We arrived late at night and were transported immediately into another world. The communal courtyard full of used and disused cars, cats and washing; then the red marble sweeping staircase that took us to the first floor where the hotel was situated. It was a bonkers place and we loved it. We had requested quiet rooms not overlooking the main road so forfeited a window with a view but it was very clean and perfectly comfortable if a little basic. Good value for money and although the breakfast was a little sparse with coffee best left alone, it was more than compensated by the original painted ceiling. Very well situated, close to the station and one of the best Palermo markets, Ballaro which was operating even on a Sunday. Within walking distance to some major historic sites and the harbour area in the other direction. Not for the faint hearted or luxury seekers as no lift and slightly haphazard service as somewhat understaffed, at least at the beginning of the season. Wifi worked in reception area best as in all old Palazzi the walls are too thick for signals to travel far.More
