Nice checking. Terribly loud… it’s a residential building and people above had a party all night. Do not recommend if you plan to sleep before 3am.
The place was a little difficult to find and once we made it in, it took a bit to get guided up to our room and given the keys. However they kindly allowed us to check in a little bit earlier and were able to give us instructions and a map, even making the suggestion to visit the Ballaro Market first, as it would close soon.
Perfect for one night, just 1-2 people though, would not recommend more than 2. We even had a little balcony which was nice. Walking distance from everything you would want to check out in Palermo.
We really appreciated the host's assistance with setting us up with a car service to the airport as we had a very early flight the next morning. That was one of the biggest highlights for us as it eased our worries about getting a taxi so early the next morning.
Staff, accommodation and cleanliness were superb. The location was convenient to the historic center. If you are driving your own vehicle, as we did, the restrictions for pedestrian traffic make it difficult to navigate your car. The staff was very helpful in guiding us. Valet parking. No breakfast available, but a cafe across the street.

Great location, beautiful rooftop and friendly staff. Rooms are bare minimum and get the job done.
We only spent one night here but the place was stylish and peaceful, despite being literally in the centre of the city’s busiest area. The room was small but we expected this, and overall very clean and well appointed but the floor was quite dirty. Bed was comfy but a couple of extra pillows would have been good as they were very thin so my partner had to use towels underneath his!
Location is great and Alessandro was very helpful. However I would not recommend driving there! Parking is available under ground for €20 per stay but to get there you have to drive through the busiest road in the city, full of tourists and food stalls. Horribly stressful. The car park is tight so they park it for you, and the cars are all one behind the other so they keep the key and you have to ask for your car when you want it. We had to leave at 07.30am for the airport so this was a concern although it was actually very efficient with we called, and someone helped us get the car immediately. We were concerned about it being scratched by someone other than us driving it, from an insurance perspective so had we known this would be the case we would not have stayed here with a car.
Overall though, it was pleasant and very quiet so we had a good nights sleep. Air con was great.

Excellent location in the city center. Walked to everything. We loved our little balcony! The place was very easy to find and checkin and out was smooth.
Hotel was in a very good location, walkable, staff was accommodating and helpful. We liked our view of the street and the busyness of it all. We wish there was another mirror in the room the only one was in the bathroom, hard when 2 women were getting ready.

The location of the property was excellent. Right in the middle of all the main site seeing and restaurants.
Our room was a little tired. The mattress had seen better days and the room could use some updating. It was very clean.
Ideal location right in the heart of the historic centre.
Very walkable with pedestrian walking on the main two streets intersecting the property.
Easy 10min walk from the train station
Very convenient location in a high pedestrian activity area so we heard people out having fun. This is a unit in a suite of units within an apartment building. It feels like a small hotel room that opens into a common area with several tables & chairs, a refrigerator, microwave, supplies to make coffee & tea. We liked the firm bed, good water pressure in the shower, and our own small terrace.
Great location in city centre and room was nice but the maid took the toilet paper roll one day and didn’t replace it. Also no soap or conditioner provided, only shampoo.

We recently stayed at Cassaro 261. We were visiting Palermo for our 25th wedding anniversary. The room was ok. It looked to be remodeled however, the couch and chair in the sitting room were very soiled. It needed a deep cleaning and we did not sit on either of them. Yikes! The bathroom was gorgeous and totally remodeled. We had no issues with it at all. The problem we had with the room was the bed. This was the hardest bed we have every slept on. It litterally felt like we were sleeping on the floor. No exaggeration. The other thing is the noise. The property is close to all the action but it was so hard to sleep with the constant noise. Even at 3am. First thing in the morning, we heard the horses trotting up and down the street. Between the bed, which was insufferable, and the noise, we got zero sleep. The bed and noise were so bad, that we had to leave the property the next morning and secure a different hotel.If you are looking for a romantic and relaxing B & B, this is not the choice for you.
