What we loved about this property was Bartolo. He was unfailingly helpful, kind and knowledgeable. He made our stay better.

8/10

Great spot. Once you get inside, you’re greeted by an impressive early modern courtyard, with a set of stairs that are in themselves inspiring. As far as the hotel itself goes, a mere floor of a much grander building, everything is modern and efficient. The breakfast was typical Italian fare, with coffee, juice, fruit, and an excellent selection of pastries and jams. While a bit of a trek from the port, the hotel is a mere fall away from the train station, connecting you to the rest of Italy and Europe. If there were a downside, it’s a bit anonymous, with no central lounge or place for staff and travellers to interact.

Beautiful hotel. Front desk was very kind and helpful. Everything was clean, felt safe, great location and would absolutely stay here again.

The hotel is located in an old Palazzo, there are stairs to go up to access the entrance, the hotel itself is very bland and feels like a museum, the rooms are very basic and a little old. The street noise can be quite loud but does get quiet between midnight and 5 am. You can hear everything from your room including other guests. Staff are very nice and accommodating, breakfast is basic but good, location seems a little rough around the edges but it is actually quite well situated and we felt safe the entire time we were there. If you can deal with lack of sleep and basic amenities this hotel is perfect for your stay in Palermo.

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

Considering a budget hotel centrally located in Palermo Hotel Ballaro is a very good choice.

Room was basic but clean, bed was comfy. No room service or food service other than breakfast, no flexibility around earlier breakfast times as food is brought in. A safe place to sleep rather than a hotel. Staff very friendly.

Great hotel for the price. Breakfast is good, very italian with many sweets. Very close to transportation all around palermo and Sicily if you want to explore more than the city. Room on the outside can be noicy due to ballaro market but nothing too crazy.

The property is indeed unique- a very modern and nicely fitted out hotel, hidden away in a crumbling atmospheric palazzo. My bed was comfortable, my water hot, my sockets all working. It fely very safe, breakfast was nice, the staff excptional. Very close to the station, but on a main street in the old city. Only disadvantage: no lift. So for people who can't do stairs, it's ill advised. I loved the hotel and would certainly choose it again.

Front desk staff is limited. Make sure you read the special conditions before arrival. Owner/caretaker was very nice. Looks from outside can be deceiving. Very good for the price. Would recommend if you’re on a budget.

Excellent location, an easy walk from the train station and the best historical monuments. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the building has historic charm. Breakfast is a great bonus, with yogurt and fruit in addition to the usual patties. Highly recommended as great value for money.
