Guest Reviews

• MARIA PAULA (9/5): - Enorme, buena ubicación y muy lindo! No nos limpiaron la habitación un día y el desayuno no era muy bueno
• Jan (7/5): Quirky stay in central location that comes with city center noise - The rooms are spacious and quirky. They are located in the city center - you just need a few minutes walking to the main attractions. It is a very noisy area, also at night. So if you are a light sleeper, choose another hotel. The owner started renovations at 8 am in the room next door - this was quite impolite.
• Carole (7/5): -
• Christoph (10/5): -
• Anne (8/5): Très bien - Emplacement idéal pour visiter Palerme à pied, quartier très agréable avec de nombreux bars et restaurants sympas tout en restant assez tranquille à cette saison (vacances de printemps). Appartement T1 très spacieux, confortable et bien décoré. Mettre des doubles vitrages pour une meilleure isolation sonore. ça serait parfait !
• Ahmet (9/5): -
• Rosalba (10/5): -
• Sissi (10/5): - Posizione Riscaldamento
• Margarida (8/5): -
• Mario (9/5): -
• Guido (8/5): -
• Jacek (9/5): Rewelacja!!! Szczególnie obsługa - Świetna lokalizacja, blisko sklep spożywczy oraz całe centrum. Personel sprzątający jak w 5 gwiazdkowym hotelu. Materace rewelacyjne! Nic dodać, nic ująć. Polecam w 100% Odświeżyć pomieszczenia i brakuje czajnika w pokoju( ale to norma we Włoszech)
• Lisa (8/5): - Posizione Tutto ok
• Mario Osvaldo Rafael (10/5): - Instalaciones muy buenas la ubicación excepcional Nada
• Alice (8/5): - La literie confortable, l’emplacement Très bruyant
• Franco (10/5): -
• Mariel Avila (10/5): - muy buena ubicacion, staff muy servicial y el restaurante de abajo esta delicioso!
• Maria (8/5): - Stort rum. Säng en liten trappa upp - loft. Smal balkong ut mot torg var trevligt. Behövde man nåt kom värden ganska snabbt. Fanns tex inga glas på rummet. Restaurang nedanför som tillhörde hotellet hämta där. Bra läge nära det mesta. Ingen frukost. Aldrig nån i receptionen när vi var där. Men WhatsApp funkade bra som kontakt.
• Lauren (6/5): - Very spacious apartment in a great part of town. It’s hard to find because there is no sign, the wifi was either slow or fully dysfunctional, and the shower needs updating. There is also quite a lot of noise at night from the restaurant downstairs (earplugs recommended). All in all, great location, decent deal, needs attention
• Natalia (6/5): - Was ok for one night.
• Beata (9/5): Amazing place with beautiful location. Will visit again! - Beautiful room. Very hostile staff. Clean and spacious Very very noisy. Grab a pair of ear-plugs. Very busy area and no place to park.
• Bertilla (10/5): - It was great, the bedroom and bathroom were huge. The bed was very comfy!! They also own the restaurant downstairs which was totally amazing. Don’t miss out!
• Sophie (10/5): - Super Lage, schönes, sauberes Zimmer. Die Unterkunft ist an ein tolles Restaurant + Eisdiele angeschlossen.
• Pierre (8/5): - Great location. We got good help to find the place. We had issues with AC for the last night.
• ENRICO (8/5): - Bella camera, grandissima. Contesto eccellente. Pulizia della camera ottima.
• Phillipp (10/5): -
• Andreas (9/5): Perfekte Lage für einen Städtetrip mit passendem Flair - Die Lage ist optimal für einen schönen Städtetrip nach Palermo. Unser Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber, der Balkon mit Blick auf den Park und den Piazza Marina. Wir fanden es auch überhaupt nicht laut! Das Frühstück im gegenüberliegenden Café war (bedingt durch einen Kellner) sehr hektisch.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing room and incredible service 🌟
• Camila (10/5): - La habitación era enorme. La cama y las almohadas muy buenas. Dormí muy bien. El barrio era silencioso y tiene muchos restaurantes en la zona..
• Jessica (10/5): - Loved the location of the property! Right in downtown Palermo with access to so many shops and food. Staff is very helpful and the place was super clean! Would 100% recommend to stay there!
• Elizabeth (4/5): - The bed was comfortable and we were able to check in at a time that suited us. Good location. We found a cockroach in our bedroom on the last night. The communication seemed a little off, as we were sent to the wrong room on arrival which hadn't been cleaned. This was fixed and we were able to change rooms, but then someone tried to come in the room when we were napping at midday.
• Helge (10/5): Super ophold - central beliggenhed - Perfekt beliggenhed tæt på alle seværdigheder. Stort og rummeligt værelse. Godt og prisvenligt valg.
• Paula (8/5): -
• martina (8/5): -
• Joshua (10/5): - Very good stay in the city center, good breakfast down the street at the bar was included. Helped with the ZTL zone pass as well. Comfortable, clean, cool and close to the main sites in the city center.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great location in Palermo - B&B maybe had 4-5 rooms in total. Our room was nice and spacious with a small balcony. Bed was big and comfortable. Location was in a great lively area of Palermo. Could be noisy in the mornings though. Would stay here again.
• Camilo (4/5): Experience 👎 - Not friendly , terrible wi fi Bad service access difficult Had to pay extra and had to leave at 10:00 AM
• Tami (10/5): - The owner’s assistant was amazing and helped us with bags, parking and ideas for food and shopping.
• Dan-Henrik (8/5): Great location - Great location
• Marcin (7/5): Nice interior and city center - Very nice looking interior with quality materials. Looks better than on photos but its more shadow like appartment (which I like). Very friendly owner from the restaurant downstairs. The street is loud at night and the windows are old so be prepaired for scooters, closing restaurant, people talking, trash truck etc. I slept with noise cancelation ipods.
• Grazia (9/5): Superb -
• Craig (10/5): Good location - Pro Large room Balcony Location was fabulous Daily housekeeping Con No safe
• Bosiljka (6/5): - The check in was little complicated because of communication issue.The host only spoke Italian. So we had to wait some time before we got in because we miscommunicated the arrival time. And we had to contact them for hot water because we did not get notified that we needed to wait for boiler to heat it up because apartment was without electricity for some time. But everything else was good.
• Rene’ (8/5): Very good -
• Rene’ (7/5): It was an adequate place to stay. Clean, cool, adequate. - Clean, good ac. Small showers Not enough toilet paper
• Rene’ (7/5): Would stay again. - Clean Small shower
• Rosemari (10/5): - Clean room. A little bit noisy in the evening. Good location.
• Suzanne (8/5): - Très bien situé. Propriétaire Très gentil Je le recommande sans hésitation. Son Restaurant cambusa Très bien mangé
• mylene (8/5): - Une chambre tranquille et propre avec tout le nécessaire près de restauration, boutiques et attraits touristiques.
• Rita (8/5): - This property was excellent. The only thing we didn’t care for was the mattress was very hard. But apart from that, wonderful.
• Michael (10/5): - Location
• Alissa (10/5): - Had a wonderful stay here! Great rooms and convenient location close to restaurants, historic sites, and the water. Would recommend!
• Heidi (10/5): Clean and cozy - The B&B is a cozily tucked away room right in the heart of Palermo. For breakfast; you go to a coffee shop next door , and just sit and enjoy the morning. The room is updated and spacious and in one of these old buildings with a small balcony and wooden shutters- A great choice while in Palermo
• Ekaterina (9/5): Superb -
• Paul (10/5): - Everything was great. The loft bedroom stairs was somewhat of an issue for bathroom runs in the middle of the night for our age, but everything else was great.
• Dayanand (8/5): - Leopoldo and staff were great. Good location and large rooms. No dedicated front desk but communication with the owner / manager is fantastic. Thank you !!
• Christina (10/5): - Great location with tons of restaurants and shops nearby. The room was nice and clean. The owner was very communicative for check out and check in. The front desk is unmanned, except for check in/out, which is not an issue. You can text them if you need any assistance. We had a great stay
• Heather (10/5): - The room was perfect as was the location. Close to everything we wanted to see yet far enough to still be quiet
• Manon (10/5): Exceptional - Very large room and bathroom. All was clean and well maintained. The voucher to have breakfast in a bar close by offered a good choice of options. Nice location near the main street with bar and restaurants, and close to the sea. A bit noisy at night during the weekend, but offer an authentic experience
• Ann-Marie (6/5): Lidt skuffede - Ligger meget centralt til by og havn. Toilettet stank af kloak. Sengene var ikke komfortable. Altanen var så lille, at man ikke kunne sidde derude. der manglede en el-kedel
• Sofia (10/5): Exceptional -
• James (10/5): Fantasic stay in a wondefull area of the city. Accomodation excellent. - Location was excellent. In a very authentic location with bars, cafes, and restuarants all within less than a minutes walk. Area felt very safe. Apartment was excellent. Huge room cleaned evey day (except Sunday) to a very high standard. Plenty towels and toileteries available. Owner was very helpfull and happy to arrange a transfer back to the airport. Breakfast was served at a local cafe 1 minute walk from the apartment. Received a voucher which allowed us to select certain items. These were fairly basic, but the option to purchase more enticing options was available.
• Philippe (2/5): Cauchemar - Accueil assez froid Chambre triste et sombre Bruit intense du à des travaux dès 8h du matin Petit déjeuner sommaire avec jus de fruit chimique et tiède Serviettes de toilette toujours humides et moyennement propres
• Fornich (9/5): Superb -
• Selina (10/5): - Nice hotel with friendly staff and great location. Lots of dining and shopping near, but still on a quiet road. Rooms are quite large as well, would stay again.
• Elizabeth K (10/5): - Amazing central location in Palermo with gorgeous, spacious rooms! Perfect for two people, with an equally massive bathroom.
• LORENA (8/5): - B&B was clean, easy to locate & staff was pleasant. Highly suggest bring extra shampoo & soap - the quantity provided is not enough for someone with medium to long hair. Breakfast was extremely limited - suggest providing some more options for the future. Good location for local activities & sites. Short stroll from the developing marina yacht club, dining, & pier views. Around the corner from various dining & pastry shops. Must try restaurant Gaffarro (chef Salvatore) on the 1st floor in front of the plaza - it was delicious. The surrounding felato shops are a great way to end a tour day.
• Katarina (10/5): - Vi bodde här en långweekend och det var helt perfekt läge i gamla området. Rent och snyggt och med närhet till ett stort utbud av restauranger. Hållplats för hop-on-hop-off buss alldeles nära och också bra möjligheter till pakering på området. Rummet enkelt men rymligt med ett stort badrum. Trots ett torg alldeles utanför så var det lugnt och tyst. Kan verkligen rekommendera detta boende.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Very good location and very clean - The B&B is in a great location, with sunday market, supermarket bars and restaurants just down the street. The place is clean!
• Elena (10/5): - Kalamarina Rooms is small, very clean b&b. Location is unbeatable, walk to everywhere.The owners, Leopoldo and his wife are a delight, very helpful and kind. Food in their restaurant is excellent, much better than in some highly rated restaurants in the area. Fabritsio, a manager was very helpful with finding us a ride to the airport. The shuttle he suggested to take was less than 10 min walk from the place and only $ 6.00 per person. We stayed there for three nights. Definitely will be back if in that area again.
• Diane (8/5): - I was not used to having no staff available but this is usual i hear
• Jason (9/5): Superb - Amazing location, in the city centre but also quiet at the same time! Room was spacious, staff were helpful with parking times and zones, perfect stay for us to visit nearby Palermo Nothing, only thing to bare in mind is parking in ZLT zones and being aware how to get round it. But this is nothing to do with the place, 100% recommend
• Adriana (10/5): - Good location, spacious room and very quiet.
• Juan (8/5): Lo mejor, la situación - Este B&B está situado en la mejor zona de Palermo si lo que te gusta es estar cerca del ambiente y restaurantes. Lugar limpio. El acceso es un poco complicado. El mobiliario un poco antiguo y el propietario amable.
• Ian (7/5): Good - The location was good for the town, a quick walk to one of the main streets. Very quiet, even with multiple restaurants right outside. There was also a farmers market right next door. The bed was uncomfortable. The staff was only available at certain times of the day, so you had to make sure you knew what time you were arriving.
• Aryaman (10/5): Parfait pour visiter Palerme - Séjour parfait à Palerme, l’hôtel est très très bien placé et il y a pleins de restaurants et cafés sympa et avec de l’ambiance tout proche. La chambre était très grande, propre et avec beaucoup de rangements. Je recommande !
• Cristina (8/5): - Buona struttura pulita e in posizione strategica
• Anne Mette (8/5): - Nice charming neighbourhood, cosy room with old tiles, balcony, great with eco-friendly soap ect. A bit of feel like home-feeling, thanks.
• Davut (8/5): Cute apartment near centre - Room it Very confortible Aircondition not 100%
• Heidi (10/5): Nice small hotell - Nice place. Nice people giving us the possibility to stay for one night due to the fire issue at Catania When our trip was moved to Palermo.
• Simone (8/5): - Il B&B si trova in una posizione eccezionale sulla Piazza Marina a due passi dal porto e a poche centinaia di metri da tutte le principali attrazioni della città. Per i locali (bar, ristoranti) non c’è che l’imbarazzo della scelta, ci sono davvero per tutti i gusti; la colazione viene servita al bar davanti alla struttura (Cafè Luca): buonissima! Il proprietario, il sig. Leopoldo, è una persona veramente gentile e pronta ad aiutarti per qualsiasi esigenza. La struttura molto funzionale avrebbe però bisogno di un piccolo intervento di ammodernamento.
• Kimberley (10/5): Great place, great price! - Spacious room and bathroom! Very clean, nice view from balcony. It’s not really a dislike, but another power outlet near the bed would be nice :)
• Woodlands (9/5): First time using B&B accommodation and were surprised by how great it was - This is our first time staying at a B&B accommodation and were a bit sceptical about it. We were completely amazed and surprised by the very spotless and spacious Bedroom and Bathroom that were well presented and not to forget the balcony over looking the Piazza di Marina. We found everything was well presented with the cleanliness, and the excellent customer service, friendly staff and the great location close to all amenities. We'll definitely book the Kalamarina B&B again when we next travel to Palermo Sicily JTA Sydney Australia Nothing, everything was great
• Jonathan (9/5): Superb - Great location, good value
• Teodora (8/5): Pleasant stay in the heart of Palermo - I absolutely loved my stay at this property, mainly due to its exceptional location, which put me in close proximity to all the major landmarks in Palermo - it's a delight for anyone interested in sightseeing. As for the room, it was a pleasant surprise as well. Not only was it meticulously clean, adding a feeling of comfort and relaxation to my stay, but it also looked exactly like the pictures provided. Arriving late at night, I found it challenging to locate the property, as the provided images weren’t of the main entrance and no sign marked “Kalamarina Rooms”. Additionally, despite requesting no cleaning service due to expensive photography gear I had in the room, my room was still cleaned. It’s a bit noisy during the night but I was prepared for that as other reviewers had pointed it out too.
• Alexandria (8/5): Pleasant surprise! - I got into Palermo late and the owner waited up for me. The room was clean, comfy, spacious. Central location and only a 15-20min walk from main bus station. Good value for €€. Breakfast at the bar nearby was really nice. I was honestly pleasantly surprised! There was a bit of a strong smell in her bathroom. Bring your earplugs and you’ll sleep very well!
• Séverin (10/5): Exceptional - In the center of the historical center. Best place to be. Can be noisy at night.
• Nicole (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nina (9/5): Superb -
• Mareile (8/5): Very good - I liked the big room and the great bed, but the windows could be a problem in summer, when the people will have party on the streets in the close restaurants. The Stuff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast very jummy! I liked the big room and the great bed, but the windows could be a problem in summer, when the people will have party on the streets in the close restaurants.
• Mondher (10/5): Exceptional -
• Xenia (9/5): Superb -
• Otmar (8/5): - Typisches B&B. D.h. keine Rezeption, Einchecken erfordert Klingeln an der Tür. Nach kurzer Zeit kommt dann jemand und übergibt die Schlüssel. Rückgabe der Schlüssel war nicht persönlich möglich, da niemand öffnete. Wir haben die Schlüssel dann in den Briefkasten geworfen.
• Amélie (8/5): - Très bien situé près de la marina et vieille ville piétonnière, balcon donnant sur une rue magnifique mais achalandée le soir. Petit hébergement discret, un peu difficile à trouver et sans stationnement sur place. Chambre bien et confortable, propre (contrairement à la ville de Palerme). Prévenir l’hôte de votre heure d’arrivée, afin d’éviter que personne ne soit sur place pour vous accueillir.
• Elodie (8/5): Sympa - Kalamarina est situé dans un quartier bien animé. La chambre était vraiment agréable, seul bémol, l'isolation de la chambre laissait à désirer. Le système de bon pour le petit-déjeuner dans un bar dans le quartier est bien.
• Nicola (8/5): Amazing location at an affordable price. good for staying couple of days! - amazing location bathroom, shower pretty small
• Maria-alexandra (7/5): Good -
• Paweł (10/5): Great location in the center of Palermo - Great room in an excellent spot in the center of Palermo. You can enjoy the great restaurants just outside while the room is very silent so even our kids could sleep without any issues. Good sicilian style breakfast just around the corner. Big supermarket almost door to door.
• fabrizio (10/5): Ottimo - Bella e centrale struttura confortevole e accogliente a prezzi assolutamente sostenibili colazione su un bar in piazza Marina buonissima pasticceria solo un suggerimento amichevole cambiare il soffione della doccia
• Rick (10/5): - Bijzondere kamer met bed op de verdieping. Geweldig uitzicht op het plein en het tegenoverliggende park, op beide is voortdurend reuring. Vanuit het verblijf ben je 1 straatje af van de winkelstraten, en een prachtig pleintje/kruispunt met straatmuzikanten. Ontbijt is geregeld met een cafe aan de overzijde, bestaande uit een kop koffie en een croissant. Heerlijke plek.
