"We greatly appreciate that Vincenzo was able to accommodate our late night check-in as well as a late check-out. We only stayed one night. When our flight was delayed and we had issues with our car rental company, I feared there would be no one to let us in the hotel but Vincenzo was kind enough to stay up to 1am and accommodate our entry. I wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for gratuitously helping us out."

The property is gorgeous and the building is very well maintained. The seaview to the harbor and ocean is serene. There is no noise from the marina or harbor. Staff was very attentive. The rooms were not missing anything. They were generously outfitted with robes, pool sandals, pool bag etc. we had a very memorable stay.

Our room has a fun music theme. It was very comfortable. Breakfast, which was included, was delicious and our host Luca was very attentive. There is a lovely terrace where you can have breakfast if the weather is good. The location was perfect for exploring Palermo on foot. Luca gave us excellent recommendations for dinner. The rooms are a few stories up so I wouldn’t recommend it for someone who has accessibility problems. For us, it was a perfect location.

I have no comparison experience with other hotels in Palermo, but this is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Built from several previous structures, one a bank and another a cloister, the hotel features majestic spaces, huge public rooms, wide halls, high ceilings. It is like a palazzo located in almost the exact middle of Palermo's historic district, so one can easily walk to the Plazzo Chiatamonte-Steri or Palazzo Abatellis in one direction or the Palazzo dei Normani or the...

We stayed in the 2nd floor suite and had a great view of the water. The rooftop restaurant had stunning views and the breakfast service downstairs was excellent. We had massages by the pool and lunch by the pool, which we loved. The only complaint would be that they advertise a private beach area and there is no beach area—so just know you have to go to a local lido to rent chairs. Everything is in walking distance so the beach was a close walk. Overall, we loved our stay and would recommend the...

We stayed recently at the Hotel Porta Felice and we're very happy with our choice. While some revisit talk about being difficult to find it is actually located in one the main ways bet corso Vitoria Emmanuele and Via Lincoln. Service from all staff was just fantastic.

I had a good stay at the hotel. Very comfortable room, right on the water, and nice staff.
Not a great location if you don’t have your own transportation.

Finding Abatellis was an adventure for us. It is located on a side street near the waterfront. When finding 3 Alloro, there is nothing to identify the multi story building except for the number, 2 brown metal doors, and a call box for residents. But when you "ring" for Abatellis, the experience changes radically. Once you identify yourself, you will be told someone will meet you shortly. Before you can count to 10, a smiling member of the staff will greet you as a revered family member. ...

The room was ver nice and the attendance was ver polite and friendly. The entrance was a little hard to find at first, but then very easy. Would definitely stay again

Beautiful hotel in a great location on a pedestrian street. They had an extensive breakfast, not just your usual pastries, cold cuts, and cheese. I would recommend for your sanity that if you're not European and you're not used to small roads, to not rent a car and drive it here. Although they do have a parking garage, access to it is down a small alleyway barely bigger than the size of a small car. We were not confident to park it down there, thankfully one of the staff was able to. Location of...
