Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was fantastic, clean rooms and very centrally located. We had a car and free easy parking on the street nearby. Only recommendation I would like to add that the spa and masseuses would have later hours of opeartion. Last appointment was at 7pm. Would stay again. Beautiful hotel.
It’s our third time staying there we find it convenient to the marina area and to the rest of old town Palermo.
The staff is very helpful and the breakfast room and buffet are outstanding
We stayed here in May 2025 and had a great time. The room was big and well equipped, but the best part was breakfast on the picturesque terrace (and happy hour there too!). The hotel is also in a good location, roughly a 10 minute walk from the historic centre ( which is good as the centre can get quite crowded!).

Staff were great. Room was fantastic. Location very convenient for port, seafront, harbour dining
Wonderful hotel close to the historical district. The Spa is a MUST!!!
Breakfast was incredible. Gianlucca was a helpful concierge. The local restaurants are fair priced and the limoncello spritz are delightfully refreshing!
Great stay in a lovely hotel. Clean, very helpful staff. Superb buffet breakfast, tea and cake time and cocktail hour.
Good value and a super spa with sauna, steam, pool and cold and hot shower system.
This hotel is super convenient. I liked capabilities to pay for parking service, excellent 4th floor restaurant and breakfast buffet. Super easy to see the town and markets.
We spent 4 days at this hotel and we loved our stay there. Very nice staff and wonderful free breakfast. We intend to stay there again next time we go back to visit Palermo
Nice clean hotel close to main centre with lots of restaurants within 5 minute walk. In a quieter part of town so no traffic or nightlife noise. Rooms were in good condition and comfortable bed.
Great breakfast options and staff spoke good English and were very helpful.
There is no kettle but plenty of coffee shops close by. Would happily stay there again.
This was a great property. Incredible customer service at every single point of contact. Good location on a secondary street (there was still some street noise but that’s to be expected). The breakfast was fantastic - so many delicious house made items and there was variety from day to day. I wouldn’t think about staying anywhere else for our next visit to Palermo.
