stop for buses to the temples and the museum. It's also only a few minutes away from via Atenea, the main street through the town, which is worth exploring. There are many side streets, steep, almost vertical, but it's worth clambering about.
