Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 13:00 to 20:00, which may be tight if your flight arrives late. The property doesn't mention a 24-hour desk.
  • Street noise in places — One review notes the hotel overlooks the street, and another mentions occasional noise and traffic typical of Palermo. The property is on a city street, not a quiet enclave.
  • No pets and no smoking — The property is smoke-free throughout and doesn't allow pets, which may be a limitation for some travellers.
  • Small-scale, no on-site parking guarantee — One review mentions free parking nearby, but there's no on-site lot listed. Parking may require finding a spot on surrounding streets.
