The hotel was quiet in a nice part of town right outside the busy center (literally, so you walk right into it). Good location. The rooms were nice but very very bland and boring. No decor at all. And the shower, although nice water pressure and hand held w/rainshower, was a bit too small. Shower was too small for the large upgraded room I paid for. Breakfast was very good. 4.5 stars

This is a lovely hotel in a perfect location to explore Palermo. The airport bus drops you right at the front of the hotel and the view from the rooftop bar is second to none. The breakfast is also very good, offering a range of options, in addition to local fare. We also had a lovely view of the square from our room, which was quite large. Highly recommended 😎

Beautiful, small hotel in the nicest area of Palermo. Across the street from the Piazza Politeama with it commanding sculpture on view from our window. ( ask for a room with a view) Small but lovely roof top bar for apertivi, great breakfast.

You can’t beat the location. Close to public transportation and city Centre. My only knock against would be the double bed but then again we sleep on a king back home. The pillows were not comfortable either.
