When I returned to BA my friends and I were recommended this hotel by our previous accomodation owners - Adobe Hotel. This place was very pretty with a beautiful rooftop terrace and inside garden area. The rooms are clean and simple although not too large. Breakfasts are good too. Well worth staying and I would definitely return if Abode is not available.

My sister and I selected the Rugantino based on on-line searches. We wanted a small, family-run bed and breakfast not far from the city center. Two of my sister's friends also booked a room there. The hotel is located within walking distance to the Subte (subway), ATM's, many restaurants, artist galleries, and boutique shopping. Tango clubs are also nearby in the Palermo Viejo district. Carlo, Nicola, and Andrea were wonderful hosts, professional and giving great suggestions for dining, shopping, sightseeing, and walking. The hotel is an old, multi-story, renovated city home, with a European-style breakfast, is tastefully furnished and clean. The courtyard is an oasis in the city. Some plumbing may need adjusting or replacing. There is a private club next door that can have parties on weekends with some noise. Otherwise, the hotel is quiet and relaxing. All four of us were very pleased with the service, price, breakfast, rooms, and hosts.

I stayed at Rugantino for a week, I was looking for a confortable and familiar place in Palermo. It is well located, close to many restaurants and shops, and the neighborhood is very safe for women travelling alone.
The bedroom was ok, warm enough during the cold nights (good heater), and the linens were always clean and fresh.
The most special thing you'll find here is the attention given by the staff, Nicola and Andrea are always friendly and helpul, they do their best for the comfort of the guests.

My husband and I have travel all over the place and and this was the most welcoming and lovely hotel in a fantastic location. We stayed here for three nights over the Christmas holiday and were so sad when we had to leave. When we arrived here we instantly felt welcome - more so than any hotel or hostel I have stayed in. The hotel is run by a father and son. The rooms were perfect size and very romantic with big windows. They serve breakfast until late which is nice so you can sleep in. They were so helpful with any questions we had even offering to call the airline for us to help rearrange our flight. I cannot recommend this wonderful hotel enough and cannot wait to return.
