We stayed here for 4 nights in May. The room was spacious and spotless. The staff was very friendly and gave quite a few good suggestions about the places to eat. The location is very convenient and central - easy to walk to the train station and you are already in the center so walking to 4 corners takes 10... More

We stayed here for the final 2 nights of our honeymoon and were not disappointed! The roof terrace for early evening cocktails is one of the best ways to see the city of Palermo away from the hustle and bustle of the busy streets. 5 cocktails cost €32 was a bit extravagant but well worth it! The breakfast was lacking... More

We stayed at the Ambasciatori for two nights in Palermo and loved it. The central, walkable location was great. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and professional. The terrace with amazing views of Palermo was unbeatable. Our room was small, but had some charm and was a great value for the money. The breakfast was wonderful with oranges and a... More

I stayed here with my friend during our trip to Sicily. We had actually planned on staying here the whole week, but then found out from others that Palermo really isn't a nice place to spend an entire week. We changed the booking from 7 nights to 3 nights without any problems. I can't really think of anything to complain... More

Be sure to read "HoodedBanoonigan's" review of Ambasciatorri from March 2012 (also be sure to read the hotel's response, which was nicely handled, I thought). We experienced everything HoodedBanoonigan so humorously wrote about with regard to Palermo. The city is a pit of trash blowing all over the place, and Via Roma has mounds of dog crap in the parks...

Dearest Sir, thank you for choosing Hotel Ambasciatori and for leaving your advise for us. However we are sorry, as citizens , about the way you found our city . We know that it's no perfect but we passed a bad Easter indeed, because the city had many strikes on that period and the information you received were wrong, infact... More

Don't expect to find reception at the ground level - it's on the 5th floor. The hotel is a part of an apartment building in central Palermo; some of the apartments are still used as such, others have been converted into hotel rooms. From the 5th floor, where the reception is, you can also reach roof terrace, with majestic views... More

We spent several days here early in the year and were very pleased with the room and the staff. We flew into Palermo airport and the shuttle bus dropped off at the railway station about four hundred metres if that from the hotel so an easy walk. the airport shuttles also tm very regularly, every 30 mins I think. the...

The hotel has the old world charm. Very comfortable and clean. Watching Palermo skyline while having the breakfast at the roof top terrace is a wonderful experience, given the weather is good. It is a great value. More

Comfortable rooms and perfect location for exploring Palermo. Good breakfast and helpful staff. Only drawbacks are lack of parking in the area and slightly noisy especially in the afternoon. Otherwise a good choice. More

Before I say a word about this hotel, it’s only right I show my cards: in three months of travel through western Europe, Palermo was, without doubt, the undisputed lowlight. Incredibly noisy, absolutely filthy, cars stacked in front of what might have been priceless monuments, Nonna after Nonna blasted off the road by oncoming traffic (they were the only people... More
