"They really need a facelift in a number of areas-bathrooms, lighting in common areas to relax; couches outside the superb breakfast room are torn It’s a beautiful hotel with terrific service that needs a bit more attention. Take a page from the Hotel Quirinale playbook in Roma."

Palermo cathedral is beautiful. Food and drink was reasonably priced & delicious! We traveled by train to Monreale, the cathedral is a must see. Cefalu is easy to reach by train from Palermo & is very picturesque, well worth visiting.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Interesting city with plenty of authentic local culture. People were mostly friendly.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Palermo is a bit tired and run down. Poverty is evident in beggars and empty buildings. Food is plentiful and comparatively cheap compared to Europe. I wouldnt necessarily visit Palermo again but the landscape outside the city is lovely.
