This Hotel has great staff who are happy to help with things I forgot to pack, the phone charger ! and also did some printing for me free of charge, so reception gets a 5 star from me, I also had an early check in on this trip with no charge. For the price is great value, my last stay I paid 36 euro for a single room. The room was clean and pleasant. I have stayed before in not such a great room, but again for the location and price its a great find and I always now stay here when I am in Palermo. Breakfast is good selection of food. The reception team are a big asset to the hotel.

Excellent location basic tourist hotel
The hotel is located in an excellent location, occupying one floor of a taller building. It is basic, but clean. Breakfast included was better than expected by Italian standards. The staff were very helpful with researching bus routes and calling taxis as needed. I would stay again.

The shower was falling apart and couldn’t close the door so the room filled with water. The staff were friendly and the place was very clean. Everything looked like it needed a good handyman. Really good breakfast. We were 2 people and they put us in a room for 4 people. We couldn’t move

Very good hotel for the price!
Very good hotel. I paid $60/night for 5 nights. Comfortable bed, strong A/C, hot water. Centrally located. Prestia e Comande airport bus drops off in front. Hotel is on floors 3 & 4 with an elevator. Friendly staff but limited English. Only issue was the Wi-Fi didn’t reach my 4th floor room.

Very central! Personal is friendly! The rooms are a disaster. Dirty with mold and roaches and ants. A day before we left they asked us to pay additional taxes. By law the taxes were 24,- Euros for me and my daughter, they asked for 88,- Euros. I refused to pay. At arrival the asked for 32,- Euros in taxes which I payed. Mh. Not a place to return to.

Not clean but bearable
We had a really good time in Palermo, the hotel is very well located in the city centre. We booked a standard double room.The room was not clean, there was lots of dust and our bathroom had a very large patch of black mould in the corner above the shower, we complained but no one came to clean it. The safe had no batteries in it and we couldn't use it. In general the room was more hostel styled, the double bed was two singles beds pushed together and the mattresses were different thicknesses and firmness so it wasnt a very comfortable sleep for a couple, there was also a set of metal bunk beds in the corner that felt strange. All in all it was cheap and well located, you could probably survive one night in it for a city base, you won't want to spend much time there.
Breakfast was ok, coffee was nice and it was nice to have a 24/7 reception.

Ok hotel in mid center
Simple hotel in mid center of Palermo. Close to «everything», 15 min walk from the train station. Could be better kept, cleaning OK, except for plastic cup in the bathroom that was used as a garbahe bin by former guests.

My room smelled terrible. Like a combi of sewage and mold.The showers leak and make entire bathroom floor wet. After one night i requested a room change and the lady at desk was very helpful. She took me to a new room and it also smelled awful. She agreed. Another room she offered smelled like people had recently smoked in it. The third room smelled fine so i took it. That shower also leaked and the bed was very hard and uncomfortable. The location is great but would not recommend this place. Very overpriced.

Definitely a no frills hotel. On the same floor as the front desk, bar and restaurant so you hear everything that is going on in the room all day and night. Breakfast has very little things of interest accept sugary items!

Booked a room with a double bed. Got there and we had four beds in the room which took up all the space. Reception told is they had a bigger group before so the room stayed that way and they could not offer us the room we booked. Room smelled very badly, window could not be closed. Don‘t let them fool you with the nice balcony on the picture, ours was absolutely not the same. Do not go there.

Seriously, do not stay here. This is the worst hotel I have ever booked. I was unable to sleep during the night because the walls are SO thin and other guests were at the reception desk complaining about the cleanliness of their rooms after discovering bugs in the middle of the night. I had optimistically presumed that previous Expedia reviews about the staff’s unfriendliness would just be a cultural difference but I witnessed the receptionist yell at people in entrance foyer in the most unhinged and scary manner which ultimately motivated my decision to leave early because I felt so unsafe.

This property should have a 1 star rating not 3. All the other 3 star properties I have stayed at here have been spectacular. In fact after just seeing the place with the dark hallway I decided to find somewhere else to stay which I did.

This place is a hostel not a hotel. We booked 2 double bed rooms. There 7 beds in each room.
The pictures were photoshopped. We contacted Expedia but they were no help. We went to another beautiful hotel for less money. We have to call our credit card company when we get back.
