Casa Marconi  

Location

Not much friendly stuff

Bedbugs. That should be enough to scare you away, but in case it's not: They advertise being close to the Cathedral. That's a bit deceptive. It's a 20-minute walk to the Cathedral, but only a 10-minute walk to the Palazzo dei Normani. However, despite it's proximity to this landmark, the location is less than desirable. The hotel is located in a very sketchy neighbourhood. I'm a tall, strong man, so people don't usually mess with me, yet I felt very nervous walking down the street to the hotel after dark. The walls and door are paper thin, so you can hear everything that happens in adjoining rooms or the hallway. The staff seemed disinterested and sadly uninformed about local things of interest. After wasting 10 minutes attempting to get a simple question answered, I went online and had my answer in 2 minutes. But most importantly, I woke up in the morning with a crink in my neck from the uncomfortable bed and my arms and legs covered in bedbug bites.

Staff were helpful - reasonably priced accommodation with no problems to report.

It was in a walking distance to the city center. Breakfast was served in a pizzeria that belonged to the hotel. We could have there dinner as well. Rooms cleaned every day. Rooms airconditioned.

The location was very poor. As two young girls we were afraid to go to the streets at night alone. Dirty and smelly streets. The whole bathroom was wet after having a shower, didn't have anything to clean it up with. Lights in the mirror didn't work. Italian neighbours were very loud. Didn't have a fridge in the room.

good restaurant. good breakfast choice for budget Italian hotel. decent sized towelling towels in bathroom. handy for bus to Mon Reale

area around hotel a bit run down and not much choice for eating. altho supposed to be located near the old town it is a 10 min walk to Castle Normandie everything else worth seeing is at least another 10 - 15 mins walk. It is not obvious where this hotel is and the taxi dirvers at the station wanted E20 for a 1.5 km journey altho I found someone to do it for E10 is was still excessive. It is a good 5 min from the bus stop to the hotel altho that may be to do with the metro works that are going on. easier going back towards the station

The good was that hotel is near the station (cca 15-20 minutes). The staff was kind and the bathroom was on the room (it was big advantage). The breakfast was sweet but fortunately too cheese and ham:)I dont like sweet breakfast:)The street with historical buildings is very close by walking.

The one disadvantage of this hotel was localita...I have a little afraid when I go to the hotel from station. This hotel was in raffished area.But we dont have any wrong experience with people in this area.

There is no restaurant/café nearby; but the hotel has its own, with accessible prices.

La difficolta' sta Nel trovare gli aspetti positivi!!! Tutto fatiscente, dal lavandino guasto ai pezzi di intonaco che cadevano!

La gentilezza e disponibilità del personale.

I box doccia sono minuscoli (nelle camere singole) e fare la doccia non è un'impresa facile..

L'hotel si trova proprio in centro ed è comodo per spostarsi con I mezzi e per vivere la città. La colazione è abbondante e il personale molto gentile. Le camere sono spaziose e pulite. Ci torneremo sicuramente e lo consiglio a tutti per visitare Palermo ad un prezzo ragionevole.

La gentilezza e simpatia del personale sono sicuramente uno dei punti di forza della struttura.

La doccia nel bagno delle camere singole è davvero strettissima! Fare la doccia può diventare una piccola impresa.

Vicinanza con l'università
