Hotel Politeama

Great hotel in a great location for a two-night stay. Functional, quiet and clean room with comfortable beds on the 6th floor. We liked the ease of parking in the midst of the chaos of Palermo! Drive up outside and unpack and hotel valet parking service for Euro 20 a day very reasonable, especially after the shock of driving into Palermo on a Friday afternoon. Thank goodness this hotel is location a few minutes 'outside' the centre. Never had time for breakfast during our stay so unable to comment on that. Great location overlooking the Politeama Piazza, close enough to the historic centre for a short walk to eateries and bars. Roof top bar is a wonderful touch - we enjoyed some very well priced but delicious Sicilian wine with some great views over the city. We didn't eat here, but the menu looked a good selection. Super location for us as well as close to the Ferry Port a short 5 min drive for our onward journey to Sardinia. Hotel reception staff a particular pleasure to chat to. Thanks for a lovely stay in your wonderful city!

Nothing.

We had a terrace room which was lovely and room was well equipped and very clean and comfortable. staff were lovely and helpful, especially the lady on breakfast service. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant on one evening but plenty of restaurants locally.

generally the hotel was really nice and we would definitely return if in Palmero. Our only criticism (very minor) was the lack of atmosphere in the restaurant in the evening and very small choice on the menu. A few more choices and some background music would make a big difference. Also the breakfast had great choice but again the room lacked any atmosphere or view. As I have said, these are really minor issues though that did not detract from a lovely stay.

The location is just fantastic and perfect if you want to stay in Palermo with everything around and only a few minutes walk away.

We specifically asked for a quiet room when booking the room and sent another email a few days later but we’re given a room on the street and it was a nightmare: we couldn’t sleep all night due to the noise of cars, motorcycles, people, etc. The next day we asked to be changed and we were given a room away from the street and it was very quiet so it was great.

Amazing location and super friendly staff. Room was very spacious, clean and bed was comfortable. Wi-Fi worked perfect during our stay. They stored our luggages without any extra charge. Bus from the airport stops right in front of the hotel, making it a cheap and super convenient commute. A/C in the room was amazing!

Shower was a bit too small. Maybe slightly overpriced for what you get. But still affordable considering I send during peak season in July.

Great location, about a 5 minute walk from Teatro Massimo. Hotel staff were very accommodation - I arrived to the hotel around 8am and my room was not ready but they allowed me use the gym facilities and store my luggage while I waited. When my room was ready they had moved my bags upstairs, which I greatly appreciated. Breakfast was buffet style with plenty of options. I found the area to be quite safe generally, especially as a solo female traveller.

Hotel Politeama was located near the historic centre of Palermo. There were plenty of restaurants, cafés and bars near by. The room was spacious, with great facilities such as two armchairs. It was clean, well appointed and comfortable. There was free WiFi. An evening meal, served as room service, was excellent. It arrived promptly and was delicious. The breakfast was very good with pleasant helpful staff. We arrived at 1am in the morning. The staff were efficient, competent and friendly. It was a great welcome in the middle of the night.

We struggle to find anything we didn't like about this hotel. It was great. We would stay there again.

The location is as good as it gets near the center of the old city of Palermo. The building is modern, room was clean and with comfortable beds. Breakfast was great. Staff was very helpful: we took a transfer from the eastern part of Sicily and the driver was not familiar with the city of Palermo. Staff helped him live over the phone to drop us off at the door.

Room decor was spartan. Our room had a window out on the square of Garibaldi Politeama theater and it got rather noisy at night. Small price to pay for the great location.

Very nice hotel in a central location. Very spacious room with wonderfully comfortable king size bed (we had a superior room). Very clean. Interior design on the ‘minimal’ level but functional. Very good breakfast with a wide selection of sweet items (including home made cakes), savory options also available. Rooftop terrace with amazing views over the city (drinks and food there are expensive though). Overall good value for money (surely not on the cheap end, but in our opinion worth it!)

Very nice hotel in an excellent location. Very clean and quiet. The staff are very professional but also very friendly and the service they provided was excellent. We would definitely stay there again.

We only had one glass in the room albeit we were a couple. Also, we are a little old-fashioned maybe, but we didn’t like the paper cups in the room, more used to ‘proper’ cups which are washable.

We had a wonderful 7 days holiday in the hotel. Although the hotel is 4* but for a room with balcony and wonderful view will be 5*. The location is just so good and airport bus just outside of door. The room and cleanness are super. Thanks for our room chamber who cleaned our room at daily basis and we could not fault anything although I can spot everything professionally as a hotel owner.

1. It would be nice if there is international channel in TV since we both do not understand Italy language and TV is just no use for us. 2. I run a hotel as well and we have travel information rack in reception and our staff can make some recommendation. However, when we tried to find local tours, we could not find information in reception and no recommendation from staffs (maybe English difficulty). But we can understand it with these minor things
