Alma Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Really well located hotel right outside the pedestrian zone in Palermo. In just 5 minutes you are in front of Teatro Massimo. The hotel is very secure, the staff is very friendly. Also important to note that the staff is the same everyday, and you’ll see the same ppl greeting you which is nice. The breakfast is everything you need to start a day. Small and fresh selection of cheese and meat, cereal, yogurts and of course their sweets. Rooms are very comfortable, with excellent bedding and mattresses. Very strong Air conditioning, and a great shower/bathroom. I would certainly recommend for couples and would stay again."
