It was right in the historic center of Palermo - we couldn't have asked for a better location. When the train strike prevented us from leaving, they were very helpful and found us a room for an additional night.

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.

The location of the property was excellent. Right in the middle of all the main site seeing and restaurants.
Our room was a little tired. The mattress had seen better days and the room could use some updating. It was very clean.

Hotel was in a very good location, walkable, staff was accommodating and helpful. We liked our view of the street and the busyness of it all. We wish there was another mirror in the room the only one was in the bathroom, hard when 2 women were getting ready.

Francesca, our host, was very friendly and accommodating. The room was lovely, comfortable, and the location was exceptional… within walking distance to many sites. For an additional €20/day, we took advantage of valet parking. We would definitely stay here again!

Staff, accommodation and cleanliness were superb. The location was convenient to the historic center. If you are driving your own vehicle, as we did, the restrictions for pedestrian traffic make it difficult to navigate your car. The staff was very helpful in guiding us. Valet parking. No breakfast available, but a cafe across the street.

Very convenient location in a high pedestrian activity area so we heard people out having fun. This is a unit in a suite of units within an apartment building. It feels like a small hotel room that opens into a common area with several tables & chairs, a refrigerator, microwave, supplies to make coffee & tea. We liked the firm bed, good water pressure in the shower, and our own small terrace.

Francesca was very responsive to my questions. I stayed in a suite so had a living room which was so lovely. Lots of restaurants nearby. It can be a bit noisy with street music down the road but I enjoyed that.

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.

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.

It is not a hotel, more like a bed/ no breakfast, you are staying in an apartment set up in a mix apartment building. The apartment is share with a couple of rooms. The “living room” when you enter is quite stuffy and didn’t smell great. Room itself is fine, basic but clean.
Even tho it does have a garage in the basement but I would not recommend to drive there, or they should have better direction. The area is pedestrian! Very hard to get to the street. Taxi stand is right outside.
Location is great. In the middle of the centro storico .

Lovely base in Palermo old town
We stayed at Cassaro 261 for 2 nights in the middle of our 2 week tour of Sicily. It was a lovely place to be based in the old town area, just a few minutes walk to most of the sights, plus many restaurants and bars very close by. The apartment itself was very spacious, modern and well presented. Alessandro was also really friendly and helpful, and made us feel very welcome.
The main downside with visiting Palermo by car is that much of city, especially old town, has restricted access (ZTL) zones. For tourists this is very challenging to manage, and the information available (or not available) can be very confusing. For this reason, we parked at the long stay car park by the central station and then walked to Cassaro 261, which was about a 15 minute walk.

I arrived late, at 8:00 pm, and the taxi dropped me off at the nearest corner on ViaVittorio Emanuele. I had the hardest time finding 261 Via Vittorio Emanuelle: it is an Office Bldg type glass door set back from the street with no sign for Cassaro 261 BB. Luckily I could call Francesca who came down and showed me to the Cassaro 261. It is a set of rooms in a larger Apt, involving several keys. The room was very clean. adequate, and close to everything. Just be aware that it is hard to find! and arrive during the day !!!
