We stayed here twice in a span of 10 days. One before our cruise and second time after returning to Palermo from driving around Sicily. We absolutely loved both of our stays. Check in was very easy with great communication from the front desk. I would highly recommend using their airport transfer service as it was very well organized, comfortable and on time. The rooms we had were great for the two of us. It was very clean and nicely decorated. Front staff is amazing. We arrived early AM the first time and our room was not ready. They stored our luggage and took down my WhatsApp number. We then went to explore the city. They informed me when the room was ready (well ahead of the check-in time) and when we got back all our luggage was already in our room. We wanted to go for a good seafood dinner and the restaurant they suggested ended up being the best meal we had on our trip ( I already rated the restaurant). Breakfast was perfect and included everything we needed to start the day. Our second stay we had to leave very early for our flight in the morning so the staff upgraded our room and left us pastries, juice, yogurt and granola to take with us in the morning as the breakfast started later in the AM. The location was great as it's walking distance from all the sights but in a more quiet area that still has a lot of great food and drink options all around. I would highly recommend staying here when in Palermo!

Breakfast was great. Location in Palermo was also very accessible, we were able to do street parking as we arrived Saturday and left Sunday. Many restaurants and shops within a quick walk. We stayed in the \"small double room\" and while it was very clean and comfortable for one night, if staying longer I would definitely opt for a larger space. Super cool property but a bit tricky to find the first time, made much easier by a daytime arrival.

This place is a small B&B, in the 2nd floor of an old building. The lobby of building is dark with very in adequate lighting. The front door is also dark. The room is small with minimal storage space. The chandelier above the bed is due for cleaning. The bed is in the soft side. The breakfast room is tiny, it’s barely any room to move around when they are more than 6 people sitting.Good location, close to the old town. The service is great.

The property itself is ok. We booked a small room. What we received was a broom closet. To enter the bathroom we had to move our luggage into the hallway. Our advertised courtyard view was a great view of the air conditioner and the wall of the next building. The whole thing is a bit deceiving. When I tried to talk to the person at the front desk she instantly went from nice to very condescending. She spoke to me like I was a child and had never booked a hotel before when in reality I am an exceptionally well travelled Travel Agent. I won’t be booking this property again and sure will not book for any of my clients.

Amazing little gem. Deserves all the rave reviews. Staff is absolutely fantastic. Suite was gorgeous. Lovely lady at check in was very proud of the city and when \"briefly explaining\" the area, pretty much designed a custom walking itinerary on their map, highlighting all major spots worth seeing. This was excellent and greatly cut down on wasted time. Upon learning that I was departing early in the morning, on my last night, the staff packed a little to go breakfast and left it in my room the night before. Fantastic small touches for a perfect stay. Highly recommended.

Due to our bus to Heathrow breaking down, and 2 delayed flights we arrived much later into Palermo than we had initially planned.
Family Affair are listed on Expedia as a Hotel so we didn't think it would matter about the lateness of our arrival as it was a hotel right?.
No! in fact it's a B&B. So check in is at 8.00pm and that is it!
When we arrived feeling very weary at Family Affair it was closed, there is a sign with a ph number for out of hours. Rang the number, no answer, it's 12.00pm we are out in the street worrying that we won't have anywhere to stay. Then some Palermian people pass by and ask if they can assist. They call the number and get through, they explain for us that we have arrived and we need the keys to get in. The person
in charge screams down the ph, the chap who's kindly called on our behalf shrugs his shoulders and gives his ph over to me and l endure 10 minutes of the woman running Family Affair shouting at me that we are too late and did we read the small print! After what seems an age l mention refund, only then she relents and says she'll organise a neighbour to give us the keys. The Pizza place right next door is called
PiPi Room Pizzas, we stumbled into their restaurant, by now it is 12.50 am, and they are obviously closing. We explain what is going on, they ask if we would like a beer we say yes please! And then they say would we like some food and we order 2 pizzas which were absolutely the best we have ever had.
So don't be late

Beautiful, fresh, hospitable, comfortable B&B

Wow, just wow! We stayed in the Rivoli room, which had beautiful, old original ceilings, tiled floors and stone archway over door. It also had two balconies looking onto street. The staff couldn't have been more professional, kind and accommodating. Breakfast had lots of great choices. When we had to check out before breakfast time, I asked the staff if we could get some breakfast beforehand, expecting maybe a few items to take away with us. But they opened breakfast a 1/2 hour before four us. So kind. The location of this place is good, too, walkable to the center attractions. A couple decent restaurants on nearby blocks, too. Would highly recommend this B&B. We felt like royalty.

State of the art rooms, perfect location

First off, the location is great! This is a really nice area of Palermo, with loads of designer shops around, as well as nice bars and restaurants. It's a 6 min walk from Teatro Politeama, where you can get on and off the airport shuttle bus and most day trips start from there too. It's about 20 min walk to the old town centre straight down the main road (Via Libertà). Super easy.

My boyfriend and I stayed for 4 nights in the La Cala room, which is probably the smallest of the 5 or so that they have. The design is great - all new furnishings, lovely tiles in the bathroom, there's a bidet too etc. The room is very small, with only the bed to sit on and not much storage space. As we were out all day long, it was perfect for us, but if you're used to having a wardrobe, chairs, sofa, it might be a good idea to go for one of the larger rooms.

Breakfast was included, with fresh goods from the bakery (incl. cannoli), pistachio cream, jams, cheeses, salamis, yoghurt, muesli, fresh fruit etc. This takes places from 8.30am at a communal table, where, depending on your timing, you might get to sit with the other guests.

Hosts are extremely nice and accommodating - we had to skip breakfast one day as we were leaving early and they prepared some snacks the night before for us to take with the next day.

Highly recommended! I'd definitely come back here next time.

Couldn’t have been better

My boyfriend and I booked Family Affair for our weeks holiday for Palermo and it didn’t disappoint. Situated just out of the busy city centre, everything that you need is a short walk away. We also had a car which we were able to easily park in a car park opposite. Ramona was a perfect host and nothing was too much trouble. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated and had everything that we needed in. We loved the kitchen table style breakfast which meant we got to chat to the other guests over a cup of coffee and a plate of incredible food. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to have a stress free trip to Sicily.

Conveniently located around some of the best places to eat with the locals or to walk into town to see the historical sites.

The hotel was excellent and very successful in delivering its unique concept. It is within walking distance of Palermo’s city center, about a 15-minute walk away.

Since the city center is extremely crowded, we actually appreciated the hotel’s quieter location. It provided a peaceful retreat after spending time in the busy streets.

The hotel is housed in a beautiful historic building with a distinctive character, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

The only downside was the breakfast area. As we visited during the peak of summer, we found it to be a bit small and quite warm. Other than that, we had a very pleasant stay.
