Marianello Beach

Staff were lovely but the room was very dirty (hairs everywhere in the bathroom and the bedroom itself with dirt marks on the wall by the bin). The shower head holder was broken both in terms of height and direction, it totally fell down so you had to hold it yourself to take a shower and the cold tap stays lukewarm at all times. Aircon worked and it was not noisy at all on a Saturday night which was great and the location was fantastic. Appreciate this hotel is a bit of a cheap and cheerful find and we only stayed for one night so it didn’t spoil our trip or anything, but at a minimum the shower should be functional and the room should be clean.

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.
