Very Good

Great location in Palermo, central to all sights, shops and restaurants. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Room clean and spacious. Continental breakfast adequate (I'm a vegetarian.) Would definitely recommend and return to this hotel.
Great small hotel very close to the city center of Palermo situated in a quiet street. Nice room and very good italian breakfast with excellent coffee. Friendy staff
The staff were very accommodating and nice. The hotel is kept clean and they will give you anything that you ask for, as needed. (Just ask) A lot of construction going on in the area, it can make getting anywhere a little difficult, but you can navigate it with a little practice. Breakfast was good with a few choices that seem to follow Italian custom. It's charming inside and everyone is nice.
Breakfast food Fresh. Clean Room. Air Condition not needed or used. Staff Nice & good. Like the location.
In the Old Town and walked to most everything about 6-7 miles a day. Not Luxury but would recommend it.
Excellent and great value hotel right in the centre of Palermo. Very good staff. I had a comfortable single room with ensuite bathroom with a good shower. Amazingly quiet for the centre of the city. Good breakfast.
The best part was the help and friendliness of the front desk staff. In particular Guiseppe was extremely nice and courteous. He provided all the information and answered all my questions promptly. My only difficulty was that I could not get picked up in front of the hotel since the road was not available for all cars. The breakfast buffet was very well done. I would definitely go back again.
Simple, clean hotel in a great location; all the major sites and transportation are within walking distance. The staff were very welcoming and kind. Good wifi and decent breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel is basic but rooms are clean, bed comfortable and the staff generally helpful. The breakfast is very poor indeed and leaves a lot to be desired - but this is not a problem given the price. You cannot expect 5 star luxury for the price of a 2 star. Also the hotel does not have a lift so not suitable for anybody with mobility issues.
The building is quite old, with beautiful architecture and some quality antique bedroom furniture. There is no lift, but no problem! I am not the fittest person and this was noticed so my suitcase was carried up to the room - by a very polite young man called Marco who should go far in the hospitality trade. A very quiet location, even though it is only a stone's throw from Via Maqueda, one of the busiest streets in Palermo's historic centre. All in all, a great find - well done Expedia.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I liked the stay mostly because of the staff and the breakfast. My room was pretty old and not in that good of a condition. It wasn’t that clean. However, the people were nice and the surrounding area was great too.
The room was clean, basic but comfortable . The staff was kind, helpful and responsive The location is perfect for exploring the historic center of Palermo.
