Liked: Staff & service
Property was hard to find. Entry was very “scary”. Large double old wood doors with a small cut out that was difficult to get in and out of. Once inside the “lobby” was very unsettling. Like the building was deserted. Property needs a much better job of identifying its location AND, updating the entry. Hotel is on the second level…. Nothing is on the ground floor, very strange. Once inside the hotel, it was clean and attractive. At night, bar across the street was non-stop. Hotel supplies ear plugs in the room and, after the first night, we knew why. Staff was friendly and breakfast was good.

We really enjoyed our stay at Afea. Location was great and there was lots of free on street parking nearby. We had to drive around for a bit to find a space but managed to find one eventually. The instructions to checkin were great and really easy. Communication beforehand was really good, always answered any questions. Staff were really lovely and breakfast was good too. Would definitely recommend. Great location too!

Great stay in Palermo

Afea art & room was great. Our room had so much space which was great. Friendly staff and lovely Sicilian breakfast and there was so much of it too. We hired a car during our stay which was great for seeing more of the island but finding parking was challenging. Also good to be aware that it can be quite noisy at night with people dining outside but we got used to it. I recommend staying here for sure!!

Nice overnight stay in Palermo

Loved the room decor. It was a very good location for us close to the port to catch a ferry. Quiet area with plenty of dining options nearby. Breakfast was really nice. Was given a key to use for the luggage storage and bathroom available after we had checked out was very useful. Had some communication issues largely due to Hotel.com messaging system otherwise would have been top marks.

Claudio was a great host! Large room and a great location. A little difficult to find at first. Hotel is on one floor of an apartment building and sometimes the lights would automatically shut off in the main hall.

The staff is super communicative, friendly and informative. The hotel and room are clean and nicely decorated, the air conditioning is modern, the bathroom is large. The check in was easy and smooth. The property is in walking distance to all major sites. The building is a bit older and there is a bit of an odour in the bathroom and from the ac, its not entirely unpleasant but it is noticeable, if you are sensitive to smells it may be an issue.

This place was very nice. The staff was very accommodating and the breakfast was excellent. We were in the Flamingo room so unfortunately the reception is right outside the door and you can hear all the talking in the morning. Also there was a sewage smell in the bathroom every time we flushed the toilet.

Quirky

Loved the quirky art works around the B&B and in our room. Entry to building quite complicated although reasonable instructions provided. Need ‘Afea’ sign on entry door on level 1 as I wasn’t sure if it was the right place. Location good for walking around Palermo. Staff very friendly but only there for a couple of hours each day. Beds comfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort

Conveniently close to the port.

The B&B is reasonably well run. It has all the amenities and is clean and quiet However I need to report an incident that anyone using this facility should note. The B&B is located on the second floor of an older building. On one occasion, I accidentally got off the elevator one floor above. I thought it would be simple to merely walk down the stairs to the correct floor. However part way down, I found the stairway unlit and very difficult to see the steps. As I was descending around a curve in the stairway, I missed a step and fell, even though I was holdiing the handrail. The steps are of smoothe marble avd quite slippery if you miss a step. I fell onto my shoulder and was very fortunate that I didnt hit my head or break a bone. I would strongly urge the management to put safety treads on the stairway and provide adeqate loghting of the stairway.
