Monreale Hotels

Front desk person, Tamara very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very minimal

Staff goes above and beyond. We had an early flight and they accommodated us with an early breakfast. Perfect location in town a few minutes walk from the cathedral. We were in a junior suite and it was extremely nice. If driving to this hotel, take time reviewing how to enter the city. Several ways in are particularly challenging.

Good hotel close to Palermo Very friendly and helpfull staff Owner of hotel personally involved in ensuring that hotel guests are properly looked after

We used this B&B as a base from which to visit Monreale Cathedral and Palermo, and to avoid having to take a car into Palermo - it worked well for that. The B&B itself was comfortable - our room was decorated in traditional style, fitting with the building, and had a balcony with a great view over Palermo; breakfasts were ok. The owner could not have been more helpful, advising us on visits and on buses for Palermo. Our reservations about the B&B also arose from its location, though. Because Monreale is built on the side of a hill, the trip to any restaurants within walking distance for an evening meal involved a crossing of a busy main road and an Eiger-like climb up to Monreale's centre - in the dark, at our time of visit! I would not have attempted to use the car for that trip because the B&B is down a narrow, hilly and twisting lane. The owner did try to address the evening meals issue by arranging for everyone at the B&B to be driven to, and to eat at, a local restaurant but it didn't work very well for us as vegetarians and the place wasn't one we went back to again. So probably best, as we did, to have a big lunch somewhere and bring a snack back with you for the evening. Overall, value for money was ok, although we had better value from the other hotels we stayed at in Sicily.

enjoyed the hotel; spacious rooms; great location

Very central in town centre. Close to most things. Great views. Breakfast could have been better.
