Room of Andrea is a charming boutique guesthouse located in the heart of Trapani, Sicily. Housed within a beautifully restored historical building, it offers a glimpse into the city’s architectural past while providing modern, cozy comforts. The property is known for its intimate feel, perfectly capturing the spirit of traditional Sicilian hospitality in a quiet yet central setting.
The design of the guesthouse leans into classic Mediterranean aesthetics, featuring exposed stone walls and carefully selected furnishings that honor the building’s heritage. One of the most interesting aspects of staying here is the personal touch; the property is often highlighted for its thoughtful layout, which manages to feel like a private home rather than a large, impersonal hotel.
Its location is a major draw for travelers. Situated just steps from the historic centre, guests can easily wander through the narrow, winding streets of Trapani to find local trattorias and artisan shops. The nearby ferry port is also a significant advantage, serving as the primary gateway for day trips to the breathtaking Egadi Islands, including Favignana and Levanzo.
For those interested in history, the famous Chiesa del Purgatorio—home to the mysterious and historic “Misteri di Trapani” statues—is within easy walking distance. Whether you are using it as a base to visit the nearby salt pans or as a jumping-off point for exploring the western coast of Sicily, this guesthouse provides a peaceful, authentic sanctuary right in the middle of the action.
Expert reviews
“Graceful Palazzo Platamone, with neoclassical caramel-coloured facade dating to the 1900s, is the grandiose setting for the Sicilian debut of Spanish urban hotel group, Room Mate. Andrea is predictably stylish, with the city’s only rooftop pool. Beautifully decorated, vintage-chic rooms mix original neoclassical fittings and fixtures with modern comforts.”
“A 19th-century palazzo is now home to this hotel opposite a public garden in central Trapani, which provides pampering accommodation in swish surroundings. The imposing arched entrance opens onto a peaceful courtyard where breakfast is served, while, inside the building, antiques, chandeliers, and decorated ceilings emphasize its historic character.”

Comfortable big room in a great location.
Our room was massive - we were so happy when we checked in. The hotel is within walking distance of lots of shops, bars & restaurants and some nice beaches. The pool was small but quiet, sometimes there was a barman and sometimes there wasnt but we got drinks from the shop below the hotel to take to the pool when the bar was closed. Great selection at breakfast. The room was nice and quiet with a small balcony overlooking the courtyard.
Aircon wasnt great.

Very nice hotel with good breakfast
Big clean room. Nice to be able to order your preferred coffee for breakfast
The restaurant connected with the hotel was very juniorlly staffed and the dishes came out without the expected vegetables or add ons( like lemon to a fritto misto) the grilled octopus and fritto misto itself were very good though, the staff were unable to handle the fish of the day. Heaps of bones left and the presented dish looked like hospital food for someone with stomach issues

First holiday of the year
The staff and location were outstanding
The bed in our room was like sleeping on a concrete block
Unfortunately due to this we didn't get much sleep

Classy hotel with excellent location.
Lovely room with high ceilings. We had a partial sea view. Large shower. Quiet despite being on a busy street. Easy to park at adjacent lot.
Would like homemade bakery options at breakfast as seem mass produced.

Beautiful hotel in a perfect location
The location was perfect - close to shops, restaurants and the beach. The staff were amazing - from Diego at check in, Arianna at the front reception and Lisbet at breakfast. The rooms were beautiful with plenty of space. Such a beautiful hotel and building.
The retro fit of the bathrooms in the rooms can be problematic with noise - especially if your neighbours like to have showers and discussions in the middle of the night!

Nice and very convenient for a small stay in Trapani
The ancient building was beautiful, the room was exceptionally large with height ceilings and a small view over the sea. It was walking distance from the historic part of Trapani and the harbour, which was important for us as we took the ferry to Favignana the next day.
The room was dark and the window was small overlooking the car park of the post office.

Value for money hotel , well managed in good location.
We liked everything about the hotel. The reception staff were very efficient. They organised a pick up when we arrived and most of our trips before we left for the airport. The room was modern and spacious and within walking distance of everything we needed.

Comfortable, clean base for exploring Trapani.
The room was comfortable and clean. The hotel itself was lovely, in a converted former villa, with a good breakfast spread and friendly and helpful staff. In terms of location, it is just east of old town Trapani, and is about as far into town as I would want to stay with a car, but is still walking distance to most things one would want to see. (The hotel does not have parking but you can park on the street or in the city lot that is a block away; it was easy to pay for parking with the aptly named EasyPark app rather than struggling with the machines.)
Nothing sticks out as bad.

Good room in restored building near old centre
Mid November we have slept two nights in a superior twin room 215. A very large room with high ceilings. Also a large bathroom with rain shower. The whole building is nicely restored. In a part of the building are very nice historic rooms and we have seen classic corridors, very nice. Breakfast was more than sufficient, even in November with few guests. Parking is, as more travellers mention, no problem on a large parking lot for 0,70 € per hour from 8.00 until 20.00 hours (in spring, summer: 1€ per hour until midnight). But: only coins! Near the hotel are sufficient restaurants. As we had a room facing a side street we had not much traffic sound even with open window in the bathroom. With windows closed and airco on, street noise will be sufficiently reduced even on other sides of the hotel with more traffic.
Although it was mid-November, our room was rather warm. We discovered after some time how the digital temperature control works. We suggest to give good information about the use of it in the room.
