Pros:

L'emplacement très sympa dans une ruelle calme mais en même temps proche du centre historique.
De plus il y a une petite terrasse aménagée en haut de l'hôtel, franchement top pour profiter de sa soirée !

Cons:

La connexion wifi n'est pas géniale à certains endroits. Un peu dommage.

Die Lage mitten in der Altstadt, nah am Mercato Ballaro und vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten und as in einer ruhigen angenehmen Atmosphäre mit super netten Gastgebern hat uns gut gefallen, Wie eine Oase!

Pros:

Hôtel bien caché dans un des quartiers les plus populaires du cœur historique de Palerme. Beaucoup d'animation en journée mais étonnamment calme le soir. Emplacement idéal pour visiter la ville à pied. Hôtel un peu austère mais bien tenu, accueil souriant, climatisation efficace, petit-déjeuner correct.

Cons:

Chambres assez minimalistes en décoration et en équipement : pas de frigo, un petit bureau et une chaise, rien pour poser sa valise. Salle de bain exiguë et mal aérée.
À savoir : l'arrêt de la navette pour l'aéroport est à 10 bonnes minutes à pied. La réception est au 2e étage. Il y a bien un ascenseur au rdc, mais il est derrière une porte verrouillée, il faut appeler la réception pour l'ouvrir, or il n'y a souvent personne à la réception... bref, on monte ses valises par l'escalier.
