Alma Hotel

Alma Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at Alma Hotel. The number one reason was the staff, they were very friendly and so helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, the bed had 4 foam pillows. The breakfast was a full Italian style with salami, cheese, pastries, cereal, fruit and more, plus a machine that made many types of espresso, even decaf! The location is in a nice area within walking distance to the historic center of Palermo. We would definitely stay there again."
