"Breakfast was excellent! The staff were very friendly and helpful. My room was large and comfortable, and, even though it faced the street, it was pretty quiet. The hotel itself was beautiful - classic Italian. The location was nice because it was just a 5 minute walk to the Teatro Massimo and a lot of the tourist attractions, but it wasn't in the middle of everything. A few minor observations; although the shower itself was fantastic, it was a bit leaky (aren't they all!), the tap in the bathroom sink was a bit wonky until I figured it out, and the mini-fridge didn't quite fit the (much appreciated) daily free bottle of water. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again! Oh, and the air-conditioning was excellent - perfect for the scorching heat of Palermo in July!"
