Tão perto e tão longe do centro histórico

Quarto e banheiro grandes, bom café da manhã. Hotel com decoração tradicional, localizado numa avenida bem movimentada (tem um pouco de ruído de carro dentro do quarto) onde estão localizadas as lojas de grife, sem a balburdia de turistas e camelôs mas cerca de 3 km da área histórica (Catedral de Palermo, Palazzo Normando, Quatro Canti), o que dá uma caminhada de no mínimo 30 min até o início do centro. Hotel usado por executivos e membros de cias aéreas.

La localizzazione è molto buona/ la struttura è il servizio non sono buone. Le finestre non si chiudono ne si aprano bene, per fare la doccia bagnava tutto il bagno, il divano letto era molto scomodo con le molle rotte, la michette molto vecchia. Assolutamente da sistemare, cascava acqua dalla soffitta in bagno. Nel colazione nemmeno pane integrale.

Old Glamour hotel needs an overhaul.

It was so so. The reception staff was great and the breakfast very good. Dinner also was good and staff nice. The condition of the hotel is run down, carpets are filthy, wallpaper peeling and tacked on with thumb tacks in places! You can see that it was at one time a beautiful hotel, it has the old world glamour. But it desperately needs to be painted, new carpets and general clean up would do this property a great service. Lots of street noise at night and a good half hour walk to the old town for tourist attractions.

Solid Value Hotel

A good value hotel in Palermo. A bit of a walk (15-20 minutes) to the historic centre, but a good location overall. Hotel is a bit tired in spots, but still retains much of the elegance of its earlier days. Staff were, without exception, helpful and friendly.

Rigtig fint hotel med historie og sjæl. Samlet set en god oplevelse med god service og god beliggenhed. Eneste minus var at der løb vand ud på hele badeværelsesgulvet fra vores bad. Ekstra plus er, at shuttle-bussen til lufthavnen går lige foran hotellet.
