Quirky little hotel in what appears to be an historic residential apartment building. Clean and quite modern rooms with shower and wc. Nice breakfast and plenty of tea and coffee, served in an amazing room with a ceiling akin to the Cistene Chapel! Located within easy walking distance of the Cathedral, the Royal Palace and the marina. Amazing street market nearby. Great service; we were late into Palermo and didn't arrive until ten minutes after reception 'closed', but big shout out to Arif who kept in touch via WhatsApp and waited for us to arrive.

The hotel's exterior is unassuming, with not much clear signage, but the inside courtyard is nice. The rooms were large and clean, and the external separate bathroom was nicely appointed. For a budget stay, I definitely recommend.

Very basic but clean and safe and comfortable without frills. Staff was friendly, breakfast was a nice bonus and the cool old royal palace was definitely interesting. Location is easy, perhaps be cautious at night but otherwise didn’t feel unsafe.

Once inside it’s quite decent and good value for money. A grand old building with very comfortable, well air conditioned and clean rooms. Checkin is a let down, I even emailed ahead to ask for Checkin details and no response. There is a locked door at the street entrance with security code and if no one at front desk you get stranded outside. Could be easily fixed by providing the code on day of Checkin. Aldo be aware there is no staff onsite at night. Besides that it’s great value.

Hotel Ballaro is gorgeous; walking up the grand staircase into the hotel area almost feels like you could be a background character in Romeo and Juliet. Unfortunately, our room wasn't ready on our arrival, despite having sent our flight information ahead of time, and we were missed receiving the instructions on how to actually enter the building once we found it, but once that was sorted out, we had a lovely stay.

This bed and breakfast is in a super interesting old building. Please know that there is no lift and you have to carry your bags up the stairs. Also know that there isn’t always staff on site. There is a nice breakfast area with limited options including yogurt, fruit, and pastries. The staff is available to make you coffees or tea. The other odd thing was with the booking. I tried to reserve 3 triple rooms each with 2 people. I didn’t notice that the booking showed 1 person in one room, 2 people in one room, and 3 people in the other room. We all got different sized rooms at different prices. So just double check your reservation with the hotel before you arrive. Make sure they know when you are coming so they will be there to let you in. The hot water in our faucet didn’t really work and the shower is just a hand held one that wouldn’t stay up on the pole. You can ask for a hair dryer if you need one, we didn’t realize this until we were leaving. It is in a great location which made some of these annoyances minor. The staff were helpful and the hotel was kept very clean.

Great spot. Once you get inside, you’re greeted by an impressive early modern courtyard, with a set of stairs that are in themselves inspiring. As far as the hotel itself goes, a mere floor of a much grander building, everything is modern and efficient. The breakfast was typical Italian fare, with coffee, juice, fruit, and an excellent selection of pastries and jams. While a bit of a trek from the port, the hotel is a mere fall away from the train station, connecting you to the rest of Italy and Europe. If there were a downside, it’s a bit anonymous, with no central lounge or place for staff and travellers to interact.

The hotel is located in an old Palazzo, there are stairs to go up to access the entrance, the hotel itself is very bland and feels like a museum, the rooms are very basic and a little old. The street noise can be quite loud but does get quiet between midnight and 5 am. You can hear everything from your room including other guests. Staff are very nice and accommodating, breakfast is basic but good, location seems a little rough around the edges but it is actually quite well situated and we felt safe the entire time we were there. If you can deal with lack of sleep and basic amenities this hotel is perfect for your stay in Palermo.
