Rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable. Close to shopping and restaurants. It’s a pretty small hotel so there was not a lot of noise, very quiet.

The hotel staff met all our needs. The walk to the street market was a treat. Be wary of the horse rides agree to a price before hand and have the precise money ready before the trip starts.

Excellent Stay

Very enjoyable stay. The location was good, walking distance to restaurants and the historic centre. The service in the hotel was excellent, staff made taxi & restaurant reservations very simple. We would go back and recommend to others.

Good location, we were able to walk to central areas and to restaurants. Room was clean and functional but very small/tight bathroom.

Clean and comfortable

Clean comfortable room bit dated needs freshening up, housekeeping needs to replenish coffee and tea as a bare minimum. Good location to all the bars, restaurants and historic centre

The room was super clean , they do not provide iron in the room and rooms are not sound proofed so all night the pipes and other room’s conversation was heard.
Niloofar, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our room was clean and comfortable, though not fancy at all. Breakfast was a nice buffet, included in the room fee. The location was convenient, as we could walk to everything we wanted to see. The staff were helpful with recommendations to restaurants and such. The exterior of the building is rather drab, without clear signage indicating that it is indeed the hotel, and buildings across and on the street are covered in graffiti, so the first impression of the hotel is not good. It looks like a bad neighborhood. But it turned out to be fine….much of Palermo looks this way, with litter and graffiti, which is really sad.
Linda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed here for three weeks. The staff upgraded my room to one with a balcony, which is great to have-- but both rooms were very nice. The beds are very comfortable, though I do wish they had black-out curtains. The staff was very helpful in assisting me in finding services I needed to fully enjoy my stay in Palermo. The housekeeping staff was diligent and friendly, greatly enjoyed them. I don't usually eat breakfast at hotels, but I did here. The buffet was simple but had something for everyone: eggs, meat, some lovely sweet treats, and great coffee. Even though it was a buffet, the server was always present and happy to get whatever you wanted. The location is quiet--but very, very close to the historic center. I enjoyed the short walk, and i also enjoyed the proximity to more 'local ' cafés, etc. I would be happy to stay here again.

Se vuoi sognare devi allogiare!

Struttura bella, ordinata, pulita. Spazi piccoli ma ben sfruttati con stile ed eleganza. Personale top; sempre disponibili e con la risposta pronta. Una colazione eccezionale. Prodotti freschi e ricercati. Un alternativa tra il dolce e il salato che non ho trovato neanche in strutture più grandi. L'unica nota negativa è la wi fi. Purtroppo la ricezione la trovi solo nella hall, mentre nelle camere è molto debole. Grazie, ritornerò volentieri.

Good hotel

This hotel is about 20 minutes walk from the historic centre. We arrived late and I was concerned about parking but even though they only had 4 spaces - we managed to get one. The reception staff gave us lots of info and a map of where up go etc. No Hotel bar and no garden or nice view from room but good breakfast and lovely staff.

Formidable

Nous avons adoré notre séjour ! Le personnel est formidable, les chambres spacieuses, literie parfaite, et propreté irréprochable. Le petit-déjeuner est le meilleur de nos 15 jours en Sicile. Je recommande vivement.
LUDIVINE, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Disappointed

I was very disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The room itself was okay, but nothing special, and the breakfast was also quite underwhelming. What truly ruined the experience, however, was the staff. They were unfriendly, and at one point, a staff member even threatened to call the police on me simply because I wanted to have a guest over. To make matters worse, this person mocked me by saying that this was not a hotel “for having boom boom,” which was both humiliating and completely unprofessional. I’ve never experienced such treatment at any hotel before, and both I and my guest were left feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable. The only positive aspect I can mention is the location – the hotel is in a quiet area with a convenient setting. Unfortunately, apart from that, I cannot find much good to say.

Excellent! Meilleur que je m’attendais. Récemment rénové avec goût. On m’a bien accueilli et la madame a même pris le temps de bien m’expliquer la carte de Palerme et où aller. Je reviendrai.

Nice Boutique Hoetl

Lovely boutique type hotel, nice staff, good location.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A good location for exploring the large city of Palermo with its uniquely different quarters. The hotel is in a quiet district and 10-15 min walk to the central area around the cathedral and there are good dining options within 10 minutes walk. The staff were courteous and helpful and even allowed us to check into our rooms 2 hours early. Rooms were simple but clean, spacious and had very comfortable beds and pillows. There is a comfortable lounge to relax in if you are tired after a days exploration but the fitness room is small and only accommodates 2 people maximum. All in all a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. Thank you to the wonderful and hardworking staff.
