    Located so close to ballarò market that it can be noisy at moments.

    Large rooms, simple furniture but practical. Ideal location when arriving by train/bus, half way between stations and touristic center. Very nice and helpful staff. Fun place to stay, as the hotel is located in a renovated aisle of an old palace.

    I do not recommend for families with children, the street from which you enter the hotel is full of strange people, homeless people and there is a mess. They often yelled at us and in the evening I would be afraid to go here alone as a girl, it was fine like a couple. In the hotel, you can hear a lot from the street and the surroundings can scare some of you. It wasn't such a big problem for us - just for info.

    The hotel exuded a historical atmosphere to me, it might frighten some, but I liked the hotel's premises and its inner courtyard. The room was a bit to a busier street, but it met everything we needed for a short stay. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable. Wifi worked perfectly fast. The private bathroom was just three doors away, it wasn't a problem for us. The breakfast was great and Chiara is very nice and helpful person. The hotel is within walking distance to the center to the most beautiful sights.

    The bathroom was across a hall. The hotel appeared to be an old clinic or hospital.

    The location was great; the courtyard and entry, atmospheric.

    The entrance is not very visible and it took me a while to work out the intercom. My room had some street noise.

    Set on the first floor of a stunning Palazzo. The rooms are simple but the shower was hot and the air conditioning worked. The location is very central - close to Ballaro market. Good to have breakfast included.

    I would have loved to have a sign in the room to signal that i dont need a room refresh every day.

    Entering the building through the Gates really was a surprise. The building itself is beautiful, the ceiling in the breakfast room was stunning. My room was very basic but clean. Everything in order. The Hotel is very central. Just 2min by foot from the central Station and located right in the heart of the City. The perfect location to explore the city by foot. Breakfast was also quite good with lots of options.

    It's not really a hotel as such, reception isn't 'manned' very often and breakfast was left in the room the day of check in

    Location was very convenient to train station and sights and the entrance courtyard is a real taste of old Palermo

    Difficult to find - very small sign on door. Neighbourhood is a bit dirty and it was noisy at night. Although the breakfast looked lovely, my croissant was stale.

    Convenient location near the station, shops and tourist areas. Friendly, helpful staff. Spectacular entrance courtyard and breakfast room. Comfortable bed, large modern room with balcony and spotlessly clean bathroom. Loved the quirky charm of the building with its marble staircase and painted ceiling.

    Great location. Right near the Ballaro market which is a crazy,mad, fun market and well worth seeing and Via Maqeda , the street the B&B is on, is a fantastic shopping strip. It leads you straight down to Quatro Canti where there is 3 other great streets for shopping/ restaurant/ bars, and plenty to do. The room was a good size. The bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean. There wasn’t a hairdryer unfortunately. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. There isn’t a lift but if you go upstairs they will get a young man to help you with your luggage. We gave him a tip as it’s a huge staircase! They also very kindly booked a cab for us when leaving. Breakfast was great, with some savoury options. Sausage in a roll, ham in a small roll as well as yoghurt, fruit, sweet rolls etc.

    The hotel is located it what once must have been a very opulent building. However today, it is not in the nicest areas of palermo - but on the up side it is not a long walk away from the more tourist friendly areas. The staff were all very pleasant and helped us to find a parking spot. The breakfast was fine.
