Grand Hotel Piazza Borsa

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is in a perfect location to be visiting the city. It is a beautiful building. Serena one of the wait staff was very helpful and everybody in the restaurant was extremely friendly and professional. The only thing that may detract was they allow smoking in the lobby area. This is our second time staying there and loved it. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. Staff speaks English which is helpful."

Alma Hotel

Alma Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderfully helpful staff. For Europe, very spacious room. Well furnished. Be aware that this property is like other Italian hotels with lobby on 2nd floor, not a large main lobby that Americans might be used to. There is an elevator, so bags don’t have to be lugged up multiple flights of stairs. Would certainly recommend Alma."

Hotel Politeama

Hotel Politeama

10/10 Excellent
"We booked a suite with wraparound balcony. Suite was lovely, cannot fault it at all. Views over Palermo were amazing and when sleeping the windows blocked out the noise of the bustling city. Maids came when needed and did a fantastic job. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed the continental breakfast selection. Location was perfect, not far from the historical centre and massimo teatro but far enough away for anyone wanting a slightly quieter base to explore. Palermo is a great city. It’s gritty in places, but the architecture, streets and piazza’s are also very beautiful. Restaurants and bars we went to were excellent. The people couldn’t be more friendlier, especially when they saw we were making a little effort to speak basic Italian (albeit poorly!). Although most spoke excellent English. One point I would make, it was extremely hot (early Sept) and when going back we would visit later in year (October). The hotel does have (much-needed) aircon which meant heat was only an issue when outside. Overall, brilliant city break and the hotel helped make it an unforgettable trip. Grazie mille!!"
