Top Palermo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Plaza Opera

Hotel Plaza Opera

10/10 Excellent
"This is a very clean, well maintained, and pleasant boutique hotel. Both the staff at the front desk and the staff that cleans the rooms are courteous, considerate and very friendly. It is located in Politiama near the Garibaldi Theater. It is minutes walking distance to the historic center of Palermo. I had one small issue with the shower and the staff immediately changed my room for my duration there while they corrected the issue. And they were happy to do so. This is my third stay at this property and I highly recommend it."
