The hotel is in a grand historical setting. Looked at the other reviews and do not agree on the 'condition & service' negatives. We found the condition, breakfast and staff highly acceptable. ONE complaint; they charge an arm & leg for WiFi! This makes then a three star hotel in my book. The folks across the street, "Colazione da Tiffany"... More

Hotel in need of renovation. Upholstery in lobby very faded and dirty. Rooms were large but carpeting was so filthy and stained we insisted on a room change. The 2nd room wasn't much better. You could see the black dirt path on the hall carpets where people walk. Large stains in the 3 rooms my family stayed in. Internet did... More

Everything in this hotel was beutiful. Palermo is a beutiful city with many things to do. Dont miss the teatro massimo, politeama, the... More

The history alone of this hotel is worth the stay. The rooms, the ghosts of the stories & secrets that took place within those walls & of those who walked the halls. But beyond all of that, the hotel is beautiful and still retains its classic splendour in each & every detail. The staff werevery warm, helpful and accomodating in... More

Stayed at this hotel for one night in march 2012. The room we had was fantastic - very smart and large. The bathroom was great too. We did NOT find the hotel to be shabby and run down as some people have commented. It is very old and as such yes there are some bits that could do with a... More

Overall, the hotel is in need over a general overhaul. Service was honestly terrible - every time we had to ask for anything (including check-in) we just seemed to be annoying the hotel staff. While I understand we were in Sicily and English is not the first language, we stayed in other hotels where English was understood. However, in this... More

Great location. Was within walking distance of all we wanted to see. We were also shocked by how large the rooms were. (Twice the size of anywhere else we stayed on our 10final night stay in Italy). More

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and the hotel appears to be in good repair. The elevators are very small, 3 people and 2 bags had to squeeze in so I usually used the beautiful grand staircase. Our room was on the third floor facing into the center of the hotel. When opening our window we were looking... More

We very much liked staying here. The public rooms are certainly grand, including the lobby and the breakfast room. On our arrival the hotel had no record of our booking (fortunately we had) and kept us waiting for 20 minutes while they checked. The reward though was a splendid suite, probably more sumptuous than the room we'd booked. The hotel... More
