the staff was very helpful and the lobby/restaurant area nice but the rooms could have been nicer. Liked that there was no noise from streets but it was a bit out of the way compared to where we needed to walk to see other historical areas. Bus stop close by to get you across town or to the train station.

The location is great and there is a bus stop just over the road from the property (we got the bus from San Vito Lo Capo and the bus to Palermo Airport) which was useful. We checked in slightly early as our room was available. However, there were hairs on the bed and the bathroom was dirty. We changed rooms which was cleaner but the rooms themselves are not great. They are very average with not much to them. For a 1 night stay it was okay but we would not return.

Convenient location - close enough to all the landmarks and shopping however a few blocks away form the big crowds although noisy of an evening. Very challenging to extract information of any value from the reception including at check in… Hotel clean. Breakfast limited however OK. Gym very small and limited however adequate for a workout.
