"Très bien situé pour visiter Palerme à pied. Pouvoir garder sa voiture dans la résidence est un véritable atout dans cette ville. L appartement est très confortable et très fonctionnel. Il est très bien insonorisé. Nous sommes arrivés très tard le soir, et quelqu un de la famille du propriétaire a pu malgré tout nous accueillir ! Super !"

6/10 Okay
"The location of the hotel was perfect for shops and restaurants. But the hotel experience was ok. The staff can be friendlier. But what was not acceptable was the cleaning staff left 2 dirty mattresses in the hall for more than 24 hours."
