This place is great except for curb appeal of the building it is in! It looks run down and not appealing first impression. But once you go inside it’s very nice and better than many hotels in the area and entire Italy frankly! Friendly helpful staff, close proximity to temples, good eateries downstairs and FREE parking makes this a great B&B for those driving travelers to the area.

Fantastic stay!

We have just stayed here for 3 nights and what a pleasant stay! Right from the beginning the hosts were extremely accomadating, from getting in touch with us a few days before to explain the after hours check in process to outlining some personal recommendations and providing a detailed map. Breakfast was wonderful with each day having at least one new little thing to try (The almond milk and Cannoli were a favourite) Overall cleanliness was very good and the little terrace you get was charming. Location is fantastic, a stones throw from the centre. It can be a little noisy in the evening but to be expected given the location....the earplugs provided came in handy ha! Thank you for a wonderful stay and a providing a lovely base for visiting a superd city

We appreciate how quickly the staff reaponded. It was nice to have a breakfast provided. The furniture has pretty motifs. The bed was hard and the shower was tiny and narrow. The AC took some time to build up to a comfortable temperature.

Home away from home

Such a homey little place! Sadly we got in late so didn’t have a ton of time to enjoy. The ladies helping out with breakfast were so so sweet! They actually serve you breakfast and explain the food they are serving. You can tell they take such pride in the b&b. We felt so welcomed and wish we could have stayed longer! Cute towels too :)

Quaint Place but Unreliable

The B and B itself was clean and the room was fine for our needs. Just know if you stay here it will be a small quaint experience. There were good and bad things about that. The good- the employees were nice and cooked a great made to order breakfast, top notch. The bad- they were not as willing to make reservations for dinners and they did not run a front desk for last minute questions or help. The worst offense was their inability to accurately book a taxi for our 5:00 AM departure. We were waiting at the curb at 5:00 and our taxi didn't show. My husband had to turn on his cell service (which we purposely didn't do for the trip, causing us an extra charge) to call the 24 hr number only to find out the B and B didn't confirm the taxi. If you are fine with an experience basically like Air B and B then this is for you. If you book an actual B and B for the help then look elsewhere. They cannot be trusted to follow through on their commitments. Also the street was loud and they acknowledge that by giving you ear plugs.

We enjoyed our stay at Stupor Mundi. The hotel is situated nearby bars and restaurants as well as shopping. The staff is very welcoming. They gave us great tips for our stay in Palermo and throughout Sicily. The room is comfortable and spacious, a bit noisy, but considering we're downtown Palermo, I guess it's expected! They even provide earplugs for our convenience! The prices are very reasonable, and you get a fantastic breakfast to boost! Highly recommended!
