"The most important part of any hotel stay for me is the cleanliness of the room and overall property. The hotel scored really high marks on this criteria!! Moreover, the suite room was really spacious and the bed was really comfortable. We loved the room! The hotel is also in a really desirable part of town, close to everything and the rooftop restaurant/bar had spectacular views. This is a great property and I strongly recommend it!"

Eurostars Centrale Palace

10/10 Excellent
"This is an old world hotel that does not disappoint in its style and uniqueness. The location is right in the heart of historic Palermo with all the sights within 15 minutes walk in any direction. The breakfast is amazing. The rooftop restaurant is a charming and quiet with a wonderful city panorama with mountain surrounding all around and great for sunsets. The terrace bar is quiet and private with a charming waiter who will remember you. This is a spot for travelers who enjoy an old world experience with charm. If you want to be overlay pampered and think you deserve fantastic luxury - then stay away. You’ll just complain and I don’t want the staff to have to deal with you."
