Top Palermo Historical Center Hotel Reviews

Cassaro 261

8/10 Good

"Room small, but ok. Had Balcony ! VERY difficult to find. Close to many tourist spots, that was great. Lucky for me, someone from hotel was downstairs, otherwise no entry to building.."

NH Collection Palermo Palazzo Sitano

8/10 Good

"The ground floor lounge spaces and its bar always seemed deserted, and there is a strong smell of Ortigia room scents throughout. The heavy-handed interior design overwhelms the more classic beauty of the original palazzi. We are architects, so this kind of poor design is more offensive to us than most. We finally got help with the AC, which had been turned off in our first room, and the young men "helping" us turn it back on were surly and laughing at our apparent stupidity in not being able to find the tiny black button on the tiny black thermostat. So, several hot and uncomfortable nights spent before solving that mystery. It's a great location with good array of breakfast choices, but I would not go back here."

Spasimo Hôtellerie

8/10 Good

"The staff was very helpful. The room was clean but not pristine. I mean you see discoloration on the shower grout. There was also a stench coming from the shower drain. It wasn’t that bad but it was there. There was also odor in the gym, not sure if it was coming from the toilette. Overall if they sanitize the place and do deep cleaning they will be in good shape. The staff was very friendly otherwise."

Eurostars Centrale Palace

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. A classic, old palazzo, beautifully restored, right in the center of Palermo. Very clean, very comfortable, good sized rooms, quiet air conditioning, and fantastic views from the rooftop restaurant and bar. Be sure to have a drink in the bar with Robert, a true professional with an engaging personality with amazing stories to tell Very highly recommended"

inCanto

10/10 Excellent

"The location is very central to the historic center so most of the historic attractions are with a fifteen minute walk, as are the train and bus terminals to go to other cities. Do keep in mind that this building requires you to carry your luggage up stairs so not a good choice if you pack heavy and will struggle taking heavy bags up two or three floors of stairs."

B&B Hotel Palermo Quattro Canti

8/10 Good

"This hotel is fine. It wasn’t as nice as in the pictures but honestly if you’re going to be there just for sleeping it’s perfect. It has everything you need and the staff is great. If you’re looking for a fancy hotel I would say pick something else but something easy conveniently located and average it’s perfect. Especially for the price."
