Hotels Near Palermo Centrale Railway Station in Palermo

I stayed here with my family. Super welcome, so much kindness from Joseph the owner, always available and careful to the needs. Unfair cleaning, location too. We are very comfortable to reach both the station and the city centre. Breakfast is also excellent. What I am saying is that you sleep well and there is no night noise to disturb just so much relax. Great advice on what to do and move! Thank you, Joseph, if I were to go back I wouldn't go anywhere else

In fact, it is more like a homestay. There are four rooms with independent bathrooms and a shared kitchen on the first and fifth floors (equivalent to the second and sixth floors in China). The so-called breakfast is just ready-made small bread, tea bags and coffee bags. , willing to cook here is the best choice, and the location is also great. It is less than ten minutes walk to the Central Railway Station, where you can take the airport bus for 6 euros an hour to the airport. It may be a problem with the communication between Ctrip and the homestay. In fact, each person has to pay 1.5 euros of tax per day, but the homestay also charges a cleaning fee of 10 euros per day. This is because the official website of Ctrip did not publicize or the owner of the homestay did not inform Ctrip in advance. It is recommended that all expenses be paid Included in the room price for guests to choose.

”The rooms are big and nice if you choose the double bedroom, there should be some renovations made not long ago so the facilities are new The bed is big and comfortable, and the bathroom is clean and very accommodating. She has even made a birthday cake for my friend during breakfast! ”

Like many locations there is good and bad. First the good. The hotel is in a nice location by the marina. Food at the restaurant overall was above average but the staff work tirelessly. That is where it ended for us. The front desk was rude and not helpful for the most part. They seemed annoyed every time we asked them a question or for a recommendation of places to eat. We had two rooms. One smelled of smoke and the other of mildew. The AC rarely made it cold in the room. The hotel seems to have been updated recently but the rooms were dirty/dusty and run down in many areas. If you pay for the water view then be prepared for it to be very loud-especially on weekends. There is a busy street and many parties right outside your window. If you are from the US, expect there to not be wash cloths. That is not uncommon in Europe and this hotel was no different. Lastly, we purchased a third room for a friend who's flight got canceled. This hotel would not refund us and walked away from us when we tried to get an explanation other than ”it is our policy”.

Because the plane can't catch up with the random hotel, it will be booked. In fact, it is a youth hostel. I can't choose it.

The Columbia hotel is classified 2 stars, but deserves 3 for its central and strategic location for visiting Palermo, excellent services and super friendly staff. The double room is large and has a private bathroom with courtesy set, with a beautiful view from the window. There is no elevator, but that wasn't a problem for us. Breakfast is complete with sweet and savory options and can be enjoyed until 10am. Around the hotel there are many places to eat at a good price. Overall, a great hotel. I would stay here again.

There are no dishes in the room except for two paper cups.:( We asked for two cups, but they gave us plastic ones. This is strange, because the hotel has a bar and a restaurant. Breakfasts are delicious. The location is a bit far from the center and in a rather dirty area, but there is a beach nearby (albeit very dirty) and a nice tourist promenade with cool restaurants for dinner. The cleanliness does not correspond to 4*, the rooms are very old.

First of all, the location is perfect and the rooftop makes it possible to relax and have the best view over Palermo. Let’s talk about the staff. Never in any destination I’ve meet a staff so friendly, funny, helpful and generous. The hostel has everything you need, kitchen, free food, music instruments, play rooms, amazing outdoor areas, bar, and a pool is upcoming too. The rooms are really clean and spacey. Bed and room temperature is comfortable. The only problem was that I had to leave.

Greeted by friendly receptionist on arrival late at night. Check in was quick and easy. Our room was on the 2nd floor, the upper-most floor. The room was spacious and well equipped, with two beds, bedside tables, a large chair, a desk, a fridge, television, but most importantly an air-conditioning unit. Everything was in good working order. The outlet plugs are the strange italian 3-pin ones as opposed to the usual Europe 2-pin model, so not all our adaptors worked. Bathroom was decent and has everything one would expect. The shower is rather on the small side and could do with higher water pressure. More than ample lighting in the room. Our only real complaint of the stay is that every single night (we stayed 5 nights) there was an awful noise and commotion coming from directly below the hotel’s balcony - some kind of odd party going on every night. Unsure if this was related to the hotel itself or not. This noise continued well into 02:00H / 2am. I messaged reception every night that ‘il rumore é troppo forte’ but nothing was ever done. Dinner was absolutely awful - shocking quality at extortionate prices; hardly anything traditionally italian either. Save yourself and go somewhere local or in the city centre. Much better and cheaper elsewhere. Location seems good but public transport in the area is abysmal and should not be relied upon. Taxis are incredibly expensive, especially for tourists. Apart from those issues it was a good stay and would stay again. I just wouldn’t dine in the restaurant ever again, and would probably request a room away from that god-forsaken balcony.
