From start to finish, this was a fantastic place to stay. The hotel contacted us via whatsapp prior to our arrival with clear video instructions on locating and entering the hotel building (we were arriving late at night) They also arranged an airport transfer for us and even recommended a restaurant nearby that would be open late that night! Our room (room 6) was very nice with clean modern fittings that contrasted nicely with the old stone building. We met Siriana the following morning at reception and she patiently went through the city map with us and marked many places of interest as well as some nice dining options. By the end of day one we had our bearings and realised that the hotel is ideally located close to the city centre and marina with plenty of nice bars, restaurants, and cafes nearby too. The guys at reception were so friendly, always on hand to help, and they made a couple of dinner reservations for us in local restaurants which was much appreciated. We found the area beside the hotel (and the city itself) to be very safe to walk around and explore, day or night. A big bonus was having the pool to cool off in after a hot day's walking around the city! As first time visitors we weren't sure what to expect but Palermo is a great, great city with lots to see, do and experience. We...From start to finish, this was a fantastic place to stay.

We had a fantastic few days in Palermo and a very pleasant stay here.
We will definitely return to Palermo again and to the Bastione Spasimo Hotel.
Grazie mille Siriana, Giuliana and staff.More
