If you want fine decorations and first class service then look elsewhere.
If you want to stay in a historic palace whose grandeur still surprises you in the faded fresco ceilings and grand staircases, is located enviably close to Centrale Station, is right atop the famous Ballaro Market with is sights, smells, and sounds, is walkable to Palermo’s historic area, the Cathedral and the Theatre then this might just be for you.
The rooms appear to take up two floors on one wing of the palace and entrance is from a quiet part of Via Maqueda. It’s easy to miss the entrance but contact with the hotel was excellent.
Room was basic. But it was clean, the air conditioning was good and the facilities adequate. Breakfast was basic but again adequate and don’t miss the ceiling in the breakfast room!
For the price paid, I would absolutely recommend and would use again if we come to Palermo again… which we certainly would love to do.
