Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience - the rooms were lovely with a view over the local piazza and a balcony, featuring modern furniture, but there were some drawbacks. The service was top-notch, delivering a great experience, although the price could be more competitive. The location was superb, nestled in a lively neighborhood by Marina and within easy reach of all the interesting sights of Palermo. The dining offered local organic products, although it did not fully impress. The facilities were convenient and adequate, making for a pleasant stay overall.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms offer a lovely view over the local piazza, featured modern furniture, and even had a balcony, which was a nice touch. The service was exceptional, with room service available and a helpful bell staff/porter. The location was perfect, situated in central Palermo with many attractions within walking distance. The dining experience, especially the hamburgers, was delightful. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of Palermo, making it convenient to explore the city's attractions. The rooms offer modern furniture with a view over the local piazza and a lovely balcony, providing a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, with attention to detail and a range of convenient amenities. However, the dining experience was average, lacking variety in homemade products. Overall, a great choice for its location and room quality.
