This is a great hotel, with good and nice staff, great breakfast, the room was unbeatable, it is very close to the royal palace and the main attractions of Palermo. Nonetheless, the area (2 blocks around the hotel), is dirty and not too nice. Other than that, it is a great hotel.

Petit-déjeuner inclus dans la prestation globale sous format buffet à volonté, très garni, pour tous les goûts. Un point très positif! Un parking privé sous-terrain pour garer la voiture en toute sécurité. L'hôtel nous a permis de laisser la voiture dans le parking le temps de notre viste touristique alors que nous avions rendu la clé de la chambre. Les hôtesses d'accueil parlent français, c'est appréciable. L'hôtel n'est pas de prime jeunesse mais la literie est confortable et la chambre familiale fonctionnelle, dans un quartier très proche du centre (mais tranquille) pour tout faire ensuite à pied.
