The two of us spent 10 days in this hotel and from beginning to end we were satisfied both with the service on the ground and the description of it on the website. Staff were helpful and allowed us to experiment with our Italian. Food ws fine. There is a working port out front, but to us that was bonus, as we were on a 'working holiday' (a Conference)and it kept us in touch with the city's life. And Palermo is an unbelievable city

8.2

Nice stay in Palermo. The parking price is a bit too high. But the breakfast is very nice. At the top I should say.

7.6

Excellent value for the price paid. Rooms are definetely not fancy (nor is breakfast: very nice breakfast room, but the buffet is basically a large choice of non exciting food). I wonder if all the rooms are the same or if we were a bit unlucky (nothing really wrong, but just a look of decline - almost shabbyness). We personally had some problems with a neighbour taking a bath at 6 am (you could hear everything) but otherwise the room would have been quiet (no road noise). I reccomend if you are looking for a basic accomodation and are not expecting a 4 star. Extremely nice and helpful staff and good location.

The hotel is quite old. Breakfast not very good. Coffee horrible. Check-in time at 2 pm and check-ut at 10am.

9.6

I stayed in Palermo for three days and I really loved it! The excellent hotel took it's part in this general good experience! Only "bad" feedback is that the front office staff wasn't well informed about car rental companies (Europcar). When asked they gave us a wrong information which caused serious problem to us. She didn't even care to double check her answer. But well, shit happens!

Quality Hotel President - Fantastico. My wife and I stayed for three nights and all staff were excellent. Reception staff spoke very good English and were very helpful. The room was very clean and decor was bright and welcoming. We ate in the hotel resturant and the food and service were excellent. The waiters made us feel very welcome and the breakfast buffet choice was good. We had a fantastic time at this hotel and value for money makes this choice a no brainer. We are looking forward to staying again next year.

Lo mejor del hotel es su localización: muy cercano a la zona centro de la ciudad.

6.2

Good, ma very, very small room

9.8

This hotel was a very pleasant surprise as we did not expect anything as big and professionally run as this was for the price. The rooms were a good size with all mod cons including Air Con that worked beautifully. Location was a little seedy being at the port but it was really close to everything we needed. Especially loved Emanuela in the bar where we had our nightcap before retiring each night. There were three of us all in single rooms and all just as pleased. Breakfast was a buffet with a good selection and included in the price.

8.0

OK location. Ideal if using ferry

4.9

location is bad and the hotel is a tad naff but the breakfast good and it was cheap

8.7

Very good location - easy to reach by car and foot. A parking lot for the night till the next afternoon for 7 euro, which in stuffed Palermo making life easier. One can also parks for free in the opposit side of the steet infront of the hotel. Some Pizzerias and Tratoria nearby were open till late, which was good for late arrival.An ATM neary. Good full breakfast (the coffee was a disapointment - after all it's Italy...). One important improovment - a night lamp near every bad (with a bulb sufficient enough for reading) is realy something one expects in a 4* hotel.

8.1

Ottimo Hotel, in posizione strategica per visitare il centro di Palermo a piedi, a due passi dal porto. Ha bisogno di una rimodernata nelle camere, che comunque sono pulite e hanno i necessari comforts. Buona la colazione che si fa nell'attico, con una bella vista sul porto. Il personale è gentile e disponibile. Consiglio questo hotel per una breve vacanza a Palermo per visitare la città.

6.5

not a bad hotel, a bit old but ok. situated in a seedy area of Palermo, but only a short walk to main area. breakfast was nice. driving in this city is crazy

8.1

Kindly and professional personnel good rooms with a plenty of space

8.2

hotel convenable mais un peu impersonnel.la vue sur le port est agreable et rend l'hotel facile a trouver. on peut se rendre au centre ville à pied ce qui est pratique. petit dejeuner correct.

8.0

Enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff was extremely helpful in assisting me in getting to a small town south of Palermo. The breakfast was the best I have seen in 3 previous B&Bs. Conveniently located to pizzarias and tratorias. Directly across from the port if traveling by boat, just steps away. I would defintely stay at this hotel again.

6.7

As with all accomodation in Sicily, you don't get quite what you'd expect from the same rating elsewhere in the world. The President was a 4 star hotel, and I'm sure it was when it opened in the 70s, but it could do with a bit of a makeover to bring it up to scratch. Having said that, for the price by comparison to other places in Palermo, we were more than happy with the hotel. The service was great, with the reception doing everything they could to help us when needed. Most of the reception staff spoke relatively good English or were willing to try and work it out, again, something you don't often find in Sicily. In a country and city where tourism is only just kicking off in full force, and service often leaves a lot to be desired, the President Hotel was a really pleasant surprise. I would definitely consider staying there again next time I'm in Sicily!

8.1

An older hotel right across from the Port. A little noisy -- but maybe that's just Palermo. Guarded parking (free). Easy to find. Good value but not quite the same 4-star quality seen elsewhere.

5.9

The room was very large and spacious, as was the bathroom. The hotel staff spoke VERY limited english, which made making any arrangements very very difficult. Also, and this is something not indicated anywhere, the air conditioning is shut off every night for the entire hotel at 3am, and not turned back on till afternoon sometime. Which made for sleeping in a very hot and sweaty room. Overall, I would not stay in this hotel again. The view was also not as nice as we had hoped. Our window looked directly into the port area, which is not all that appealing. The area around the hotel was rather sketchy looking at best. The nicer areas seemed to be a few blocks away. Definitely not an area to feel safe in walking around during the night.

6.6

completely adequate and breakfast area was cheery with good layout. Stayed just a short time(overnight), but Hotel was solid

8.3

Vicino al centro, molto comodo e confortevole...

8.2

Our stay (a family of four) went quite well and was quite comfortable. The hotel provided us two large conjoining double rooms, with two large baths. The breakfast was plentiful. The front desk helped us with information any time we asked. The hotel is situated across from the port (we had port views from the restaurant, but not from the room). If you want to be right smack in the center of Palermo, this is not it. It is not too far to walk, but it was a bit far for our five year old at times. Also: the decor/furnishings in the hotel are not in a modern designer style, though everything is maintained well.

7.8

We got a nice room overlooking the port and the ferry activities (which means some noise with an open window). Breakfast buffet was excellent in variety and quality, even for so few guests at that time; we enjoyed the location on the 7th floor.

5.2

Hotel is in a good location to walk around the town, although the interior is quite old and the rooms decor is 70s. OK for 1 or 2 nights but I wouldn't want to stay there too long...
