Die Besitzerin Emanuela u ihre Dame vor Ort sind sehr um den Gast bemüht und sorgen dafür, dass man sich wohl fühlt und zufrieden ist.
Feines Frühstück, mehr als „typisch italienisch“, ist täglich wählbar.
Hellhörig, aber das ist ja fast überall so in Italien.

It's a shame, the room was fairly, newly renovated and well lit but had odor issues. The room was just large enough for a bed, armoire and console-type table.
The room was overwhelmingly fragranced. Since it was on street level, literally, we didn't want to leave the floor to ceiling doors open to air the place out. We asked if we could move to a room on the first or second floor. They wanted a 30% increase, so we kept the room.
They had a air-freshener in the bathroom that constantly spewed fragrance ad nauseum until we unplugged it. We left the doors open an hour or two, trying to air out the fragrance, then closed up and went to dinner. On our return, the place now smelt like a sewer! So we had to open the windows again and listen to noisey scooters and motorcycles going by to an adjacent alley way, spewing their noxious exhaust which naturally drifted into our room.
Later we realized the plug used for the air-freshener, was the same plug used for the hot water heater. Good thing we noticed that before we took showers in the morning.
There's no where to put toiletries except a small area on the sink or chair by the door. The mattress is on the verge of needing replacement as it higher in the middle sloping down toward the sides.

5.0 / 5.0
Great find and value. Newly renovated and nicely appointed. The room is spacious and comfortable. Great location by the port and the center. Stocked with coffee maker and electric teakettle. Lovely balcony. Great place for ice cream and granizzato nearby. Daily cleaning services.
Would have been great to have a mini-fridge, especially in the heatwave to store cold water. I was expecting it for the type of amenities that it had.
Would have been nice to have a larger shower given how large the bathroom is.

The first floor room was beautiful! It was clean and spacious, perfect for the two of us! No issues with the air con which we greatly needed during the heatwave! We stayed in the smaller ground floor room on our last night but again, no issues there either. The host, Emanuela, was kind and friendly over WhatsApp throughout our visit with quick replies to our questions and her staff Luisa were also very friendly, providing us with breakfast and being like a mother to us - very sweet! Would definitely recommend this place!
In the downstairs room there was no fridge to keep our water cool. There was also no bin in the bedroom although there was a small bin in the bathroom.
4.5 / 5.0
The rooms were clean and nice. Location was super central. Also the lady in the reception was very friendly and took care of our luggages.
The room was in the ground floor and directly facing the street and it was a bit noisy. Also when we arrived, we weren‘t informed about the code in the entrance beforehand and there was no one in the reception. But when we called, they sent the code via Whatsapp so it was sorted out.

Rooms were lovely and clean & beautifully decorated - we had 2 rooms side by side. Easy communication & colleague at location was lovely.
Location was good and easy to walk to places. We managed to park outside to load bags.

Excellent location, just 2 minutes close to the port. Nice area, quiet and very friendly. Mattress was super good, facility extra clean and you were feeling very comfortable during your staying. We totally recommend you to book your staying here! Thanks a lot for the hospitality!

Beautiful place, clean, good location.
This was my mistake- it was too small for us with our 2 adult kids. I should have checked the dimensions.

This was a great place to stay in Palermo and would stay here again. The location was perfect for us, the host very helpful, and the value couldn't be beat. The host helped us to arrange a car to the airport whom arrived early, we were very satisfied with this stay.
We had an issue getting into the place which was beyond the hosts control (the power went out and it was a self entry with key pad) and were pressed for time. However, after that was resolved there were no issues after and would definitely stay there again.

Lovely spacious room with a balcony. Host super fast to reply to any concerns! Perfect for a short stay
We arrived late so found it hard to find at night but host was very quick to give advice. Our next door neighbors may have thought they were the only ones there was as they blared music at night it took a bit of banging on the wall for them to turn it down. The room was cleaned but we did not receive fresh towels. There was no instructions or recommendations in the room in English and we only realized as we were leaving that there was a kitchen we could have used? Overall 8/10 with small improvements it definitely could be 10/10

Excellent hotel. Self check-in which was very convenient. I received all the information on whatsapp. 3 minutes from the harbor and 5 minutes from the historic center. There are many good restaurants and night bars in the next street, but our hotel was quiet. Great location. Comfortable beds, impeccable cleanliness. Cozy breakfast room. The staff was very attentive to our requests. Since our flight was late in the evening, we were given a free extension before departure. It was just wonderful, because in the evening it started to rain and we had a great time on the balcony.

close to all activities and monuments in Palermo old city. also closed to the seaside. Emma was really nice and friendly. she was effort to give us a good service.
our room was bit airless because of the ground floor. it was also really noisy in the night so that we couldn’t sleep so good. breakfast was bit simple with more sweet things and prepared not so lovely.

Great location, walking distance from main street and many great restaurants. The host was very attentive and helpful with all our questions. Rooms were spacious and kitchen was great to have in the mornings stocked with coffee/tea and fridge to store our beverages and food. The small courtyard was also nice to have.

A lovely room in a convenient location. Parking right out front.
4.0 / 5.0
The room is nice and cosy; everything looks new and well-maintained. The location is between the city centre and the harbour, so visiting attractions and restaurants was pretty easy. Overall, we are delighted with this stay.
The room was a bit too small and sometimes noisy outside.
3.0 / 5.0
Perfect location. Host was really helpful with late self check-in and storing our bags after check-out
Only window was a door onto the street so couldn't have any natural light and privacy. No control for the aircon (for the first night) so temperature was 27 degC over night!
5.0 / 5.0
This is an amazing location, easy to get to all site seeing Palermo has to offer. Super safe and convenient location. I would highly recommend to anyone coming to Palermo. Authentic feel and better then hotels that cost twice the amount. Very good value and easy to get in and out with passcode at your convenience.
Thank you!

We did not sign up for the breakfast. Manuela suggested a nearby pastry shop, which was excellent.

Great experience during our stay. Excellent accommodations, easy to walk to all Palermo must see sites, very sweet host. Loved having access code to front door for ease of entry. Had a balcony room and loved watching other travelers pass by and enjoy a glass of wine winding down the day.
Wish I had booked a longer stay.

Over all very good location, room and bathroom. Very quick responses whenever we wrote them.
Quite some noise comes from the corridor but none from outside.
