We stayed there for one night in the hope of a comfortable room and a good meal ( as advertised) before we went sailing
It is quite difficult to find and in a VERY rough part of Palermo. You cannot walk out on the street, it feels dangerous.
The staff were generally fine, but the food was truly awful, the worst we had in two weeks in Italy, both dinner and breakfast.
The rooms are 'ok' but the bathroom we had was tiny, the bed not comfortable, the aircon difficult to work and the tv very limited stations. No internet access.
The sea can be seen but it's 100m away, over the 'garden' which is full of rubbish and stray dogs.
The problem is that there are not many other options in Palermo at a sensible price

The only real downside of this hotel is the location - a rather rough part of Palermo. However, there is a bus stop just outside and a fairly frequent bus service into the town centre. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable. Our room overlooked the street, which was incredibly noisy, but once we'd closed the treble windows it was fine. The rooms at the back are probably a better bet as the garden at the rear is beautifully peaceful. The restaurant wasn't that great, and the evening meals were limited, which is a pity because there aren't many places to go to eat in that part of Palermo (a friendly snack bar just down the road - nice if you can cope with the noise of the traffic), and a couple of seafood restaurants (but take your phrase book if you don't speak Italian). I'm sure the menu would benefit from including some traditional Sicilian cuisine, as all our fellow guests were obviously on holiday - British, French, Swiss, Dutch, American, Australian and Czech while we were there. All in all, I'd recommend this hotel.

Receptionist tried hard but ..... we did not get the sea view we had pre-booked (and paid for) because there were not two rooms on the same floor. A problem because my very elderly aunt would not hear the fire alarm. We ordered food in the restuarant and waited for over an HOUR before some of it arrived. Others diners ordering the same starter had theirs but not us. One main meal arrived (without the side dish) at the same time as the starter for my daughter. The hotel were desparate that we shouldn't complain or leave as it would reflect badly on their hotel !!! On checking out the next morning we joined a queue of people also leaving early - so it wasn't just us.

We recently spent four nights at Villa D'Amato and were very satisfied with all aspects of the hotel. The staff was friendly, spoke English and and went out of their way to assist with places to see, restaurants to visit, etc. Our room overlooked the garden which was very tranquil and quiet. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this hotel for the reasons stated above.
