Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel rooms were large, clean, and well-appointed, with lovely amenities and an old-world vibe, but the separate WiFi was inconvenient. The service was a mix of surprisingly unfriendly and friendly and helpful traits. The location was superb for visiting major attractions but also next to a stream of water that posed occasional noise disturbances. The dining options were good, with a beautiful terrace and jazz in the bar, yet nothing extraordinary for a five-star hotel. Overall, the hotel provides a great experience with some minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely luxurious! The rooms were like a dream with a super comfortable bed, blackout curtains, and a gorgeous upscale bathroom. However, the noise from outside was quite noticeable, even with earplugs. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to assist me. The location was perfect for exploring the Old Town on foot, and there were plenty of dining options nearby. The dining experience was good overall, with a unique buffet breakfast, though some items were cold. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were lovely and close to lots of dining options, spacious, and nicely furnished with a balcony. The service was fantastic, with attentive and friendly staff who made me feel like a VIP. The location was amazing, right at the center but on a quiet street, making it easy to walk to all the sites in central Palermo. The dining experience was awesome, and the style and architecture of the hotel were stunning.
The room was a mixed experience with great furnishing and comfort but also marred by noise and cockroaches. The service was friendly and helpful. The location offers easy access to local amenities but needs upgrades for better air cooling. The dining options were generally good with a unique buffet breakfast. The hotel facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel is perfectly located in downtown Palermo, close to the historic sites but also peaceful at night. The service was decent, with helpful staff but could have been more attentive. The dining experience was exceptional, setting the right tone for the day. The room had a modern shower but initially had mosquito issues. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and luxurious, but they felt small and lacked proper soundproofing, making it challenging to relax. The service was friendly and accommodating, helping us with various requests effortlessly. The location was excellent, close to many attractions and dining options, but the lack of in-house dining was a downside. The dining experience offered plenty of choices but was not up to par with the hotel's standards.
