The Family Affair is a great place to stay.

We had a wonderful time in Palermo and the Family Affair was a great place to stay. Well located in a nice area of Palermo only 15 minutes walk to the old part of the city. Our room was comfortable and well appointed and the daily breakfasts were great. Our hosts were also very helpful. Highly recommended!

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property itself is ok. We booked a small room. What we received was a broom closet. To enter the bathroom we had to move our luggage into the hallway. Our advertised courtyard view was a great view of the air conditioner and the wall of the next building. The whole thing is a bit deceiving. When I tried to talk to the person at the front desk she instantly went from nice to very condescending. She spoke to me like I was a child and had never booked a hotel before when in reality I am an exceptionally well travelled Travel Agent. I won’t be booking this property again and sure will not book for any of my clients.

Muito bom

A localização é muito boa, perto de bons restaurantes e de atrações turísticas - é possível ir a pé. As instalações são muito aconchegantes, quarto bem-decorado, muito limpo e organizado. Não fica alguém o tempo todo na recepção mas são muito prestativos. Como exemplo, no nosso casa, tínhamos que sair antes do horário do café e eles nos deixaram um lanche no quarto.

Ein wunderschönes Boutique B&B Hotel mit geräumigen, schönen Zimmern. Die Innenstadt ist fußläufig erreichbsr und es gibt einige Einkaufmöglichkeiten in unmittelbarer Nähe. Das Personal ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend, das Zimmer wurde jeden Tag im Detail geputzt und das Frühstücksbuffet ist für die Größe der Unterkunft (Zimmer kann man an zwei Händen abzählen) wirklich vielseitig. Lediglich die Siebträgermaschine fehlt, aber der Kaffee ist trotzdem grundsolide und vor der Tür gibt es ja bekanntlich genügend Alternativen.

Great Hotel, Great Location

We had a great stay at Family Affair. It was our first time in Palermo and the hotel was walking distance to all of the major landmarks, but away from the noise and chaos of the historic center. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Breakfast was delicious. Room was comfortable and clean. Neighborhood is stunning with beautiful residential buildings and local shops and restaurants.
