This is a great hotel, with good and nice staff, great breakfast, the room was unbeatable, it is very close to the royal palace and the main attractions of Palermo. Nonetheless, the area (2 blocks around the hotel), is dirty and not too nice. Other than that, it is a great hotel.

Gentilissimi in reception. Ci hanno assegnato subito la camera praticamente al nostro arrivo anticipando quindi la fascia oraria. Hall spaziosa e profumata. Parcheggio sotterraneo un po’ da rivedere e più scelta da aggiungere alla colazione. Alla fine non posso che complimentarmi per la gentile accoglienza ed ospitalità. Lo consigliamo a tutti i turisti perché rimarrete soddisfatti. Grazie ancora!

Hotel confortevole nei pressi del centro di Palerm

Ottimo hotel nelle vicinanze del centro, offre parcheggio coperto gratuito (molto sicuro), camere confortevoli, letto comodo. Avevo camera ultimo piano con accesso alla grande terrazza, ottimo! Unica pecca, il box doccia è molto molto piccolo nonostante il bagno sia di dimensioni buone, inoltre dotata di colonna doccia con soffione e doccetta che occupa ancora più spazio. Un semplice soffione sarebbe sufficiente, ancor meglio mettere un piatto doccia leggermente più grande. Nel complesso un'ottima soluzione per visitare PAlermo.
