Palermo
Room was basic but clean, bed was comfy. No room service or food service other than breakfast, no flexibility around earlier breakfast times as food is brought in. A safe place to sleep rather than a hotel. Staff very friendly.

This hotel is 18th century mansion that is falling apart. The bathroom smelled of sewage. The shower was just a curtain on the side so taking a shower meant flooding the bathroom. The toilet did not flush without manually doing so inside the tank. The bed was super hard! My advise is stay away from this place

Never again
I contacted the property beforehand and I was told that i could have 2 single beds in my room. When i checked in i was told the property doesnt have any single beds except in the family rooms. The fact i was outright lied too just so they could have my money darn right rude! I didnt get any sleep and it ruined my trip.

Step back in time.
The hotel location is very good. Close to rail station and popular sites. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Helped with travel advice to get to the property from airport. The property is very very old. Which means it’s all marble and stone and everything echoes. Room was clean and nice. The only real downside is the noise outside. It seems the center of Palermo never sleeps. Be prepared to wear ear plugs or get woke many times a night by loud noises. This of course is no fault of the Ballarò and I would not let it keep you from staying there. Just something to be aware of.

2/10 Poor

More a youth hostel than a hotel
Very minimalist comfort without any charm. Uninviting and dirty location. Dated and very old building. Lots of stairs before you get to the front door. Receptionist present only for reception. More a youth hostel than a hotel. We preferred to pay for the 3 nights and leave straight away rather than stay there...(no refund possible...)

It was in a great location. Found finding the hotel in the dark difficult, as the sign for the hotel was small.

4/10 Fair

the area this property is in is extremely dirty and trash absolutely everywhere. I have been busy travelling and did not realize I needed to contact the property about when I am arriving as the front desk was supposed to still be open mid day. I could not get into the property, luckily people coming in let me in with them, or else I would have been stuck outside in the middle of the day as no one was there. When I arrived, no one seemed to be at the hotel, but I saw a paper on the desk with my name and room number, and the room was open so I went in. Maybe 30min later my door flung open when I was in bed. I thought maybe someone accidentally came in, but it seemed to be the manager?? And all he said was I need to give him my documents for check in, I didn’t even know who this person was. It was so unprofessional AND unsafe? He didn’t knock or introduce himself and could have opened the room while I was changing. There was also hairs on the bed and the bathroom was not connected to our room even though some photos show they are connected. The only redeeming quality was that the breakfast was good, but we were not offered coffee once even though others seemed to have coffee made for them. Also, the next morning someone barged into our room once again without knocking.

This was a one night only thing, and it did serve that purpose. The room is clean but quite without charm, the building in disrepair, the block a bit shabby. It's fine if you are not looking to stay somewhere charming in Palermo.

Convenient for a weekend
Just ok. The rooms were in a newer building of the hotel next door. Not as roomy as the original hotel building so the breakfast area is quite cramped and no common space at all in the new building. Rooms nice and modern though. Great location.

Simple, clean rooms with everythingyou need for a short stay including a fridge and daily clean linen. Good location, close to the train/bus station and historic centre. Very helpful, we arrived before check-in and we able to change and leave our luggage which the put in our room when it was free. Messaged us to let us know when the room was avaliable and we we able to leave bags on our last day as we had a late flight. Breakfast was lots of pastries. Would stay again.

8/10 Very good

This was the most amazing hotel experience - from behind the entrance to the street it was like entering another world - a palatial old worldly mansion. The new hotel tucked up inside was perfectly clean . We had a 4 bed room with massive amount of space, high ceilings , bathroom , aircon & spotlessly clean . The staff were so welcoming & friendly & breakfast was ideal. Unfortunately I can’t give 5 stars as the neighbourhood felt very unsafe - and travelling with kids it was quite daunting. Would have felt quite fearful if we couldn’t get through the main gate quickly. For adults looking for a slice of the majestic old world Palermo it would be fine. Very convenient to Quattro Canti … 7mins - straight road.

Great stay!
This hotel was great. The room was clean, had everything I needed (and not to be American about it but the aircoditioning in my room worked great).. The staff were very welcoming and understanding, especially when there was a very serious screw up on my part regarding my reservation dates. I liked the location since it was super convenient to be near the central train station; the farthest I had to go to get anywhere was to get the bus that goes to Monreale. Getting to and from Cefal and the airport was easy. I took two busses to get to Mondello but the stop to start the journey was just around the corner. If you don’t mind walking a normal vacation amount, you are near the Palermo highlights. The old palazzo is handsome, and there’s a beautiful trompe l’œil just hanging out in the breakfast area. If you need a pristine neighborhood, this is not quite your place but I felt perfectly safe (I was reminded by a shop owner to watch my bag once) Breakfast is standard but good (and again, very warmly staffed). If you’re a solo traveler, I definitely recommend this spot for quality of accommodations, quality of staff, and location.

The hotel was a hidden gem right by the Four Corners (about 5min walk). Very friendly and kind staff, clean place right downtown. 5min walk to a Hop On/Hop off stop and perfect for an evening stroll via busy downtown.
