This is a great hotel, with good and nice staff, great breakfast, the room was unbeatable, it is very close to the royal palace and the main attractions of Palermo. Nonetheless, the area (2 blocks around the hotel), is dirty and not too nice. Other than that, it is a great hotel.

Je ferais 2 parties pour donner mon avis car me concernant je n'ai pas du tout aimé cet hôtel mais il y a tout de même des points positifs.
Points negatifs: nous avons attendu une heure pour avoir notre chambre très vétuste fuite de la douche du lavabo et de la climatisation. Douche trop petite. Hôtel trop bruyant car les chambres ne sont pas insonorisées. Situé à 1km200 de la cathédrale.
Points positifs: personnel très sympathique. Petit déjeuner bon et varié. Possibilité de stationner son vehicule dans un parking fermé mais attention vite rempli

Hôtel fantastique, accueil génial.
Chambre avec vue extraordinaire sur la vallée des temples.
Époustouflant.
Encore merci à toute l’équipe de l’hôtel pour préserver un tel endroit : beau, raffiné et avec plein de signes sur la tradition sicilienne !

CHAMBRE - Nous avons profité d'une chambre pour 4, alors que nous étions 2
Personnellement nous avons trouvé la literie mauvaise- Impossible d'avoir un sommeil reparateur
Propreté impeccable
SALLE DE BAIN - des serviettes pour une personne, alors que nous étions 2 - Chaque personne doit avoir sa propre serviette de bain- 1 seul gel douche - prevoir de l'adoucissant pour cheveux
REPAS - nous avons eu l'occasion de diner à l'hotel - Très bon rapport Qualité / Prix
PETIT DEJEUNER - excellent et varié. Manque charcuterie et fromage
PERSONNEL - charmant, gentil, très disponible que ce soit à l'accueil ou au restaurant
GARAGE - une place en sous sol. Garage fermé . un peu de marche à pied pour rejoindre le centre.
disons que c'est bon pour la santé. Nous avons fait le trajet Aller/Retour en journée, et je vous assure il n'y a aucune crainte

Lite gammalt o slitet hotel, men rent. Med bra läge, vi gick ned och hem från centrala Palermo varje dag. Bra med säker parkering i garage. Frukosten var helt ok.

Struttura soddisfacente a poca distanza dal centro. La doccia con la tenda è poco igienico e scomodo.
