the area this property is in is extremely dirty and trash absolutely everywhere. I have been busy travelling and did not realize I needed to contact the property about when I am arriving as the front desk was supposed to still be open mid day. I could not get into the property, luckily people coming in let me in with them, or else I would have been stuck outside in the middle of the day as no one was there. When I arrived, no one seemed to be at the hotel, but I saw a paper on the desk with my name and room number, and the room was open so I went in. Maybe 30min later my door flung open when I was in bed. I thought maybe someone accidentally came in, but it seemed to be the manager?? And all he said was I need to give him my documents for check in, I didn’t even know who this person was. It was so unprofessional AND unsafe? He didn’t knock or introduce himself and could have opened the room while I was changing. There was also hairs on the bed and the bathroom was not connected to our room even though some photos show they are connected. The only redeeming quality was that the breakfast was good, but we were not offered coffee once even though others seemed to have coffee made for them. Also, the next morning someone barged into our room once again without knocking.

Simple, clean rooms with everythingyou need for a short stay including a fridge and daily clean linen. Good location, close to the train/bus station and historic centre. Very helpful, we arrived before check-in and we able to change and leave our luggage which the put in our room when it was free. Messaged us to let us know when the room was avaliable and we we able to leave bags on our last day as we had a late flight. Breakfast was lots of pastries. Would stay again.

This was the most amazing hotel experience - from behind the entrance to the street it was like entering another world - a palatial old worldly mansion. The new hotel tucked up inside was perfectly clean . We had a 4 bed room with massive amount of space, high ceilings , bathroom , aircon & spotlessly clean . The staff were so welcoming & friendly & breakfast was ideal. Unfortunately I can’t give 5 stars as the neighbourhood felt very unsafe - and travelling with kids it was quite daunting. Would have felt quite fearful if we couldn’t get through the main gate quickly. For adults looking for a slice of the majestic old world Palermo it would be fine. Very convenient to Quattro Canti … 7mins - straight road.

The staff were incredibly friendly, the complimentary breakfast was a lovely touch, and its proximity to major attractions made exploring the city effortless. there were a couple of drawbacks worth mentioning. In the evenings, the surrounding area felt unsafe for walking, particularly when returning from dinner. Additionally, noise levels throughout the day were quite high, which could be disruptive at times.

In a building that was grand in its day but is now « crumblingly photogenic »—but in the courtyard only—which is now the parking lot. Not super easy to find as just had a small sign on the wall. Breakfast service was quite good and the lady serving was nice. The front desk appeared to be unmanned virtually always. Rooms are clean but VERY basic and bathroom had a giant break-your-head-open 8 inch high step up from the bedroom. If you’re on a budget, the location is decent and walkable to most areas of interest but it’s pretty basic and the neighborhood’s kinda grubby. We must have lucked out that someone was at the desk when we arrived as we never saw anyone there at any time thereafter and we would have been up the proverbial creek.

The staff at Ballarò were very accommodating and the breakfast each morning was more than satisfactory. The room was basic but clean. The only downsides were the location and the noise in the hotel. The hotel is located on what appears to be a very run-down street that does not feel safe at night. As for noise, the soundproofing in my room was less than satisfactory and I was awoken on many occasions (including in the early hours of the morning) by loud noises outside in the hall. As a side note, the pillows were not very comfortable but this was not a major issue. Overall, my stay was pleasant.

We chose this hotel because it is close to the bus station. To our surprise, we were informed that the room did not have a bathroom and in fact the bathroom was across the hall. This information was not in the room descriptions. How we were supposed to know what "private bathroom" means across the hall. We were shocked. Not worth for its price.
