Hotels near Orsa, Palermo

I stayed at this hotel for one week in October 2023. This was my first time in Sicily and my first time in Palermo. I had a very memorable experience indeed! The rooms are very clean and comfortable. They are also very spacious! The hotel is also located in an excellent location close to the Mercato Ballaro and it's just right around the corner from Piazza Politeama. The staff were all very friendly, polite, and helpful. I would definitely stay there again and definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is thinking of going to Palermo!

Because it is the last stop of the journey, and considering the hotel chain, our vigilance is reduced. When I went to breakfast, I didn't lock the suitcase. When I returned to China, I found that one thousand yuan in the suitcase was gone. I suspect it was stolen in this hotel, because there are lock boxes in other places, and staying here. The RMB in front of the hotel has always been there. I have seen the experience of other people before I traveled. I know that Italy has such a theft incident. I didn’t expect it to happen to myself. I can only blame myself for being too big.

We stayed at this hotel two separate times during our stay in Sicily in April 2022. It's a lovely hotel. It's right in the middle of so many sights and felt safe. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable with big bathrooms. One of our rooms had a view of the hills and the other was street side. My mom's room had a huge balcony that we spent time on soaking up the sun and the sounds of the city. My main reason for writing this review to highlight the AMAZING care the staff provided to my mom and her friend. They caught COVID and were quarantined to this hotel. I was terrified leaving them in Sicily while I went home but the staff took such good care of them. They knew their room number and would ask how my mom was feeling when she called to order breakfast (which is a great breakfast by the way). They helped coordinate retesting. They reassured my mom and were always available to help. My mom and her friend were living off room service and would rave about how great the food and wine was. One employee in particular, Barbara, went above and beyond. She would stop by to see my mom and help her with whatever she needed, such as going to the supermarket to get medical supplies. They were stuck there over Easter and she even brought my mom a chocolate Easter bunny :) and she brought them flowers too and it really brightened their day. My mom and her friend both said she had such a pleasant personality and made them feel cared about and loved. I truly believe their great service actually helped my mom and her friend recover quicker. It was so reassuring knowing that they were in caring hands. We want to go back as soon as they can and will pick this hotel again. Thank you everyone who works there!

The Columbia hotel is classified 2 stars, but deserves 3 for its central and strategic location for visiting Palermo, excellent services and super friendly staff. The double room is large and has a private bathroom with courtesy set, with a beautiful view from the window. There is no elevator, but that wasn't a problem for us. Breakfast is complete with sweet and savory options and can be enjoyed until 10am. Around the hotel there are many places to eat at a good price. Overall, a great hotel. I would stay here again.

I and two other friends stayed at Hostel Agata. We booked the hostel as it was fairly central. The train station was 10 odd minutes away which was handy for when we left Palermo and day trip to Cefalú. Hostel Agata is also close to all the touristic destinations that we wanted to visit. We were looked after very well by the hosts Francesco, Naomi and Anthony. Nothing was a bother and we always had any request fulfilled with a smile. The breakfast is served at the cafe beside the hostel, and we enjoyed the drinks, sandwiches and pizza from the cafe. The main road can be a little loud due to single glazed window, but contrary to some comments we read prior to booking, we found the hostel to be very clean. Will definitely stay here again if I return and shall recommend it to my other friends.

Very satisfied with a stay experience, the hotel is very convenient, very close to the Four Points Square, but the road is very quiet at night, especially like the hotel's roof balcony, good view, sunny, and kitchen, the boss is particularly intimate to prepare breakfast for us, We also enjoyed a seafood meal made by ourselves with their kitchen enjoyed our stay two nights in Palermo B&B hotel，very good location， few minutes walk to quattro canti，boss very friendly， gave good advices for sightseeing and historical culture ，market and everything in Palermo，like the kitchen in hotel， got chance to cook local seafood from nearby market， very good experience and hope to come back again

Albergo ben posizionato anche grazie alla presenza della metropolitana. In ogni caso anche a piedi si arriva al politeama in massimo 20 minuti. Pulizia ottima. Unica pecca per chi lo desiderasse la mancanza di una colazione salata.

Excellent stay, room with a wonderful sea view, abundant breakfast, very professional receptionist service, excellent price. At the end of my stay I paid only 4€ of taxes in total for 2 people.

Greeted by friendly receptionist on arrival late at night. Check in was quick and easy. Our room was on the 2nd floor, the upper-most floor. The room was spacious and well equipped, with two beds, bedside tables, a large chair, a desk, a fridge, television, but most importantly an air-conditioning unit. Everything was in good working order. The outlet plugs are the strange italian 3-pin ones as opposed to the usual Europe 2-pin model, so not all our adaptors worked. Bathroom was decent and has everything one would expect. The shower is rather on the small side and could do with higher water pressure. More than ample lighting in the room. Our only real complaint of the stay is that every single night (we stayed 5 nights) there was an awful noise and commotion coming from directly below the hotel’s balcony - some kind of odd party going on every night. Unsure if this was related to the hotel itself or not. This noise continued well into 02:00H / 2am. I messaged reception every night that ‘il rumore é troppo forte’ but nothing was ever done. Dinner was absolutely awful - shocking quality at extortionate prices; hardly anything traditionally italian either. Save yourself and go somewhere local or in the city centre. Much better and cheaper elsewhere. Location seems good but public transport in the area is abysmal and should not be relied upon. Taxis are incredibly expensive, especially for tourists. Apart from those issues it was a good stay and would stay again. I just wouldn’t dine in the restaurant ever again, and would probably request a room away from that god-forsaken balcony.
