“great for a short stay, very friendly staff”

you get what you pay for, so on the whole the rooms are cleaned daily, hotel is clean, and foods cheap and afordable, would recomend

“Very Decent hotel.”

The room was very clean. The breakfast's were one of the best we had in Sicily. Staff was helpful and polite. The only negatives I have on this hotel, is it's location, and the noise from outside. We later found out that it's the norm for accomodations in Sicily.

“Off the beaten track”

Casa Marconi was very clean and well-maintained, had a convenient restaurant next door, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only caveat was that the hotel was far from a main road and a hike from the train station; not recommended for those traveling with luggage and without a car. Otherwise, good price for the value.

“Exactly as advertized”

This hotel delivers exactly what is advertized. My room had a bed, desk and a bathroom (with a cramped shower--even for European standards). The hotel is part of Palermo Univeristy and is filled with college students. The breakfast was good and the room had a television (some reviewers said there was none). The room was clean and the staff friendly and spoke English. I was in Sicily to conduct research, so was not concerned with creature comforts, but I would not recomend the hotel to a vacationer. Also, the parking garage is a few blocks away.

“Not Impressed”

to begin with there was no hot water on our first day, so we had to notify reception to call maintenance as they had no idea. Not to mention that there was only one blanket in the room and the radiator didn't work on the first night. after the hotwater had been seen to, the radiator would come on occasionally and be switched off by 10pm. so perhaps this hotel is only for summer as we practically froze.
