B&B Hotel Palermo Quattro Canti

B&B Hotel Palermo Quattro Canti

8/10 Good
"The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the room was spacious and well decorated. Great bathroom and a balcony over looking the Fontana Pretoria. Only downside for us was the position of our room was on the first floor closed to the ground outside where it was very loud throughout the whole night. Heavy sleepers would be fine, light would not. Didn't dampen the hotel at all, though."

Attention to detail is the rule. Breakfast was fabulous and the lobby is a wonderful place to relax and have a drink after a night out. At first the neighborhood seemed a bit on the gritty side, but that seems to be much less of an issue after we got the hang of things and were more comfortable. We think this hotel is awesome."
