8.4/10 Very Good! (1,004 reviews)

Room smelly and very small. Definitively not a 4 star hotel. The staff was helpful as long as you don’t ask anything outside of the ordinary, otherwise they don’t show any willingness to help. We asked for a cancellation at the last minute due to an issue with our travel arrangements and also given the condition of the hotels and they even did not try to entertain the idea of a partial reimbursement.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (33 reviews)

This was the perfect place to stay for my first trip to Palermo. The location was walking distance to the best attractions, shopping, and restaurants in the city center. The staff were welcoming and helpful in every regard. The room included a wonderful breakfast which was a great way to begin each day. The hotel is unique in that it is owned by a baronness who has remodeled a portion of her palace as a hotel. I would not hesitate to return here. There are also great options here for families or couples traveling together…or a great girls’ trip.
