We took a bit of a gamble by staying in this place because it had only just opened - Oct I believe. Overall, however, we had a great time there. The hotel is cool and stylish with good design features all round. The room size was decent with flat screen TV etc - great if you haven´t seen one for a while - and a massive and very comfy bed. Everything worked well and the hotel staff were extremely helpful in terms of giving tips on the area etc. There is not much in terms of communal space...small bar and breakfast is not fantastic but the area has more than enough options when it comes to food and drinks so not a problem. And we paid something like $120 per night so great value in my view. We loved Palermo and it is one of the best city areas I have come across for a very long time.....and it is super cheap. Lots of high quality and individually styled places and the shopping is excellent. We cant talk highly enough of it.
