Poor value and terrible access

It was very difficult to get inside when we arrived - nobody answered the bell when we rang and we only got in when a resident came along. When we did get inside we were dismayed by the state of the courtyard as it was very hard to pull our luggage over the extremely uneven surface; and then what made it worse was the steps up to reception!! This was not mentioned in the listing. Whilst the room was OK it lacked a lot of things you’d expect in any basic hotel. The air conditioning did not function properly in our room. The only saving grace was that we were quite near the station and were able to walk up Via Maqueda to find somewhere for dinner. Overall a poor experience for the high price we paid for the room!

Once inside it’s quite decent and good value for money. A grand old building with very comfortable, well air conditioned and clean rooms. Checkin is a let down, I even emailed ahead to ask for Checkin details and no response. There is a locked door at the street entrance with security code and if no one at front desk you get stranded outside. Could be easily fixed by providing the code on day of Checkin. Aldo be aware there is no staff onsite at night. Besides that it’s great value.

Quirky little hotel in what appears to be an historic residential apartment building. Clean and quite modern rooms with shower and wc. Nice breakfast and plenty of tea and coffee, served in an amazing room with a ceiling akin to the Cistene Chapel! Located within easy walking distance of the Cathedral, the Royal Palace and the marina. Amazing street market nearby. Great service; we were late into Palermo and didn't arrive until ten minutes after reception 'closed', but big shout out to Arif who kept in touch via WhatsApp and waited for us to arrive.

I loved every single moment. It was authentic, beautiful beyond belief and more than a value for the price. The staff was very helpful giving me clear instructions every step of the way; from the arrival at Palermo airport and where to catch the transfer to finding the hotel, even shouting my name from the balcony as the premises are ‘hidden’ from the main street therefore safe and secluded. You feel like you are staying in a beautiful palazzo not in a low key hotel and that’s truly priceless.

Hotel Ballaro is gorgeous; walking up the grand staircase into the hotel area almost feels like you could be a background character in Romeo and Juliet. Unfortunately, our room wasn't ready on our arrival, despite having sent our flight information ahead of time, and we were missed receiving the instructions on how to actually enter the building once we found it, but once that was sorted out, we had a lovely stay.

Very basic but clean and safe and comfortable without frills. Staff was friendly, breakfast was a nice bonus and the cool old royal palace was definitely interesting. Location is easy, perhaps be cautious at night but otherwise didn’t feel unsafe.

The hotel's exterior is unassuming, with not much clear signage, but the inside courtyard is nice. The rooms were large and clean, and the external separate bathroom was nicely appointed. For a budget stay, I definitely recommend.

Hotel is a convenient 6 minute walk from the train / bus station. The entrance was difficult to find at first, apple maps said it was around the corner from where it actually was. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. The room and bathroom were clean. Downside: you can hear everything. The rooms are not soundproof as advertised. We could hear people talking in the hallway, the showers in the other rooms, and people entering and exiting the hotel. Other than this, it was an enjoyable stay.

Not great

Not my fav hotel and one which has a very odd owner see Google owner replies and the rooms are ok but I would not recommend more than one night /it is near the bus station and trains but the area around it is quite run down / overall I feel u can find better value elsewhere and I won't be back

Elegance for less.

We arrived in the evening and had a somewhat difficult time finding the entrance as there is no evident sign. There are many stairs and no lift, so travel light. The room was spare but clean and had a wonderful bed and the old palazzo was very quiet. It was all very clean and the breakfast was good and in a most picturesque room.

Within walking distance to some monuments. There's a supermarket nearby. Clean. Housekeeping threw away something i set aside (along with some other items) on the table. Make sure you keep any items away, unreachable. Otherwise, it might get thrown away. Comfortable bed. Quiet at night. Has heat + air conditioning. Breakfast is included & is good. Pastries, yogurt, some fresh fruits, some local. Shower + sink have good water pressure + drainage. Temperature was good except when it malfunctioned. Room has a mini fridge. The parking lot looks a bit dark at night, but its inside the secured area. I use the flashlight from my mobile phone for better lighting. Note there is no elevator to get to the hotel (starting from the 2nd floor, + no elevator inside the hotel. Staff are helpful. Front desk is not 24/7. The hot water system malfunctioned at night, this was fixed in the morning when staff arrived. Not sure what standard arrangements are possible for something like this after hours, but, it would be a bonus if staff can address these when they happen/as needed. Thabk you for the comfortable stay🙏

Great spot. Once you get inside, you’re greeted by an impressive early modern courtyard, with a set of stairs that are in themselves inspiring. As far as the hotel itself goes, a mere floor of a much grander building, everything is modern and efficient. The breakfast was typical Italian fare, with coffee, juice, fruit, and an excellent selection of pastries and jams. While a bit of a trek from the port, the hotel is a mere fall away from the train station, connecting you to the rest of Italy and Europe. If there were a downside, it’s a bit anonymous, with no central lounge or place for staff and travellers to interact.

The hotel is located in an old Palazzo, there are stairs to go up to access the entrance, the hotel itself is very bland and feels like a museum, the rooms are very basic and a little old. The street noise can be quite loud but does get quiet between midnight and 5 am. You can hear everything from your room including other guests. Staff are very nice and accommodating, breakfast is basic but good, location seems a little rough around the edges but it is actually quite well situated and we felt safe the entire time we were there. If you can deal with lack of sleep and basic amenities this hotel is perfect for your stay in Palermo.
