Free parking, comfy rooms & Easy walk into town
Pros:

It was perfect for us because we only had one day in Palermo and when you have a car, this hotel is great. You can park your car in the garage below, which is free. The room was spotless and the beds were very comfortable. We had room 606, which had a great view of the mountains. There was also a small fridge. All in all, we enjoyed our stay. It‘s an easy walk into the old town.

Cons:

The breakfast is okay.

Good quality and stay for fair price!! Friendly Staff!!
Pros:

I enjoyed our stay at Albergo Hotel. The staff was really friendly and helpful either at the restaurant an reception. Free parking under the hotel which was amazing due to hot weather the car stayed cool in hot Sicilian summer :) Breakfast was good, mainly focused on sweet part where selection of pastries and cakes was very wide and fresh! I would add something more for savoury part of the breakfast like scrambled eggs or bacon, but in general everything was great! The room itself is clean and has quite comfy beds. Did not expect much as it was a three star hotel but the stay was great overall and communication with the staff was much better than other 4 star hotels that I stayed in Italy :) Location was ok not too far from the centre (approx. 30 minutes walk). I like to walk so it was no problem for me and my girlfriend. I would like to advise that walking on the main streets looks better and less scary (on the route to the center)

Cons:

Everything was fine what I would change is savoury part of breakfast. I will do maybe scrambled eggs instead of hard boiled as it was a little bit overcooked while it stays in the chafing dish for too long. Some of the towels are leaving pieces of material after use. Fridge in the room was not working too well.

Prima plek om Palermo te verkennen en tussendoor even op adem te komen.
Pros:

Het hotel ligt prima ten opzichte van de historische stad. Alles is op loopafstand.
Er is een goed restaurant voor het ontbijt én voor een eenvoudig, lekker diner.
De auto kan makkelijk geparkeerd worden in de garage onder het hotel.
