Rapporto qualità-prezzo eccellente
Pros:

Un'ottima base nel cuore di Palermo. Posizione centrale imbattibile, personale accogliente e disponibile. Colazione fantastica (dolci artigianali top!). Rapporto qualità-prezzo eccellente.

Cons:

Struttura datata, arredamento spartano e assenza di ascensore ma se non vi spaventano un po' di scale e cercate una sistemazione semplice ma funzionale per esplorare la città, è il posto giusto.
