Worth booking if you want a simple 3-star room within walking distance of Cefalù Cathedral for about €79 a night, roughly half the city median. Skip it if guest score matters most, since it ranks last of the 7 hotels we looked at.

Hotel Mediterraneo is our Budget pick in Cefalù. It suits couples, families and anyone who wants to see the old town on foot without paying the prices of the bigger hotels. Family rooms are listed, along with a restaurant, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Skip it if you want the best-reviewed stay in town. Its 8.0 is a fair score, but it sits at the bottom of the sample on review score. If you can spend more, our other two picks score clearly higher.
Location and getting around
The address is Via A. Gramsci 2. Guests rate the location 8.7 out of 10.
Walking times are straight-line estimates. The Abbey of Thelema is 0.8 km, about 10 minutes. Cefalù Cathedral is 0.9 km, about 11 minutes. Those are easy walks. The Sanctuary of Gibilmanna is 5.1 km, about 64 minutes on foot. That is far, so plan on public transport or a taxi for it. Parking is not listed in our data, so if you are driving, check where you can leave the car.
What guests say
The score is 8.0 out of 10 from 1,287 reviews, a large number of opinions. In the sample we checked, it ranks joint 7th of 7 eligible properties on review score.
Our data does not include a summary of specific praise or complaints for this hotel, so we cannot say what guests single out. Before you book, read a few recent reviews and look for comments on room size, noise, cleanliness and the restaurant.
Price and how it compares with our other Cefalù picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) was €79 per night, 49% below the sample median of €155. It is a reference price, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Victoria Palace Cefalù, our Best Value pick, was €155 per night with an 8.7 score and 4 stars. Villa Dei Melograni Boutique Hotel, our Luxury pick, was €205.10 per night with a 9.0 score and 5 stars. Victoria Palace costs about €76 more per night for a higher score and a fourth star. On a 2-night stay that is roughly €152 extra. If that money is better spent on food and trips, the Mediterraneo does the job.

Before you book
Check whether breakfast is in your rate, given how many options are listed. Ask about parking if you drive. Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed, so read the room description and the cancellation policy. Since no guest summary is available, recent reviews are your best source on how the rooms hold up.
