Vila Palagonia

I really loved this place. The room was a cross between an elegant hotel room in a classic hotel to a guest room in a villa. This place has true, old school vibes while being perfectly modern in all amenities. The location is perfect. Two minor cautions. First, must be able to carry your bag up stairs and not be uncomfortable climbing them to get to your room. Second, make sure you get check in directions because the desk isn’t staffed outside their listed hours. I hope to come back because I loved it there.

Really nice hotel. Excellent food and location. Would recommend the shuttle buses and the train for Palermo. Bedrooms very nice and clean.

The hotel changed ownership since the last time I stayed there. They "upgraded" me to a junior suite but the room was just a bedroom and a sitting area with a roll out bed. Pros: Breakfast is good and staff there is great. Clean and updated hotel. Great smelling lobby. Rooms are large enough and well maintained Great location Cons: Unfortunately the staff doesn't really care about tending to the needs of the clients as much as the previous management since we complained about the issues in the room multiple times and nothing was done. The room was located right above the smoking area of the hotel lobby and as you can image the noise, smell and overall experience of the room is less than adequate. Music started to play at 6AM and ended at 11PM daily. This is even heard with windows closed and AC on. Not the best when you are paying $1000 per night. At this point I have been to Palermo 2 times more than I wanted to.
