The breakfast was excellent. The elevator was broken during our stay, repair people were there both days. I would check with the hotel before booking to see if the elevator is working before booking if you have mobility issues. The block that the hotel is located on had a power outage the morning of checkout due to a protest in the square. Therefore we had to shower in the dark and cold water. There was no ability to get a late. check out. The housekeeping staff entered our room without knocking the morning we were leaving. When she seen us she spoke and left but she spoke in her language and we didn’t understand what she said. She could have been advising about the power outage unsure. The staff was friendly and helpful. They allowed us to leave our luggage while we explored the area until our ferry in the evening.

There was major refurbishment taking place, facilities were not available such as no elevator. This should have been indicated prior to booking. The restaurant was closed in the evening so after a long day we were obliged to go outside. Again what was advertised vs. what was available was inappropriate. Pay for an expectation get something much less

Dear Sue, I am sorry to hear about this... Each customer is well in advance informed regarding our elevator situation in order to avoid any "surprices". Even the fact our rooftop is closed is something we mentioned in the email we sent you. We hope to see you in the future again if you'll come to Palermo.

Nice older hotel. Great views from the roof top dining room. Fantastic customer service from everyone at the front desk. Wonderful dining room, and great breakfast. Had rental car issues while there, and they went above and beyond to make sure we got mechanic assistance (even when the car company did not). Very convenient location to most of what you would like to see in Palermo as well as dining options too numerous to count within walking distance as well. Highly recommended hotel. FYI Elevator was being replaced in late February 2024 making it difficult for older people/physically challenged. OTherwise perfect stay!

Traditional hotel with excellent breakfast views
We chose this hotel as it's near the station. It's well located for the centre of Palermo. Our room was a reasonable size with high ceilings. Bed was comfortable and TV was a smart TV with streaming (although quite small). Downside being an old building was that the noise from the main road and inside the hotel carried. Our room was on to the main road. Breakfast was average, continental fare but it's served outside on the seventh floor terrace. Really lovely spot with great views.

Dear John, thank you for sharing your opinion! We are happy you enjoyed your stay at the Ambasciatori Hotel. Regarding the noise, all rooms are equipped with double windows to isolate as much as possible from the street noise. In fact, when you close all the windows, you can barely hear anything. We hope to see you soon again!

Charm charm charm
Location is fantastic. Front desk staff are very helpful and friendly. The room was charming. We were blown away by the view of the city and the sea from the rooftop bar/restaurant. Breakfast was memorable as there was singing through the streets. If arriving with a car plan to drop off bags at front reception and then park a few blocks away. Not hard, just good to know because the hotel is on a busy street.

Ideal Location but Small room and shower
Great location and easy to walk to all the sites. It has a small very old elevator which was necessary to haul our luggage to 5th floor. Enjoyed the rooftop restaurant one night of our stay. Breakfast was disappointing and limited. There was lots of cakes and pastries (Typical Italian) but lacking in fruit, granola, yoghurt etc. The biggest downside of this is hotel is that rooms are tiny with very very tiny shower. I could barely lift my arms up to wash my hair. Smallest shower ever in all my travels.

Response from Greta on Aug 20, 2023
Dear Tamara, we are happy that you appreciate the position of our hotel and our restaurant on the rooftop. However, we are sorry to read your words about breakfast, as we offer yoghurt, cereals and fresh fruit every day and our guests adore typical Sicilian pastries. The lift is located inside a historic building, so it is an old model, but it is characteristic precisely because of its particularity. As for the room, next time we advise you to choose one of our deluxe rooms which have a maxi shower.Thank you for choosing us and for sharing your experience. We hope to see you again.

This hotel is clean and convenitnely located in Palermo. There are not too many shops or places to eat directly outside of the hotel, but the main roads are just a short walk away. I would recommend this hotel to anyone passing through Palermo looking for a quiet and convenitnely located place. The rooftop and breakfast were a plus!
