I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were pristine with excellent facilities, but the mattress was not very comfortable. The private terrace offered stunning views that took my breath away. The service was top-notch with mature staff members providing exceptional assistance. The location in central Palermo was simply mesmerizing. The dining experience was delightful, although the coffee was not up to par. Overall, the facilities were fantastic, and I truly enjoyed my time here.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel with stunning views from the small balcony. The rooms were comfortable, but the mattress could have been better. The mature staff members provided excellent service, making my stay even more enjoyable. The central location in Palermo allowed me easy access to all the sites I wanted to visit.
