    comfortable beds
    good location
    inadequate facilities

    Clean room, a decent size with comfortable beds. Location is about a 15-minute walk from Quattro Canti, making it handy for sightseeing. Housekeeping did a great job keeping everything tidy. Breakfast had a variety of pastries and surprisingly included hard-boiled eggs. no kettle in the room for making warm drinks, which made nighttime feeds tricky. The shower leaked and flooded the bathroom every time we used it, and when I reported it, they only offered extra towels. Not ideal for families with infants, especially since there were no high chairs available during breakfast. good hotel but definitely needs to step up with their facilities for families.

    secure parking
    indifferent staff
    inconvenient luggage transport

    Secure underground parking was a real convenience.

    My experience was marred by a lack of basic hospitality. The reception staff seemed indifferent, as they left us standing outside in the cold for a while without any acknowledgment. I was disheartened to find that after waiting 15 minutes for the elevator, we ended up carrying our luggage up the stairs to the reception, which was incredibly inconvenient.

    The secured underground parking is a great perk, especially in a bustling city with chaotic drivers. The hotel's proximity to the city center makes it accessible for those who want to explore the area on foot, even if the walk isn't through the prettiest neighborhoods.

    Noise levels at night are a real issue. some rooms suffer from sounds such as snoring neighbors, which can keep you tossing and turning. The breakfast options leave a lot to be desired, with many guests noting a limited selection and quality that doesn't reflect local cuisine. the old furniture and room maintenance problems, like leaking showers that flood the bathroom, detract from the experience. The elevator can also be a nuisance, often occupied by cleaning staff, leading to long waits and making luggage transport a hassle. It also lacks high chairs or amenities for families, which makes it less ideal for those traveling with small children.

    cramped breakfast area

    The hotel provides good value for

    Money, with clean and spacious rooms. I appreciated the friendly staff and their helpful tips for exploring Palermo. the breakfast area felt cramped during peak hours. it was a solid base for our adventures in the city.

    good housekeeping

    Just a prime choice for a brief hiatus in Palermo with decent value for money. The housekeeping was really good, keeping everything tidy during our stay. Make sure to ask for a kettle if you need one. they don’t have any available on the premises.

    spacious room
    clean room
    secured parking

    The room was spacious and clean, offering a comfortable stay after exploring the vibrant streets of Palermo. The location was fantastic, just a 20-minute walk from the city center where all the action is, enabling us to mix with the youthful night owls until late. Plus, the secured underground parking was a lifesaver in a city with wild drivers!

    I enjoyed my four-night stay, especially the spacious room with a nice balcony and the fantastic breakfast with fresh fruit. the toiletries could be of better quality.
