Eurostars Centrale Palace

10/10 Excellent
"We are so glad we choose this hotel for our visit to Palermo. The perfect location as it is literally right in the city center, within walking distance to everything. It is a beautiful, older, renovated building with wonderful architectural details and plesant surprises around every corner. The front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating, and were very helpful in arranging transportation and special requests. The rooms are well-sized, very clean, and the beds, linens and pillows of high quality. The air conditioner runs quiet, and the bathroom and shower are large and we'll appointed As if all of that weren't enough, the rooftop restaurant and bar provide fantastic views of the city. And lastly, the breakfast buffet was well above average and a solid value Very highly recommended"

"Clean, neat and in a residential area so taxis were not close to the B&B, but the onsite manager was superior in her directions and recommendations for both bus and train access. Air-conditioning was excellent, water pressure in shower was excellent the room even across the street for a church bell site was sound proofed. Breakfast in a breakfast room was well appointed and the food was good - the on-site manager made cappuccinos every morning. Without doubt, when next we visit Palermo, this will be the B& B that we stay in,"

"Pool area is closed in October when I visited. You have to be aware that you must book the airport shuttle at least 24 hours in advance and pay in cash. The shuttle is actually a taxi. room was lovely, big , clean. I was in room 309. I am a single female traveller and I felt safe in the hotel room & restaurant. I was thrilled to see that tea was available at breakfast. The hotel is far from Palermo so if you are staying here, you need a car or check the taxi prices from the hotel to various destinations."
