Top Palermo Historical Center Hotel Reviews

B&B Hotel Palermo Quattro Canti

8/10 Good

"The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the room was spacious and well decorated. Great bathroom and a balcony over looking the Fontana Pretoria. Only downside for us was the position of our room was on the first floor closed to the ground outside where it was very loud throughout the whole night. Heavy sleepers would be fine, light would not. Didn't dampen the hotel at all, though."

La Terrazza Sul Centro

10/10 Excellent

"When we arrived just as check was closing Emiliano waited for us and gave us a lot of information about the area and where to go etc. breakfast was a great selection of a continental buffet and was laid out by a very cheerful lady , I forgot to ask her name and it is served on the roof terrace with a beautiful view of a lovely part of Palermo. The room we had was modern and nice and was great for all our needs. Thanks Emiliano for your help and for the cleaner and the cheerful lady who did the breakfast, we had a wonderful week in Palermo Grazie mille"

Grand Hotel Piazza Borsa

10/10 Excellent

"If you are looking for old-world charm, this fabulous hotel has it in spades. This is every bit a 5 star hotel. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and the staff is impeccable. Attention to detail is the rule. Breakfast was fabulous and the lobby is a wonderful place to relax and have a drink after a night out. At first the neighborhood seemed a bit on the gritty side, but that seems to be much less of an issue after we got the hang of things and were more comfortable. We think this hotel is awesome."

Porta di Castro Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Delightful hotel, well positioned, extremely helpful friendly staff, room very funky (moped on the ceiling), my only gripe was how long the hot water took to come through the shower, there were times when I could read another chapter of my book before finally being able to step into the shower"

Quintocanto Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"The hotel was pleasant enough. Charming old building, decent room, very nice courtyard for breakfast and dinner. One complaint, we booked a taxi from the airport to the hotel through the hotel. When our flight was delayed and we missed our connection we messaged the hotel well in advance to let them know we would be arriving later in the day. Several hours later we received a message saying we would be charged for 75 euro and they would charge another 75 euro to meet us later that day. It then took multiple calls to eliminate the charge and arrange the revised pickup. The only explanation I can come up with is that they don't check the messages and so can't update the driver. But the fact that they attempted to charge us shows either contempt for their customers or complete ignorance. I would suggest just grabbing a cab at the airport when you arrive. All in all it was okay but would't stay there again."
