About Bed and Breakfast Al Galileo Siciliano

exterior Bed and Breakfast Al Galileo Siciliano exterior B&B Al Galileo Siciliano:
It's located in a quite old residence which has been completely modernized and rearranged for the occasion; it is placed in a typical borough of Downtown Palermo.
The B&B is set in a side street of the old Oreto avenue, a famous street which runs along the city from the entrance of the Highway to get to Catania and Messina (at 2 km) to Pellegrino Mountain going through the city centre (Oreto avenue, Maqueda ave, Quattro Canti, Ruggero Settimo ave, Liberty boulevard, Statue) and near at the principal monument and hospital center (Civico, Policlinico, ISMETT) at 450 metres.

The Structure:
The external façade of the building recalls the typical style of the old insular houses through its colours, materials, shutters, and balconies in marble and wrought iron which in old times decorated the Sicilian houses.
The structure is composed of four floors which can be reached through white marble stairs decorated with a wrought iron banister; ach room it's independent thanks to elegant little halls.
On the ground floor there are two great halls furnished as well as the rooms style where every morning guests have their rich breakfast.

non lasciatevi influenzare dalla zona circostante (un po' abbandonata a se stessa), il posto è molto bello e tranquillo, potete lasciare anche la vostra auto vicino al B&B senza alcun problema.

All Hotel's staffs were very kind, the man gaves me the city map and told me about the tourist attractions. The room was big and comfortable, fully equipped with bathroom, TV, refrigerator, safety box and air conditioner. Vi ringrazio per tutte cose, mi sono rilassata tanto. Se andro' a Palermo, vorrei stare qui ancora.

The surroundings scare a little the first day but most of Palermo looks like collapsing at any time. Gorgeous breakfast, nicest employees, 5 minutes walk from train station.

I guess no choose better this area, for novice traveller at Parelmo. Go to the Via Roma area or Corso vitt emanuele area! Because, dirty on the street between Station/ this B&B. Faces the street Via Oreto is some trash boxs burned! This area had garbage problem recently. But very kind neighboring people. Also don't warry, Parelmo is very clean city except for this area. Few Bar and Retaurant, a dark street at night. But, Supermarket is near.(This B&B is no kitcen. Small fridge is attached Rooms ) Excellent staff.(Few staff speaks english) Excellent breakfast!!

We were delighted with everything about our stay!We were warmly welcomed and time was taken to help us with our planning of places we were going to.Best breakfast we had in Italy!This establishment is easily 4 star quality.Be careful about directions,take a print out with you of road names,as it might not be so easy to find if it is your first time in Palermo,or when it is dark.A lift/elevator, is the only thing missing at the moment.

oh what a nice surprise!!although my second time in Palermo I enjoyed this b&b much more the the one I had last time which was given 5.4 by venere .This goes to show you the grades should be considered seriuosly!!The girl who welcomed me was so nice! she saw that I was tired and offered me coffee water juice-you name it! its more like a small hotel in perfect condition.THE BREAKFAST WAS GREAT!The only problem that can be corrected is a better explanation of the way from the station.Once you know it its really near and easy to find.It would have been nice if the municipality of Palermo bothered to mark this street properly.but till them the hotel should put in the venere map a map with landmarks where to turn I think its the second street to the left.

The hotel personal was extremely nice and helpful. They offered us transfer to and from the airport(though the train is ok), and gave us lots of info about the city. Breakfast is great! Warning:the street where the b&b is located is not very nice, but , don´t worry, it is safe!

We arrived late at night and thought the B&B would be easy to find, but the main street (Via Oreta) isn't signposted very well, so we walked around for what seemed like forever trying to find it! Our fault for not printing out the map provided by the B&B! Anyway, we did finally find Via GB Odierna (the side street off Via Oreta), but the B&B was also hard to locate - everything looks quite different, even slightly intimidating, at night. However, once inside, Al Galileo Siciliano has a beautiful, clean interior with polite, professional staff. Their English isn't very good (they say they're multi-lingual), but they tried nonetheless and so did we with our terrible Italian. Our air-conditioned room (with en-suite) was very well-kept: quiet, clean, nicely decorated - simple, how we like it - and was a real haven in a hot, noisy and chaotic city. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend the experience of Palermo and the B&B to anyone, but if you aren't so "streetwise", we would advise you spend a bit more and take advantage of the B&B's taxi service from the airport if you are arriving late at night or have heavy bags (the walk is only about 15-20 minutes), as some older people or those with disabilities may find the location a little unnerving, especially if you're a woman travelling alone. We really liked the colourful, characterful neighbourhood, especially when our Italian improved over the days! We would recommend this B&B for young couples, backpackers, people with pets and those with some Italian speaking ability.

El hotel es totalmente nuevo, impecable. La habitacion y el baño son muy amplios y luminosos. Muy buenos muebles, TV, frigobar. El desayuno, el mejor de 10 hoteles mas que estuvimos. La ubicacion no es mala, pero la calle en la que se encuentra asusta un poco, pero vayan tranquilos, todo bien.

très bon accueil, chambres spacieuses, agréables et impeccables, très bon petit déjeuner. seule inconvénient : un peu loin de l'hyper centre mais près de la gare et de la navette pour l'aéroport.

The staff made every effort possible to help us solve the problems we had when we asked our rented car to be delivered to the hotel. When you're not fluent in italian, solving these problems by phone with people speaking only their own native language can become quite complicated and frustrating. The staff avoided us all this.

It was amazing bed and breakfast i had ever had. Really tidy and clean. Location is not the best but comparing to the price is good enough. Still from GS it could be easily reached any place in Palermo even on foot. I was very satisfied staying there. would recommend it for sure.

driving in palermo is a scare. breakfast was good, yogurt, fresh fruit, and meat as well as sweets. had to walk up to 3rd floor (ground floor is 0 so you walk up 3 full flights). overall, would book again.

A good place in a not very beautiful area. Anyway I came back on foot in the night and nothing happened so I can say it is generally safe. Close to the station an to Ballarò market the rooms are silent and clean. Good breakfast. The properties are kind and helpful in giving information. Very good the quality vs.price and in general a place to reccomend.

Arriving late in the evenining into Palermo we had some difficulty following the directions from the station and were advised by the locals not to walk into the area of the guest house. Eventually we were accompanied by a local man who "could not let us walk alone in such an area". The location down a side street did not lend confidence but once through the door the welcome and efficiency were great. The room were spacious and clean and the breakfast (including fresh fruit) excellent. The place is great and the walk to it in daylight is a taste of Palermo but at night.....

Great location for visiting Palermo as 15 min walk to cathedral etc. Difficult to park. Great location for driving in and out of Palermo (remember to print a map to find the B&B). Overall a good stay.

We really liked this B&B, the rooms were very nicely decorated, spacious and very clean! There were even minifridges in every room! The staff was very nice and the breakfast was great! The only bad thing was its location, it is quite difficult to get there and the neighbourhood is not the nicest in Palermo, but we didn't had any problems, we even left the car parked outside the front door for 2 days. I would definitely recommend this B&B!

Warm welcome, the staff was really helpful with everything we needed during our stay and they provided us with several useful info (touristic attractions, restaurants, museums, buses, etc.). Good breakfast, clean and spacious room. Good location to visit Palermo, very close to railway station. Surroundings not very attractive... but that's Palermo!

This B&B was a lucky choice for us. We just wanted something unpretentious. Situated in a nice little but lively street surrounded with Palermian everyday life, this accomodation gives you the feeling of beeing part of the city. No glitter, but very friendly and helpful staff, nice breakfast and a good taste in arranging the rooms made us feel very comfortable.
