Loved our stay at Ballarooms Experience.
The B&B was in a very central position close to Ballaro market and was very comfortable- we even had a sauna in our room!
Mariella served a lovely breakfast in her other B&B 5 minutes walk from where we were staying.
Based on reviews I canceled my hotel and booked this B&B and boy am I glad! It was even better than expected. Easy check in instructions, central location, super clean, and great breakfast. The host helped me figure out transport to Catania and gave excellent dinner recommendations. Highly recommend!
Great B and B right in the midst of the historic district. Short walk to restaurants, bars, shops, monuments etc. The hostess was wonderful and welcoming. Room was stunning, clean and provided a kettle and coffee machine. Fridge had water for the guests as well.
Good air conditioning and quite quiet at night. Reasonable cost for a good place in the city.
Safe and clean location that is a short walk to the train and bus stations. Beautiful interior, very spacious with a really nice bathroom.
Breakfast offered a wide variety to cater to your every need.
Excellent location. Room was spotless, hosts were superb. Breakfast was lovely and air conditioning was a luxury i couldn't do without. I would definitely recommend 10/10
Mariella was excellent helping us access the room and answering our questions. Room is beautiful and well laid out with plenty of space and even a sauna for your private use!
Breakfast is in a different location but only 2 mins walk and was good quality, as was the coffee. We were able to leave our bags while enjoyed the city until we left in the evening. All in all a great value option in central Palermo, off one of the main streets (Via Maqueda) and 5 mins from the Fontana Pretoria and piazza Cuarto Canti.
Very comfortable. Mariella and Marianna were so kind and accommodating to let me check in early.
This is at a great location, steps away from the Ballarò Markets but not noisy, still tucked in its own quiet space. Central enough that you can come back and rest and cool down in between doing your sightseeing around Palermo.
Breakfast was good (it was at a different location but not a bother), room was very comfortable, great amenities/toiletries as well. Even had a sewing kit which i found quite helpful.
The host was great in sending me check-in instructions (including videos!) when my flight was delayed. This made it easier to find the apt even through it was getting dark. Ballarooms Experience is 4 separate ensuite rooms that share a kitchen/dining room. Ballarooms B&B is a couple of blocks away (<4 min walk) and where you have breakfast. This could be better explained during the booking process and is really the ONLY reason I did not give it an "excellent" rating. Breakfast was generous and varied and the location of both Experience and B&B couldn't have been more convenient to sights and transportation.
We used Ballarooms twice : at the beginning of our trip for a few nights and at the end of our trip, before catching our flight.
Both stays were absolutely outstanding.
Mariella is a wonderful host, very caring and very attentive to her guests. And her breakfasts are exceptional !
Newly renovated rooms. Our hostess Marinella was very helpful. Breakfast was in her other location and was easy to find.
Everything was clean and new.
Central location. A short distance from the train station.
We stayed for 3 nights in the Olive Room.
All was great and perfect.
Room and bathroom were spotless and pleasant, newly and beautifully decorated.
Bed was very comfortable and the room was very quiet.
Mariella is a wonderful and generous host and her breakfasts were as great as she is.
Can’t recommend enough her B&B.
Mariella and her team were absolutely lovely! I could tell she works really really hard to do her best to cater to everyone’s wishes. She made a conscious effort to accommodate my allergy at breakfast, and I’m super thankful for that. We stayed in the wine-room, which even had a jacuzzi! The room was clean and the beds were made every day. The towels were changed after 2 nights, and the tea and coffee station in the room was refreshed every day.
There were two small problems with the mini-fridge and the wall beneath the AC, but honestly, we found a solution and it wasn’t a bother. I really enjoyed our stay here!
Amazing host and great location. They will reach out to you before your trip - do NOT ignore these messages - You will need the check-in information before you get there. I did ignore the messages and they were SO polite and accommodating at my last minute chaos. Breakfast is a short walk through the marketplace. Do NOT miss it. It is so special. I am gluten free and the hostess made several dishes for me - each one amazing! Would absolutely stay here again and again.
I did not have time for breakfast. Mariella was a great host: receptionist was very welcoming. I enjoyed the quiet time before my flight. I did lose a boots I might contact Mariella to send money to send me the boat I lost if she has it: but great stay and location in Palermo
I want to start by saying that the hosts are absolutely some of the kindest people I have met in Palermo. They were incredibly helpful, attentive, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making our stay enjoyable.
It may have been my own oversight for not paying closer attention to the lack of an elevator and the type of accommodation this is. The rooms themselves were very clean, tastefully decorated, and offered excellent value for the price. However, our room was one of only a handful located within an older building that appeared to be a converted apartment rather than a traditional hotel.
The location was convenient for exploring Palermo, but as a woman travelling with a young boy, I sometimes felt a little uncomfortable returning late at night due to the dark, narrow side streets in the immediate area. That said, this may simply have been because we were unfamiliar with the neighbourhood.
Overall, if you are younger, travelling on a budget, and looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay, I would definitely recommend it. The rooms are well maintained, the value is excellent, and the hosts are truly exceptional.
Amazing place to stay in the centre of the historic centre . Fabulous accommodation, clean , safe , and comfortable bed . Mariella is a fabulous host . Breakfast served 3 mins walk away in the main BB . A fabulous selection of food savoury and sweet . Everything was perfect . Grazie Mille
My husband and I had a great experience at this rental. It’s more like a B&B with a host. Our hostess was very communicative and helpful and prepared an amazing breakfast at the other Ballarooms property (less than 5 minutes away). It was great having A/C to combat the heat. Our room was spacious, with lots of room to spread out, and the bathroom was clean and functional.
