This should be a very very average 3 star hotel. The hotel is in a good location but thats about it.
Staff cant be bothered and are quite rude, they have no problems talking about you when they think you dont understand!!!!, The hotel and especially the rooms are very tatty, bits of concrete are missing from the balconies, everything which needs to be attached to a wall is at a jaunty angle - especially in the bathrooms. The air con doesnt work, I reported this twice, the first time I was told they dont allow it to be turned on till 7pm!!! the second time I was ignored, it didnt work once over 3 days!. There were footprints all over the bedroom wall - I didnt bother to ask why! and no tea or coffee in the rooms, even a Travelodge or a B and B has that!
The rooms and public areas are not cleaned to even an average standard and the bar in the hotel is actually the corridor to get from reception to the 2 very old, small and groaning lifts.
Breakfast is OK ish, avoid the coffee, got to be the worst I have ever tasted. If you like toast and cake then this is the breakfast for you. No hot food available but there is a plate of cheese and meats (god help the veggies as they are all on the same plate) all hot drinks are from a machine - nothing is fresh. There is no service and everthing is a bit of a scrap to get the last of something, as it may not be replaced.
All in all i would avoid this hotel and would only stay again if there really was no other choice. Not an enjoyable or relaxing place.
Room Tip: avoid if at all possible, if you have to stay get a high room or will get no peace from the traffic.

Dear Guest,
I'm very sorry for your review. I waited a few days before reply to you....I tried to understand what happened because it was a surprise for us. It's not our style discuss with the guests, but I would like to clarify some points with you:
air conditioning is not working in February....I think it's normal....
no coffee and the machine in the room....I don't think all the 4 star hotel in the world have this service included in the room rate...
the bar is only a corridor...from Palermo arrives a lot of external people to have an appetizer in our bar every day....
no warm food during the breakfast...omelette, bacon...
Anyway, I'm sure that something went no so good during your stay, but we are here to solve all your problems...unfortunatelly we can't change the aspect of the hotel and the atmosphere if you were searching for something different...and probably you was looking for another kind of hotel.
I understand your position and I'll do my better to guarantee everyday the best service and to solve all the inconvenients, that may happen to our guests, hoping to welcoming them again in the next future.
With my Best Regards
Andrea Stancato
