We arrived in Palermo at night. Being unsure of where we needed to go, we followed our map app until we found the site. We were confused, tired, and I'm sorry to say a bit grumpy. We didn't understand (or remember) this hotel was inside a structure built in the 1300's. I apologized for my rudeness upon first arriving (and after a good night's sleep). This hotel was very good. I recommend it to travelers providing they understand it isn't a Hilton; it's a historical building in a city thousands of years old. It is close to the train station and several beautiful churches and good food!

You can hardly call it a hotel. I would say it’s a low level hostel. There is one attendant that does everything, reception, breakfast, cleaning, etc. you can stay by the door and ring for 15 min before someone opens the soor

This hotel was a perfect Sicilian treat, architecture, was amazing a 750 year old home, turned into a small hotel and private apartments. We arrived by cab after a very long flight at 22:00 , we thought we were in the wrong place, neighborhood was a bit scary, a tiny sign no lights, and we didn’t know how to open the door, luckily i had the hotel # were buzzed in,the owner was very nice, when the door was opened , it was magical, it opened to a court yard with cars and a grand staircase went up 50 steps, to hotel entrance, the owner helped us with our luggage, this guys gets a work out , the room was very clean, nothing special ikea bed and mattress , so many things to bang your head on in the room, but the room looked into the amazing courtyard, it was quite because it was not on the street. , but very noisy in morning, other guest doors slammed breakfast being prepared ect, but we wanted to get up any way so no problem, the breakfast was served in a beautiful room with a 750 year old mural painted on the ceiling, very special , breakfast was local sweets ,juice and an amazing cappuccino , small sandwiches, which was perfect, i don’t eat breakfast normally. the room was very small and i wish we could have had access to this beautiful room which had a small balcony and view of one of the streets that went to the market, but we were only allowed in for breakfast. That was a bummer it would’ve been nice to have a place to sit and watch Palermo go by.

Once we were able to find the property it was good but it was difficult to find, we arrived at night and the area was a little sketchy. We were lead to believe parking was available and it wasn’t close. However, the hotel was located in a unique building, room had a balcony overlooking the old town streets and breakfast room and food was amazing. My recommendation is arrive during the day, the area feels completely different then and don’t drive in Palermo if you can avoid it.

I paid $67 for the cheapest available room. Room was clean. The exterior door to the balcony has no weather or soundproofing. It sounds like you are right outside next to the traffic (all night). I would look for another property in a similar price range next time due to the sound. But this hotel and in a good location

the area this property is in is extremely dirty and trash absolutely everywhere. I have been busy travelling and did not realize I needed to contact the property about when I am arriving as the front desk was supposed to still be open mid day. I could not get into the property, luckily people coming in let me in with them, or else I would have been stuck outside in the middle of the day as no one was there. When I arrived, no one seemed to be at the hotel, but I saw a paper on the desk with my name and room number, and the room was open so I went in. Maybe 30min later my door flung open when I was in bed. I thought maybe someone accidentally came in, but it seemed to be the manager?? And all he said was I need to give him my documents for check in, I didn’t even know who this person was. It was so unprofessional AND unsafe? He didn’t knock or introduce himself and could have opened the room while I was changing. There was also hairs on the bed and the bathroom was not connected to our room even though some photos show they are connected. The only redeeming quality was that the breakfast was good, but we were not offered coffee once even though others seemed to have coffee made for them. Also, the next morning someone barged into our room once again without knocking.

Just ok. The rooms were in a newer building of the hotel next door. Not as roomy as the original hotel building so the breakfast area is quite cramped and no common space at all in the new building. Rooms nice and modern though. Great location.

Very helpful, we arrived before check-in and we able to change and leave our luggage which the put in our room when it was free. Messaged us to let us know when the room was avaliable and we we able to leave bags on our last day as we had a late flight. Breakfast was lots of pastries. Would stay again.

This was the most amazing hotel experience - from behind the entrance to the street it was like entering another world - a palatial old worldly mansion. The new hotel tucked up inside was perfectly clean . We had a 4 bed room with massive amount of space, high ceilings , bathroom , aircon & spotlessly clean . The staff were so welcoming & friendly & breakfast was ideal. Unfortunately I can’t give 5 stars as the neighbourhood felt very unsafe - and travelling with kids it was quite daunting. Would have felt quite fearful if we couldn’t get through the main gate quickly. For adults looking for a slice of the majestic old world Palermo it would be fine. Very convenient to Quattro Canti … 7mins - straight road.

Great stay!
This hotel was great. The room was clean, had everything I needed (and not to be American about it but the aircoditioning in my room worked great).. The staff were very welcoming and understanding, especially when there was a very serious screw up on my part regarding my reservation dates. I liked the location since it was super convenient to be near the central train station; the farthest I had to go to get anywhere was to get the bus that goes to Monreale. Getting to and from Cefal and the airport was easy. I took two busses to get to Mondello but the stop to start the journey was just around the corner. If you don’t mind walking a normal vacation amount, you are near the Palermo highlights. The old palazzo is handsome, and there’s a beautiful trompe l’œil just hanging out in the breakfast area. If you need a pristine neighborhood, this is not quite your place but I felt perfectly safe (I was reminded by a shop owner to watch my bag once) Breakfast is standard but good (and again, very warmly staffed). If you’re a solo traveler, I definitely recommend this spot for quality of accommodations, quality of staff, and location.
