Very pleased with comfortable 1 BR apartment with well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, terrace, and convenient central location. Easy walk to train station and tourist sites, and bus stop out front to Mondello. Must be able to climb stairs, and be sure to contact ahead of time to arrange check-in time. They are very responsive, but there is not always someone at the desk.

Great spot to start exploring. Close to street markets and center town, some noise from the restaurants around but not too noisy at night. Good compromise for convenience and price.
The smell of fried and grilled meat from the street restaurants on the back street do get into the appartment and it is slightly disturbing and surprising.

The room was much bigger than expected.
Our bathroom was not inside of the room, even though it was private for us with a key. However, still not that much comfortable. The location is really central however, on a Friday night the pub next to the hotel was open until morning and we heard all voices inside of the room until 3 am.

In the city center, the family studio has everything what you need for a short stay. It was clean and quiet. It's also very close to the main train and bus station. We loved that the check-in is actually with a person, (not just endless codes and finding your way).
Wifi is quite slow, but we didn't mind.

We weren't expecting to walk into what felt like a 5 star hotel! Wish we had booked our whole stay in palermo here instead of just 1 night. Great location too really close to the main street with loads or restaurants and bars.

The hostel is very clean and comfortable. The location is wonderful, right in the city center. The staff is very helpful, and the room is always kept clean.
There is a very bad smell in the bedroom.

Location is great, the room was big and clean.
I was a bit disappointed they don't have breakfast, which was a big plus on the advert. Pictures were misleading. The reason they gave was "because of Covid", which makes no sense since there's practically no restriction left.

The location was very cosy and really close to everything. The personal was really nice and very helpful, even though they didn't speak english. We had cleaning every morning.
