Palermo hotels near Piazza Pretoria

Pros: Our fourth stay (five days at the end of December) in two years, every time is like coming back home. All the Staff members are hard workers, kind and collaborative. The location is the best in Palermo (THE place to be during locals celebrations and feasts). Minor issues have been promptly solved. The room was big and very calm. Thank you!

Cons: The garage, being in the historical center, can be reached only through very narrow streets, so beware if you have a big car or are not used to drive in Italy :)

Pros: Beautiful interior. Gym. Nice little area out the front to sit. Great central location and close enough to walk to main station.

Cons: No tea making facilities which surprised me in such a big hotel. Wi-Fi unreliable. Dinner in restaurant much too salty.

Pros: Staff was very helpful

Cons: Difficult to get onto location to park the car.

Cons:

Pros: Very good breakfast selection

Cons: Bathroom door will not close properly

Pros: Great staff, good price, close to English garden, main Street, fifteen minute walk to downtown, close to great restaurants. Secure parking for low price

Pros: The room was large and beds very comfortable.

Cons: The breakfast room was really cramped. There weren't enough egg cups !! The waitress had to get egg cups off other guests table and wash them! Other than that the breakfast was great. The safe didn't work properly and we ended up using a safe in another room which was empty.

Pros: The location was central.

Cons: First, the day of my check-out I went to get breakfast and came back in time to back for my 12pm check-out. When I can in he told me not to use the room or bathroom because they already made the room. Housekeeping had to leave early so the room had to be done early. But the room should have been mine and for my use until noon. The second problem I had was at checkout when he told me I had to pay 24 euros more for the extra person that stayed in my room. The night before my friend came from his nearby hotel and we watched movies and when he fell asleep I did not wake him, he just slept and left the next morning. When I asked to see where it says I should pay extra, he said “it’s this way in Italy” but I’m pretty sure that’s not a law, that would be a policy of the hotels and I would like to see where it’s written. Of course he could not show me, and when you do a simple search online you can easily see the room with the double bed is the same price for one or two people (I attached a simple screen shot to illustrate this). The only difference in the price is the city tax per person. To me it seemed a very unprofessional way of squeezing a bit more money out of the client. He told me he had been working in hotels for 40 years. Well, welcome to the age of the internet where things are more transparent. My final issue was that I was double taxed for the city tax. I paid once here on booking.com and paid upon leaving the hotel as well. The money is not a lot, it's the unprofessional treatment that really annoys me. The man treated me like I was a dumb foreigner.

Pros: The hotel was great for us taking the Ferry tomorrow. The staff were exceptional in helping us out trying fix a booking problem as as aresult of a missed fliught. Exceptional staff.

Pros: It is a 4 stars modern hotel with all comforts and not so expensive. Rooms are very clean and breakfast quite good.

Cons: The location seems in the night not so safe for parking your car. The private parking offered by the hotel is quite expensive

Cons: Location & breakfast

Pros: Beautiful little boutique hotel. Very clean and staff was very helpful. The location is close to shopping and restaurants which is very convenient. Would recommend.

Cons: The hotel itself was fantastic. When you leave the hotel to walk around, there are ridiculous amounts of garbage piled in the streets which makes it very unpleasant.

Pros: the stuff The room The willing to help

Pros: The host of the hotel is very gentle and offered us nice coffee and pastry. The room is clean. The location of the hotel is a bit of walk from the attractions, but in general the neighborhood is safe.

Pros: Breakfast was large with many options. Staff was friendly, fun and helpful. Our room had all good amenities.

Cons: The location was farther from the city center than we wanted, but we appreciated how quiet it was. There were three very good restaurants quite close to the hotel. But the main reason we booked in the first place! was to have a secure place for our car. Their parking area was perfect!

Pros: The breakfast was nice, with traditional local pastries.

Cons: It's a bit far from the historic center of the city.

Pros: The hotel had a nice view from the breakfast restaurant and it was nice looking hotel overall

Cons: The location is terrible, isn't safe to walk late at night or evenings, far from city centre .. also didn't like that you had to pay even for bottle of water.. wifi didn't work as well

Pros: The hotel is in a decent location, the staff are pleasant enough and the buffet breakfast was fantastic. The staff in the restaurant were the most friendly and helpful.

Cons: The rooms are not 4 star quality and are not worth the price you pay. There was a massive crack in the window, the bathroom was scuffed with a crack on the toilet seat, the phone didnt work and only 1 plug socket worked. We told a member of staff who was asking guests about their stay and whether they were happy with the facilities but nothing was done.

Pros: Rooms were spacious Staff were polite and courteous

Cons: Food ..Restaurant is not great and did not have any varieties, purely local cuisine, Breakfast is just cold meats and pastries Not good for Family with Children Facilities No AirCon in Winter months and that is not specified as disclaimer in the booking

Pros: Breakfast was great big selection hotel out side looked ok and inside the lobby was fine. Shower had a great flow. The room was clean and tidy. Staff friendly. Helped in any way possiable the lady who greeted us in the breakfast room asked us if every thing was ok and did we need a map of the city to help us get around.

Cons: Pillow’s and mattress was hard the room we were in was looking a bit tired carpets had stains on them in the room and also in the hallway carpets there was no drawers to put in your underwear. The units were need of upgrading.

Cons: Initial room was not good #914, no WIFI accessibility from this room. Staff was not very cooperative until we informed them that we were Travel Agents, then we were relocated to 1209, a wonderful suite at no extra cost. We certainly appreciated that.

Pros: Parking place, very large hotel

Cons: Poor breakfast, poor internet connection, old hotel is was probably great in the 90s

Pros: Beds excellent

Cons: Service/reception staff nonchalant. Poor information of bus/tram transports from hotel. Poor info of restaurants nearby. Breakfast service poor. Old slow toast. Tea cups not available. No vegetables whatsoever. Room furniture poor, no wardrobe. The malin problem was the hotel geography, far from city, slum blocks to pass walking. Ambulance disturbing transports to nearby hospital. Summary: Not a 4 star hotel standard!
