I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is just perfect, right in the heart of Palermo overlooking the town square and Palermo Opera House. The service was top-notch with kind and helpful staff. The room smelled fresh and clean, and the view was fantastic. The dining experience was lovely with delicious fresh bread and pastries in the morning. Price-wise, it offered good value for the amenities provided.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated with quality materials, providing a peaceful retreat away from the busy square and streets. The service was outstanding, with the staff being extremely helpful and friendly. The location was perfect for exploring the historical center of the city, and the dining experience was personalized and delicious. However, the room was rather old-fashioned, lacking some modern touches, and the price was a bit on the higher side.

I had a delightful stay at the hotel with spotless and beautifully decorated rooms. The balcony offered a great view of the Teatro Massimo, and the location was perfect for exploring Palermo. The service was exceptional, and the dining experience, although room-service only, was adequate. However, there were minor disappointments with the dining setup and coffee quality.

The hotel was a lovely find in a central part of town, perfect for those wanting a vibrant Palermo experience. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, offering a quiet retreat. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to assist. The dining experience, although tasty, lacked ample space for comfortable dining. Overall, a great choice for a stay with some minor room for improvement.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, as it provided clean and cozy rooms with the added perk of breakfast delivered to your room every morning, overlooking the Teatro Massimo in a perfect central location. While there was a slight smell of smoke or cleaning product in the room, it didn't dampen the overall experience.
