“I found this hotel strikes a chord with travelers seeking character and convenience in Palermo. Its location near the train station and the Ballaro market makes it a practical base, and the building's faded grandeur, particularly the breakfast room's frescoed ceiling, offers a glimpse into the city's history; note that there's no lift. For those who prioritize location and value, it's a compelling option.”
