Boutique B&B Vintage

8/10 Good

"The location was very good in proximity to the city center. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was good. As commonly found, no elevator."

B&B Hotel Palermo Quattro Canti

10/10 Excellent

"The B&B is brilliantly located at Quattro Canti, the central crossroads in the heart of Palermo. The close up view from the terrace of several church domes is superb. The property would benefit from even a small amount of upgrading. It is rather utilitarian and reminiscent of student hostel accommodation. In our room, one of the metal legs of the bed had ground a noticeable hole in the linoleum flooring. It degrades the overall impression. There is a lack of management in the terrace restaurant at breakfast. On different days, the umbrellas were not raised, there were no plates, cutlery had run out, the eggs and sausages were stone cold every day etc. Certain food items need replenishing etc. There didn’t seem to be anyone managing the overall guest offering. This is a shame, as the terrace is superb. We would stay again, because if the location and terrace, but would gladly see more efforts to upgrade the property."

Ambasciatori Hotel

8/10 Good

"The terrace at the hotel offers a superb view across Palermo towards the mountains in one direction and the sea in the other. Our room was clean and functional, but rather small and gloomy. With two indentations to make room (presumably) for the addition of bathrooms, the room was not spacious. There was no attempt at decor and the sombre plain walls were rather downbeat. The location on Via Roma is very good for central Palermo and the Centrale railway station. Dinner on the terrace was charming. Breakfast was standard fare, but the view made up for any slight dullness in the food offering. The staff throughout were polite and helpful. We would stay there again."

NH Collection Palermo Palazzo Sitano

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, rude staff! The hotel is beautiful and brand new and very central. The rooms are lovely and the amenities and breakfast are truly phenomenal. The only problem was the rude staff… We paid the city tax upon arriving and at check out the man at the front desk quite literally yelled at us that we had not paid it and had to pay again. Then after a long back and forth he confirmed it was paid. Then he ordered us a car saying it would be one price and when we arrived at the destination, it was double. The staff is ridiculous… unfortunate because the hotel itself is truly amazing and the restaurant staff was really lovely!"

Eurostars Centrale Palace

10/10 Excellent

"This is an old world hotel that does not disappoint in its style and uniqueness. The location is right in the heart of historic Palermo with all the sights within 15 minutes walk in any direction. The breakfast is amazing. The rooftop restaurant is a charming and quiet with a wonderful city panorama with mountain surrounding all around and great for sunsets. The terrace bar is quiet and private with a charming waiter who will remember you. This is a spot for travelers who enjoy an old world experience with charm. If you want to be overlay pampered and think you deserve fantastic luxury - then stay away. You’ll just complain and I don’t want the staff to have to deal with you."

Cassaro 261

10/10 Excellent

"Very centrally located in historical district. I was able to walk to all recommended sights. Lots of interesting restaurants, very vibrant area. My room was located at the front of the building on a very busy street but I was not disturbed by any noise from the street. I highly recommend this location. I am a senior lady travelling alone and felt very safe in this area."
