We arrived in Palermo at midnight by bus. The hotel is located at the edge of the city center, unfortunately on the other one as the bus station. With our map and the help of a kind women we got to the hotel in 30 minutes. The hotel is a classical building as shown on the photos. Our room was... More

we spent one night in palermo and this hotel was excellent away from the bustle but not too far and in a nice area of the city. the bus to the airport is very convenient and not far from the hotel. the room was clean and although they gave us a room i believe in the attic, the windows could...

We stayed for 2 nights in November 2011. The Hotel is difficult to find on the bus unless you ask bus driver to drop you off at the address. Although Bus 101 (which was extremely convenient) stops only 100 meters from the hotel, the bus passes the backside of the Hotel. The room was extremely noisy, and the carpet and... More

I highly recommend a stay at the Hilton. Being away from the old part of town is a must with less noise and more modern facilities yet still within a short walk to the city centre. Great big bathroom with a bath and the bed wasn't too bad. Only down side is the rubbish smell comin through the window and... More

My wife and I stayed at the Excelsior Hilton Hotel during our week long tour of Sicily, and we found the hotel to be very clean and comfortable. The location is good, but not ideal if you plan on a walking tour of Palermo's historic sites. Our room was large, but very noisy as we needed to open the windows/patio... More

I traveled with friends to run the Palermo Marathon/Half-Marathon and the hotel was perfectly located, right at the Start/Finish Line and across Via Della Liberta from the Giardino Inglese gardens. The neighborhood is mostly residential/shopping so there are excellent restaurants and a good Carrefours grocery store close by. The hotel is beautiful and rooms were very nice with good-size bathrooms.... More

We paid more than our usual for this hotel, but the price seemed the same as mere B and Bs in less salubrious areas, and being a little worried about security in Palermo we plumped for the posh hotel. Pros: v. elegant, great service, the airport bus stops outside the building, the area is safe and smart, the breakfast was... More

Based in a historical building the Hilton Excelsior is a nice spot to spend your days in Palermo. Located on the rim of central palermo all the tourist spots are still somewhat within walking distance. The hotel itself is grand and the rooms are fine, with nice big bathrooms. The bar serves some good wines for ok prices. More

we were two families with children travelling to Palermo, and we stayed at the Excelsior for 3 nights. We had two very elegant suites, well furnished, but the sofa bed for the children was really small and unconfortable. It would have been much better if they had had two separated single beds, the room was large enough. Besides my friends... More
