The property is indeed unique- a very modern and nicely fitted out hotel, hidden away in a crumbling atmospheric palazzo. My bed was comfortable, my water hot, my sockets all working. It fely very safe, breakfast was nice, the staff excptional. Very close to the station, but on a main street in the old city. Only disadvantage: no lift. So for people who can't do stairs, it's ill advised. I loved the hotel and would certainly choose it again.

Room was basic but clean, bed was comfy. No room service or food service other than breakfast, no flexibility around earlier breakfast times as food is brought in. A safe place to sleep rather than a hotel. Staff very friendly.

We arrived in Palermo at night. Being unsure of where we needed to go, we followed our map app until we found the site. We were confused, tired, and I'm sorry to say a bit grumpy. We didn't understand (or remember) this hotel was inside a structure built in the 1300's. I apologized for my rudeness upon first arriving (and after a good night's sleep). This hotel was very good. I recommend it to travelers providing they understand it isn't a Hilton; it's a historical building in a city thousands of years old. It is close to the train station and several beautiful churches and good food!

This hotel is 18th century mansion that is falling apart. The bathroom smelled of sewage. The shower was just a curtain on the side so taking a shower meant flooding the bathroom. The toilet did not flush without manually doing so inside the tank. The bed was super hard! My advise is stay away from this place

You can hardly call it a hotel. I would say it’s a low level hostel. There is one attendant that does everything, reception, breakfast, cleaning, etc. you can stay by the door and ring for 15 min before someone opens the soor

This hotel was a perfect Sicilian treat, architecture, was amazing a 750 year old home, turned into a small hotel and private apartments. We arrived by cab after a very long flight at 22:00 , we thought we were in the wrong place, neighborhood was a bit scary, a tiny sign no lights, and we didn’t know how to open the door, luckily i had the hotel # were buzzed in,the owner was very nice, when the door was opened , it was magical, it opened to a court yard with cars and a grand staircase went up 50 steps, to hotel entrance, the owner helped us with our luggage, this guys gets a work out , the room was very clean, nothing special ikea bed and mattress , so many things to bang your head on in the room, but the room looked into the amazing courtyard, it was quite because it was not on the street. , but very noisy in morning, other guest doors slammed breakfast being prepared ect, but we wanted to get up any way so no problem, the breakfast was served in a beautiful room with a 750 year old mural painted on the ceiling, very special , breakfast was local sweets ,juice and an amazing cappuccino , small sandwiches, which was perfect, i don’t eat breakfast normally. the room was very small and i wish we could have had access to this beautiful room which had a small balcony and view of one of the streets that went to the market, but we were only allowed in for breakfast. That was a bummer it would’ve been nice to have a place to sit and watch Palermo go by.

Once we were able to find the property it was good but it was difficult to find, we arrived at night and the area was a little sketchy. We were lead to believe parking was available and it wasn’t close. However, the hotel was located in a unique building, room had a balcony overlooking the old town streets and breakfast room and food was amazing. My recommendation is arrive during the day, the area feels completely different then and don’t drive in Palermo if you can avoid it.

I paid $67 for the cheapest available room. Room was clean. The exterior door to the balcony has no weather or soundproofing. It sounds like you are right outside next to the traffic (all night). I would look for another property in a similar price range next time due to the sound. But this hotel and in a good location

Step back in time.

The hotel location is very good. Close to rail station and popular sites. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Helped with travel advice to get to the property from airport. The property is very very old. Which means it’s all marble and stone and everything echoes. Room was clean and nice. The only real downside is the noise outside. It seems the center of Palermo never sleeps. Be prepared to wear ear plugs or get woke many times a night by loud noises. This of course is no fault of the Ballarò and I would not let it keep you from staying there. Just something to be aware of.
