Also a short walk to the busy pedestrian area of Palermo with its many restaurants cafes shops and markets. The propietor was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and there was a communal kitchen area. Ferry was a short walk away and train staion a bit further away but walkable. No real issues with the accomodation at all.

For people who can appreciate a distinctive and historical place to stay, I couldn't recommend it more highly.

• Jessica (3/5): Poor - Location was good The check-in process was very confusing. Also the air conditioning did not work, the shower was broken, the wifi did not work even though it was advertised as having wifi and the rooms were very dark.
• Michelle (10/5): - Lovely location and friendly staff:)
• Inna (7/5): Good location, but nothing more - Good and safe location, walking distance to restaurants and main attractions Old and dirty towels
• Maddy (8/5): Very good -
• Charlotte (8/5): Really comfortable accommodation, helpful proprietor, happy for us to check in early and leave bags after check out. - Google search On quite a noisy street

• Leo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martyn (9/5): Had a great time in a lovely city - Good breakfast including a tea pot. Room was a good size with fridge. Location was walkable to attractions No Safe in the room
• Emma (10/5): Little gem of a place - Friendly, relaxed stay for 3 nights. Staff were just lovely, couldn't be more helpful. Clean, large room with a view out over the street, but still quiet. It was a little bit out of the main town, about a 25 minute walk to the train station, but there is an airport bus stop just a 5 minute walk away, and all the sights are walkable - Palermo isn't a large city. Breakfast was usual Italian fare, plenty to start the day, and great strong coffee to wake you up! Great choice of restaurants and bars nearby too. Would definitely recommend.
• Douglas (9/5): We were only able to stay one night before heading off to visit other parts of Sicily. We would have stayed on our retur - Good location relative to the historic areas and sites of Palermo. Everything is within walking distance. Our host was lovely and super helpful! Charming interior with classic furniture.
• Maluvi (9/5): Fantastic! Would return - Excellent location - the hosts were focused on helping visitors .
• Virginia (10/5): Fantastic would have loved to stay longer - The most lovely host and beautiful hotel Loved it
• Sally (8/5): Stepping into a Palazzo - Host was very kind and went out of his way to accommodate us. Lovely grand rooms with liberty Style chandeliers. Rooms were delightfully decorated. Very pleasant stay. Comfy beds. Good shower. A bit of extraneous noise.
• Quechuatraveller (8/5): Very good - Super great host, very nice appartment byilding and room. Felt like a palazzo. Okay breakfast.
• Borce (9/5): Superb -
• Kirsty (10/5): Perfect accommodation and a wonderful hostess. Exceeded expectations. - As a group of 4 friends visiting Sicily for the first time - this hotel was absolutely perfect! All communication from the hotel was given in a timely manner. We were greeted with such warmth and affection from Germano who immediately made us feel welcome. She is one wonderful lady! The rooms were large and beautifully decorated. All advice given regarding what to see and do when in Sicily was spot on. I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Palermo - fantastic value for money. Finding the hotel the first time in the dark was a little tricky as it is not entirely obvious!
• Brendan (10/5): Great hotel in good location - Large comfortable suite. Airy rooms, nice breakfast and a great host. Great location on pedestrian street with amazing restaurants nearby.

• Esra (10/5): Exceptional - I liked everything about the palace. It was a real palace and still is. Never ever seen such an understanding, kindness from the hosts before. So I will never forget this. My experience was a very special one. Grazie mille!
• Nils (10/5): Härligt boende till bra pris - Fantastiska värdar som pratade mycket bra engelska, läget är perfekt med gångavstånd till i stort sett allt som kan vara av intresse. Ovan samt att det hela bokades till ett väldigt överkomligt pris gör att jag om jag besöker Palermo igen så kommer jag med största sannorlikhet att bo här.
• Isobel (9/5): It was a great place to stay - Delightful rather quaint decor in public areas. Friendly helpful staff who spoke very good English. Rooms were great. I appreciated the fine mesh over the windows which protected from mosquitos and the very efficient air conditioning. Everything was scrupulously clean. Location was ideal. It felt very safe but was very close to the historic centre. We would have liked some wholemeal bread at breakfast rather than white bread for toasting. However it's a minor gripe. If you like sweet croissants and cakes at breakfast you will be in heaven :)
• Rupendra (8/5): - The property was at a walking distance from the main area. The property is well maintained and staff very friendly and helpful.
• Carmelo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chenyu (8/5): - The property was located in a convenient area, within walking distance to the main markets, other sights, and the airport bus stop. The host was kindly enough to arrange check-in at a time convenient to us, and the communication was smooth. The room itself was large, but the mattress felt a bit old. We loved the balcony and the view it offered. The breakfast spread was good! We also appreciated the elevator, a rare amenity in older European buildings.

• Politi (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful hosts and within walking distance of everything.
