Located in a 91th century building - but completely renovated. Has an elevator. Cute rooms.
Modern bathrooms. Good breakfast. Nice decorations.
Is in the new part of town - so cathedral is 1.5 Km away, which with busy sidewalks is 30 minutes walk.
Parking is in a garage 5 minutes walk away 25Euro/day.

Palazzo Achates was perfect for us! It is in the center of old town on a quiet street and has been fully renovated with a beautiful modern minimalist design. I booked the last room available which, was described as small, but it was actually quite roomy and lovely. The owner answered all requests promptly and was wonderfully welcoming! He made us feel assured that the keycard entry to the hotel itself would work smoothly at any hour of the night, and it did. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This property is an oasis of quiet in a noisy city. The private garden is beautifully landscaped with a small swimming pool. Our room and bathroom were surprisingly large, with high ceilings. The air conditioning worked perfectly. Staff is helpful and friendly. We will definitely come back to this hotel!

Highly recommend the property. We had a nice and large modern room with a/c and heat. Kettle and tea.
10 minutes to train station Centrale, where you can also take the airport shuttle and buses to everywhere.
Breakfast on rooftop with spectacular views. Everything touristic easily walkable, restaurants galore.
The only issue for some people would be that you have to walk up to the third floor, no elevator in the old palazzo.
Staff is very friendly and accommodating. We were not disappointed...

An amazing place to stay in Palermo. The jacuzzi in the bedroom was a huge plus. Safe area. Near breakfast spots, shopping areas, and local transportation. Hosts were very nice and gave us recommendations for places to eat. Would book again!

The location was great. We took the airport bus to one of the main plazas I walked to our hotel about five minutes away. You have to go through a small entry and asked the man parking the cars for entry to the elevator of the hotel. It is located in the courtyard just off the main street it is very clean and must have just been remodeled. The owner is very knowledgeable and will try to save you money on your tourist desires. Of course the breakfast was very good and seem to emphasize Sicilian...

Palazzo del Poeta is spectacular! After a very challenging drive into town (so many missed turns and one-way micro alleys!), we were feeling a bit shell-shocked at our first time in bustling Palermo. The Palazzo is a sophisticated, quiet, almost glamorous oasis that we really needed after exploring this amazing but sometimes overwhelming city. The staff was very helpful and the accommodations were fabulous. We would absolutely stay again. One suggestion: be sure to check in with staff...

Il Giardino di Ballarò is a small boutique hotel located right in the center of the old, historic part of Palermo not more than a 10 min walk from most of the sights. It is a very cozy and modern accommodation, and has a lot of character. We felt very welcomed as soon as we walked in - the staff is very welcoming and friendly, offered us refreshments and then provided us with a lot of useful sightseeing and dinning tips. Nice breakfast that you can have inside or in the outdoor private garden....

The property is gorgeous and the building is very well maintained. The seaview to the harbor and ocean is serene. There is no noise from the marina or harbor. Staff was very attentive. The rooms were not missing anything. They were generously outfitted with robes, pool sandals, pool bag etc. we had a very memorable stay.
