Be ready for noisy neighborhood
The owners are accommodating. The location being next to a market and a popular club/bar makes it noisy at night. The travelers should be ready for it.

not go back, ask to pay twice
we stay for 3 nights. check in took over30 mins because the host said we had not paid, but in fact i showed him the confirmarion e maik that had paid by credit card in full.
he wants us to pay once more, he said our card had a problem and he had sent us a mail indivedually to get our card code.
nonsense.
the neighourhoid is terrible. african population with a very very loud bar at night
I went to Sicily to visit Palermo, Catania, Corleone and climb up to the Etna. I wanted to book only one hotel room in Palermo. Hotel Cortese is in the downtown and you can get a feeling about "real" Palermo. A family runs a hotel and they are very very friendly even if they do not speak English. But do not worrie won't be any language problem :) I rented a car to go away after I explored Palermo. They gave me a garage which was very cheap. But do not rent big car, the big car is a suicide in Palermo :) All in all I enjoyed very much the stay at Hotel Cortese. Thank you very much for the staff.
è stata una bella esperienza sicuramente da replicare. la struttura è semplice ma buona e in ottima posizione per visitare la città e le zone più belle

Au cœur du vieux Palerme
A côté du marché et des activités nocturnes , proche de beaucoup de monuments et centre d'intérêt , point faible circulation en voiture proche de l'hôtel
L'hotelier nous a accueilli le premier soir en peignoir... Faites attention à la réservation. Sur la notre; la salle de bain/wc devaient être privés alors que sur celle de l' hôtelier la salle de bain /wc privés ne figuraient pas. Il n'a rien souhaité entendre. Il est venu dans notre chambre pour nous la fermer à clef! Ce n'est pas une blague!!!! Il nous a dit pour les toilettes c'est sur le palier et pour la salle de bain,c'est au dernier étage. Elle est commune et il n'y a pas de clef pour fermer
Das Hotel ist einfach, aber das, was man in der Kategorie erwartet, findet man auch vor. Das Personal war freundlich. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Ggf. könnten sich Lärmempfindliche durch die zentrale Lage und umgebende Kneipen gestört fühlen. Insgesamt für einen Städtetrip empfehlenswert.

Tutto sommato non male
Il personale é stato accogliente e riservato. La posizione é centrale ma non ispira sicurezza. L'hotel é carino,arredato forse un po' anticamente,bagno piccolissimo;dispone di garage privato a pagamento. Nota negativa per la colazione,scarsa.
Hotel bien situé au centre historique de Palerme mais aux alentours particulièrement bruyant (musique de bars jour/nuit). Amateurs de calme abstenez vous.
Se vi piace vivere un'esperienza nel cuore di un quartiere come Ballarò allora questo è l'hotel per voi, carino e conveniente.

Centrale e conveniente
Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, ottima posizione, piacevole accoglienza e servizi di buon livello. Come si può immaginare, trovandosi nella zona di Ballarò, non è facilissimo da raggiungere ed è spesso esposto a rumori e musiche ad alto volume di vario genere, fino a ora tarda.

Banal
Hôtel plutôt vieillot. Petit-déjeuner insipide. Par contre, le wifi dans la chambre fonctionne correctement et l'hôtel est assez bien placé pour visiter la vielle ville, à coté d'un marché.

Mooie locatie in een levendige buurt
Ontbijt mag wat uitgebreider, stokbrood met alleen jam is niet genoeg
Bon accueil. Chambre correcte avec clim. et petit-déjeuner (très correct)inclus dans le prix. Le quartier peut être malfamé le soir ou la nuit mais dans la journée, ça va.
Rigtig god beliggenhed i henhold til seværdigheder, men ikke et helt rart område efter mørkets frembrud og meget larmende om natten. Virkelig søde mennesker og højt servicen niveau. De snakker ikke engelsk, men gør deres bedste for at gøre sig forståelige og er meget imødekommende. Jeg kunne sagtens finde på at vælge stedet igen og følte at jeg oplevede noget ægte Palermo ved at være der. Værelserne er fine og rene og der er massere at lys og luft (god aircondition). Jeg vil anbefale det og synes det er virkelig godt til prisen.
