8.3Verified guest“A lovely hotel with excellent staff. For €12 a day you can hand over your car keys at reception and they'll park your vehicle—very handy in a city like Palermo. Rooms are clean and comfortable, the reading room is beautiful, and breakfast is good. Most sights are within walking distance, with lots of bars and restaurants just around the corner.
