Authentic Palermo
At first, I didn't like the location but, then I realized that this is Palermo. Crowded, loud, disorganized and beautiful at the same time. We had a nice view from the balcony and the area is safe. It was fun to watch locals, their everyday life. Yes, laundry was hanging everywhere and Sicilians are kind of loud. It is not an area where you can see many tourists. The hotel was clean and the staff very helpful. Decent breakfast, nice bathrooms. I couldn't ask for more but, I would rather stay somewhere a little closer to the old town. FYI, there is no parking but, you can park for 8 euros a day in a garage 3 min from the hotel. We got lucky one day and found a parking spot right by the hotel but, don't count on it.

Basic, but fine
Had a very brief stay here; less than twelve hours. The bedroom was basic but clean, as was the bathroom. Our room was on the third floor; WiFi was pretty much non-existent. Breakfast was very sparse. However the service was excellent; we checked in very late and the lovely man who checked us in was full of recommendations about the neighbourhood and about Palermo in general. This B&B was well-located; very close to the railway station. Not luxurious by any means but fine for our purposes, really.

Wonderful Place, Great Deal.
The staff in this hotel are warm, friendly, and welcoming. The hotel was comfortable and clean. Large room for a solo traveler. Excellent deal! Only downside was like many hotels in Italy, it was a little difficult to find.

average service
Clean and nice room but no lift (uncomfortable for luggages). Services and location average (reception not 24h open). Breakfast good but experienced a misunderstanding about gluten-free meal request. I would still recommend.

The right hotel in the wrong place
A very good hotel but in the wrong location, the district is dodgy, difficult car access and no parking unless at a cost of 8 euros per day. It is not far walking to the interesting parts of the city but the first 15 minutes of walk to get out of the dodgy part is not nice. It is a shame because the staff is most helpful and nice.

More Hotel than B&B
Great place. We just stayed one night arriving late from the port and leaving early to get to the airport but it was a great place to stay. The people were very friendly although no English speakers so it may be a little difficult if you don't understand some basic Italian. The room was big and clean and had air conditioning and an en suite. It didn't affect us because of our short stay but there was no view from the room- it just looked into a central space with the air con units. I think some of the upper rooms had views but because of our large bags they asked if we preferred a room on the 1st floor. The breakfast was great with a huge selection of fruit, cakes, bread and juice plus fresh coffee. We used the B&B's airport transfer service in the morning and were driven door to door for a set rate which took the stress out of getting to the airport.

Alla ricerca dell' ospitalità e della cortesia.
Non bello... bisogna elemosinare la colazione con brioche imbustata. Palermo patria di tante leccornie...? Per non parlare della poca quasi Assente "cortesia". Sconsigliamo a giovani girovaghi come noi.

Il B&B era vicino alla stazione dei treni e sei pullman e in centro. Posizione ottima. Il personale era molto cortese e gentile. Biancheria ed asciugamani puliti, unica pecca motivo per cui non do il max la nostra camera aveva il water che perdeva acqua, per il resto nulla da obiettare lo consiglio vivamente per la posizione e per la simpatia del personale

Super séjour !
Agréable séjour en famille. L'hôtel est situé près de la gare centrale, il est propre le ménage est fait chaque jour, déco rustique et sobre, personnel sympathique et serviable. La chambre était spacieuse bien entretenu avec climatisation incluse, télé, et armoire de rangement (il aurait été pratique d'avoir des cintres), salle de bain privé propre avec équipement (douche, WC, bidet, lavabo, sèche-cheveux, savons et gel douche en cadeau modèle invité, serviettes changées sur demande). Le lit double aurait besoin d'un nouveau matelas et oreilles, sinon les lits simples sont impeccables. Le petit déjeuner est copieux mais plutôt similaire chaque jour. L'hôtel est situé dans le vieux Palerme, près des lieux historiques faciles d'accès à pieds, lorsque l'on veut découvrir la ville c'est idéal. Les richesses architecturales de Palerme sont incroyables et très nombreuses. La ville est pittoresque et très intéressante. Le quartier pourrait paraître mal fréquenté car beaucoup d' "extracomunitari" comme ils disent là-bas, mais les siciliens rassurent, je n'ai eu aucun problème et j'étais avec mes 3 enfants. Un magasin Carrefour se situe non loin de l'hôtel très pratique. Un restaurant à ne pas manquer près de la gare centrale "Chez Enzo" la meilleur pizzeria de Palerme, accueil chaleureux, prix incroyables (maximum 10€), portion généreuse, produits frais et délicieux. En bref, super séjour à refaire!!!

SUFFICIENTE
Posizionato nei pressi della stazione centrale in una stradina secondaria. L'impatto non è dei migliori: case fatiscenti, musica napoletana ad alto volume e sporcizia per strada. L'hotel non è male ma le condizioni superano di poco la sufficienza, soprattutto per via della scarsa pulizia delle camere. Colazione discreta.
