We had a great stay! The hotel was very well-kept and spotless throughout our visit. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It’s also conveniently located in the central area — just a short walk to shops, restaurants, and local attractions. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort and convenience.

We loved this place - excellent value on the edge of the old town; most main sites in walking distance but not right in the middle of it all. Comfortable modern well furnished room (though pillows a little hard) with balcony and city view. Rooftop restaurant was special and worth a visit. Breakfast reasonable and plentiful. Staff very helpful.

Very nice & comfortable stay. Excellent location to stay in Palermo. Easy walking distance to the old town. We had a balcony with a view of the Piazza Garibaldi so a lovely place to sit out on & enjoy the view. Excellent restaurant with a fabulous on the rooftop, but quite small & therefore busy so definitely need to book.

Great breakfast choices with wide variety for all tastes. Rooms were older but clean and such a perfect location in Palermo. Had a room on the ninth floor and whilst the view was amazing the trade off was the noise from the rooftop restaurant (whose food was wonderful) as they dragged tables and chairs around at all hours. Def stay at this hotel but on a lower floor. Staff were terrific!

Short, wonderful stay in a clean and spacious room. Loved the location overlooking a cool plaza, and pretty good shopping/restaurants within a 7 minute walk. Expensive designer stuff really very close if that is desirable to you. Breakfast was extra but great variety with healthy options avaliable and good coffee.

This hotel has an incredible rooftop bar with views of the city. It’s also very centrally located near all the major attractions. Less than a 10 minute walk to the Massimo Theater. However, the room was very basic, beds were still, pillows were hard. If they updated the rooms this hotel would be 5/5

We stayed for 4 nights at the end of August into the beginning of September. The location of the hotel is perfect and during our time in Palermo, we kept saying that we couldn't imagine staying anywhere else in the city. Both Via Roma and Via Maqueda are right by the hotel and offer tons of shopping, dining, and sight-seeing options. We tended to prefer Via Maqueda, but both will take you to the central station within a 25-30 minute walk. The hotel is also within a short walking distance of bus stops that can take you all around the city. Also, right by the hotel is probably the best sandwich shop in all of Palermo (A’ Putìa), which we definitely considered to be a major perk of its location. The hotel's rooftop bar offers a cool view of the city, but the view from our room's balcony was perhaps even better! The hotel staff were lovely and even let us check out an hour later than the hotel's official time for free. If you are planning a stay in Palermo, we couldn't recommend this hotel enough!

I love this hotel— great location where you are literally on the edge of the city center and where locals live and shop. We had a car so the hotel offered valet parking for our ease of mind - there is not really parking in front of the hotel available or nearby otherwise. It ended up being 23€ per night, not bad. The hotel has a rooftop bar which is beautiful and definitely worth a dinner and/or drinks night cap. It overlooks the lively piazza in front of the teatro. The rooms are quite spacious, clean, and accommodating. I definitely recommend this for a family, friends, or solo travelers looking for a modern stay with our creature comforts.

The reception staff were polite and helpful. We were upgraded and had a room with a terrace and a great view of the city. The room was clean with tea, coffee and nice toiletries. The area felt safe, particularly as there were parts of the city that didn’t feel very safe. Restaurants close by and walking distance of the main attractions.
