Yes the place look very basic and as you'd expect an old 3* to look it's a bit tired, dated even but overall it appears clean.......Until it is that you get to the night....you could mistake the odd bite for mosquito’s, however when you find them crawling on your bed sheets you know you have a problem a major one.... more

This place is in need of a touch up, but has a nice Italian charm to it The bathrooms are not great, but value for money in Palermo, The area is great for shopping etc and lots of sights are close by Excellent Moroccan restaurant around the corner from this hotel, cous cous with lamb fantastic more

After a very tiring trip from San Vito we decided to stay here for a night before travelling on to Catania as it was closely located to the main bus station....the worst mistake we ever made! Forget the fact that we had to carry our luggage and buggy and toddler to the first floor and then another two flights to... more

I have read some of the reveiws on this site and think some are a little unfair I stayed 3 nights in Palermo after going to a great Irish wedding in the Grand Hotel Taormina what a fantastic town that is, I had a nice large clean room all staff were fine I was not paying for the Ritz the... more

Don't expect luxury if you book the Sicilia! Instead you are going to stay in an old building which the hotel occupies in a maze of rooms. In the halls and passageways there are sofas and mirrors and pictures to look at. Our room was large and inside the building, so quiet and good for a night's sleep. We walked... more

I stayed for a night at the start & end of a week in Sicily, with my husband & 2 year old son. We chose this hotel for its price & proximity to the station/bus to airport. The location was fine, just off main road so not too noisy, but easy to find. Within walking distance of Cathedral, Archaeological Museum... more

This hotel is in a nasty neighborhood for starters. Very dangerous. The pictures on the web site are a joke; they do not match up with reality. There are no windows in the rooms; nor smoke detectors. You have to lock yourself in the room with a skeleton key. The desk clerk spoke some english but he seemed very seedy... more

The Hotel Sicilia is in a great location, just minutes by foot from Quattro Canti and within easy walking distance of Palermo's central train station. At an intersection with a major street (Via Maqueda), I felt quite safe in the area, even at night. The Hotel Sicilia is not a full-service hotel, nor does it pretend to be. It offers... more

We stayed here for two nights. . . I sincerely wish we'd stayed in an agriturismo outside of the city. Firstly, the traffic was crazy, and we had to worry about having our car stolen; secondly, the hotel is near the train station in a slightly sketchy neighborhood; thirdly, and most importantly, the bathroom (and consequently the room) reeked of... more
