The room was clean and spacious. There are a few mini markets nearby. It is a 15-20 minutes walk to the center. The plus for this hotel is the free parking for the car.

Breakfast was perfect, so many tasty options, fresh and delicious. Pastries were one of the best we ever had. Nothing to complain about.

“Not worth letting it spoil your holiday, but certainly enough to leave a disappointing impression.”
What did I enjoy? Palermo itself. The city was beautiful, welcoming, vibrant, and full of charm.

“Good location, great secure parking, a nice place to stay.”
The underground parking is great, especially so close to the centre. Nice hotel, nice room and bathroom, the terrace with my top floor room was huge and had great views. Breakfast was a nice selection, and the staff always very helpful.

“Overall good value with exceptional staff.”
You get what you pay for in terms of the accomodation. However, it's all offset by the staff who were exceptionally friendly and couldn't do enough for you - from late night coffees to sorting taxis.

Parking for the car was great although bit tight to get in and out. Breakfast like in rest of the Sycylii was mainly served sweet with heaps of sugar so after two weeks of travelling I developed withdrawls for simple piece of toast on a normal bread and not the sweet bun. Room and bathroom were fine.

Nice Hotel outside of town center (~20 minutes from cathedral). Spacious room with big bed, but very small bath. Super friedly and helpful staff. Good parking option in basement. Breakfast ok.

Value for money hotel near the centre of Palermo. Big rooms but all a bit dated. Good option for a night or two for undemanding guests.
