Hotel berhampiran Church of Santa Maria Della Catena, Palermo

Overall a good hotel. Location is excellent, central to most of the major sights. Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean. Breakfast not too exciting. Our one big drawback was the advertised free parking is not free. It costs €10 a night and we were not made aware of this before hand. The parking garage is not based at the hotel but further down the street and is very difficult to drive to. Normal procedure is to call the hotel and they ask you to pull over on a busy road and a parking attendant will come and get you. He then keeps the car and car keys at his garage and will bring the car out on request from the hotel. The system worked well once we were aware but again it caused some stress and confusion on our first night driving around a busy city. And driving in Palermo is not for the faint hearted!

I had a tough time giving InCanto an average rating, because it was definitely not average. The good qualities were really great, but the bad qualities were really bad. First the good - The room was large & comfortable, located right in the middle of everything, a few steps away from the famous Four Corners. I loved the breakfast every day delivered right to our room. Lots of great places to eat and drink, and sights to see, just a short walk in every direction. Now the bad - InCanto is difficult to find, since the main entrance, the one with a sign, is inside a private building up on the 2nd floor (or 3rd floor for Americans.) There is no signage on the main streets, and only a tiny sign once you find the otherwise generic door located down an alley. I asked many locals for directions when I was only 1 -2 blocks away, and nobody had ever heard of it. The Four Corners is very close, and very LOUD. Live music starts early in the morning and continues until late at night. Well after midnight, after the music stops, people walk through the streets shouting & kicking beer bottles. It's never quiet, and you easily hear all the noise from inside the room with all the doors & windows closed. The front desk is only staffed in the morning, so when we could not find the place in the afternoon to check in, nobody was there to answer the phone. There's no elevator and no help, so be prepared to carry all of your own luggage up two flights of narrow stairs. We had a misunderstanding regarding our bill. It worked out fine in the end, but we couldn't just go to the front desk to fix it, we had to do everything online, so something that would have normally taken two minutes wind up taking half a day. Our room had a nice wood floor, but there were tiny nails sticking up through the floor. We normally don't wear shoes inside, but after having the nails tear our socks and poke the soles of our feet, we had to keep our shoes on. For me, the negatives outweighed the positives, and I would not stay here again or recommend this place to anyone else.

It might have been us not 100% understanding what we were getting ourselves into. First - let’s set the context: if you are looking for an experience of how it feels to live in Palermo - this place is for you. We wanted to have an authentic experience, yes, but also some luxury. We were looking more for a boutique type hotel than an actual B&B in the middle of an all residential area. The room we had was labeled a Junior Suite (“Rosalia” Room 1) and it was right next to the little breakfast area and facing the front street - so very noisy. Vossia is only on the first floor and so, you literally are on the street. We came by car and you need to make sure to get your license plate registered for the restricted traffic areas (i.e. capo market is right around the corner). You can drop your bags and then park your car at a parking garage - just drive around all the narrow streets and don’t let the GPS send you down Via Beati Paoli… that’s where the market is at and you can drive around to make it to Orlando Parking. The location of Vossia is great - literally right behind the cathedral and with many great restaurants in walking distance. The room itself was big and simple - yet nice and clean. Given the price tag of Euro 240 for 1 night however - we were expecting a little more. Essentially Vossia is an old refurbished apartment turned B&B with 5 rooms, a kitchen, reception and breakfast area. It is in an old Palermo house on the frist floor in an otherwise residential building. There is WiFi, the service is great and the room has charme but the price tag is just not justified.

We had a good stay at this hotel. Room was large, furniture abit dated and air con. Room also had a fridge. Clean rooms, staff were super friendly. Hotel is 10-15 minutes walk to the historic centre. Breakfast was lovely also. Good value hotel with 24 hour reception. Only downside is the noisy plumbing every time someone uses the loo, the room next to it can hear it.

The location is a little remote but not bad. Breakfast was good. As for the bathtub, the stopper was bad because I don't usually use it. Basic cleanliness is also good. I spent four days comfortably.

The hotel is very basic, no kettle in the rooms virtually no lounge area, just two sofa's in the corridor between reception and restaurant. The staff were pleasant and the sheets were changed every 3/4 days and towels daily. However, the restaurant was a huge problem. We have stayed at hotels over Christmas in Spain, Portugal, Malta, Cyprus, Tunisia and the Canary Islands and never have we had such an abysmal choice of food. We booked half board but, No buffet just a menu with a choice of two starters and two choices of two main dishes. Dessert is extra. I paid for half board, not half of half board, no desserts included?? Virtually half and sometimes all dishes were pasta which is not good if you want to eat healthy or if like me you are diabetic. Breakfast had even less choice. Cereal, bread, croissants, and cakes. One choice of sliced cheese and sliced ham. Yoghurt, tomato juice and peach no orange juice, no hot dishes at all. Cannot recommend this hotel unless you just want a cheap place to sleep. I mentioned the staff were good, i will praise Miguel in the restaurant who besides being multi lingual was very good at his job, trying to find alternatives, some not on the menu, to help with my dietary requirements The Hotel is a 3 star the restaurant i would rate a zero.

I came to Palermo for couple days and my company organized really nice hotel for to stay. It is located not so far from city centre. There is car parking as well if you came by car. Hotel complex located almost in the city but the view from rooms is on mountains. As I saw each room has balcony where guests can seat and drink coffee ☕️:) Breakfasts were perfect 🤩, first of all waiters were always kind and helpful, they were really taking care about guests. The variety of snacks and sweets was crazy in good way. I wanted to try everything. I am not sure about other facilities such as spa, but reception team was always helpful so if guests didn’t know something they were ready to assist. If I will have chance to come again I would be glad to stay in Casena dei Colli.
