Park Hotel Carrubella  

This hotel is somewhat old-fashioned and its fittings are somewhat dated; no opulent luxury at this location. But it is superbly managed, which more than makes up for any deficiencies. It is located at the end of a very challenging (and long) street--one lane for two directions of traffic. Ample parking, once you reach it, but you'll think twice before driving out and back on a regular basis. Easy and pleasant walk into town, probably about a kilometer. Excellent breakfast. All told, excellent value. I'd stay there again; I'll recommend to friends.

24 hour desk. Good breakfast.

Location at top of mountain over looking Palermo. Very narrow, winding streets to navigate to reach the hotel. Was very difficult to get to due to pedestrians, cars and obstructions during the day.

Scenery and closeness to Palermo and the west coast

Wonderful location just outside the hustle of Monreale but near enough to walk to the cathedral, the main local attraction. Great views over the valley and Palermo for breakfast.

The excellent view. The breakfast room is superbly designed with French windows leading to a beautiful covered terrace, where one could also breakfast, with a wonderful view.

The position 1000' above Palermo was spectacular. Breakfast was good with fresh ricotta part of the offerings every day. The hotel owner Armando and the two Robertos were very friendly and informative. Armando especially is very knowledgeable about Monreale and Palermo. Parking was excellent.

The hotel is situated about 800 m from the center, which might be a problem for people not used to walking very far. We did it twice a day with no problems. The bus into Palermo is temporarily suspended. Talk to Armando for alternatives.

the location of the Hotel with the wonderful view. Breakfast on the sunny terrace where whole Palermo is lying under your foot. The cleanliness of the room and the bath (especially the daily fresh towels wich are dried on the roofterrace).

the narrow street what leeds to the hotel with a bit to much traffic for me

If you don't want to stay in Palermo this is a good alternative. We left our car at the hotel and took a 20 minute bus ride into Palermo. The location is great and the view from the hotel is outstanding. The room is modest but comfortable. Breakfast is good and the staff friendly. There are some beautiful pieces of art in the lobby and dining room.

The hallways and other areas are a bit run down.

Excellent view to Palermo. Very silent.

Poor breakfast.

The view over Palermo at sunrise and at night is fantastic. You can walk to the monastery and cathedral of Montreale.

Breakfast is terrible

An extrememly interesting experience!

Slendida posizione e ottimo il rapporto qualità prezzo. Ambiente confortevole e ricco di atmosfere e particolari dell' antica sicilia ( pavimenti e pannelli in maiolica dipinti a mano). Abbondante la prima colazione, con prodotti locali. Staff molto cordiale e disponibile.

Soggiorno ad Agosto 2011. Il personale è splendido, attento a tutte le esigenze, anche quelle che vanno oltre il soggiorno in hotel, e pronto a fornire l'aiuto necessario. Ospitali come solo I siciliani sanno essere! A pochi passi dal centro di Monreale e comodo per I servizi verso Palermo. Vista impagabile. Rapporto qualità/prezzo tra I migliori trovati sino ad oggi.
