Room was clean and comfortable. We wanted a one night stay near the train station so this was fine for one night. If we were to spend more nights we may choose accommodations in an another area as it was located on a busy street. The elevator was not working so we had to walk up 70 steps to get to our room.

Marco was pleasant and responsive. I didn't know it was not a standalone hotel though and I arrived in town early so had to wait several hours before I could get access. When I did Marco was accommodating. That was appreciated.
He also refunded me because I over paid the guest tax, which was great.

This property was not as advertised. The room I was allocated was not at the address I booked. This appeared to be an Airbnb in council housing. Upon arrival, I was extraordinarily disappointed and very nervous to even spend the night. My daughter and I were forced to find alternate accommodation at our expense. I would not recommend this property.

Room was very clean and spacious. The hot tub was fantastic and definitely a nice amenity after a long day of exploring. Building was close to all public transportation and within a short walk to all major Palermo attractions. Would definitely recommend!

We loved how close this was to the train station! We had two rooms across the hall from one another and both were very nice. Very comfortable beds. The host even arranged for a crib for my granddaughter.

Stunning room. Immaculate. Very high ceilings. Bathroom also stunning. New paint. Super comfy bed and pillows. No view from window as unable to open heavy timber shutters. Would have liked some bottled water and tea/coffee facilities. Nothing in the immediate surroundings, but 10 min walk to gorgeous shops, bars, restaurants.

Perfect spot for a city stay!

Great location with easy check-in and an extremely responsive host. The self check-in process made arrival simple and stress-free. The building, a charming historic property with an elevator and a beautiful marble staircase, added to the experience. The apartment included all the promised amenities, like fresh towels, toiletries and an hairdryer. The complimentary water in the fridge was a thoughtful touch and much appreciated after a long journey. The bed was very comfortable with crisp, clean linens, though some of the furniture showed minor wear. Overall, an excellent value for the location and the spacious, well-appointed bathroom. Would happily stay again!

Not too far ftom the train station

The apartment was quite nice. The a/c was a great addition. The apartment was very roomy and quiet comfortable. Walking up the stairs was a bit if a challenge, so if you have big luggage think twice. Outside at night feels a bit dodgy. Would be excellent with a bit more human one on one interaction

Central location, clear check-in instructions and very responsive host. The self check-in was convenient. Building has an elevator and it is a historical building with marble staircase. Property had the amenities as described as clean towels, toiletries, hair drier, safety deposit box, hangers and wine and prosecco glasses. The hosts were nice enough to leave some complimentary water and prosecco in the fridge, which was a welcome treat after a long day of travel. The bed was very comfortable with spotless sheets but the desk and some furniture showed light signs of aging. Overall great value for the location and the spacious bathroom. Would stay again!

The design and interior was lovely. The place was a little dusty and was disappointed that i couldn't open the balcony shutters as it was locked with a chain. There was also some mildew in the shower. I also asked for an extra blanket because I was cold and didn't want to sleep with the heating on to avoid getting sick, but I didn't get a response back or a blanket

During our stay, there was a building-wide power outage. The problem wasn’t the power outage itself, that stuff happens, but the fact that there was no longer a way out of the building. To get into the room, you need to use a key card three times, once at the front door, once at the floor level, and once at your room. We were already inside. If we hadn’t been, we would have had no way in. The main problem is that we had no way out. Our room door and floor door, we could exit with a manual switch. The main front door had no manual way to exit. We were trapped inside. This is very dangerous and needs to be rectified for future guests. The power was out for 2.5 hours, in which we couldn’t leave. You need to have battery back-up for those door readers AND you need a way to exit the building. That’s a huge fire hazard.

The room itself was very nice, but I can’t overlook the safety issue.

We arrived after dark via the airport shuttle bus, coming from stays in Bologna and Venice, and upon the very first impression, the neighborhood by the bus terminal and train station felt a bit worn and slightly sketchy. But once we got into the room, which felt comfortable and grand at the same time due to the sheer volume of space (I don’t know how high the ceilings are, but it felt like 20 feet) and got onto the Wi-Fi, we found a great local restaurant and had a wonderful dinner. The property was very convenient to the main attractions of Palermo, and the staff was very accommodating.

The apartment is spacious and would be good for self catering. The air con works well. It’s high enough to lose some street noise from the busy area around but this is Palermo and high traffic levels. Dealing with the owner remotely by WhatsApp worked but they could do with offering a brief to guests in advance about entry procedure which otherwise seems vaguely left to contact when you arrive. The old lift worked well but this property could be limited access (as seemingly is Palermo in general )for anyone with disabilities. (We are able bodied just a thought though)

CONS:
- the room is advertised as soundproof rooms. We could hear everybody in the rooms and also the traffic and works on the streets.
- the aircon was not working and it was extremely hot. Also it was too noise.
- I never found the bar/breakfast area. When I asked the woman that was cleaning the rooms she didn’t know so we had to go to a bar in the street for a coffee.
- the inside wardrobes were very old and dirty and the bed cover inside was filthy.
- No service at the front desk so difficult to ask for extra information.
- the building is very, very old and ugly, but this is very a personal opinion.

PROS:
- Access to WhatsApp assistance was easy but if you arrive almost at 12 because your flight is delayed, you don’t want to be bothering people. That’s on everyone’s own standard of course.
- the actual room and the toilet were very clean.
- the location was close to everything.
- the person we spoke on WhatsApp didn’t charged us the tourism tax as I didn’t have cash when I left and neither the 2 waters we had from the fridge.
- I pay €50 for one night room so you get what you pay.

Its a room in an old apartment building. There's crappy right street parking, the numbers on the building aren't clear and this particular one is missing the last number. You have to message this guy when you get there to buzz the front door, its creepy and poorly lit when you walk in. You have to take at least 10 stairs to get to where the lift starts and its shady. Then message the guy again to buzz you in to the next door then message the guy again to buzz you into the next door. The hot tub was nice except it was a museum of other people's hair.

This was a very nice B&B and the only reason I don't give it an excellent rating is because the neighborhood is not very nice. It is very close to the train and bus station, literally right behind it, only about a 5 minute walk but the neighborhood looks scarier than what it is but even so it can be intimidating at times. Also it is very convenient being next to the train station if you will be taking lots of train trips but if you are not, I think it will be much better to stay near Via Roma or closer to the Centro Storico because from this property it is quite a walk!

The room lived up to the photography. It was contemporary and clean, but it is in a very old apartment building which has not had the same extensive rehab. The entrance was not very appealing. We could never get the elevator to work and had to carry our own luggage up three flights of stairs past an apartment with bird noises coming from it. There was no human face-to-face contact except for breakfast delivery. When we arrived we had to press a buzzer and talk through an intercom. I found that cold and actually kind of creepy. All other communication was via What's App. We could not find any appealing restaurants in the general area. The young man who delivered our breakfast took our payment for the room and when we asked for a receipt he wrote it on a Post-It.

My wife and I booked the romantic suite, and it was lovely. The suite was beautiful and very clean, with a large jacuzzi tub and separate shower with an overhead rainshower fixture. Breakfast each morning was delicious...the breads and pastries, amazing. The hosts were wonderful and took good care of our needs and answered all of our questions. The room was quiet and you could not hear any city noise, at all. There is a lift up to the room, after you climb a short staircase. The neighborhood surrounding the property was fine, and we walked at night to eat and look around. Overall, a very positive experience that I would recommend.

Palermo accommodation gem!

What a room, especially the generous bathroom, a rarity in Europe. The hosts Davide and Andrea were welcoming and veey helpful. At checkout, they gifted us a photographic image on canvas of the Teatro Massimo - how sweet! The accommodation is well located, just around the corner from the bus station. The short way is down a minor road so do get in touch with Andrea or Davide for detailed steps to get there if needed.

The rooms were modern and very comfortable - the only comment I would make was that we arrived late in the evening and it was a little daunting to find our way into the property. We also did not realise it was on the third floor and although it had a lift, because someone left the doors open on another floor we could not use it when we arrived. Our host, when we met him the next day was very attentive and overall we were very pleased.

First time in Palermo, I chose this B&B on the beautiful pictures alone, looked like a 4*. The flats are newly renovated in a very old building (an owner on the 2nd floor has lots of birds which is charming). The building has one of those lovely rickety lifts which you can access on the first floor.

Contacted Davide before I left and we corresponded using What's app for convenience. I gave an expected time which was an hour earlier than check in which Davide confirmed was fine. There are big wooden doors with the flats buzzer to the right.

The rooms where superb for the price, clean, modern minimalist with little pieces of art. Decor reminded me of the Soho chain in (London and Istanbul) Big memory foam mattress and pillows, surprisingly comfortable. Has a tv, however satellite programmes didn't work but if you have other devices you don't need tv with free wifi. Shower was fab, lots of power like a wet room with a little seat built in.

It has a hairdryer but bring your own as it's like little kittens blowing on you. Little mini fridge, breakfast table with chairs if needed. Breakfast was €9 euros which you should order, however Davide was kind enough to make something after I felt hungry one morning, superb coffee, fresh bread etc.

Other room occupiers where polite and respectful, slept really well, it was so dark and quiet. I would highly recommend to other solo travellers. Davide was kind professional and respectful.

Modern apartment, but non working AC

The apartment was spacious and the checkin was quick and easy. However, the \"air condition\" almost did not work. We had it at the coolest setting, but the room stayed at 27 degrees Celsius throughout the night. When I contacted the owner, he tried to help to solve the problem, but we concluded that since it is a fancoil and not real AC, he was unable to help. It couldn’t get colder.

Also, the apartments was in a really old building with a sketchy elevator.

Except from that, the apartment itself was nice.
