Dirty, stale smelling apartment - grotty area.
The apartment was not the pretty terracotta & white brick one shown on the hotel details. The entrance had a betting shop on one side & a fried food stall on the other with groups of clientele lingering until late. To the rear , just under the windows ,were cooked fish vendors ,still noisy at 2am. When they cleared away tables & banged the pans. The church bells across the square start ringing at 7am. The dirty apartment has an ill equipped & greasy kitchenette , stained pillows & linen & broken furniture - the owner doesn't feel inclined to replace the ring for closing the front door as it keeps being stollen. The wi-fi doesn't work & the owner is impossible to reach by phone. There is no local / apartment info in the apartment & I strongly advise that you book somewhere pleasant to stay.

No water?
We very much enjoyed our stay in Palermo, a fascinating city with an extraordinary range of architecture, friendly people, great food and nearby beaches, however, our accomodation was not what we expected. Two days before departure we emailed the manager/owner with our expected time of arrival and received a return email with instructions on how to find the apartment. When we arrived we were met at the entrance by the manager/owner who told us that due to a recent adjacent building collapse there was a problem with the water and we would have to stay at another of his apartments nearby in a narrow alley off Via Giovanni Meli. Although we didn't have a chance to see the original apartment we would guess from your website photographs that this alternative was a good deal inferior. It had the feel of student hostel accomodation - very basic matresses, a coffee pot with a broken handle, cracked mugs, very little cooking equipment etc. We were determined that this wouldn't affect our holiday and managed with what was available and would probably not have bothered to write this review if my daughter, an Italian speaker, had not discovered that the 'recent' building collapse had been in February this year. This can be confirmed on Google with the search term 'edificio crollo palermo via savona'. If there really is a problem with water why were we not informed in the return email, also, why is the property still advertised on your website?

Great Location - Nice Amenties - Poor Condition
We booked this apt as the hotel we wanted was booked. However, the apt access, location, and neighborhood provides an interesting slice of Palermo life that you probably would not get at a hotel location. Definitely liked the location - great low cost restaurants with seafood caught that day. The street life is dynamic and changing. Easy access to botanic garden and other Palermo landmarks. The apt is located OVER a business location that operates from 7am to 1am -- in the AM it is a quiet fruit market and street snack shop. In the evening all this closes and it turns into a busy outdoor restaurant with more wiggly fish and shellfish choices than other street spaces we have seen in Palermo. Great ambiance. The apt room (there are 2 or 3 in this building rented by the same person) had a clothes washer to our amazement. However, the shower head did work and to the manager's credit he replaced it with one that did. However, we had one day with no shower water. The kitchen was nice but roaches roamed all night over the cabinets. We mentioned this to the maid and she dismissed it as nonsense. We also rented it because it claimed to have FREE WIFI. When asked, the manager gave us the code, but the WIFI was not working (no IP given out - probably needed a reboot) and he was not responsive about fixing it. That was a bummer as WIFI is harder to find in Palermo than the travel sites suggest. We had just landed from the USA and needed to tell family we were ok & couldn't.

Well appointed room in perfect location for seeing Palermo.
Casa Giuditta provided me with a comfortable room with a balcony overlooking Piazza Kalsa. I had everything I needed including cooking facilities, refrigerator, air conditioning, a really good shower with instant hot water, TV, hair dryer..... there was also free wi-fi if I had wanted it. The room was spotless and I was very happy there. Casa Giuditta is ideally situated for seeing the most interesting sights of Palermo, most within walking distance. It is a short walk from the Central Station where most of the buses both local & long distance stop. The man on a scooter who handed over the keys to the apartment gave me the address of the nearest supermarket which I doubt whether I would have found by myself as it was well tucked away in a corner of Piazza Marina. Needless to say, this was very useful !

Good, but not excellent
The room is modern and clean, but there is a lack of some common things (like something to hang the clothes on, maybe on the back on the front door, and also some hangings at the bathroom door). We've been in March so in the night we stayed with the air conditioner turned on heat, because in the first night we felt a little bit of cold. Because the floor is tiled, you have to have some shoes to stay with, inside, or some solid socks, because the tiled floor is quite cold. Overall, I recommend this for everyone, it's modern, there is a (mini) kitchen inside so you can cook inside, having the fantastic fresh food from Palermo markets (great fish, excellent vegetables, etc). With more attention for some important details, this could be a 5 star location, but for the moment is just 4 star.

A true Palermo stay!
This place is a must for those looking for a real old world stay. Apartment is beautiful and clean inside. Area around is a bit messy - but that is Palermo! You must call 3 hours in advance of arrival, otherwise you will wait! Easiest way to explain how to find it is look for Piazza Kalsa - it is right in the piazza. A lovely stay really, would definetely go back.

Garbage Strike!
If you insist on staying in Palermo just make sure there isn't an ongoing garbage strike! Hotel is actually more like private apartments and the location gives you a real feel for Sicily... Amazing rice balls down the street and really great restaurants. About 15-20 minute walking distance of train station.

LOVE this place... Perfect location,, great atmosphere.
Our third stay at the Casa was just as great as previous visits. Helpful airport pick up, the owner plotting out sites of interest on the map. Stay here if you want to see the real Palermo. The location is perfect, right off Piazza Kalsa in the heart of the most interesting part of town. The sea is right there, have sea urchin at midnight from the stand, gelato, snails with the after work crowd. The best arrancine in town are around the corner at Bar Touring. Would not stay anywhere else in Palermo!!!

Great accomodation in Palermo
We stayed at the appt twice on our trip. We organised it via the internet for the beginning of our holiday and liked it so much stayed at the end - we phoned to make reservations then and their English was very good. It is spacious and airy and well appointed. It is central and a short walk to the center of the city but the accomodation is quiet and peaceful. For dinner you can not do better than go to the fish restaurants in the square - by the alley that leads to the appt building by the church. Both are great, lively and reasonably priced. The fish is first rate and the owners and servers are very accomodating. We speak no Italian and they speak no English but no problems. There are also great coffee places, ice cream places and bars in the neighbourhood - one very modern one to the right through the arch on the square on the esplanade. Everybody was very friendly - a great time.

Comment passer quatre nuits infernales à Palerme.
Nous sommes très déçus par cet établissement Les points forts Bien situé ,parking en dehors de la ZTL en face de l’appartement Les points faibles Appartement sale (cafards WC encrassé et ménage non effectué) Un mug pour trois et le petit déjeuner fourni avec deux sachets de croissants emballés sous plastique avec le prix de 1,40 euros et surtout immangeables.une brique de lait pour 3 personnes et deux briques de jus de fruits bas de gamme.... Nous avons donc perdu 4 jours de sérénité et de plaisir Un scandale merci hôtels .com avec le 8 sur 10 Cordialement

vi bytte lägenhet när vi kom fram. Den första var ostädad och sliten. Den vi fick istället var modernare och fräsch. Vill man ha nära till stranden så bo inte här men vill man uppleva palermo till fots och ha bra restauranger utanför dörren så är det här ett helt ok ställe.....

je ne conseille pas cet appart hotel
Ceci n'est pas un appart hotel, mais juste un appartement. Pas de ménage de la semaine.... (serviettes non changées, pas de papier toilette...). Pas d'accueil, les clés nous ont été remise par la femme de ménage qui ne parlait pas un mot d'anglais.Cet appartement se trouve dans le centre de Palerme et est bien situé, la chambre est correcte. La salle de bain correcte bien que la cabine de douche fuyait, et que nous nous sommes lavés en compagnie de cafards. Le coin cuisine correct, mais sans équipement, pas d’allumettes pour la cuisinière, pas de casserole.... Le lit est composé de 2 matelas 1 personne, très mou... Nous avons apprécié la climatisation. Pas de balcon comme indiqué dans la description.... Alors que le petit déjeuner était inclus dans la prestation nous avons du insister pour avoir au final des croissants en sachet pour la semaine ainsi qu'un paquet de café ! Ceci est une vrai arnaque !!!!

personnel très accueillant, réactif, à l'écoute. La chambre et les équipements sont basiques voire sommaires pour deux adultes et deux enfants, mais la disponibilité des responsables et la situation en plein centre de Palerme compensent largement le confort standard. Pour exemple, nous avons eu un problème d'eau chaude et après contact par SMS, Salvatore a réglé la situation très rapidement. Nous étions à 5 min à pied d'un supermarché, à deux pas de la très commerçante via Roma, tout en étant au calme malgré tout. Une très bonne expérience.

Séjour décevant
On n'a pas eu l'appartement prévu( fuite d'eau) Obligés de changer pour le centre de Palerme via Materassai, où il n'y avait pas de parking, nous avons du payer quelqu'un pour surveiller la voiture. Les appartements étaient neufs, mais dans un immeuble aux parties communes délabrées, nous étions au 3ème étage sans ascenseur, nous avons du laisser nos bagages chez nos amis au 1er. Nous avons dormi une nuit dans un appartement, puis 2 nuits dans un autre car le 1er était loué à partir du 2ème jour, il a fallu déménager. Le petit déjeuner s'est résumé à un paquet de café et 5 croissants pour 3 matins. Rien de positif à part le confort des appartements.

Not so good for the price
Owner was not so friendly and kind and after the question about included breakfast he brought us five croissants and one box of juice (for 3 days). There was a flood in the toilet and bathroom after using it. Very noisy place but close to the coast where some music productions were performed. Overall not so bad but for the price it was inadequate.

Schmutzig, Baustelle, kein Service, nicht in angegebener Adresse
Bei Ankunft wurden wir vom Shuttledienst in einer Seitengasse abgesetzt und sollten auf den Vermieter warten - 30 min mit Gepäck trotz vorherigen Telefonat! Zimmer wurde während der 10 Tage nicht einmal aufgeräumt, bzw. Handtücher oder Bettwäsche getauscht. Das Zimmer befindet sich an einer vollkommen anderen Adresse. Ausstattung dunkel,alt und schmutzig. An Stelle eines Balkons war nur ein kleiner vergitterter Zugang zum Hinterhof. Das Zimmer ist auch tagsüber dunkel, da nur ein kleines Oberlicht mit Milchglas vorhanden ist. Dafür hat man aber Glasbausteine zur Nebenwohnung im Zimmer und wenn dort die Mieter nachts nach Hause kommen, ist es "schön" hell. Wenn man das Badfenster öffnet, schaut man auf die Komplettbaustelle des Innenhofes. Die Wohnung befindet sich in der Via Materassai. Auch wenn wir mit italienischen Verhältnissen gerechnet hatten, ist diese Wohnung eine absolute Frechheit und hat nichts mit den Fotos auf der Webseite gemeinsam.

Ce n'est pas un hotel. Il n'y a pas de réception. Nous sommes arrivés à 11h par un temps pluvieux pour déposer nos bagages, on n'a pas voulu nous recevoir sous pretexte qu'il faut arriver à 12h30 et pas avant. Quel accueil !! Pas suffisamment de vaisselle. La casserole et les bols sont dans un état délabré. Impossible de prendre une douche car le conduit est bouché. Je ne recommande absolument pas cet hotel.

L'alloggio che ci hanno assegnato non era quello prenotato in via Savona, ma si trovava nel quartiere "Vucciria" penso che questo dica tutto. Nella caratteristice indicate dal Vs sito la struttura doveva avere TV digitale (ma dove??) asciugatrice e asciugacapelli (magari) accesso a internet gratis (ineistente) colazione gratuita (dove???) biancheria per la cucina e ferro da stiro.... niente di tutto cio'. e potrei continuare... Certo l'appartamento era ristrutturato da poco, nel complesso era decente ma non era ciò che avevamo prenotato. la pulizia inesistente, ho un bambino di un anno che non cammina ma gattona dopo 2 minuti che gattonava per terra era letteralmente "nero" e non di abbronzatura. Il quartiere caratteristico si, ma da visitare per 2 minuti,. non vivere in mezzo alle case diroccate e spazzatura ovunque per una settimana.

Salve, ci troviamo di fronte al tipico esempio in cui un cliente innervosito dice molte bugie sapendo che è difficile raggiungerlo con una querela per diffamazione. Il fatto che ci chiamiamo CASA GIUDITTA dovrebbe insospettire sul fatto che non siamo un hotel, cosa scritta chiaramente ovunque sul sito. I servizi di internet WiFi, ferro da stiro e tutto il resto che ha menzionato ci sono, e se dovesse mancare qualcosa siamo sempre pronti a rimediare.
