Good location. Wonderful courtyard and breakfast.
Very disappointed with the room - it felt like we had been dumped in the cellar. It was in the back corner, behind the small kitchen that is behind the dining room. It was very dark as it opened out onto the street via an iron gate with dreadful views of graffiti and weeds. We keep the inner door closed so we had no windows. Silly to say it had a terrace. We asked for another room but we were told they were full - although the number of people at breakfast was few.

Nice hotel well located in a nice part of Palermo
Posted 18 Sep 2017
Pros: Very friendly helpful staff who gave us some great recommendations for restaurants.
Cons: Room had a slight stale smell and air con didn't work well.
Location: Walkable to all the sites in the old town. Lots of good bars and restaurants close by and a nice atmospheric and quiet part of town.
Nice stay. 5 stars for the great hotel staff and courtyard and 3 stars for the room giving average Of 4 stars.

Comfort and a great breakfast
Posted 14 Sep 2017 on HotelsThis small B&B is located in the Kalsa district of the historic area. I felt safe walking from the train station, about 15 minutes. The neighborhood is not touristy, but rather a working class area. But all the more interesting to me because of that. Still there are very interesting places within easy walking distance. And breakfast is amazing.

Good location in historical part of the city
Posted 15 Sep 2015
Pros: Courtyard and atmosphere.
Cons: Take credit cards and make sure rooms are clean smelling
Location: Fairly close to local shopping, Close to train station and the bus from the airport. Coast about 3 blocks away. could walk to most historical places
They do not take credit cards, which I didn't know until check out time. Had to go to bank and get cash and it all was an unpleasant happening . The breakfasts were good and you can sit out in the courtyard, which is pleasant. My room had a terrible smell the first day and 2 nights, but they seemed to solve the problem then. I would recommend the hotel, except for the cash only and the strange smell in the room. It is a 3- rating.

A really nice B & B in La Kalsa, Palermo
Posted 23 Oct 2014 on HotelsLocated in the La Kalsa district, it is away from noise and traffic of most of Palermo. Easy to find using the hotel's directions on their webpage. A short 15 minute walk from the train station. Average sized but perfectly comfortable room and bathroom. You can eat breakfast outside in a central courtyard. The only negative was needing to log onto their wi-fi each time you use it: the password is posted on a sign in the room. All in all, a really nice place to stay in the older part of Palermo.

Excellent!
Posted 7 Aug 2014 on HotelsWe had a family room for four. It was spacious, clean, with airconditioning!, and with comfortable beds. Add to that the friendly service and english language capabilities, and this will be an excellent B&B for your visit to Palermo.

Lovely Authentic Hotel in old Palermo
Posted 25 May 2014 on HotelsWhat can we say, if you want to get the real feel of an authentic old building with modern cons then we recommend this hotel. The owners were amazing as we're the staff. The rooms were had were spacious and great for a family as the children have a separate room from the parents and gives privacy. We would definitely recommend this hotel if for nothing else but just the people that own it and the staff they were fabulous.

Hard to Find, but Worth the Walk
Posted 11 May 2014 on TravelocityWe spent three lovely days at Al Giardino. It's in an old part of Palermo, where the streets are curved and narrow (and, in the case of Vicolo San Carlo, discontinuous), but that's part of the fun and the charm. The B&B itself covers several connected townhouses around a patio that is pleasant for sitting. The rooms, while plain, are decent sized, and the bathroom modern and generous. (Ask for a room not on the street; the windows are double glazed, but the street is noisy when the windows are open.) The current manager (the former proprietor has sold the hotel) is charming and helpful, although everyone needs to work together because her English is only somewhat better than our Italian. But it all works out, and she's very helpful. She even got breakfast going at 7 on a Sunday to accommodate our schedule. Breakfasts are good, with fresh cappuccino available. The restaurant recommendation for Osteria Ballaro was so good we ate there twice!
