3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2012

The hotel is good located in the centre of Palermo. We liked the location, but we didn't felt comfortable because of the old furniture and the relative small window overlooking an interior patio. Just good for one night stay, and somehow depressing. Cannot recommend the restaurant because of the very slow service during diner! More

We stayed at Hotel Federico II for 3 days. The best thing about the hotel is its location in the shopping district of Palermo. Its is at 20 metres from Via Principe di Belmonte, 50 metres from Via Maqueda and Via Roma. Until last year the hotel was classified as 5 stars. Now it is a 4 stars, which better... More

This is a really good hotel in a great location - don't expect people to speak english automatically - they don't. I was a little disapointed as the buffet breakfast was supposed to be served until 10.00am and staff were actively clearing it away by 9.20 - get there early as the quality is good. The Turkish bath and sauna... More

We stayed in the Federico II for one week (end of December 2011). Enjoyed Palermo and was also related to the good location of the hotel. All major attractions are within walking distance. The hotel offered us a very spacious room and the breakfast had enough varieties to keep us satisfied for one week. The hotel has no parking space... More

It´s surely a 4 star hotel in a very good part of Palermo. A crossing of important avenues, with plenty of shops and bars, and bus stops. No budget restaurant around, unfortunately, even during high season. 3 minutes walk from Politeama, with a nice surround even during the evening. 25 minutes walking from train station. Bus from and to Punta... More

Just recently returned from Hotel Fed and I can comfortably say it is a terrible hotel. When we arrived, 2 dbl rooms: one room with a broken shower and the other with faulty air conditioning. The price was high, 150Euro/rm, considering the shape of the hotel. I WOULD AVOID THIS HOTEL LIKE THE PLAGUE! More

Hotel Federico II is located on a small side street near the shopping center of Palermo. I had booked a hotel off the main street because of the reviews suggesting the main streets were very noisy at night. Unfortunately, there is a club "Club American" across the street that had music blaring all night and it was almost impossible to... More

This hotel was well located for sightseeing. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable and the bathroom good. The breakfast was as good as or maybe slightly better than any of the other 3 hotels we stayed in in Sicily. We did not eat in the hotel because we prefer to eat out to make the... More
