Ons leukste hotel tot nu toe op onze interrail trip in september 2026.
Pros:

Het pand. Een oud Palazzo. Nogal vergane glorie, maar het hotel op de eerste verdieping was goed verbouwd. De kamer ruim genoeg, de badkamer basic. Maar we hadden alles wat we nodig hadden
De manager was een duizendpoot die samen met zijn broer ? alle taken zelf vervulde, van receptionist, tot ontbijt verzorgen, tot kamers schoonmaken. Bij dit alles bleef hij vrolijk en vriendelijk. De ligging was voor ons als treinreizigers perfect. 6 minuten lopen van Palermo Centrale. Ontbijt was goed. Als Nederlanders die boterhammen met kaas gewend zijn, waren er wel veel zoete broodjes, erg Italiaans. Maar er waren ook worstenbroodjes en vers fruit en yoghurt.

Cons:

Eigenlijk maar een ding. De imposante brede trap van 53 treden. Hij had geschiedenis, maar geschiedenis helpt je niet naar boven. Er was geen lift. Voor ons als senioren was het een hele klim. Goed voor de spieren....

NO es hotel convencional..esta en un edificio
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

En realidad descubrí cuando llegué que era un hotel.en un edificio...de eso no decia nada la publicación.. ya que no es un hotel convencional. El acceso esra desprecio y sucio y la comunicación fue por ws de un telefono de una persona no de un hotel...todo escaleras hasta el acceso...no alcancé ni a entrar...me sentí inseguro en el acceso...me fui y perdí el importe de la habitación, dado que esas son las reglas de juego... puntué para poder avanzar en ka encuesta...pero en realidad nunca entré ni estuve con nadie....REITERO NO ES UN HOTEL CONVENCIONAL..mala experiencia.. me costo plata pero me lo gane en tranquilidad mía y de mi esposa...gracias

Pros:

Hotel sito nel palazzo Filangeri di Cutò, davvero emozionante! Centralissimo, a pochi passi dalla stazione centrale a pochi minuti da Piazza della Marina, dallo storico rione Kalsa, alle spalle del vivace mercato di Ballarò. Personale gentilissimo, ottima colazione.
