The hotel at first was ok. The building is old, the staff was quite indifferent when we came in and the room was full of little bugs that we couldn't sleep!! We asked the receptionist to change room but there wasn't any available. The room was very noisy and i hated the place because of the hotel. I can say it was the worst hotel in all Europe!!!

We chose this just as an overnight stop-over to fly out of Palermo the next day. For this purpose, it suited us well. If staying for longer, it is fine as a budget base to explore the city; you wouldn't choose it for the room as such (although it was spacious with high ceilings and quiet enough. The services were sufficient.

Rooms are spacious and apparently clean.... but if you look into the details.... nobody cleaned under the beds! There were still some bags there.... The bathroom is very at the limit of the accepted cleanless... It is very very reduced. The quality vs price is good if you consider the position of the hotel, that is absolutely in town center, just 10 minutes walking from the train station. The hotel is noisy specially when breakfast begins.

Ich lege nicht viel Wert auf Ausstattung eines Hotel, aber sauber sollte es sein. Die Betten waren voller Wanzen, deren juckende Stiche an Armen und Beinen mir eine gute Woche des Urlaubs vergällt haben. Auch sonst war das Hotel nicht sonderlich sauber (völlig verdrecktes und veralgtes Aquarium auf dem Weg zum Frühstücksraum).

I was travelling with a friend - we were pleasantly surprised by how big our room was, how central we were and how clean it was. Really nice staff as well. It's not flashy - but a real bargain. I guess some rooms on the road could be noisy and I did notice other rooms weren't as big as ours

Location - close enough to the train station to be easy to reach on foot, but far enough to be in a nicer area. Exit train station and just walk straight ahead until you see a sign for the hotel on your left and walk past all the bikes. No elevator. Staff very friendly. Room very clean, good enough for the price. Only problem is there really is nothing close by to grab a bite to eat. nor did I find a nearby supermarket or alimentari.

As the Hotel Sicilia is quite in the centre of Palermo it is rather noisy - but also lively. The staff was very nice and always helpful. The 2nd night we changed our room as we got our third friend with us. There we were surprised by two cockroaches and insisted to change the room which was immediately possible thanks to the very nice staff. So thank you for an interesting, exciting and lively stay at your place!

The hotel was absoloutely fine, it was spacious clean and the bed was good. The staff on the other hand where surly, pushy and as a final insult attempted to overcharge us by 15 euro a night amounting to 45 which was frankly not well receieved.

The room is probably clean but because the whole building is old and in a not so clean district, I was not quite convinced. The cigaret burns on the blanket did not improved my conviction. The bathroom/toilet is extremely small and needs a good springcleaning badly. Toilet ring was loose and actually broken. Technical services tighten the ring but it would have been better if they had replaced the ring. Quite painful to sit on a broken toilet ring actually. Staff was very helpful and friendly. No complaints about breakfast. No complaints about the distance to the railway station and the centre of Palermo.

This hotel was excellent in terms of location. We were able to walk to/from the train station with our luggage with no problem. The area was fine and we were not at all intimidated by the surroundings - in fact we walked from the hotel to the area where we could catch the sightseeing bus and it was great. There were plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance also. The breakfast was also very nice. The room was very clean and we had plenty of space. You do have to walk up several flights of stairs and that could be an issue for some people. Also, instead of having a room with two beds, we were given a room with one large bed and told that no other rooms were available so...

A friend and I spent 4 nights here, end of March. It was clean and cheap and in a convenient location. The staff were polite and helpful. Breakfast was adequate, but the coffee and water for tea could have been hotter. However, the noise inside the hotel was terrible. Door slamming and loud talking in reception at all hours of the night was just crazy.I had an inside room and earplugs, but my friend had a room on the Via Maqueda, and next to the reception and she didn't sleep at all. They really need to do something about the door closures, noisy keys you struggled to get in the lock and the staff need to stop talking loudly in reception. Not the place for anti smokers either, as people smoke in the rooms and in reception.

Un petit hôtel sympa et très bien situé près de la gare et des sites touristiques . L'entrée au rez-de-chaussée mériterait d'être mieux entretenue et surtout égayée par quelques fleurs ou autre .Le fait que l'hôtel soit situé au 1er étage sans ascenseur est un handicap pour ceux qui ont des problèmes de santé .Le petit déjeuner manque de variété et il faut arriver tôt pour avoir un croissant , sinon , pain obligatoire .Le café arrive quand la serveuse retrouve du courage pour l'amener . Le personnel de l'accueil est très bien et serviable .Ceci dit , nous avons fait un très bon séjour .

We used this hotel as its close to the railway station when arriving and leaving Sicily via the Palermo Airport. Having visited Palermo twice before closeness tot eh railway station was a main criteria for choosing this hotel

Really nice hotel. Rooms were very clean. The breakfast was the best ever seen in a two-star hotel in Italy. But abbove all, the people who work there are fantastic!! Yes, there is some noise from the central via Maqueda, but nothing so serious to worry about. Next time I'll go directly there. I certainly recommend it.

The hotel was very well located near bus/train station. The room we stayed in was very spacious and clean with a big bathroom. The noise from outside was very loud and almost unbearable. Thankfully I brought ear plugs which blocked out some of the noise however if you are a light sleeper you would find it difficult to sleep. There was a balcony in our room which was nice to sit out on. The staff were competent but not very friendly. However I would recommend staying in this hotel if you want to view Palermo.

Das Hotel befindet sich wirklich sehr zentral in der grossstadt Palermo. Wobei "sehr Zentral" einher geht mit dem Lärm, dem Gestank und Parkknappheit in der City. Die gut sichtbare Hinweistafel führt einem zum Eingang in einer Seitenstrasse. Im Ersten Stock (ohne Lift) befindet sich der Zugang zur eigentlichen Unterkunft. Das Hotel erstreckt sich über etwa drei oder vier Gebäude innerhalb des "Blocks". Alles wirkt verschachtelt und etwas unübersichtlich. Die Zimmer, je nach Lage mit Blick in den Hinterhof oder auf die Strase, sind zweckmässig eingerichtet. Teilweise wären Renovationsarbeiten nötig. Eine nicht zu feine Nase, guter Schlaf und etwas Nachsicht sind empfehlenswert.

We stayed in Hotel Sicilia for an overnight. It is strategically located with it's proximity to Railway Station, Bus Departures, Shopping Area and historic centre. There are however no decent restaurants in the immediate vicinity of the hotel and one has look out for the 4 canti area for some restaurants. Being on one of the main streets (via Maqueda), many of the rooms facing the main street are expected to be quite loud (our room was one of them and we could not sleep until midnight when vehicles reduced). We reported bugs in the beds (they did bit us at night)to the receptionist. He seemed to avoid the complaint with a sort of nosyness with a possible lame show-off of having taken the matter into account. This is a place to stay (definitely without the bugs) for short duration in order to hop to other cities in Sicily.

Hotel was nice and clean; neighborhood is alright but the hotel is closed to all the major attractions. Not too many restaurants around though.

There was actually no internet at the hotel. The pictures make the entry walkway look nicer than it actually is. And while the street noise wasn't a problem, the noise coming from the lobby was loud during the night (talking on the phone and the internet) which made it hard to fall asleep.

Io e mia moglie abbiamo alloggiato all' Hotel Sicilia per una piccola visita alla bellissima città di Palermo. L' albergo ha risposto pienamente alle nostre esigenze. Ottima posizione a 200 metri da stazione ferroviaria (comodo per chi arriva dall' aeroporto in treno) e a 500 metri dai 4 canti e dalle bellissime chiese di Martorana e S. Cataldo. La camera è spaziosa e pulita, il letto comodo con servizi sicuramente superiori alla categoria. Il personale della Reception è gentile e disponibile. Unico neo, non vi è l'ascensore e bisogna portare su le valigie a mano. Camera doppia pagata 48 euro, ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Lo consiglio a tutti.

This is an old-time hotel in a good central location at a budget price. We enjoyed it, but it's definitely NOT for people looking for a "hotel experience". We stayed there twice. When we showed up early (before our reservations) and the hotel was full, the desk attendant found us other accommdations. We would definitely stay there again.

Pretty good hotel for the price. Located on the 1st floor of what seems to have been once a mansion. The (double) rooms we had were quite spacious (I recommend n° 14), each with a balcony. The shower/bathroom isn't exactly modern, but it's decent. The room is pretty quiet, though our rooms were almost on the corner of a small street (Davisi) and via Maqueda (one of the 2 major streets in the city). Good location, near the train station and tourist sites. The only negative points are that there are lots of stairs to get to the hotel and to the rooms, and that there's no breakfast. But there are little cafes everywhere. The staff is nice, polite and helpful. I'd also recommend a restaurant nearby - from the hotel, go down via Davisi to via Roma and cross the street. It's on a little square/place. Great food at reasonable prices. Called Vecchio Locanda or something like that.

We were here with our 3 sons and it was only for 1 night, to get a quick impression of Palermo. I liked the hotel very much because of the authentic style. We had a very quiet room. Our sons slept on the streetsite, wich was noisy, but they slept very well with the windows closed.

We stayed for a night at the beginning and at the end of our week in Sicily & chose this hotel for its low price & proximity to the station & coach to airport. We were delighted. The location was not at all insalubrious; just off the main road, so not too noisy, and the walk along the back street from the Via Roma is not scary. I wouldn't do it at 2am on my own, but felt completely safe at 10pm with my husband & our 2 year old son. We stayed in 2 different rooms, one was positively palatial, with newly done bathroom, the other was absolutely fine. Outstanding value for money at the prices quoted... however we ended up paying 80 euros per night for 2 adults & a small child, which didn't seem such a bargain. I'd recommend it to anyone for its position.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel was in a great location, very close to the bus station. Unfortunately this did not make up for the fact that our room (room 6) was so noisy. There are two boilers on the wall and every 20 minutes or so they fire up with a loud whine followed by an incessant ticking, all night. Also we could hear everything that went on in reception, every phone call, every visitor. My girlfriend slept through some of it but I got no sleep at all. Considering the website claims the hotel has "sound proof" rooms, this was pretty bad. Perhaps other rooms are okay, but I'd ask for a room away from reception area, and check the walls for combi boilers!!

I only stayed in the hotel for one night before joining my daughter at her hotel, the Grand das Palmas. The night clerk was extremely helpful and cooperative. The owner understandably less so. He requested that I pay for two nights which I did. Although the area was fine during the day, I had not realized that the hotel was in an area not hospitable to an elderly lady once night fell. I should have been better informed. My mistake not theirs. Thank you. Otherwise, the trip was fine. My family was all born in la province de Palermo and we enjoyed finding my family's old home; a thrill to talk to people familiar with my family. All in all a delightful trip.

Our room was located 1st one next to lobby, so we were kept awake all night to the constant buzzing of the door entry (which was being ignored, or rang by very impatient patrons), and phone ringing. The worst part was the smoking by the staff which we were greeted to as we walked in the lobby, and the smoking in the lobby continued all night, which due to placement of our room, we had to suffer through all night. The room itself was spacious and pretty clean, however the bed and pillows were in serious need of update and replacement. I would suggest NO SMOKING by the staff inside the facility, nighttime noise control on the door buzzer, and update beds and pillows.

La zona donde esta el hotel es muy oscura por la noche e intimida un poco. Nosotros llegamos de noche y nos dio un poco de desconfianza. Es un Edificio muy antiguo y compartido con otro hotel, las areas en comun estan un poco descuidadas y con un poco de olor a viejo. En la primer habitacion tuvimos una invasion de hormigas asi que inmediatamente nos cambiaron sin problema. Por la manana las habitaciones eran muy ruidosas. El desayuno estuvo bien (pan, manteca, mermeladas, cafe, leche, te y jugo) nada del otro mundo. Nunca logramos estacionar en el estacionamiento que nombran en la pagina porque estaba saturado y no es facil conseguir lugar afuera. No volveria... prefiero pagar un poco mas. En General Palermo es bastante sucio y oscuro.

I stayed at this hotel for two nights. The reviews in this website and others were very helpful. I knew what to expect for, and was not disapointed. For this I thank all the reviewers! The ups: The place was clean. That was the most important thing for me. The price is the best I could find for this type of hotel. This is also important. The hotel is located in the center of town, which is good for the travelers by public transportation (5 minutes walk from the central train and bus station). The breakefast was quite reasonable. The room was nice, with a high ceiling, and an airconditioner, very important if you come in the summer. The downs: There were some disadvantages I learned of from other reviewers: The trouble in finding the hotel, the weak stream at the shower, the anoying door bell and the noise from the street (which wasn't that bad after closing the window and shades). There were two other things which I found myself: The hotel is in the second floor, and no one will help you carry your luggage upstairs. The matrass was an old spring matrass, with bumps. This was quite anoying, though, for me, bearable. The receptcion clearks were nice, and knew some English. To conclude: this is a very good choice for the single traveler who needs a bed for a night or two.

The hotel was easily reached from the stazione centrale after a short (~4 min) walk. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, offering suggestions of where to go out for a meal nearby. Our room was reached via a narrow set of staircases and was big and clean with aircon, while our bathroom was across the hallway. I would recommend this hotel as a handy short stay due to its proximity to the station and to the Via Maqueda and Via Roma.

Our first stay here was in a room by the reception. I would avoid this room, as the noise over night (with people ringing to get in etc) was loud and regular. However, on second stay we were in a room away from reception - very quiet and private. Would recommend for budget traveller who wants to be in heart of Palermo. We'll likely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our 3 day stay in Hotel Sicily. Its location is ideal, especially if you are planning to use the public transport as it’s so close to the Central Station. The room was very clean and relatively quite. There was certainly no noise coming up from the busy street below. However, if you are going to stay in room number 21, be prepared to wake up every morning around 7:45. The room is very close to the breakfast room and the staff can be somewhat noisy. Overall, the hotel offers excellent value for money. PS: The English notices around the hotel are hilarious as they obviously just used the Google translator.

L'hôtel est bien situé près des attraits touristiques principaux. Toutefois, notre chambre était près de la réception et très bruyante. Beaucoup de bruit provient aussi de la rue qui est très passante. Le petit déjeuner était bien mais l'accueil à la réception est assez fade. Un conseil, éviter cette ville en voiture. L'hôtel est entouré de labyrhintes et de sens uniques. De plus, il faut être très habile pour se stationner dans le stationnement.

We arrived at the train station and followed directions for the hotel which is a short walk thankfully, looking at the photo provided made it difficult to find the hotel as this is not the street view but a view from within the hotel, but street signs enabled us to find it. At arriving at the hotel we recieved our key but had to ask for information regarding the hotel services such as breakfast and closing times the only town maps available in the hotel are a bus sightseeing leaflet. The room was clean but very noisy from neighbours more so than street noise, this made the stay not as relaxed as it could be. The bathroom was pokey and our shower was dreadful, more like a leaky tap. Commuication with staff was okay but diffcult at times. The location of this hotel for the price cannot be beaten but it could do with some improvements to the rooms to make a more enjoyable stay.

Palermo parties...all night! If you don't like city noise, don't go to Palermo. Also, if you've never driven in Italy, don't let Palermo be your first experience. And, if you do decide to drive, absolutely DO NOT MISS THE EXIT off of the 'highway.' It's impossible to turn around. We magically found the hotel after surviving traffic for about 1.5 hours. Other than that, accomodations were as expected. We loved our room (soaring ceilings and original details), breakfast was nothing special, and parking is thru an independant outside of the hotel, but gated and locked. Most of staff does not speak English. We probably won't return to this hotel, but then again, we probably will never return to Palermo!

The hotel is very poorly located and is very noisy!! The staff does not speak any english so that was very hard for all of us. They advertise things that they do not have RE: valet service, shuttle to and from train or airport. There are none!! No laundry service the closet was 2 miles away. The rooms were very cold and had refrig. but were not plugged in. The beds were very uncomfortable. I would not stay there again and would tell everyone to be sure and check on the ammendities before they go there as they are not true. It was so noisy we couldn't even sleep, the area is rundown and in an alley way. Would not suggest going there! The breakfast was about the only thing that was great about the stay there. The staff was friendly and tried to help us with locations.

Hotel Sicilia is right in the heart of the historic quarter. It is near the central train station from which you can get anywhere.

Comfortable rooms in a great location. Very difficult to find by car, as there are no street signs with names in Palermo. Parking was very difficult. Beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was great. They rushed us out in the morning by calling the rooms 10 minutes before check out. If you are up early, it's no problem, but there was a festival the night before and no one was back at the hotel until after 2:00 a.m. I have been to Italy many times and usually the hotels are a little more flexible about checkout, especially after the last night of a week-long festival. I have never had anyone call us and tell us that we have to leave "NOW". Aside from that, it is a very comfortable hotel and I would return...if I could ever find it again... It is very difficult. Take a taxi from the airport!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Sicilia - the location was ideal, as only a few minutes from the railway station and main drag. Transportation was easy to get to and although the traffic around the hotel was a bit noisey, I think you would be hard pushed to find a quiet location as it is a busy city. It could be totally different in summer when you have the windows open as we went in February. Ask the lady who serves at breakfast to get you a cappuccino from the machine (free) which is much better than the pot of coffee provided.

very cheap if you considers the quality of the room and the services. The employees are very sympathic. If I have to come back to Palermo, I'll book this hotel again.

The surroundings are a bit loud. Otherwise it's quite a price worthy stay.

Hotel vicino alla stazione dei treni, personale e proprietario disponibile ed accogliente, colazione si potrebbe migliorare, ma nel complesso non va male. La camera era in un cortile interno chiuso, senza possibilità di aereare, comunque molto tranquilla, l'unica pecca era la pulizia, sopratutto in bagno estramente scadente.

5 rooms faces to main road. So the rooms are extremery loudy all days and over night. I dont know how about 4 rooms face to sub road and one face to internal area. I stayed only 2nights and 2 nights is limit for me. Anyway you need perfect ear protects to stay this B&B. The B&B is 1st floor ,but no lift. It is very fatigue to lift up our heavy luggages. Breakfast is good. It is easy to find the B&B. Convenient location.Good staffs. I hope that they prepare noise protect windows,then i will stay more.

The hotel is nice, clean, and friendly. It is very close to all the tourist attractions of the center of Palermo. It is a small hotel with out any luxery but the bath room is very clean, the air conditioning is operating and there is telephone and tv in the room

Noise in the room came from outside the hotel: nearby traffic.

cheap, cheerful, nice clean roon, although quite small. If you need somewhere right in the thick of the town but don;t want to spend upwards of 100 euros then this is perfect.

My room was down 2 flights after climbing up 2 flights to lobby (no elevator). There was only a single small window at floor level so no light, little air, much noise and musty smell. My private bath was across the hall so a key was needed to get in and out every time and back to my room-very inconvenient.

We had a very nice holiday on Sicily. It was our first visit to Palermo. With a group of 8 people we enjoyed the time in this hotel! I think it is difficult to find a place with a better quality/price ratio in Palermo!

muy bien situado, en el centro de Palermo, en una zona rebosante de color y de actividad. Por tanto ruidoso, pero para mi esto no fue un problema. El hotel encantador y la atención en recepción impecable.

We truly enjoyed our night at Sicilia. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The rooms were fairly large and the beds were comfortable. In spite of a huge festival that was going on outside, our room was relatively quiet. The breakfast was fair, but the coffee was poor. We would stay here again.

Il quartiere tra la stazione e l'hotel non è certo il massimo...però la gentilezza del personale fa dimenticare anche questo.

very unfriendly staff, we didn't get the rooms we asked for. Our rooms were extremely noisy (we have had noisy rooms in Rome and Paris, but never as bad as these rooms; no window even closed properly)and uncomfortable. The parking space that was promised, wasn't there. The next day we could get quieter rooms if we payed more! When we said no, that wasn't the arrangement, the owner said then you better go and look for another hotel. And that was what we did (we booked for 5 days!) We recommend not to send anybody there anymore. We should like back at least 1/2 of what we had to pay (we still have 2 bills,each 62 Euro

Location was very convenient. Reception recommended a nice restaurant for dinner and called a taxi for us in the morning. Unfortunately breakfast was too late for us.

The hotel was absolutely ok for the price we paid. The area of the hotel is rather obscure though (not a populated area, may be dangerous for women alone). The hotel itself is nice, it is just not as clean as it could be but the room was very big and lovely furnitured. The staff is friendly but language can be a problem, no English... The beds are really good and we could sleep well. Good TV and balcony in the rooms.
