Hôtel central, accueil très apprécié.
Pros:

Emplacement central, personnel présent et attentif à nos demandes. Bon rapport qualité/prix.

Cons:

La proximité du marché Ballaro rend la chambre un peu bruyante au petit matin.

Hotel modesto en el centro

El personal: muy amable y atento a las necesidades. Mi vuelo se retrasó y llegué tardísimo pero no hubo problema por parte del Hotel Cortese. Buena relación calidad-precio.

El aspecto del barrio y que en la habitación no llegara el wifi

Prima uitvalsbasis voor Palermo
Pros:

Prettig hotel om te verblijven in de oude stad van Palermo. Alles is op loopafstand.

Cons:

Op zondagavond is het erg stil op straat je voelt je dan minder veilig in het donker. De andere dagen is er veel meer open. Op zondag veel gesloten.

Zentral gelegenes Hotel, etwas älter, in der Altstadt, sauber geführt vom sehr freundlichen Besitzer
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr zentral mit lebhafter typischer Umgebung. Mein Zimmer war klein, ausreichend für eine Person, sauber und mit täglichem Zimmerdienst. Auch das Frühstück war ausreichend und gut mit sehr schmackhaftem Kaffee. Besonders zu erwähnen noch der freundliche und hilfsbereite Besitzer. Wenn ich wieder nach Palermo komme, dann hierher!

séjour d'une nuit à Palermo
Pros:

L'hôtel est géographiquement bien placé, juste à coté du marché de Ballaro.
nous avons pu visiter le centre de Palermo à pied facilement.
nous avions 2 chambres triples, l'une plus moderne que l'autre mais tout aussi confortable.
nous avions un petit balcon qui donnait directement au dessus du marché de ballaro.
le petit déjeuner était bon. le personnel nous a bien accueil et il nous a permit de laisser nos bagages lors du check out afin de visiter librement sans être chargé.

Cons:

il manque un peu d'insonorisation, nous pouvions entendre les voisins de la chambre d'à côté.
nous avons eu un peu froid, mais cela a été résolu une fois que nous avons allumé la climatisation.
