The rooms have been upgraded recently and are an adequate but not large size. Many rooms have balconies or terraces. The maid service is daily. Note that TV shows are in Italian; news channels offer more languages including English. Good water pressure, hot water, good lighting. The breakfast is a joyous occasion for those who love the sweets, cakes and filled croissants but we found tantalizing tidbits of more Sicilian fare too. Also, breakfast type croissants and sandwiches were available. Many varieties of juice and coffee beverages available. Cold cereal only and those who like eggs and bacon will find that choice cooled quickly, so take the opportunity to have something you wouldn't eat at home. The restaurant is prettily appointed and we found the dinner options to be good. The wait staff, both breakfast and dinner (opens at 1930) were very accommodating. We were particularly impressed with the service from Giovanni, a true professional. The grounds have a number of seating options and are lit up at night giving a colourful glow and making strolling a little easier. In addition to the indoor bar/lounge, there is an outdoor bar/seating area which was noisy one night (our room was close). Also, there is a wedding/party venue next door to the hotel that can get noisy depending on the occasion. We were there a week and only 2 nights was there any noise. It did not disturb our sleep. Because we didn't have a car, we were pleased to see that we could walk around the area. The hotel is located in a residential area with a park, medical offices, pharmacy, gas station, grocery, dress shop and jeweller. If you don't want to eat every night at the hotel, turn to your right and walk down to Via San Lorenzo. Across the street is Delizie Siciliane, for panini, spaghetti, salad and pizza. Note that spaghetti and pizza are not available until 7PM. This small establishment (5 tables in, 2 out) offers big servings, caters to the locals and does a lot of take-away. Next door is Dolci Tentazioni, a little bakery with a large outside eating area. It offers a variety of sweet bakery items and gelatos, plus sandwiches and hamburgers. Although buses run on Via San Lorenzo, another option is Via Le Strasburgo (turn left at the light and go about 6 blocks on Via G. Ingegnere). The red umbrellas of Voglia di Pane at the corner of Le Strasburgo are visible for a number of blocks. This bakery offers more of the bread products than the sweet and only outside dining. The charming young hostess speaks English and is quite helpful. Via Le Strasburgo is a main thoroughfare with more restaurant choices and a Credito Agricole (closest Bancomat/ATM) all within a few metres of the corner. The hotel shares a large parking lot with the party venue (Officine Baronali). The tennis club is around the corner. We enjoyed the opportunity to get a feel for the Sicilian culture by walking and dining in the neighbourhood. We walked by some very old abandoned/damaged buildings and some old arches and gates next to newer or renewed construction.

Very nice and clean hotel. It is outside the centre o Palermo but you have a private parking place and by bus ( number 101, just 10 minutes walking from hotel) you can get the centre. Breakfast is very good with typical sicilian food, people are friendly. Room are simple and clean and there is a garden outside to enjoy the evening. As i told you before, the hotel is outside the centre near football stadium. Plenty of non touristic restaurants and pizzeria walking distance
