4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2012 NEW

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights (May 3-4/12) as the beginning of our tour of Sicily and Southern Italy. Initially we were disappointed, finding that the online photos had made it look a little more upscale. The air is stale in the reception area as well as in the rooms. However, the gentleman at reception was welcoming... More

Dear client, Thank you for reporting the characteristic main of the hotel: the location. At the heart of the city, in Piazza Politeama, customers have the opportunity to walk to many monumental points. Comfortable shuttle bus outside the hotel that leads to the airport!

My wife and I stayed here on 9 May 2012 as part of a Cosmos tour of southern Italy. The location is excellent, right in front of the Politeama Theatre and the hop-on bus stops right outside. It's in an up-market area, with many luxury shops along the tree-lined Via Liberta. There is a good cafe in the next side... More

The Politeama is a four star hotel located right next to the Teatro Politeama. I had a nice room on the 7th floor overlooking the Plaza in front of the theater. Except for the car alarm that went off at 3:00 am I enjoyed my stay there. It’s located in a very upscale area; there is a Prada store on... More

We were staying at the Politeama Palace Hotel was during the Christmas holidays/last of the year days. The big Politeama square (and the gorgeous Politemama Theater!) is right across the entrance and was adorned with lights and a huge Christmas tree. I have to tell you that this is the best location for a hotel in Palermo. Lot of restaurants,... More

I was staying at the Hotel Posta and moved here for the last night so I could have easy access to the airport bus at 0415 hours. I had an early flight out in the morning. I was very pleasantly suprised as the hotel appears to have been recently remodeled and looked very modern-ish. Excellent location next to the Teatro... More

Firstly, we arrived very late at night, two young women and had pre booked an airport transfer direct with the hotel. Not only did the taxi not arrive, when we rang them / arrived at the hotel there was no apology. We'd purposefully pre booked a transfer as we'd been advised that the taxi rank closed at midnight and we... More

The location of the Hotel was very good, walking distance from old city center and in front of the bus stop for the airport connection. The room was clean and big, but a bit expensive (single room, 90 euro - booked on internet). During the night it was noisy (the window of my room overlooked a busy square). Satellite tv... More
