Porta de Castro was a wonderful stay. The only thing is if you want quiet, the street it is located on is busy and quite a bit of honking. Didn’t bother me, popped in some ear buds at night. The breakfast and staff were amazing!!! I felt very welcomed and the staff helped me with any questions, plus lots of suggestions on what to do in the areas. Very convenient to walk to almost any place, including the train station.

What a breakfast
The hotel was brilliant. They welcomed us with a little snack and a drink. Breakfast was out of this world. Staff were very pleasant and very helpful. Could not have asked for more. Well done you guys. A lovely hotel very bright and well presented. The only slight downside is the location is a little dirty. However it is close to the attractions like the cathedral i would not walk back in the middle of the night. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Excelent staff!
A lovely little hidden gem that my husband and I had the pleasure of staying for the last 4 days. The hotel is walkable distance to lots of the tourist attractions and the train station. The staff are fantastic, and seem to really care about making your experience as enjoyable as possible. Everything from booking taxis and table reservations. They are on hand to help. Breakfast is in abundance with so much of their locally sourced items like their pie and canoli. And it's yummy! The beds are very comfortable and the hotel is very funky and unique. There is a nice touch of a welcome basket and the self service water tap. There are some parts of the building that are original behind glass, that absolutely adds to the character. The spa is lovely and the massages are fantastic. I highly recommend getting one. You can really feel that the owners heart has gone into this building. It's a truly lovely hotel that I would return to over and over again. Thank you for a fantastic stay

Very centrally located. This is a very stylish boutique hotel with very interesting and original interior design features. In spite of being really central in a densely populated part of Palermo there was an attractive small outdoor swimming pool and parking for a car. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were incredibly generous and tasty and they even provided a 'doggy bag' to take some of the food away for a picnic lunch.

This is a wonderful place to stay. I traveled alone and everyone was very helpful. The property is beautiful—it was once a church and still has some of the original beautiful details. The staff are all terrific—a special shout-out to Romina who welcomed me and to Rosanna for seeing me off. I highly recommend Porta di Castro.

The staff at this small hotel make the stay worthwhile. Every member of the team was delightful and helpful. The property itself is old, worn and expensive for what is offered. Our room had no comfortable chair and the tiny desk was covered with a TV and other stuff so it wasn't a workable work space. The rooms look much nicer than they are. The place needs a makeover. But keep every staff member!

Cool artsy hotel
Really enjoyed our stay. Owner, hosts, service and breakfasts were great. Room very comfortable. Hotel decor is very eclectic/bohemian. Location is good for those who like to walk … if new to area, difficult driving and locating hotel. Don’t recommend car rental. Really get a taste of Palermo living. Loved it ❤️❤️❤️

We LOVED staying at the Porta di Castro, very beautiful property with attention to detail. The staff were amazing, so helpful and knowledgeable and always greeted you with a smile. They made you feel like family. The property is very central to all the shops and attractions. You must try the spa its relaxing and so tranquil. The pool is prefect for a quick dip to refresh after a day of sightseeing or just to unwind, especially in the summer months. The breakfast is plentiful as well and delicious with lots of variety.

They had valet underground parking that was perfect. The room was clean and they upgraded us free of charge. Overall, we had an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this hotel.
