We stayed here in May 2025 and had a great time. The room was big and well equipped, but the best part was breakfast on the picturesque terrace (and happy hour there too!). The hotel is also in a good location, roughly a 10 minute walk from the historic centre ( which is good as the centre can get quite crowded!).

Great location and views across the rear gardens

Great location and super breakfast with great views towards the mountains from restaurant balcony. Had room just below on 3 floor with great views from back of hotel over the rooftops. Room was plainly decorated but great space and good sized bathroom. No uk TV channels, only Italian! This was only downside, but internet was good if you bring your own laptop. Could do with kettle and tea facilities also.

Properly my worst booking ever! This Hotel is small, lovely with nice rooms, which are clean and needle, so fare so good and the. It’s ends, sadly. It’s position on a second road til the harbour front, NO sea view at all. It has a very noise road just outside belows the rooms, cars, motorbikes, scooters run by your rooms all even until 03.00 am! And streetcleaning and the renovation teams do have their run around 04.00 AM - it’s totally impossible to get a nights sleep unless you sleep as if you are dead! Further to this our television would not turn off, called the reception at 10.00 pm asking for help which not could be provided as he was alone on duty.. or yes in 1 hour at 11 pm maybe… Solution we unplugged the powersupply by our selfies. This hotel is overpriced hugely and will not ever by visited again, ever.

Located near to the port & only a short walk to the Via Vittorio Emanuele to start the daily sightseeing through the historic city of Palermo. Nice choice of breakfast each morning & wonderful view from the roof balcony where the breakfast will be served. Double bed rooms by typical italian style & give a plenty of space for two people. Bathroom as well... Clean up every day - great. Grazie mille....

Overall the stay was good. The hotel itself is beautiful and room was beautiful and spacious. We liked that breakfast was available each morning and was delicious. I reserved spa services as well as a massage during our stay and it was so relaxing. A few things that could have been better during our stay: The pillows were very flat, but the brochure in the room states you can order more pillows as needed, which we did. The bed isn't very soft, but it was a great size. The room had AC, but it can be controlled by the front desk. When we first arrived, we couldn't control the thermostat and had to call the desk to turn it on. We also realized that nearly every time we left the property, they would turn the AC off and restrict our access to it upon arrival each time. We had to call the front desk on multiple occasions to turn it back on. Not listing this as a complaint, as the AC worked great when it was on, just letting other visitors know how it may work when arriving. We also found the street outside our patio to be a bit noisy early in the mornings, but not so bad that it disturbed our sleep. The hotel was in a great location for shopping and dining, easily doable for walking. It's also located close to the coast, so it was nice to take a stroll and see the ocean. I would recommend staying here, just be sure to reach the brochure in your room for details about your stay.

Shower was clogged, flooded the bathroom and room. Called front desk for assistance for flooding twice and front desk said no staff available at night, must fix next day. It Took two days to fix. Managment never offered to change room. Key card was defective, every day had to get it replaced. Electronic lock was non responsive so Management had to give me turn key three times. Room comes with towel heater, but feature in room 104 never works. Maintenance looked at it three times and never could fix it. Towel Heater never worked! Room is heated by ventilation system. You control the room temperature, but when turned on the vent makes loud noise. Hard to sleep when heater or AC is turned on. It is too loud. Problem with AC system. Spa cost extra to enter, services cost extra. Even during off season I could not get a reservation (and it was my birthday).
