A beautiful hotel, and a very competent and nice personal !

Cécile

We were upgraded to junior suite as there were not many other guests (November). It was an excellent bonus, even though we didn't find much use for the additional room. Breakfast includes everything from bacon and eggs to fresh fruits and sweet cakes. It also included spumante, and that really highlighted our morning. The breakfast room is gorgeous and also other public areas were pleasant. The location of the hotel is excellent, as there is only a short walk to main attractions of Palermo. Remember to visit nearby Mercato Vuccheria in the evening, lots of people and music!

Its location was excellent and it had old-world charm. The "sack breakfast" was handy as we had to leave early for the bus airport connection

David

It is a grand old building. The breakfast was good and served in a gorgeous ballroom.

Carla

Grand old hotel in good location with comfortable beds and a good bathroom.

Amanda

Nice centrally located hotel within walking distance of most major sites.

This hotel is an old aristocratic lady stuck in the past. It has had its days of glory reflected in the huge wasted spaces, ballrooms and salons, and now in serious need of repainting and refurbishing. Most of the staff, going on in age, look at today’s clients as out-of-place, but alas, necessary to keep the show going. The room we occupied was large, well appointed and modern by the standards of the reception rooms. The buffet breakfast supplied all the essentials, without imagination. The hotel has no on-site parking, a valet will take your motor when you arrive, and return it on demand, and with 30mn notice.

Grand Hotel Et Des Palmes is an elegant Art Nouveau building, right outside the restricted traffic area. It is a 5-minute walk from Palermo’s Massimo and Politeama Theatres. The property has classically furnished rooms and an extensive continental breakfast.

Rooms at Des Palmes are decorated with traditional furniture and fine fabrics. Each has air conditioning, satellite TV and a minibar.

Breakfast is served in a luxurious hall, and includes Sicilian specialties such as almond pastries and granita crushed ice in summer. Il Gattopardo piano bar serves cocktails and Marsala dessert wine. The on-site restaurant is open for dinner and offers a blend of Mediterranean and European cuisine.

Palermo Port, where ferries depart for Cagliari and Naples, is a 10-minute walk away. Palermo Cathedral is 1 miles from the hotel.

This is our guests' favourite part of Palermo, according to independent reviews.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.9 for a two-person trip.

WiFi in the room was very poor. Breakfast also not very exciting. Same selection each day. Hotel needs to update selection. Also if you are going to serve scrambled eggs then these should be hot.

Junior suite carpets and ceiling might need small update, but the atmosphere gets you to 'forget' these kind of small items.

Ok, first, you need to know something before starting this review. We are talking about an hotel funded in the late 1800. Yes, It’s a classic. Big rooms, high ceilings,a roomy bathroom. But unlike others hotels, this has been adapted trough time, It’s well kept. The staff is nice and kind, breakfast it’s good and served in a classic late 1800’s saloon, was a nice experience.

- • Leisure trip

The hotel was very "tired". It must have been beautiful in its day but the carpets in the halls are dirty and there is paint peeling off the walls. The air conditioning did not work. It is just an old hotel in need of a lot of tic.
It is a grand old building. The breakfast was good and served in a gorgeous ballroom.
