The room did not have windows only skylights. Did not use the hairdryer in bathroom as the outside coating was missing in places and the wires were exposed. It was in a good location near to 2 parks and near the centre of the city.

We stayed for four nights in the Hilton Excelsior. The hotel is located 10 minutes from Politeama, a short stroll up the beautiful shopping district of Via Liberta. The hotel rooms are quite spacious with seperate shower and bath. The room has a very nice luxurious feel, plenty of wardrode space and good lighting -we couldn't really have asked for... More

Had to make a last minute reservation to stay here so I didn't know much about it other than what I quickly read on Trip Advisor. This is an historic hotel acquired by Hilton. If you are picky about hotels that are worn around the edges, don't stay here. That said, the rooms are big for Europe and the bathrooms... More

Some of the prior reviews from this hotel have had some concerns, particularly about cleanliness and maintenance, so from my experience I would have to say that this place must have changed a lot, because this was the nicest hotel in which we stayed during our 13-day, 6 hotel tour of Sicily (7 hotels in Italy if we count the...

Nice hotel good location, rooms were of a good standard and similar to Hiltons around the world. Dinner in the restaraunt/bar not fantastic by any means. Breakfast superb as it should be at 15 euro extra per person.

Luxury and quality at its best. Fillipo is your gracious host and the staff is great. Great location and old world charm. Great value and right on libertad which is the finest street in Palermo. Staying for 5 nights and I wish longer. Don't miss this one. Le volte restaurant close by.

The hotel is in a very good location of Palermo. The exterior of the building is very nice. However, as soon as you enter the lobby you notice that the hotel needs a renovation. The carpets in the rooms are dirty, although we got an upgrade to a better room. The restaurant was a special disaster. We went there for... More

Very friendly staff and most of them knew English very well. They were extremely helpful with dinner out recommendations and many other questions we had. Everyone in the hotel was very nice.
