The place is not up to standard. Very old building with little maintenance. Electrical fittings are old and don't inspire confidence. No wardrobe or mini fridge, the paint on the wall needs a new coat and the curtains need replacing. The air condition unit looks like 15 years old. I switched it off after 2 minutes as it was letting off a bad smell. No luggage store that can be locked. Only thing in good/almost new condition is the en suite bathroom. Common areas are cluttered with old stuff. Thanked my stars I was there for just 1 night. Otherwise I would have looked for another place.

Nice place. Seems more like a bed and breakfast. Private room with a bathroom. Host was great helping me from the airport.

When i did the booking i was looking at hotels in Palermo Buenos Aires and it show me this one for an amazing price after i booked it turns out to be in Palermo Italy. Just make sure you Google the address before booking as it is not refundable.

Very friendly check in person who we also saw out that night and talked to. She was very welcoming when we arrived,booked an airport transfer for us and recommended places to go that night for a meal.
The breakfast venue was also very good.
Other points - check which room you book as the room on the photo of the B&B is not necessarily the one you have booked - you can upgrade at additional cost!!
Room spacious - shower needs looking at as the head leaks.

What a lovely b&b! Full of character and run by kind and friendly people. Shame they don’t do breakfast on site as the cafe staff were cold and unfriendly. Would recommend it if you are bored of bland budget hotels!

The most important owner is very friendly. Location, security, comfort! The best thing about Palermo is its owner's warmth.

Excellent location near attractions yet also has a local feel
Our check-in was smooth and pleasant and we got a hand-drawn map that gave us a great starting point for exploring the city including sights we had not thought to check out as well as great recommendations for local food places.

I want to say thank you, the Abalì Gran Sultanato B&B is a great place to stay if you are looking for something different to the normal hotels. The services is very personal and interior design is unique.
Breakfast is served at a cafe across the road with a selection of coffee and Italian sweets for breakfast.
Bed is comfortable and clean
Bathroom is clean and tidy with good water pressure.
Wifi - had intermittent issues and needs addressing.
Location is excellent - right in the middle of town with easy access to everything.
Overall a great experience!

Abalì Gran is on the 5th floor of a large apartment block which we were not expecting. Signage wasn’t great but Vito was on the phone giving us instructions. When we arrived upstairs, he greeted us in fine sultan style with coat and hat! To be honest I think that my partner and I thought that we had arrived at the mad hatters tea party! It was fun. Vito spoke good English and made us feel at ease. We were shown to our room and left to settle in. We only stayed one night but can happily report clean room, comfortable bed (we like firm mattresses) and the bathroom worked as it should. If you like quirky, this is definitely the place to stay! Vito will look after you well. He can also recommend reputable 24hour car parks which are nearby.

Vito is a wonderful host and very proud of his city Palermo. He created a map and helped us find some interesting places. You must remember while in Italy time is “elastic “ as Vito explained. The area has a lot going on and the buildings are hundreds of years old. Relax and enjoy

Me and my boyfriend stayed for 3 nights. First impression is super important - here unfortunately was the opposite to great. We arrived, nobody there, randomly got inside because someone was leaving. The person turned out to be a perm resident and reached out to the owner. He did arrive quickly but instead of offering apology for unnecessary stress at my birthday we were informed that it was pretty much our fault that we did not call him earlier. I wouldn't agree here as actually I did send an email even mentioning that we would be my birthday so hope everything goes well during our stay. That was a massive negative at the start. He rushed through some tips and informed the breakfast is actually a croissant and coffee voucher from the local café - would be a nice surprise and much appreciated if it hadn't been for the fact that we did pay for breakfast included and don't think by that expected a 2 euro worth ''meal''. I get that we were there at the end of season and probably he figured that from a business point of view it's not worth to arrange sth more but still... say sth about it when we make the reservation. On the positive-place located well centrally, close to buzz of the city which for us was a positive but for others can be negative as it's loud when you fall asleep. I did appreciate the creative side of that place - you won't find a place like that anywhere else as I assume everything there came from his own imagination. Room was cleaned every day which was nice.
