Old Glamour hotel needs an overhaul.
It was so so. The reception staff was great and the breakfast very good. Dinner also was good and staff nice. The condition of the hotel is run down, carpets are filthy, wallpaper peeling and tacked on with thumb tacks in places! You can see that it was at one time a beautiful hotel, it has the old world glamour. But it desperately needs to be painted, new carpets and general clean up would do this property a great service. Lots of street noise at night and a good half hour walk to the old town for tourist attractions.

Solid Value Hotel
A good value hotel in Palermo. A bit of a walk (15-20 minutes) to the historic centre, but a good location overall. Hotel is a bit tired in spots, but still retains much of the elegance of its earlier days. Staff were, without exception, helpful and friendly.

Great hotel and staff!
From the moment we arrived, the staff did everything to make us welcome. Marco at the reception counter went above and beyond to help find the perfect restaurants for us. Check in was easy. Breakfast was included in our reservation and the selection was excellent. Hotel is walking distance from everything we wanted to see. Great Hotel. The only complaint was the ac did not work too well in our room.

Very Disappointing
We stayed here for one night for our wedding anniversary and were very disappointed. The least you expect from an hotel is cleanliness and our room was far from clean. On entering the room we were overwhelmed by the heat so set about opening the window. However, there was only a skylight, no windows even though we had booked a courtyard view room. We then attempted to adjust the air con but unfortunately, it was not working properly. Looking around the room we found the carpet to be black with dust around the edges and to have a number of stains. The furniture had seen better days and the stool had a broken leg. With this we went to reception and asked for a room with the courtyard view that we booked. We were given a key to another room that was a little better but not much. However, it was not with courtyard view but was right over the main road. Again, the room was very warm and the air con didn't work but at least we could let some cool air into the room. The second room was smaller than the first so we were not impressed with the reception staff. Also, the main staircase was not hovered whilst we were there and looked like it had not been hoovered in weeks.

An ok base just don't spend any real time there
The room was clean and comfortable but that's the end of the accolades. No ironing board in room Mini bar not cold Gym just in an open room with no AC in 30C+ heat. These 3 things are basic in my view and should preclude this being a 4*. The place was 'fine' but I wouldn't return.

Hotel was very nice and clean. Air conditioning was cold. Bathrooms very clean. Parking is a little tight as far as finding the right spot, but all went well. Staff was very accommodating. Breakfast was fantastic, food was excellent and again staff was very friendly. Would stay here again anytime.

Don't stay here...
Reserved 2 rooms-turned out to be different prices. One came with breakfast, and the more expensive room didn't. Don't know why?? When brought to the attention of front desk woman, she got angry and started yelling at me for asking such a question, and said that all reservations are not equal. Needless to say, we stopped eating breakfast there, even though one would have been free.

Definitely not a 4 star hotel!!!!
This hotel is in desperate need of safety precautions and renovation! The room (113) I stayed in, apparently was broken into as the side panel of the doorway where it locks was filed down . When brought to the attention of front desk, the woman started yelling at me, saying it was safe. Good thing I had family to stay with the next 2 nights.

Excellent hotel, but a bit noisy
The staff at this hotel were almost as good as they could get. The room was very comfortable, with good adjustable air conditioning. The breakfast was to die for - they couldn't have been anything they had left out. It wasn't cheap ... but it was well worth the price. The foyer was welcoming, with beautiful flower arrangements. There was a gym with exercise equipment (though we didn't use it!). Good restaurant, but rather expensive. Food choice could be wider. There were only three things I would criticise: 1. Our room was on the main road, and there was no double glazing. There were double doors to the balcony, but they didn't fit tightly, and at 5am every morning the birds in the tree outside started, and at 6am the noisy buses stopped at the bus stop opposite. 2. Milk was not provided with the kettle, tea etc, so we had to go down to the bar every couple of days to get a jug of milk. 3. Accessories were not always replaced regularly in the bathroom. One day we ran out of toilet paper and had to call the housekeeper.

We had to ask 2 times for the room to be changed. We booked a premium room but the first one we were given was with no windows (skylight only), the second one was very dark looking to internal walls. some of the staff were very unfriendly.
