Hotels near Teatro Massimo, Palermo

It was a rainy day on our entry, we parked our car at the gate and walked under rain and waited at the main gate for 10 minutes more until the receptionist opened the door. We were as wet as rats until welcomed to main building after a 100 meters more walking. Hotel is a fantastic old palace like building, architecture is breath taking, it gives a different sprit, however rooms are at base level with small windows, most probably which were servant rooms originally, not suitable to spend much time. Hotel is away from Palermo center, if you don't plan to use car, it will be very hard to manage your Palermo visit. Breakfast was excellent, the lady serving the breakfast was so friendly and so helpful. After spending 4 days in Palermo, I would say, Gattopardo was ok but we saw better alternatives in the city center with the same price range.

For the hotel set by cruise ship, the location is just opposite the pier, and there is also its own free parking lot, which is super convenient. The room is a budget hotel, which is quite satisfactory. The most unexpected thing was the hotel's breakfast, which was hearty, and overlooked the harbour. It's not far from the scenic area, if you can, you can walk along the beach to Sijiaochang and the Royal Palace. We walked slowly for about 45 minutes. Overall very satisfied.

We stayed at this hotel two separate times during our stay in Sicily in April 2022. It's a lovely hotel. It's right in the middle of so many sights and felt safe. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable with big bathrooms. One of our rooms had a view of the hills and the other was street side. My mom's room had a huge balcony that we spent time on soaking up the sun and the sounds of the city. My main reason for writing this review to highlight the AMAZING care the staff provided to my mom and her friend. They caught COVID and were quarantined to this hotel. I was terrified leaving them in Sicily while I went home but the staff took such good care of them. They knew their room number and would ask how my mom was feeling when she called to order breakfast (which is a great breakfast by the way). They helped coordinate retesting. They reassured my mom and were always available to help. My mom and her friend were living off room service and would rave about how great the food and wine was. One employee in particular, Barbara, went above and beyond. She would stop by to see my mom and help her with whatever she needed, such as going to the supermarket to get medical supplies. They were stuck there over Easter and she even brought my mom a chocolate Easter bunny :) and she brought them flowers too and it really brightened their day. My mom and her friend both said she had such a pleasant personality and made them feel cared about and loved. I truly believe their great service actually helped my mom and her friend recover quicker. It was so reassuring knowing that they were in caring hands. We want to go back as soon as they can and will pick this hotel again. Thank you everyone who works there!

Because it is the last stop of the journey, and considering the hotel chain, our vigilance is reduced. When I went to breakfast, I didn't lock the suitcase. When I returned to China, I found that one thousand yuan in the suitcase was gone. I suspect it was stolen in this hotel, because there are lock boxes in other places, and staying here. The RMB in front of the hotel has always been there. I have seen the experience of other people before I traveled. I know that Italy has such a theft incident. I didn’t expect it to happen to myself. I can only blame myself for being too big.

Ottimo ...ma.....una piccola nota per nn perdere il pregio che il proprietario merita La struttura è situata al centro di Palermo,il proprietario una persona disponibile ,gentile,ti consiglia ecc....nulla da ridire ...solo tanti complimenti.Ma il personale è da rivalutare, abbiamo messo il materassino da mare sul terrazzino per asciugarlo insieme all ombrellone (ovviamente chiuso),il giorno seguente nn c era traccia di nulla.Allora dopo varie opzioni ho deciso di andare nella camera deposito lenzuola e l ho trovato nascosto in un angolo e dell ombrellone nn c era traccia.il lgiorno della partenza mi sono recata dalla ragazza dicendole di essermi permessa di entrare nello stanzino per cercare il mio materassino ecc....lei ha risposto che nn sapeva nulla né dell uno e né dell altro,in realtà la sua faccia è stata poco convincente dato che l accesso al balcone era consentito solo a loro attraverso due modi:1 la chiave della stanza 2 il balcone in comune con lo stanzino dove loro si soffermavano a fumare.Mi dispiace per il proprietario che è una persona meritevole,ma wlla ragazza nn ha creduto nessuno.Ah ! Dimenticavo nn avevamo nessuna intenzione di portare l ombrellone a casa ,l avremmo lasciato lì comunque,ma per il materassino le è andata male

This hotel is located in a courtyard that is connected to a vibrant area in the city . The room was very spacious and clean. Staff was low-key but very receptive. I was dumb enough to lock the safe while the door was open and they sent someone immediately to reset it. Breakfast was a nice variety of pastries, fruit, yogurt, etc. They have a nice back patio for breakfast and dinner, and there was live music one night and a soccer game another night. Cleaning staff were very polite and friendly. I’d recommend that you hit the streets for lunch and dinner, as the opportunities are endless. Highly recommended!

Convenient because it is adjacent to the downtown area. The room feels spacious because it is kept in the minimum necessary facilities. The front desk is polite. I was introduced to the restaurant, but there was no pinpoint introduction.

Arriving at a Friday around noon by car there was almost no option to even stop your car for 5min to check in. At the reception we were told that there was 'free parking' around the corner, which was at that time definitely not the case. They could not point us to a paid parking. We finally found 'Parcheggio del Porto' directly next to Ibis, which was available for 15EUR/day. The street in front of the hotel is an extremely busy thoroughfare and the windows are not very noise insulated. The room (Suite) was spacious, clean, and generally nice but due to facing the street rather noisy. While the hotel was generally OK, the breakfast was lacking and very basic / cheap. No eggs / omlette, weird teas, etc. We paid 150EUR/night for the 40sqm room. I might chose the hotel again but it definitely does not deserve a current 8.7 rating on b***ing com. Due to noise, breakfast, and un-helpfulness concerning parking I thus rate it average.

We went to Palermo for my birthday this February, given it's still cold we wanted to be very central to be able to get around easily. The hotel is very well located and is close enough to all the tourist spots in Palermo. Olga at reception, is very helpful and knowledgeable about places to visit and things to do. Note that the hotel is old but is very clean with fresh linen being supplied as needed. We would definitely stay there again. Great restaurant downstairs from the hotel is a bonus.

La struttura è pulitissima, ben organizzata e curata, con la zona piscine e vasca Jacuzzi che è veramente un gioiellino con una vista mozzafiato su Palermo. Stanza ampia, luminosa e pulitissima. Servizio professionale e sempre attento al dettaglio. Il ristorante è di ottima qualità e varietà di scelta. Potrebbero secondo me sfruttare la zona piscina anche la sera, visto il tanto spazio e la presenza del chiosco bar, con della musica da sottofondo, e luci soffuse per un bel aperitivo o cocktail bordo piscina con vista panoramica. Creare una situazione tranquilla, rilassante, dove poter interagire con gli altri ospiti, semplice ma efficace. La posizione infatti, un poco fuori mano ti obbliga la sera a prendere l'auto o una navetta e andare a Palermo. Un consiglio, il ristorante è un po' caro, soprattutto in rapporto alla quantità delle porzioni, anche se la qualità è alta. La pizza è nella media generale. Potrebbe invogliare più ospiti a restare a cena, anche se poi devi creare qualcosa, come detto prima, per far vivere la bella struttura anche nelle ore serali. Unica nota dolente, ahimè, dopo il check out delle 11, sei obbligato ad andare via. La maggior parte delle strutture invece, ti consente di restare un'altra mezza giornata in piscina, dove tra l'altro è facile prendere delle consumazioni al bar. Questa cosa va migliorata secondo me. Volevo restare fino alle 14, per godere un'altra ora della Jacuzzi, ma nonostante ho chiesto varie volte, la cosa mi è stata negata e non insistendo, sono andato via. Tornerò sicuramente, perché mi sono trovato veramente bene. Spero che la direzione dell'hotel prenda le mie considerazioni, non come critiche, ma come consigli. Per il resto tutto veramente ottimo
