The room was very clean. The hot tub was very nice to have in the room, took a while to fill but I think the adjoining room was filling up at the same time. The staff were very friendly accommodating and helpful. Easy walking distance to the attractions and historic district. The street was very busy but very interesting to people watch. Amenities were great in a common area and some very interesting antiques in the shared areas. Would definitely recommend.

the tub worked fantastic, Erika and Francesco were kind and very helpful with reservations and any requests. great location too. Only challenge were the stairs but we were assisted with luggage when help was around. Coffee, water and tea are available, but food is available at nearby kiosks and restaurants. It’s a quaint experience.

Nice but loud.

Great room and service. Parking was surprisingly easy. Unfortunately the area was extremely noisy, even with earplugs and noise cancelling headphones. And I used to live in NYC! The room faced a busy loud road with many motorbikes constantly going by and boisterous weekend activities.

Great boutique hotel with excellent service

My partner and I stayed at Aquarooms for 3 nights and were really impressed by the quality of both the space and the hospitality of the hosts. With just 3 rooms, it’s a small boutique hotel with a personal touch. Our room had both a hot tub (in the bedroom) and a good shower, as well as a comfortable bed, a small balcony facing out onto the street, and cool, stylish art and furniture, much of it custom made or acquired for the specific room. The location was central and extremely convenient— tons of restaurants, bars, cafés, shops, and sights nearby. Erica and Francesco were both incredibly helpful and all-around good people who went above and beyond in every way and were fun to talk to. We loved both Palermo and Aquarooms and would not hesitate to come back to both!

Erica and Francesco were amazing hosts. They were there to meet us, made us caffè, tell us the best spots to go, and even ordered us a taxi when we left. The building they renovated themselves is absolutley stunning. Our room was decorated with local Palmero art, had an awesome shower, and my wife loved the seperate soaking tub. You can tell they put a lot of hard work and thought into it.
Everything is within walking distance. My only regret is we didnt stay longer, but we will be back!

Rolling Stone

Centrally located, comfortable hotel

I stayed 4 nights at the hotel while on a tourist visit. The hotel was a little difficult to find as the entrance is not on the main road so it's advised to come with a working SIM card and you can't buy one at the airport in Palermo. It is centrally located almost next to Plazza Pretoria/Santa Maria del Ammiraglio church. From there it is only about a 10-15 minute walk to Plazza Normanni and most of the main attractions are located between there. The room was in good condition and kept clean and the heat was activated during the cold nights. It's a little weird having the jacuzzi in the sleeping area and it was a bit slow to fill. However the water was nice and gets very hot. Breakfast is provided despite what some others have posted, however not in the hotel. You will get a ticket for each day for the \"Touring Cafe\" which is a very nice cafe and also recommended by LP. However the ticket is valid for only certain items and that breakfast is probably worth about 5 Euros. So if you want to eat at different places or think it is cheaper to purchase yourself then don't go with the breakfast. The rooms are all a part of an apartment and there is a small kitchen with refrigerator and microwave but no working stove top. Although the place was pretty quiet when I was there the door was a bit thin so you can easily hear into the main hall. Also the hotel faces the main road so the street noise especially the cars is a bit load so I wouldn't recommend this place for light sleepers.

Great location and well equipped rooms

Francesco our host couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. The rooms are spotless and modern. Breakfast was provided at a café down the street and the effort made to accommodate my dietary needs was really unexpected and welcome.

The downside to this property, if you're travelling with a car, is that it's not too handy to park (and plenty people would find the narrow streets, one way systems and Sicilian drivers more than they can handle).

Quiet hotel just off the main road.

For the historically inclined tourist Palermo is a must see. Locals are very welcoming and always eager to help.
Food is typically Sicilian which means some of the best gastronomy in the world ! Sicilian wines are heavenly.

Great for holidays, For Business Think Again

This probably depends on what you need. If you like to party and to do walking tours, the room is great. If you are on business, have a car and need to sleep before the bars close, this is not your best choice. The room is nice. Info saying breakfast is included, or parking is available are incorrect.

There is a very strong artificial air scent and you will love it, or not, depending on your tastes, but you can't help but notice it.

Beautiful Oasis in the Centre of Palermo

We had a fantastic time at Aquarooms and really enjoyed the beautiful room with its great decor and the mezzanine floor with a jacuzzi. We stayed in the junior suite as a family of four and had plenty of space and a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Most important of all, Francesco and Erica, the owners, were wonderful hosts and looked after us with great care and real hospitability. They love sharing the best of their lovely city with their guests and create a beautiful atmosphere in which to relax and enjoy your holiday. The room was impeccably clean and had a kettle and use of a fully furnished communal kitchen. Mille grazie!

The location in the heart of Palermo’s historical centre was perfect for our five-days vacation. Short walk to see the main sightseeings, nice walks around historical centre. The only minus is that the streets nearby are quite loud also in the night time, people having good time in pubs and bars, cars driving by and ambulances etc. In case you are comfortable to sleep with ear plugs (or, even better, with nc headphones, as I did on Sat night) it may not be an issue, just to consider. Erica and Francesco are the most friendy hosts, and the place was quite home-like. There are only three rooms, separate well-equipped kitchen and very good and prompt communication also via WhatsApp made us feel like house guests. Can recommend this for your stay in the beautiful Palermo.

Bom, mas diferente das fotos

Fomos muito bem recebidos pelo dono das acomodações, sempre simpático e solícito. No entanto, o quarto que nos foi destinado foi completamente diferente do que o visto e escolhido pelas fotos (aliás, o nosso quarto NÃO aparece nas fotos do HOTEIS.COM), sendo, inclusive, menor que o que contratamos. As áreas comuns, embora limpas, não tem ar condicionado, o que dificulta/impede a sua utilização no verão siciliano. Assim, ter uma geladeira no quarto daria um conforto maior.

Mitten drin!

Nette Unterkunft mitten im Trubel. Wer ein Mietauto hat, sollte sich bewusst sein, dass nur am Wochenende Autos von Nichtanwohner in die Stadt gelassen werden. Außerdem ist das Parkplatzangebot sehr gering. Wir standen 2 Tage in einer Seitenstraße. (Man kann sich aber auch mit der Unterkunft in Verbindung setzen um einen Parkplatz zu reservieren).

Super beliggenhed men ikke pengene værd

Vi boede på aquarooms i 2 nætter i juli og ac’en i rummer kunne ikke køle rummet ned til en behagelig sovetemperatur. For en gang skyld synes jeg at billederne på hotels.com får stedet til at fremstå bedre end det er, prisen er for høj ift. Siciliansk niveau. Morgenmaden får man på en cafe i nærheden og det er super.

Schöne aber laute Zimmer

Das Hotel ist ein gute Bed and Breakfest mit sehr schönen Zimmern, freundlichem Personal und hat eine Zentrale Lage. Jedoch ist es die ganze Nacht sehr laut (Zimmer direkt auf die Strasse). Wir haben das Aquarooms gebucht weil explizit erwähnt wurde, das Parkplätze vorhanden sind, was jedoch nicht der Fall ist. Auch steht auf der Seite vermerkt, dass der Checkin den ganzen Tag erfolgen kann, was ebenfalls nicht stimmt, da das B&B keinen Empfang hat und wir 45 Minuten warten mussten bis jemand vor Ort war um uns reinzulassen.
Alles in allem ein schönes B&B, an zentraler aber sehr lauter Lage. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und die Zimmer sehr preiswert und wirklich sehr schön.
