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

Hotel like palermo needs a lot of work done on it falling apart in the main areas damp with very dirty hall ways carpets don't think they have been cleaned for years the room on the other hand was good except the carpets accepts from the dirty carpets the room was very clean with bedding and towels changed everyday staff all so very helpful just like Palermo very run down

Andrea, United Kingdom

Classic old grand hotel, with beautiful details and architectural gems.

Sciascia, USA

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

Iain, United Kingdom

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.

Christian, United Kingdom

Very old facilities, was not hygienic, had a bad smell! Had to change hotels as was traveling with parents and young child. The staff did however move us to another room in the second night but was still bad! The only good thing about this hotel is the location!

One of our top picks in Palermo.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.

Ruggero Settimo is a great choice for travellers interested in food, monuments and culture.

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.

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.

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.

Hotel was horribly dated and dirty. The front entrance was not swept the entire 3 days we were there. Finger prints all over the glass, filthy rugs and dirt and grime everywhere. It is one thing to be dated but unacceptable to be dirty!

Air conditioning was not working and our rooms were very hot. The internet was not effective in the rooms and staff were perfunctory- not especially friendly.
Location was perfect for touring. We liked the breakfast. When we left a knapsack in a taxi that we took from the hotel, the hotel was immensely helpful - contacted the taxi company and our bag was returned. We were so appreciative of the staff’s efforts.
