Hotel Carmine Reviews

very authentic and friendly hotel

The shower in the standard room is so small. My back won't fit through it, at 1.90m it's the limit, the showerhead is at the entrance. So we were allowed to change for free, as it was off season. Great breakfast with lots of delicious sweets

L’hotel Carmine si trova in centro a Marsala: splendida struttura dal calore siciliano, ottimo servizio, e Fantastica colazione. Sono stata veramente bene e tornerò senz’altro.

Nos pareció un hotel muy bien equipado y ubicado en el centro de Marsala. Estaba ubicado en un antiguo convento y estaba decorado en estilo clásico... precioso. Un desayuno muy variado y el café buenísimo. Un saludo

Tutti molto cordiali e disponibili. Soggiorno davvero gradevole.

A lovely hotel. Great location in the old town. The rooms were small but adequate. Had a lovely view out over a garden area. We didn't have breakfast, so I can't comment, but the restaurant area looked inviting. I really recommend this hotel.

We spent three nights here. The hotel is old-style with no kettles in the rooms and breakfast not included. But the breakfast is amazing, a variety of sweet and savoury (an amazing chocolate torte), and there is a lovely veranda for a cup of tea overlooking the garden. We had a problem with our room on the first night which was sorted out really quickly and easily. Great central location with parking outside, would recommend.

This hotel was well-located near the centre of Marsala, and the rooms were very comfortable – however, the real highlight of this hotel was both the quality of the food, and the quality of the dining room service. Our sole dinner was managed by a peripatetic dining room manager who never missed a detail, and was both knowledgeable about the menu and wine list, but he ensured that rather than our group be treated like an annoyance, he went out of his way to provide outstanding service. I think this was due to the ‘small group’ nature of our fellow travellers, which were easily accommodated.

We found this to be an exceptionally pleasant hotel, in all respects. It is situated in a quiet corner with n a piazza in the historic center of Marsala, a beautiful, old building elevated with great taste to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are cozy; the bathrooms are clean; the beds are comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast room and bar are elegant and the food at the breakfast buffet was fresh, varied and ample. Thank you Hotel Carmine!

The Carmine is an outstanding example of a properly renovated historic hotel. It was once a monastery and it is beautifully restored. The linens are top grade, the bar is first class and the staff are friendly and helpful. We had a good sized room for Italian standards. The hotel is located in a historic area full of restaurants and shops yet in a quiet corner that provides you with a good night’s sleep.

Stayed 3 nights. Very well reconverted convent into a hotel, very nice design. Walking distance to everywhere in town. Comfortable and clean room. They tend to do the rooms late in the day though. Good breakfast in an inside room. The bar has an outside space in the old cloisters. Atmospheric common spaces.

We were here for 2 nights arranged by our tour operator, Esplora Travel. Unfortunately, I and two other people in our group contracted Covid. We had no option but to keep to our rooms, which are incredibly compact, albeit attractively decorated. The staff were pretty harsh with me, knowing I had Covid. They tried to deliver a meal from the restaurant the rest of the group were dining in, at 10pm, and were pretty insistent on my taking the tray (I didn't) despite the fact that I was unwell, it was much too late, and there was nowhere to put it in the room. Quite disappointed.

Beautifully situated small hotel in the centre of Marsala old town. Friendly staff, beautiful building and garden. The breakfast was amazing and so nice to sit in the garden in the evening and drink a glass of Marsala wine. Very close to a wide assortment of restaurants.

impressive ground floor lobby and bar area in a very interesting building. Breakfast area and breakfast was very nice too. Delicious small glass of Marsala on arrival. Great location. Unfortunately it was difficult to believe the rooms were operated by the same organization. Very basic small rooms with dysfunctional air-conditioning running hot when set as low as possible on a warm but not hot night. Thread bare towels with holes, bottom sheet too small to tuck in, only three flat pillows for two people. Very basic amenities including a very small shower. Reception couldn’t speak English so hung up on us and didn’t call back or visit our room to follow up when we called to request another pillow. Such a shame as most of this can be very easily fixed.
