Seccagrande Vacation Packages

This place is great except for curb appeal of the building it is in! It looks run down and not appealing first impression. But once you go inside it’s very nice and better than many hotels in the area and entire Italy frankly! Friendly helpful staff, close proximity to temples, good eateries downstairs and FREE parking makes this a great B&B for those driving travelers to the area.

Seeing Palermo is a once in a lifetime experience. Eurostars Centrale Palace is in a once grand "building" and visiting here is a true traveling back in time. This Sicilian 4 star hotel does not equal a US 4 star standard and may not meet expectations. The hotel is located in old town that is very much reserved for tourists with prices to match. It is in a very busy pedestrian walking center that is active and alive until after midnight each night. Hotel staff was very accomodating and they did try their.best within limits. Some staff members did not speak fluent English therefore be prepared to seek assistance multiple times or be ready to resolve your own issues with a smile.

Really excellent hotel in all respects. Porter comes to meet car and take baggage. Check in staff really friendly and helpful and show to room in person- in fact all staff were the same. We had small garden suite with shady garden area and superb room. Super comfortable bed and lovely strong shower. Fantastic roof terrace for lunch/dinner overlooking Valley of Temples - unbelievable views especially when lit up at night. Food is gourmet standard and even breakfast is cooked to order rather than buffet - great! Lovely pool and gardens too. In fact I have to say this is one of the best hotels I have stayed in which is saying a lot. Will be recommending to all my friends and family and hope to return one day.

Great location and very friendly staffs

This is a 5-star hotel, but for 2 reasons, it’s not operating at the 5-star level. To be fair, let me list the good things first. The physical plant is excellent. The room looks and feels brand new. Everything is top notch and works flawlessly. It is spacious, with high ceiling, and a very comfortable bed. The rest of the building is also in excellent condition, not to mention the gorgeous design. Now for the 2 flaws. The 1st problem is the location. It is a good location but to reach the historic center, there’s still a 15-20 minute walk through a busy part of town. Moreover, there isn’t a lot of space on the sidewalk in front of the hotel. For a hotel of this caliber, one expects a grand entrance of some sort. Not only is there no such thing, it’s almost dangerous right in front of the hotel. The narrow sidewalk is taken up by parked vehicles so that pedestrians essentially have to walk in the streets with cars and buses zipping by. This is not the hotel’s fault. It’s everywhere like this in Palermo, nonetheless, this is unexpected for such a high class establishment. Then there’s the service. It’s decent but spotty. Once at breakfast, I asked for tea. The 1st server completely forgot. The 2nd brought hot water but not the tea bags. I had to ask a third one. Eventually, the teabags were brought but no apology was offered. There is turn-down service but inexplicably, one my last evening, there was none. Someone did knock at my door to ask if the room was OK. Strange!
