I stayed here for 5 days in total with a break in the middle. The hostal was fantastic. Very clean with plenty of space. No bunk beds so you don't feel like a battery hen. The bathrooms were always spotless. The staff were so friendly even cooking us dinner one evening. And they brought us out some times to go... More

I was in a female dorm with another woman, and in the middle of the night, around 2 am, someone was trying to unlock our door. It was a man I had never seen before, which was very unnerving. He then asked to put someone in the extra bed in our room. I refused unless it was a woman, because... More

We stayed in the private room, which was in the other building. It was huge, and very safe. We had a bedroom with a big comfy bed, a private terrace and a huge bathroom. Excellent value for what we payed. Great service, they recommended a restaurant for us.

I stayed here for 4 days and never had any problem of any kind. The place was very clean and quite close to the city center. The people working there were very friendly, always offering you food or drinks, was quite good! Overall, I would definitely recommend this place!

Casa di Amici was wonderful. The hostel was one of the cleanest ones I have ever experienced, and as a budget airline traveller I LOVED the free towels! The staff was friendly, and the hostel was well located. I also really liked how each bed had its own little light, and unlike many hostels I've been in the rooms were... More

I had just three nights in Palermo. Casa di amici was like home, it was clean and a great location. The room was lovely and staff were very friendly and helpful during my stay. All are comfortably equipped, if you need anything, you just need to ask. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Palermo.
