Hotels near Museo di Zoologia Pietro Doderlein, Palermo

A magnificent hotel, with luxury facilities in an old palazzo in the historic center of Palermo. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable, with all the services. The service is very correct and willing. It has a piano bar, garden terrace and a very good environment, right in the heart of all the tourist attractions of Palermo and leisure and restaurant areas, without any noise or problems at all. Absolutely recommended.

I and two other friends stayed at Hostel Agata. We booked the hostel as it was fairly central. The train station was 10 odd minutes away which was handy for when we left Palermo and day trip to Cefalú. Hostel Agata is also close to all the touristic destinations that we wanted to visit. We were looked after very well by the hosts Francesco, Naomi and Anthony. Nothing was a bother and we always had any request fulfilled with a smile. The breakfast is served at the cafe beside the hostel, and we enjoyed the drinks, sandwiches and pizza from the cafe. The main road can be a little loud due to single glazed window, but contrary to some comments we read prior to booking, we found the hostel to be very clean. Will definitely stay here again if I return and shall recommend it to my other friends.

Excellent stay, room with a wonderful sea view, abundant breakfast, very professional receptionist service, excellent price. At the end of my stay I paid only 4€ of taxes in total for 2 people.

First of all, the location is perfect and the rooftop makes it possible to relax and have the best view over Palermo. Let’s talk about the staff. Never in any destination I’ve meet a staff so friendly, funny, helpful and generous. The hostel has everything you need, kitchen, free food, music instruments, play rooms, amazing outdoor areas, bar, and a pool is upcoming too. The rooms are really clean and spacey. Bed and room temperature is comfortable. The only problem was that I had to leave.

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.

I stayed at this hotel for one week in October 2023. This was my first time in Sicily and my first time in Palermo. I had a very memorable experience indeed! The rooms are very clean and comfortable. They are also very spacious! The hotel is also located in an excellent location close to the Mercato Ballaro and it's just right around the corner from Piazza Politeama. The staff were all very friendly, polite, and helpful. I would definitely stay there again and definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is thinking of going to Palermo!

An improbable villa! Spacious, clean, tastefully decorated and well-equipped rooms. Our room had a large private balcony. You can enjoy another huge shared terrace with chairs and deckchairs... there is a garden with nooks and crannies, everything is clean and maintained. Go up to see the panoramic view, room stocked with books and binoculars. Breakfast is royal, outside or inside depending on the weather. Common room with kitchen and fridge. The 2 brothers who own it give advice for visiting the region. Small beaches and nearby beaches. All this 30 km from Palermo... €72.50 for 2! INCREDIBLE + easy parking on the street

After EasyJet cancelled our flight as we were boarding our late evening flight we found ourselves being ferried to this small town miles from the airport and arrived at 5am along with 50 other tired and harried passengers to be met by a smiling and very efficient manager who dispensed with the usual checking in - he had all 50 guests in bedrooms within 15 minutes. The bedrooms were clean comfortable air conditioned and mostly with balconies and we were all asleep by 530am. The next day he had arranged breakfast for the extra 50 guests and then a delicious lunch . The manager and his amazing staff put up our constant queries about being collected, fixed us drinks at the bar, and provided a reassuring presence at a very stressful time. The hotel itself was comfortable, airy and spacious; our room was not wanting and the fresh bed and well appointed bathroom ensured that we felt as human as possible under the difficult circumstances. We landed on our feet in an unlikely town but realised you should never judge a book by its cover.
