What an interesting experience. This hotel is quite old with intricate details and furnishings that are being preserved. It takes you back in history. Room is clean and bed was very comfortable. Shower worked great. Location was ideal. All staff were very nice and helpful. Good value for us.

great choices for breakfast. There was a staff person at the desk all the time, who could answer questions about how to get to places. There was free public parking juat around the corner from the hotel. We could easily get our bags to our room. Since we arrived at the end of the day, there were plenty of spaces, and it was safe!
Very big room. Camplus is apparently also a college dorm, which was fine for us. Lots of young people around.

Edgy and eclectic, Palermo is a symbol of all that Sicily stands for. From buzzing Vespas to the bustling Vucciria market, it simply brims with life.
Wonderful Palermo Cathedral glows radiantly in the Mediterranean sun. Nearby is the city’s last Sicilian Puppet Theater, and across the street is a palm-filled park housing Roman mosaics, though the best are in the archeological museum. At one end is the Norman Palace, a government building home to the fabulous Cappella Palatina, whose gold mosaics are absolutely breathtaking.
Equally magnificent are the gold mosaics lining the 12th-century Monreale Cathedral on the city’s outskirts. Wander the cloisters and note the varying columns and capitals – each pair is different.
Palermo also has fascinating churches: 2 of the oldest are 12th-century San Giovanni degli Eremeti and San Cataldo, each with red, Islamic-style domes. Gesú Church has an incredible Sicilian Baroque interior, while La Martorana’s frescoes are awe-inspiring. A street away is Quattro Canti, an intersection with a fountain in each corner.
Other attractions include the round Teatro Massimo, Mondello beach and Monte Pellegrino mountain overlooking the sea. You get fabulous views of this picnic spot as you fly into Palermo Airport before heading to your Booking.com accommodations.
Enjoyed the many historical sites. Street trash is everywhere and graffiti and broken sidewalks Sad to see beautiful historical buildings poorly maintained. Felt safe and very walkable. Uber worked great when needed.

Fantastic City with great bus transport and lovely people.
Fantastic City with great bus transport and lovely people. The food was excellent. Our favourite place to eat in the day was Capo Market and we enjoyed fantastic seafood there and there was a fantastic atmosphere. In the evening there are loads of choice of eating places in lovely squares around every corner. The city comes alive at night and looks completely different from the slightly decayed look of the city during the day. Although the city has lost its lusture of days gone by, it is full of history character and charm. Make sure you visit Monreale and make sure you visit Mondello Beach. You can get to both of these places easily by bus.

Palermo is a city with so much history as evidenced by the many thematic walking tours. So many monuments, churches, even markets to explore as the city is famous for 'street food' Italian for ... 'street food' :) We walked alot but our first day there was a holiday - May 1 - so we did not experience a full lively Palermo until the following day. If I were to return I would take a historical walking tour to learn about the many civilizations that came to this island and the resulting languages - dialects - that apparently still change from neighborhood to neighborhood. Sicilians are proud of their country and in Palermo they are proud of their city - their pride is contagious!

The architecture, the cultural attractions, monuments, theatres, churches, classic fountains from so many cultural influences was magnificent. It is a completely different sort of holiday in that your days are filled with trips to view their wonderful history. Food is varied but a wonderful culinary experience at good value prices. Restaurants are everywhere!
So different from tasteless high rise hotels in beach resorts with swimming pools!
Palermo & Sicily has character.

Went to Palermo with intention of seeing the Norman mosaics.
Went to Palermo with intention of seeing the Norman mosaics. We saw them but I advise people to be aware that entry to Palazzo dei Normanni is not necessarily available at times tourists might expect so be aware.
The best meal we had there was dinner at I Cucci, Piazza Bologni. Great food at about 50 euro a head with wine

Loved our city break to Palermo.
Loved our city break to Palermo. Lots to see & do especially historical buildings & architecture. Beautiful city, plenty of reasonably priced Hotels & restaurants & not too many tourists
Was the best room we rent in Sicily and general in Italy. The owner she was amazing. Warm welcome and she help us with our luggages. The location is amazing in 5min you are in center of Palermo and the most important monuments. In 2min walking is a free open parking, we park there our car without any issues. Every morning even the breakfast was not included they prepare coffee to my husband. And they clean the room every day. Amazing atmosphere and decoration. Highly recommended. Thank you so much for all those days ❤️
Wow! I’m glad we saved this place for last, it was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. Mariangela is the perfect hostess serving an amazing breakfast. She is so passionate about cooking and sharing her beautiful home. Her place is amazing, love her eclectic style and historic home with a peak at the ruins below through a glass floor! The location is perfect, close to everything but quiet. just loved staying here. Will miss Mariangela’s delicious breakfast and afternoon coffee in the garden. arrivederci Palermo❤️
This is a quality and affordable hotel. As a guest, you receive a quality room, customer service, basic hygiene products, help with learning the area, and so forth. The hotel is centrally located. There is a nearby grocery store. The hotel is not far from the Palermo Central train station, which has trains to take you throughout Sicily, Italy, and Europe. I applaud the owner for investing money in this quality hotel and offering good customer service, which is lacking in hotels throughout the world.
It was probably the best apartment i 've ever stayed in Italy. Impeccably clean, with everything one may need for a short stay, and really beautifully decorated with antiques and Sicilian ceramics. Its tiny balcony let us have our morning coffee as if we were part of Sicily's every day life! The owners were friendly, polite and helpful. La Giara is centrally situated, near the bus/train station but still in the very centre of the city's historic heart and most sights.
This is the great apartment in the middle of old Palermo. It is spacious and stocked with all the necessary things, including washing machine, espresso machine and even espresso capsules. The host was extremely friendly, helpful and gracious. It was my best stay in Sicily and I really enjoyed it. The location is very convenient to everything. The only reason I didn't give the maximum points for location, I reserve those to the ones with the sea views.
The host was very friendly and gave some helpful advice about where to eat and shuttle bus to airport etc. When he wasn't there his son was just as friendly . The room was very large,very comfortable and kept clean by a nice lady. The location is excellent for the centre of Palermo everywhere within walking distance. The breakfast was impressive, quality and selection is the best we have had in Sicily. We would definitely stay here again
Gianni and Monica are lovely hosts. The B&B is newly renovated and modern, spotless, and cheerful. The best bed pillows we’ve ever found in Italy! It is close to many good restaurants and located in one of the main boulevards of Palermo. Breakfast was over-the-top delicious, everyday including new selection of Sicilian pastries, as well as ham, cheese, fruit, and cereal. And of course, espresso and cappuccino and juice.
Cristina's apt is full of charm and all the great vibes of Sicily. We were warmly greeted and she felt like my auntie away from home. Breakfast was incredible, made with love and care. Best pastries and fruit, everything was just perfect and delightful! She also introduced us to the best tour guide, Gigi who showed us all around Palermo and beyond. Pro Tip: Ask Cristina for Gigi's contact for great tours!
Neat apartment close to train station and main sights of Palermo. Good volume. Comfortable, clean. Well equipped kitchen. Place seems to have been recently renovated. Host Massimiliano is very nice. Offers a reasonably priced private commute from the airport, although it's not much faster than the public bus. Good communication from the host. Finally someone who can speak English in Sicily. Good price.
The property was excellent! The staff enhanced this making our stay awesome! Good location. Nice rooms and great outside patio area. I really can’t say enough good things about property and especially our host. She make excellent recommendations, helped with airport transfer, trip to beach and even breakfast. Best host and stay on our two week Italy vacation!
Hard to think of something. Sicily is horrible. I have been in at least 50 or 60 countries in the world. This is only comparable with a poor 3rd world forgotten country. So sad.
Even my 5 star hotel bedroom.was smaller than my bathroom. And the whole hotel had a rancid smell. Can't they spend on some deep cleaning? Does all the money has to go to their pockets?
We only stayed one night, and arrived late and left very early for the airport. But it was a great place to stay, the room was cosy with quaint styling. Its only a 2 minute walk to the train and bus station which made it perfect for us. The bathroom was very good, one of the best showers I had in Sicily. We also appreciated that the building has an elevator.
We throughly enjoyed staying at Addimora Boutique Suites! The beds, linens, decor and everything really was top notch. The breakfast was amazing, especially the Sicilian pastries and fruit.
It was our first night in Italy and Palermo, we asked to stay all four days here because we loved it so much but they were unfortunately full!
We used the apartment as our gateway to Palermo/Sicily and the location is perfect for that purpose. Advise: if you are arriving from the airport, get of the bus as close to Via Sant Augustino as possibe and save a long walk from the Central Station. And as she said as we walked through the door: "I could live here!"
Great location, short walking distance from all the historic landmarks and the three markets of Palermo. Alfonso is an excellent host, always available to help and gave us great tips on what to do and where to eat. The breakfast was one of the best we had in Sicily!
Dynamite hotel in a fantastic location with great views of the sea, the port, the city, the mountains. The pool, the food, the service was all top quality! My wife tells me we have to go back! Most luxurious hotel in Palermo, maybe all of Sicily. Wow.
I was travelling around Italy and Sicily this spring and Fronte Mare Arenella was the best place I was staying in. Very cosy, clean and homely place. The host Monica was wonderful and helpful and I felt very welcomed. I cannot recommend it enough!
Comfortable bed, immaculately clean apartment, best breakfast in Sicily.
The hosts could not have been nicer! Their warm welcome, and their helpfulness ( like calling for a taxi), made our stay easy. Thanks so much!
The hosts were the best! We talked for hours about Sicily and our lives. The property is perfect, in the most center location of Palermo. Highly recommend this stay!
