I am not sure who photo-shopped the photos for this property. This hotel needs to state that it is a budget hotel. The description should make it clear that you do not have a bathroom in your room. The bathroom is located across the hallway of our room and makes that difficult to use. The bathroom is private and is yours that you have a key for to use.
It was also very difficult to get in contact with anyone to get us onto the property. This property felt more like staying in a hostil and not the type of hotel I would chose to stay.
The property was clean and the staff were pleasant.

Interesting location in a crumbling old palazzo. The entrance is a bit intimidating but the hotel inside is basic but fine. Friendly and good location. Cooking smells were a bit strong, and breakfast was very basic, but overall a good experience.

Simple but clean accommodation in a central location close to bus and train stations. Amazing entry courtyard snd ceiling fresco in the breakfast room, as the building was originally a prince's palace...

The hotel's exterior is unassuming, with not much clear signage, but the inside courtyard is nice. The rooms were large and clean, and the external separate bathroom was nicely appointed. For a budget stay, I definitely recommend.

Very basic but clean and safe and comfortable without frills. Staff was friendly, breakfast was a nice bonus and the cool old royal palace was definitely interesting. Location is easy, perhaps be cautious at night but otherwise didn’t feel unsafe.

Quirky little hotel in what appears to be an historic residential apartment building. Clean and quite modern rooms with shower and wc. Nice breakfast and plenty of tea and coffee, served in an amazing room with a ceiling akin to the Cistene Chapel!
Located within easy walking distance of the Cathedral, the Royal Palace and the marina. Amazing street market nearby.
Great service; we were late into Palermo and didn't arrive until ten minutes after reception 'closed', but big shout out to Arif who kept in touch via WhatsApp and waited for us to arrive.

I loved every single moment. It was authentic, beautiful beyond belief and more than a value for the price. The staff was very helpful giving me clear instructions every step of the way; from the arrival at Palermo airport and where to catch the transfer to finding the hotel, even shouting my name from the balcony as the premises are ‘hidden’ from the main street therefore safe and secluded. You feel like you are staying in a beautiful palazzo not in a low key hotel and that’s truly priceless.

It was in a great location.
Found finding the hotel in the dark difficult, as the sign for the hotel was small.
