Very centrally located hotel in Palermo. Nice spacious room with marble bathroom at a very affordable rate. Friendly staff. Valet parking service was very apreciated. The hotel is an excelllent base from which to explore central Palermo, just don't expect it to be a luxury hotel. We were happy with our stay.

The hotel is well located in a quiet street near Via Roma the main street of Palermo. There are shopping and dining places nearby. The exterior of the hotel is dull on old, but inside it is classic elegant with lots of brown wood furniture and leather sofas. The room is big and clean and with dignified atmosphere. The bed...

We stayed at this hotel for ten nights. It is situated almost ten minutes walk from the airport shuttle-bus stop. Which saved us a more expensive taxi fare. When they were there the reception staff were helpful. The hotel decor is olde worlde but well suited. Our room was large with ample wardrobe space and a room safe. However the... More

Located centrally in Palermo, this hotel ensures that you can reach almost every hot spot within walking distance. The rooms are large and have a classic decor, but would need a makeover soon. One of the walls in our bathroom had a water problem and needs painting, but I didn't take any pictures as my positive overall impression was better... More

Despite being well located and super inviting for the outside, the hotel its not really 5 stars! The hotel is not bad but also not what it suggests. The rooms are old, median beds ... nothing special!!! Do not worth the price!!!

Driving in Palermo is a stressful experience so we were pleased when we arrived that the porter took the car away and parked it. The hotel was clean professional and everything worked. Breakfast was OK and the room was very comfortable. WiFi worked in the room and it was a good base for exploration as one could walk to sites... More

I recently stayed in this hotel with my partner and have to immediately say that it was a very pleasant and relaxing stay. We stayed two nights, the first night we flew into Palermo and the last night before we flew home. To get to the hotel from Statione Centrale which we were advised to go to when we arrived... More

With 50 euros per night for 3 nights, we weren't hoping for much just that it would be clean and safe. This was above our expectations and we were happy with our decision. We arrived early off the ferry and had requested an early check in but couldn't because the hotel was fully booked the night before. Anyhow they offered... More

Stayed here while our one week stay in Palermo this summer. The location on the hotel is perfect, short walking distance to main shopping streets and restaurants. The staff was friendly, and almost all of them spoke ok english. The breakfast was ok, but the same every day. On the plus side, you will get whatever kind of coffee you... More
