The hotel rooms were very clean and well-appointed, with a small view to the yard surrounded by big buildings. The service was friendly and helpful overall, with a minor issue regarding the minibar episode. The location, although inside a resident neighborhood requiring a minimum 10-minute walk to reach attractions, felt safe and convenient for short breaks. The dining experience was only mediocre, with limited options and cold food at times. The facilities were decent, providing essential services for guests.

The hotel's rooms were spacious and comfortable with an excellent king-size bed, but the overall vibe was drab and depressing. The service was perfect, friendly, and accommodating, offering helpful tips and assistance. The location, while safe and in a nice neighborhood with amenities, required a bit of walking to reach main attractions. The dining experience varied in quality, and the facilities were below standard.

The hotel is located in a nice area of Palermo with private parking but lacks storage space in the rooms. The rooms are extremely outdated and not worth the price, although they are very clean and well-appointed with lovely Ortigya soap and shower wash. The service is helpful and friendly despite some issues with the air conditioning. The dining options are limited, especially for those watching carb or sugar intake. The facilities are decent, with some room for improvement.

7.0/10

The hotel is situated in a new city of Palermo, which is perfect for exploring with plenty of cool restaurants and pastry places around. The rooms could use an update, with a small bathroom and cleanliness concerns. The service was genuinely helpful and caring. The location offers a beautiful setting, but it's a bit far from the historic city center. The dining experience was mixed, with lavish options but limited service hours. Overall, a good choice in a nice neighborhood.
