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.

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.

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.

This place is such fun, and Vito is the perfect host. I was in the Pink Room and its perfect for the solo traveller, the bed really comfortable and a good sized en suite - great to have the balcony on the street view too. Its so central, so perfect for a city break, and surrounded by great food and markets.

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.

The owner of the B&B was friendly and welcoming with a good sense of humor. Via Maqueda is a busy street day and night and the B&B is located just slightly off the main street. Can sometimes be noisy in the night, lots of stray dogs which was sad to see but overall was an enjoyable stay with some great beaches nearby (20 minutes on the bus to Mondello and 1 hour train to Cefalu). Pretty buildings and plenty of churches to visit.

After a long journey from the US, with many hiccups along the way, accidentally finding this wonderful B&B was a highlight of our Holiday!
Our host Victor was amazingly talented, charming and so full of life and love for beauty which was apparent in this eclectic B&B. I was lucky to have stayed in the sultan room. A remarkable room full of color and enticing the imagination. We were welcomed with colorful hats and costumes handmade by our wonderful host! If you like to try something fun and different...this is the place to visit. Perfectly located to shopping, cathedrals, restaurants and nightlife. I plan on returning!!!

My wife and I had a lovely 8-night stay. Vito, the owner, and his team were very nice and helpful. The hotel is perfectly located, it´s just on the main shopping street of Palermo, a two minutes walk from the Massimo Theater, Quattro Canti, and many other places of interest. Loads of restaurants and cafes nearby. Less than 10 minutes walk to all street markets. The layout, design, and style of the rooms are unique and probably among the most colorful room you´d ever stay in.

At first I was a little skeptical about staying here. When the trip ended it will definitely be a memory that sticks out, this place is something special. Vito the host is super friendly, he's an artist and the design of his B and B reflect it, from his wild costumes around the house to the home made funiture, great location in Palermo close to everything downtown. I've been traveling italy for a month and this is one of the few that stick out.

Slightly difficult to find as it's down a dimly lit side street and the relevant bell isn't too easy to see in the dark! However, nice people running the place. Very cool room - circular-shaped bed (!) and lots of retro stuff there. Breakfast not up to much though.

Very welcoming, nicely decorated and conveniently located.
