What a breakfast
The hotel was brilliant. They welcomed us with a little snack and a drink. Breakfast was out of this world. Staff were very pleasant and very helpful. Could not have asked for more. Well done you guys. A lovely hotel very bright and well presented. The only slight downside is the location is a little dirty. However it is close to the attractions like the cathedral i would not walk back in the middle of the night. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Excelent staff!
A lovely little hidden gem that my husband and I had the pleasure of staying for the last 4 days. The hotel is walkable distance to lots of the tourist attractions and the train station. The staff are fantastic, and seem to really care about making your experience as enjoyable as possible. Everything from booking taxis and table reservations. They are on hand to help. Breakfast is in abundance with so much of their locally sourced items like their pie and canoli. And it's yummy! The beds are very comfortable and the hotel is very funky and unique. There is a nice touch of a welcome basket and the self service water tap. There are some parts of the building that are original behind glass, that absolutely adds to the character. The spa is lovely and the massages are fantastic. I highly recommend getting one. You can really feel that the owners heart has gone into this building. It's a truly lovely hotel that I would return to over and over again. Thank you for a fantastic stay

8/10 Very good

The staff at this small hotel make the stay worthwhile. Every member of the team was delightful and helpful. The property itself is old, worn and expensive for what is offered. Our room had no comfortable chair and the tiny desk was covered with a TV and other stuff so it wasn't a workable work space. The rooms look much nicer than they are. The place needs a makeover. But keep every staff member!

Cool artsy hotel
Really enjoyed our stay. Owner, hosts, service and breakfasts were great. Room very comfortable. Hotel decor is very eclectic/bohemian. Location is good for those who like to walk … if new to area, difficult driving and locating hotel. Don’t recommend car rental. Really get a taste of Palermo living. Loved it ❤️❤️❤️

We LOVED staying at the Porta di Castro, very beautiful property with attention to detail. The staff were amazing, so helpful and knowledgeable and always greeted you with a smile. They made you feel like family. The property is very central to all the shops and attractions. You must try the spa its relaxing and so tranquil. The pool is prefect for a quick dip to refresh after a day of sightseeing or just to unwind, especially in the summer months. The breakfast is plentiful as well and delicious with lots of variety. Grazie Mille💚🤍❤️

We loved our stay! The breakfast was the best we had on our whole 2 week trip. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the hotel was within walking distance to many of the main attractions. They had valet underground parking that was perfect. The room was clean and they upgraded us free of charge. Overall, we had an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this hotel. We did not use the pool so I can’t comment on it.

There probably aren’t enough stars for me to rate this perfect little boutique hotel . If I could rate a 20 I would . From reception the night we checked in to where Rosalea warmed us in as if we were family with homemade cannoli to Margaret who went over and above in helping us with suggestions for eating & item of AC to be quickly fixed to the array of delicacies placed in front of us for breakfast to the location of this hotel to walking distance to everything . They welcomed us as if we were the only ones in their home ( of course everyone treated the same . What a gem . It’s an artsy boutique hotel & spa . Don’t miss

What to say. The team could not have been anymore welcoming. There was an issue with the booking but we were upgraded. We had to move rooms but they did all the work. Super helpful, attentive, great with tips and tricks for our visits, and the breakfast was huge! Car looked after and ready when needed (and trust me you don’t want to worry about parking in Palermo). Would recommend to anyone.

Verified Expedia guest review

6/10 Good

The hotel is in a very conveniently and centrally located neighborhood, which unfortunately also means all street-facing rooms are quite noisy. As far as the interior, Porta di Castro is taking ‘shabby’ chic a bit too far, with comforts and convenience frequently sacrificed for quirkiness. Breakfast is generous but impresses more through quantity than quality. Overall far too expensive for what it is.
