I had an amazing breakfast just in front of reception during my stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable but being at the back next to the dining area had its drawbacks. The service was outstanding, with the staff going out of their way on numerous occasions. The location was fantastic, within walking distance of the station and most of Palermo's main attractions. The dining experience was delightful, with a variety of tasty options available.
