The place is not up to standard. Very old building with little maintenance. Electrical fittings are old and don't inspire confidence. No wardrobe or mini fridge, the paint on the wall needs a new coat and the curtains need replacing. The air condition unit looks like 15 years old. I switched it off after 2 minutes as it was letting off a bad smell. No luggage store that can be locked. Only thing in good/almost new condition is the en suite bathroom. Common areas are cluttered with old stuff. Thanked my stars I was there for just 1 night. Otherwise I would have looked for another place.

Mycket bra läge
Coolt ställe mitt i centrala Palermo. Ingen personal utan ägaren fanns tillgänglig på telefon. Rummet enkelt och lite slitet badrum men helt funktionsdugligt och rent.
Hotellet/B&B ligger veldig bra til. Verten er imøtekommende og serviceinnstilt. Rommene er veldig bra og rent. Stortrivdes. Mot eksentrisk. Er ikke frokost inkludert, men bra med alternativer i området. Uten rengjøring på rommet. Ett hotell man drar tilbake til.

Great location , helpful owner, funky and quirky B&B. Had a wonderful time .
Никто не встретил, хотя заранее предупреждали в переписке. Приехали, дверь закрыта, на звонки не отвечал. Мы уехали. Через неделю списали деньги о счета. Мошенники!
Da hat jemand mit viel Geschmack und Ideen eine ganz ungewöhnliche Unterkunft geschaffen. Die Wände von einem Künstler bemalt,antike Lampen,bequeme GROßE Betten -ein Aufenthalt den man nicht vergißt. Der Gastgeber Vito mahm sich eine Stunde Zeit um uns einen Plan zur Entdeckung Palermos zu machen, mit Geduld und Charme. Falls mal wieder in Palermo - nur da wieder.

Ejeren var sød og rar, men rengøringen svigtede de sidste 4-5 dage.
Perfekte Lage mitten in Palermo, sehr schöne Einrichtung, sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Vermieter. Verbessert werden könnte das Wlan (fiel manchmal aus) und Wasserkocher zum Teekochen o.ä. im Zimmer.
Super location off one of the main busy / popular roads. Walkable to basically everything. Good for solo travellers

When i did the booking i was looking at hotels in Palermo Buenos Aires and it show me this one for an amazing price after i booked it turns out to be in Palermo Italy. Just make sure you Google the address before booking as it is not refundable.
Very friendly check in person who we also saw out that night and talked to. She was very welcoming when we arrived,booked an airport transfer for us and recommended places to go that night for a meal.
The breakfast venue was also very good.
Other points - check which room you book as the room on the photo of the B&B is not necessarily the one you have booked - you can upgrade at additional cost!!
Room spacious - shower needs looking at as the head leaks.
