    Everything was brand-new, including amicable staff and incredible location very close to the train station. We were given spotless and cozy rooms with a large comfortable bed and air conditioning, for example. The terrace had good choice of great meals for breakfast.

    The breakfast in the terrace is abundant and delicious. The rooms are big and welcoming, with air conditioning and a large comfortable bed, as example provided. The location is marvellous and there is a bus stop close to the hotel...

    We stayed in a room with a bidet, and the beds with hypo-allergenic pillows were incredibly comfortable.

    I had an amazing stay at a charming B&B in the heart of Palermo. The room was beautifully furnished and spacious, with a comfortable bed and a lovely en-suite bathroom. Every morning, I was greeted by a delicious breakfast served on the terrace. The location was perfect, just a stone's throw away from the train station and the vibrant Ballarò market. Despite the busy surroundings, the building felt safe and secure. The host was extremely friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. I especially enjoyed relaxing on the patio, taking in the view and enjoying the cool breeze. I highly recommend this hidden gem in Palermo for a truly special experience.

    While the room was wonderful, the street noise from below could be quite disruptive at night. The sound of scooters and cars racing past, along with fireworks and garbage trucks, kept me awake until the early hours of the morning.

    Located near the central station and bus terminal, right next to the lively Mercato Ballarò, making it convenient to explore the city. The flat is well-equipped and cozy. The host is attentive and responsive, providing helpful information and support. The breakfast served on the beautiful terrace is amazing. It feels like home.

    The area around the hotel, especially the last part of the street at night, may not feel safe. However, this is common in South Italy.

    The location was fantastic, adjacent to the tourist area, train station, market, and all Palermo attractions. It also was in the center of Palermo. - I booked a room with a large bed, central heating, a private safe, and multi-channel TV.

    We spent 3 nights at this lovely guest house. The location was great, just a 3-minute walk from the train station. The owners were friendly and helpful, providing a delicious breakfast on the balcony every morning. The room was spacious, clean, and had lots of natural light. It was a fantastic way to experience Sicily.

    Highly recommend this hotel.

    Free WiFi, air conditioning, and a terrace? I felt like I was living in luxury! Plus, the Italian breakfast was so delicious, it made me forget about the horrid coffee I had to endure throughout my stay.

    Oh, did I mention the lovely terrace? Well, it came with a bonus: noise from the busy streets at night.

    The place was mind-blowingly modern and beautifully furnished with a super spacious bedroom and a cozy guest room with a couch and table. The hosts were jaw-droppingly hospitable, friendly, and always ready to help. The breakfast served was absolutely delicious, with an amazing variety of homemade cakes, fresh coffee, and fruits. The kitchen facilities were top-notch, with all the necessary cutlery, plates, glasses, and even a fridge that we could use. Location-wise, it was just a 3-minute walk from the main train and bus stations and only 10 minutes from Quattro Canti. an incredible experience with a few bites as a small observation. The accommodation was impressively clean and the position was perfect for exploring the city. Kudos to the hosts for their warm welcome and making us feel at home. Can't wait to come back!

    The room we stayed in had a lovely balcony with a view of the city. It was perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or relaxing in the evening. As trekkers, we loved soaking in the sights and sounds of Palermo right from our room. The private bathroom was well-stocked with free toiletries and a hairdryer. It felt like a home away from home, with all the necessary amenities provided. It made getting ready in the mornings hassle-free and convenient. The double room we booked had a kitchenette with kitchenware. This was a pleasant surprise as it allowed us to prepare simple meals and snacks during our stay. It added a touch of flexibility to our itinerary. The flat-screen TV in the room provided some entertainment after our long treks. Relaxing on the comfortable bed and catching up on our favorite shows was a great way to unwind. The room also had a stovetop, which came in handy for heating up leftovers or making a quick cup of tea. It was a small but thoughtful addition that made our stay even more comfortable. Some units even had a seating area, creating a cozy nook for us to chat and relax. It was a great place to gather as a group and reflect on our treks in Palermo.

    While the room was perfect in every way, we found the bidet in the bathroom to be unnecessary. It didn't fit our personal preferences, but we understand that others may appreciate its presence.

    The unit we stayed in had a balcony with a beautiful view of the city. It was so nice to sit out there and enjoy the scenery. The private bathroom had complimentary toiletries and a hairdryer, which was a nice touch. We loved that our double room had a kitchenette with all the necessary kitchenware. It made it easy for us to prepare our own meals. The flat-screen TV in our room was a great way to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring. Having a seating area in some units was a wonderful addition. It gave us extra space to relax and hang out together.

    Personally, I found the bidet in the private bathroom unnecessary. But I understand some guests might appreciate it.
