Chiesa Madre

This is not a 4 star hotel. I had a nice room and the staff is helpful. Breakfast is mostly sweets, no fruit. The elevator near my room makes loud groaning noises when in use. But the location is poor, some distance from the tourist area down twisted poorly maintained streets. I got lost twice trying to find it again. Taxis charge 20 euros to take you less than a mile to the main tourist area. Nearby restaurants are for locals with nothing in English. I just can't recommend it because of the location. Otherwise OK.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. A classic, old palazzo, beautifully restored, right in the center of Palermo. Very clean, very comfortable, good sized rooms, quiet air conditioning, and fantastic views from the rooftop restaurant and bar. Be sure to have a drink in the bar with Robert, a true professional with an engaging personality with amazing stories to tell Very highly recommended

Very friendly and helpful owner who goes out of his way to make your stay pleasant. Freshly baked bread and cakes in the morning and an extensive breakfast. Road at the front can have traffic noise and we swapped ours. House is full of antiques and that is either your style or not. Room comfortable with a good bed. Overall quality experience.
