"Just go to single room was nice and tidy comfortable, but you had to fill the jug in the bathroom sink. Base channels on TV couldn’t cast my phone to the TV to watch Netflix or anything. Apart from that really nice and polite place was tidy and clean. I’d stay there again."

Not much to do especially after 5pm

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Palmie has come on leaps and bounds over the last 5 years or so, great coffee and eateries, good craft beer scene, excellent arts/culture and plenty to do. Worth a visit!

1/5 - Terrible

Avoid at all costs. Parmy has a well deserved reputation as a drunk student crap hole and that’s what it is. Woke up at 0330hrs by four very drunk idiots bashing our windows and door trying to get into our room. My 8yr old was in tears petrified.
