We had two rooms for 5 days. Perfect location in the middle of Palermo. Santos is very friendly and speak English very well. The rooms are very clean and spacious. We had the room with the view to the cathedral. Very nice view to wake up to in the morning. We had a rental car and manage to find parking in the surrounding neighbourhood. We had several day trips from Palermo. We can highly recommend to stay here. Did I forget to mention the best ice cream in Sicily is just around the corner. The only thing that we missed in our room was a smal water cooker to make coffee/the in our room.
Kind Regards Stolle family 🇩🇰

We loved the location of the property. We had arrived early and the room was ready if we wanted to pay extra but we decided not to. The location is what sold the property to us- very convenient as we were only there for one night and wanted to see as much as we could. There’s lots of restaurants and bars nearby as well as little shops and of course the cathedral is opposite and we had a lovely view of it from our room.

Nice week in very noisy place
The place is nice and the location is great. The view on the cathedral is beautiful and the room is clean. The staff is nice, although at first sight they seemed a bit unwelcoming. It was clear they were just busy. Later, they were nice. However, the room needs significant improvement concerning noise isolation. It was impossible to sleep. A lot of voices from people outside. Once they finished there was heavy noise, something like restaurants cleaning up or preparing for the day after and street cleaning. It continued all the night. I think it’s a good place for heavy sleepers. For all the others, I would not recommend it.

The location was ideal. It was very clean, quiet and the owner was friendly.
Our room did not have a city view or any real view at all. The window was in one corner with an air conditioning pipe going through it.
The toilet had a pump system which was noisy and the shower tray filled very quickly. The beds were comfortable and the room was cleaned daily. Overall it was good but would have been even better if we'd had a window with a view.

Location was good. However every morning very noisy as it is right next to a school, where teenagers congregate in the mornings.
The property is beside the cathedral, with a short walk to the Royal Palace and other sights. The Central Station is about a 10min walk. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Property was in an excellent location but it doesn’t have elevators and it was on a very uncomfortable second level with narrow stairs, so going up and down was uncomfortable

Central, but noisy
Great location, but very noisy rooms. The B&B is located at a secondary school ovelooking their outdoor gym/play area.
Breakfast at nearby cafe - vouchers coveret approxh half the costs.
When we arrived you had to walk up a narrow staircase. The person that checked us in didn’t offer to help with our luggage. The narrow staircase was very difficult to go up with our luggage. I almost fell backwards several times.
It was so noisy that it was very difficult to fall asleep through out the night. Around 7 am the noise started even more louder. Monday and Tuesday children were going to school and the noise from them was really bad. When they started school you heard from the floor above us like furniture dragging across the floor.
Checking out again no offer to help with our luggage. Would not stay there again. Would not recommend it!
Location is prefect but property sound proof is non existing. Very noisy in the morning.
The staff and service is disappointing. Informed arrival time but no one was there. Need to message and call but still no reply. Need to wait at entrance for 15 mins.
Later was asked to pay cash and said credit card payment not working. When mentioned I don’t have enough cash, the staff requested me to go withdraw cash from machine.
Total paid is more than what quoted in Expedia website. And never return change as in assuming “keep the change” although it is not much but should have return the change and only keep it if the guest say so.
Overall bad experience
Le petit déjeuner se fait dans un bar plus loin il n’y a pas de fenêtre avec vu dans la chambre . Notre avion avait du retard nous avons payé un supplément car nous sommes arrivés après 22h . Par contre le patron nous a proposé des taxis ce qui est appréciable
Romslig og pent rom. Fantastisk beliggenhet i hjertet av gamlebyen. Hjelpsom og vennlig vert.

Très bien situé mais un peu bruyant
Hébergement au cœur du centre historique, très central. La chambre est propre et confortable, bien que mal insonorisée (de l’extérieur et des bruits de tuyauterie intérieurs)
Todo estuvo muy bien. Teniamos una habitación muy bonita con balcon y vista a la plaza de la catedral. El b&b era tranquilo. Santo nos tuvo muchísima paciencia el primer día esperándonos para dejar nuestras valijas antes de hora y luego a la noche para hacer el check in.
La zona es muy linda y muy tranquila de noche, a diferencia de otras zonas de Palermo.
Affacciata alla Cattedrale di Palermo all'interno di una vivissima isola pedonale la struttura è risultata centrale rispetto ai luoghi che volevamo visitare senza alcun bisogno di auto, ci ritorneremo.
Hotellets läge vid katedralen är mycket bra. I centrum men på den del av den långa huvudgatan som är lugn om kvällarna. Nära till allt som museer, marknader, restauranger, frukostställen osv. Rent och fint på rummet. Bra att ha tillgång till kyl i det gemensamma köket.
Il B&B e' in posizione strategica, con vista sulla cattedrale e accesso dalla piazza. Vicino alla stazione Palazzo Reale-Orleans e raggiungibile con il treno dall'aeroporto. Centrale e comodissimo per tutte le visite principali della citta. La camera, con bagno incluso, e' spaziosa, ordinata e pulita.
Gutes Hotel mitten in Palermo Altstadt. Alles schnell erreichbar. Sauber schöne Zimmer. Nettes Empfang und gute Beratung. Preis ist unschlagbar.
Wer Ruhe sucht ist hier falsch. Frühstück würde ich empfehlen vor die Tür zu gehen. Alles in unmittelbarer Näher. Bestes Kaffee und Snacks (süß oder herzhaft). Wenn wir kommen gern wieder.
