Gangi Vacations from ￥381,715

Ut I s convenient for walking.

I would say it was ok for one night. For the price it was a bit expensive. Can’t say I would go back.

Lovely hotel, close to everythinh

Porta di Castro is a nice but compact hotel situated near Palazzo dei Normanni and the cathedral, so location-wise it was great for walking to the historic center of Palermo. My economy room was quite pokey with low ceiling beams you could hit your head on, and a toilet not far from the bed with no proper door, so this room may not be ideal for couples... The staff were friendly and helpful, and they definitely didn't hold back on the breakfast. I enjoyed making use of the outdoor pool and jacuzzi area which is free to use, although the indoor spa and pool comes at an extra cost.

The staff there was amazing. Andraina was the front desk girl and she was super helpful. She told us what restaurants were good. She would have his cars booked when we needed them. The housekeeper was great. She gave us some Mass to take to us when we went on our cruise ship and I cannot forget about Jovanna. She was the one in the restaurant that would make us fresh squeezed orange juice every morning. She danced and dance to my husband for his birthday. Just a lovely lady. I highly recommend staying at this place. It's like a boutique hotel, four stars and it's right by all the shopping and by the marina for the cruises. So you're right by everything. You can literally walk everywhere. I give this a hotel a 12 out of 10. If you want to experience things there just talk to them. They will get you the right drivers and everything we went to a little place called Monreal. Our driver's name was Luigi and he was fantastic. If you can get him as a driver while you stay there definitely ask for him. Thank you for making our honeymoon, 5-year anniversary, and birthdays amazing!
