Palazzo Brunaccini Boutique Hotel

Great place, great location, great people.

Somebody from the hotel helped me the parking. I liked the room, mattress and pillow. Big room. Everybody in reception was very friendly. Easy to reach main locations. Everything within walking distance

Classy hotel near the older parts of Palermo, and right next to the large Ballaro market (a short walk to Capo and Vucciria markets). Very well presented with large spacious rooms and excellent bathroom. Warm and comfortable. Staff really friendly and very helpful. We had free parking right at the hotel door, but this is limited. If you're driving make sure you ask the hotel to arrange a central Palermo traffic pass for every day of your stay even if you don't use your car.

Charming friendly welcome, informal but attentive. I left my bags at the hotel in the morning I arrived and they were in my room when I checked in later. Proper lounge with deep leather chesterfields sofas and chairs. Fabulously comfy room with proper table, sofa, tiny balcony with view of historic buildings, reasonable mini bar prices, more breakfast than anyone could eat and all fresh & delicious. Some people seem to have worried about the location. The hotel is actually very close indeed to some famous sights & in 4 days in Palermo (only one night at the hotel) I didnt come across any area with such a good vibe or concentration of things I wanted to see. Yes, Palermo has extremes of wealth and poverty and is (always has been I suppose) a multi-cultural city, but I never felt remotely threatened. As the restaurant was closed I asked for directions to somewhere to eat. The concierge drew me a route on a tourist map and I walked 400 metres to the main pedestrian area with dozens of bars and eateries.I am male but old and lame and an obvious tourist. A 12 year old could mug me. I did see a poor old fellow with soggy pants (I hoped because it had been raining earlier) and thought I heard some small boys call him crazy but walking to my meal in daylight or back in the dark, and in surroundings earlier in the day I always felt safe, safer than I would in London or other large UK cities.

Despite reading a few comments about the "not so pleasant" neighborhood, we had a great time and didn't feel unsafe at all. Yes, there's a few issues, but all in all, the location is very good. We had a lovely stay, great breakfast in the hotel. Beautiful building. The noise of the city didn't really bother us, even at night. It's a southern city, expecting it to be quiet would be a mistake.
