Good for short stays!

The location is great, just steps away from the Quattro Canti, and the place was just as in the pictures. It’s just very basic so I think is okay for short stays.

We only spent one night here but the place was stylish and peaceful, despite being literally in the centre of the city’s busiest area. The room was small but we expected this, and overall very clean and well appointed but the floor was quite dirty. Bed was comfy but a couple of extra pillows would have been good as they were very thin so my partner had to use towels underneath his! Location is great and Alessandro was very helpful. However I would not recommend driving there! Parking is available under ground for €20 per stay but to get there you have to drive through the busiest road in the city, full of tourists and food stalls. Horribly stressful. The car park is tight so they park it for you, and the cars are all one behind the other so they keep the key and you have to ask for your car when you want it. We had to leave at 07.30am for the airport so this was a concern although it was actually very efficient with we called, and someone helped us get the car immediately. We were concerned about it being scratched by someone other than us driving it, from an insurance perspective so had we known this would be the case we would not have stayed here with a car. Overall though, it was pleasant and very quiet so we had a good nights sleep. Air con was great.

Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und top in die Wohnung eingewiesen. Später gab es viele Tips und Links für die Umgebung per Wattsap. Das Zimmer wurde täglich gereinigt und check in und Check out war unkompliziert.

Room was clean and modern, the bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve had in a hotel. The staff were really nice and even able to check me in when I turned up to drop my luggage just after 11am. The property is right in the middle of where you want to be in Palermo. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Meget centralt men ringe stand

Super placering i Palermo. Meget basale værelser men generelt ok og fik aircondition Og helt perfekt hvis du vil bo i centrum! Men minuser er der også. Der er elendig lydisolering så du kan følge festen i gaden hele aftenen. Gardiner er dårlige og kan ikke lukkes helt til - og de skærmer ikke for lyset fra gadelampen lige udenfor - så værelserne er meget lyse også om natten. Og altanen kunne ikke bruge da dørene på vores to værelser ikke virkede.

Room was tidy and similar to photos. Location was excellent, by Palermo’s busiest pedestrian street. While this made the view from the balcony great, it was extremely noisy. The noise made it very difficult to get a good night’s sleep. The shower cabinet was also insulated pretty poorly so the whole bathroom floor was flooded with water after a shower.

Tanto potenziale ma tanti limiti

Una struttura molto basic, con tanto potenziale ma che soffre di diversi limiti. In particolare non serve più la colazione e l'ho scoperto solo al check-in, diversamente da quanto indicato in fase di prenotazione. Camere poco o nulla insonorizzate e in diverse occasioni senza disponibilità di acqua calda sanitaria.

Walking distance to historic center of Palermo

The place was a little difficult to find and once we made it in, it took a bit to get guided up to our room and given the keys. However they kindly allowed us to check in a little bit earlier and were able to give us instructions and a map, even making the suggestion to visit the Ballaro Market first, as it would close soon. Perfect for one night, just 1-2 people though, would not recommend more than 2. We even had a little balcony which was nice. Walking distance from everything you would want to check out in Palermo. We really appreciated the host's assistance with setting us up with a car service to the airport as we had a very early flight the next morning. That was one of the biggest highlights for us as it eased our worries about getting a taxi so early the next morning.
