Non bello... bisogna elemosinare la colazione con brioche imbustata. Palermo patria di tante leccornie...? Per non parlare della poca quasi Assente "cortesia". Sconsigliamo a giovani girovaghi come noi.

Il B&B era vicino alla stazione dei treni e sei pullman e in centro. Posizione ottima. Il personale era molto cortese e gentile. Biancheria ed asciugamani puliti, unica pecca motivo per cui non do il max la nostra camera aveva il water che perdeva acqua, per il resto nulla da obiettare lo consiglio vivamente per la posizione e per la simpatia del personale

Super séjour !

Agréable séjour en famille. L'hôtel est situé près de la gare centrale, il est propre le ménage est fait chaque jour, déco rustique et sobre, personnel sympathique et serviable. La chambre était spacieuse bien entretenu avec climatisation incluse, télé, et armoire de rangement (il aurait été pratique d'avoir des cintres), salle de bain privé propre avec équipement (douche, WC, bidet, lavabo, sèche-cheveux, savons et gel douche en cadeau modèle invité, serviettes changées sur demande). Le lit double aurait besoin d'un nouveau matelas et oreilles, sinon les lits simples sont impeccables. Le petit déjeuner est copieux mais plutôt similaire chaque jour. L'hôtel est situé dans le vieux Palerme, près des lieux historiques faciles d'accès à pieds, lorsque l'on veut découvrir la ville c'est idéal. Les richesses architecturales de Palerme sont incroyables et très nombreuses. La ville est pittoresque et très intéressante. Le quartier pourrait paraître mal fréquenté car beaucoup d' "extracomunitari" comme ils disent là-bas, mais les siciliens rassurent, je n'ai eu aucun problème et j'étais avec mes 3 enfants. Un magasin Carrefour se situe non loin de l'hôtel très pratique. Un restaurant à ne pas manquer près de la gare centrale "Chez Enzo" la meilleur pizzeria de Palerme, accueil chaleureux, prix incroyables (maximum 10€), portion généreuse, produits frais et délicieux. En bref, super séjour à refaire!!!

SUFFICIENTE

Posizionato nei pressi della stazione centrale in una stradina secondaria. L'impatto non è dei migliori: case fatiscenti, musica napoletana ad alto volume e sporcizia per strada. L'hotel non è male ma le condizioni superano di poco la sufficienza, soprattutto per via della scarsa pulizia delle camere. Colazione discreta.

Authentic Palermo

At first, I didn't like the location but, then I realized that this is Palermo. Crowded, loud, disorganized and beautiful at the same time. We had a nice view from the balcony and the area is safe. It was fun to watch locals, their everyday life. Yes, laundry was hanging everywhere and Sicilians are kind of loud. It is not an area where you can see many tourists. The hotel was clean and the staff very helpful. Decent breakfast, nice bathrooms. I couldn't ask for more but, I would rather stay somewhere a little closer to the old town. FYI, there is no parking but, you can park for 8 euros a day in a garage 3 min from the hotel. We got lucky one day and found a parking spot right by the hotel but, don't count on it.

Ok for a short stay

My overall experience was positive, since the hotel is clean and the staff nice and welcoming. Nevertheless, it's very complicate to reach the hotel by car since it's located in a narrow street always packed with cars and mopeds. This part of Palermo is humble and dirty and not so close to the centre. I wouldn't recommend it just because of the location.

Hotel bien situé près de la gare de Palerme centrale. Un peu loin du centre ville mais este accessible à pieds.

Les chambres sont calmes car ne donnent pas sur la rue, ce qui permet de dormi la fenêtre ouverte en été .

Basic, but fine

Had a very brief stay here; less than twelve hours. The bedroom was basic but clean, as was the bathroom. Our room was on the third floor; WiFi was pretty much non-existent. Breakfast was very sparse. However the service was excellent; we checked in very late and the lovely man who checked us in was full of recommendations about the neighbourhood and about Palermo in general. This B&B was well-located; very close to the railway station. Not luxurious by any means but fine for our purposes, really.

Posizione ottima per visitare la città

La zona non si presenta bene ma una volta abituati non ci si fa più caso. E' però comodo perchè vicino al centro di Palermo che è raggiungibile in pochi minuti. La camera era molto grande e spaziosa. Purtroppo però il wi fi in camera non prende bene. Bisognerebbe migliorarlo. Il parcheggio in zona è libero e va a fortuna. Pulito, silenzioso.

Das Hotel liegt etwas versteckt in einer kleinen Seitenstraße. Eher ruhige Lage. Der Eingang ist etwas vesteckt. Vom Bahnhof aus sehr gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Es ist geräumiger als es von außen aussieht. Die Zimmer sind groß und die Decke ist sehr hoch. Das Bad war neu gemacht. Zum Frühstück gab es hauptsächlich Kuchen und Obst und frischen Kaffee.
