Absolutely bad .. ATTENTION: trap !!! Room bookings on the hotel page for the future will change the booking day ... then you pay for a room for the booking day and not for the reservation, boss is then not to speak, even on site he denied himself twice; Hotel is dirty and poorly managed; no one is responsible for complaints.

It is the second time that I stay in this hotel and I must say that we had a great time. The staff is very nice and helpful, the room is clean, the breakfast is varied and rich with fresh local products. Strategic location a stone's throw from the center. Quality price. We will certainly stay there when we return to Palermo.

Enough, nothing more. From a four-star hotel it is permissible to want more. Instead I had: an uncomfortable mattress (you could hear the springs protruding), small bathrooms in the bathroom, spaces that were certainly not abundant. Furthermore, the moldy bathroom walls (as well as the edges of the shower), combined with the multiple "drafts" in the walls of the room, restore an atmosphere of neglect. Very good breakfast and fabulously central location.

Very friendly staff and the sweet nice rooms instead leave something to be desired, well organized hotel with a wide choice for breakfast in the morning. The hotel is located in the center of the square, the very lively village full of bars and restaurants.

Final stay of bun tour Imperatore in October 2020, no organization x check-in arrived, arrived in the room we are greeted by a nauseating smell, dirty bathroom bedspread all stained sheets with hair we do to call the reception telephone broken air conditioning not working, after several and insistent complaints poorly clean the room and change the sheets. Breakfast is served in a small room. Without any foresight he covid all anmassati. The director to apologize gives us 2 nights with expiration on 31/03/2021, now due to covid I send an email to ask for an extension ... of the voucher. Which of course is denied

It is not a four star hotel whatsoever. The bathroom smells like mold, it is far from clean, the walls are paper thin and the staff is not helpful at all.
The neighbourhood is a creepy one, the kind that you don't want to leave the hotel at night on your own looking like a turists. Attached two pictures of the walls falling apart.
Of course, internet not working.

The hotel itself is pleasant. The concern is that it is difficult to sleep there properly. A big problem with the insulation between the rooms (snoring from neighbors) and with the street (music until 4 / 5am).
In winter: it is imperative to request a second blanket because there is no accessible heating or a second layer provided in the bedroom.
Very good breakfast.

Clean hotel, helpful staff, good price. Central location, easy to get to the center. Week end, however, a noisy street Po, you should do more cleaning in the street. Parking hotel in my opinion 13 euros per day too expensive.

Don't let the first impression take over. Although the area is not very clean it is suitable for travel because it is located in the center. Great breakfast, nice staff, clean rooms in the standard. A praise especially to Mr. Alessandro of the reception for his knowledge of the territory and its availability.

We did not try breakfast because we love markets and wanted to make fun of it but it was one of the best hotels we stayed at. 35 for a wonderful double, small but cozy, clean, the best 10-day shower. Friendly staff. Highly recommended

Great prices, very near the center and courtesy.

We arrived at the hotel at two in the morning without eating, and who welcomed us moved quickly to get us dinner in the room, quick communication.
Highly recommended!

Pretty but loud until late at night. strategic and central location. The showers are too narrow. Unable to shower if you are not thin. Price appropriate to features and rating

Very good accommodation, in the central area (10 minutes walk from the center). It is located in a popular neighborhood, on secondary streets with little traffic, and therefore tends to be quiet.

It does not offer a great view, but the rooms are very comfortable and pleasant, as is the shower room with hydromassage (but if you exceed 80 meters and a tonnage of 90 kilos, you will find it a bit forced).

Very good and varied breakfast, also with various local sweets of excellent workmanship. Good services available. Polite and punctual staff. They accept animals.

On line there are also negative reviews about this structure, which however, in my experience, seem unfounded to me. The only criticism that is certainly true is that some places around the hotel, located in the "nightlife" area, can sometimes be a bit noisy. As well as some exuberant motorists, who occasionally pass by with stereo systems at full volume. But this does not depend on the hotel, and it happens in any central area of a populous city.

In conclusion: a definitely recommendable hotel.

Impeccable friendliness and availability. Clean rooms though, maybe not large, at least my used one.
Excellent breakfast and unique view from the small but well-kept terrace managed by the very kind Vincenzo.

A pleasant find this hotel. Surely we put it on top of our preferences for when we return to Palermo. Upon arrival, a very nice receptionist offered us sweets and drinks, which after hours of travel were really good for us! Very cuddly room, spotlessly clean, warm at the right point. Very nice bathroom. We see that those who manage it love to take care of the details. Super breakfast.

I do not know what to write. Hotel like a hotel (place to sleep). Delicious service. Cleaning ladies great. The room in addition to the bed and TV cabinet, refrigerator, hair dryer, and the shower is even with hydromassage. I slept in different places, so it can be said that it is very good and in a quiet neighborhood. Of course, close to all attractions and 10 places that while in Palermo should be seen (I recommend red line - helpful when visiting). In general, it's Palermo, you'll love or hate it, but I recommend the hotel

Just fine. The rooms were really cute. Our only complaint was that the location was very noisy at all hours and the air conditioning seemed to only have two settings: freezing or off. We recommend this hotel, just bring ear plugs :-)

To be a 4 star there are things to be better ... as a mattress that was not unique but two Se parts and an uncomfortable Po .... broken bathroom door (I stayed on my hands) and hydromassage shower (nice thing and useful) but too small ... I could not raise my arms to wash my hair and mine did not fit. Overall small but lovely room in style. Good breakfast with everything. Good location for going downtown.

Room small and modest, definitely to be refreshed. The climate is supposed to be there, but it works poorly, the impressive hydromassage set in the bathroom is supposed to be there, but it does not work at all. Poor hotel location: outskirts of the center but far everywhere: at least 20 'walk to Quattro Canti, 30' to Palermo C-le train station. The square adjacent to the hotel is a party place on weekends, which can be heard in the room; very loud music (a ghostly rumble of the bass!) carries on long after midnight, and noisy and rather unfriendly youth roam the area. Disappointment with the declared **** in comparison with the actual standard, as well as the location.

On the pluses: relatively clean, tasty and plentiful breakfasts. Close to the Palermo Giachery train station. Nice staff.

Very nice hotel, clean rooms very active service, education to the fullest, all the reception staff who make shifts and wonderful, you feel at home, breakfast to scream with croissants and freshly made cakes, the room staff and the utmost courtesy and education. Hotel Located in an ancient part of the city, where you will find as soon as you exit the hotel on the left a small square with barbecue stations, that is, there are people who are grilling you the meat, the sausage at the moment, eat the stighioli, if you want sandwiches, drinks , and so much warmth on the part of them, the appearance deceives people, you have to live the places where you go, nobody touches you, nobody insults you or looks for quarrels, on the contrary if they can help you they do it of heart.ah I forgot in front of the bakery c 'is a fishmonger, you can buy fresh fish and have it roasted by the boy next door, come gentlemen come. Palermo is not how they describe it.

Clean hotel excellent breakfast and plentiful kind staff the negative part: if you have the room near the elevator you feel a beastly mess, then at night there is the nightlife and you can not sleep

Hygiene standards are not met. Shower moldy. Shower head with much covering, dusty, holes in the walls. The room smells like it was dipped in Febreeze. It bites in the eye. In my complaint would make fun in the lobby, stupid that I spontaneously came down and heard it. Shower would be cleaned but half-hearted immediately. Never again! A nightmare. I camped better. I would like to show photos. Simply disgusting.

Excellent hotel, excellent breakfast, excellent location, excellent service, at the reception will always help and prompt. I liked everything very much. The staff and administration thank you very much for a great stay.

The hotel is nice, in a classic style, it could stand a bit of modernizing, and it is not as noisy as some report, even when this is variable depending on the day and season. Fast wi-fi. The rooms are spacious and the bathroom is complete. Reading other reviews one has to wonder what some people expect from a 4-star. Breakfast is very abundant, there is no in-house gym. The staff is very kind and helpful. The location is the only negative: the neighborhood is dark, dirty -it s Palermo- and generally not the best: some local folk you may encounter on your way back at night can make one nervous. Walking to the center takes 20 minutes, so it is convenient while not ideal.

Good reception I had parked the car in front costs 12 euros per day. Breakfast is good. Within walking distance of the center. Hop on a bus tour done all day you will quickly come to the beautiful places.

Excellent hotel in a good location, very convenient to reach the historic center, but also the port area. Piazza Politeama can be reached in 5 minutes on foot and here many city buses depart. Good breakfast and nice staff.

Compact hotel near the center of Palermo. Extensive delicious breakfast buffet and air-conditioned rooms. Parking is difficult and expensive, shower is too small. The area surrounding the hotel is not very inspiring and noisy but for a few nights it is doable.

The room did not have the correct bedding arrangement. One of the staff came to separate the bed into twin beds and gave us the sheets for US to make our own bed; that is NOT good service
We travelled with a guided tour and dined together. The 2 dinners we had there were awful.
I absolutely do not recommend this place.

Parking is hard to find.

Parking is hard to find.

Room safe and mini bar fridge did not work.

Overall hotel has a tatty feel about it.

Shower had a massage within it and it was so small a normal size person struggled to use it.

View from window was onto the poverty streets below with rubbish piled high.

Breakfast was great and varied and have no complaints.

Staff were on the whole friendly and helpful.

WiFi was fast with download at 30mb in my room.

Further the price was very reasonable and I would recommend but just a expect some rough edges for the prices!!

Pleasant little hotel.

Pleasant little hotel.
We like to use it because it is near the ferry port. You do not need to drive far if you come in the evening from the ferry.
The breakfast is good. Town center Palermo within reasonable distance so that you can easily walk.

Central hotel, slightly dated but clean rooms. Courtesy and availability and professionalism, especially from Fabrizio and Gaia at the reception. Should I return to Palermo, I would certainly stay in the same hotel.

The location is geographically good and a walking distance of about 15 minutes from beautiful places and important markets.
The hotel itself is not impressive. The staff is pleasant and welcoming and very helpful.
The rooms are fine and cozy but not quite quiet.
You hear the toilet and shower of the next room when in use. A good breakfast is provided in a nice and cozy dining room.
Total very good hotel and full of guests.
