The breakfast was lovely in a very peaceful setting, jazz music in the background. The upper floor has a sitting room and outdoor terrace - lovely. The area is great for restaurants, shopping and getting to... More

Arrived late at night to be greeted by a nice guy in reception who quickly got us checked in. Hotel is in a central area of Palermo, close to all shops and restaurants. Staff were very friendly and the breakfast was perfect (lots of it).

Great location - staff was very accommodating - spoke English too. Breakfast each morning was superb and we were invited to eat as much as we would like. Nice rooftop patio for late night cocktails. Reminded me of South Beach!
