Convenient for a weekend
Just ok. The rooms were in a newer building of the hotel next door. Not as roomy as the original hotel building so the breakfast area is quite cramped and no common space at all in the new building. Rooms nice and modern though. Great location.

Simple, clean rooms with everythingyou need for a short stay including a fridge and daily clean linen. Good location, close to the train/bus station and historic centre. Very helpful, we arrived before check-in and we able to change and leave our luggage which the put in our room when it was free. Messaged us to let us know when the room was avaliable and we we able to leave bags on our last day as we had a late flight. Breakfast was lots of pastries. Would stay again.

This was the most amazing hotel experience - from behind the entrance to the street it was like entering another world - a palatial old worldly mansion. The new hotel tucked up inside was perfectly clean . We had a 4 bed room with massive amount of space, high ceilings , bathroom , aircon & spotlessly clean . The staff were so welcoming & friendly & breakfast was ideal. Unfortunately I can’t give 5 stars as the neighbourhood felt very unsafe - and travelling with kids it was quite daunting. Would have felt quite fearful if we couldn’t get through the main gate quickly. For adults looking for a slice of the majestic old world Palermo it would be fine. Very convenient to Quattro Canti … 7mins - straight road.

Great stay!
This hotel was great. The room was clean, had everything I needed (and not to be American about it but the aircoditioning in my room worked great).. The staff were very welcoming and understanding, especially when there was a very serious screw up on my part regarding my reservation dates. I liked the location since it was super convenient to be near the central train station; the farthest I had to go to get anywhere was to get the bus that goes to Monreale. Getting to and from Cefal and the airport was easy. I took two busses to get to Mondello but the stop to start the journey was just around the corner. If you don’t mind walking a normal vacation amount, you are near the Palermo highlights. The old palazzo is handsome, and there’s a beautiful trompe l’œil just hanging out in the breakfast area. If you need a pristine neighborhood, this is not quite your place but I felt perfectly safe (I was reminded by a shop owner to watch my bag once) Breakfast is standard but good (and again, very warmly staffed). If you’re a solo traveler, I definitely recommend this spot for quality of accommodations, quality of staff, and location.

The hotel was a hidden gem right by the Four Corners (about 5min walk). Very friendly and kind staff, clean place right downtown. 5min walk to a Hop On/Hop off stop and perfect for an evening stroll via busy downtown.

The staff were incredibly friendly, the complimentary breakfast was a lovely touch, and its proximity to major attractions made exploring the city effortless. there were a couple of drawbacks worth mentioning. In the evenings, the surrounding area felt unsafe for walking, particularly when returning from dinner. Additionally, noise levels throughout the day were quite high, which could be disruptive at times.

In a building that was grand in its day but is now « crumblingly photogenic »—but in the courtyard only—which is now the parking lot. Not super easy to find as just had a small sign on the wall. Breakfast service was quite good and the lady serving was nice. The front desk appeared to be unmanned virtually always. Rooms are clean but VERY basic and bathroom had a giant break-your-head-open 8 inch high step up from the bedroom. If you’re on a budget, the location is decent and walkable to most areas of interest but it’s pretty basic and the neighborhood’s kinda grubby. We must have lucked out that someone was at the desk when we arrived as we never saw anyone there at any time thereafter and we would have been up the proverbial creek.

The staff at Ballarò were very accommodating and the breakfast each morning was more than satisfactory. The room was basic but clean. The only downsides were the location and the noise in the hotel. The hotel is located on what appears to be a very run-down street that does not feel safe at night. As for noise, the soundproofing in my room was less than satisfactory and I was awoken on many occasions (including in the early hours of the morning) by loud noises outside in the hall. As a side note, the pillows were not very comfortable but this was not a major issue. Overall, my stay was pleasant.

Excellent location, an easy walk from the train station and the best historical monuments. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the building has historic charm. Breakfast is a great bonus, with yogurt and fruit in addition to the usual patties. Highly recommended as great value for money.

We chose this hotel because it is close to the bus station. To our surprise, we were informed that the room did not have a bathroom and in fact the bathroom was across the hall. This information was not in the room descriptions. How we were supposed to know what "private bathroom" means across the hall. We were shocked. Not worth for its price.
