Hotels with Air Conditioning in Palermo

A decent sized room. Furnishings looked very slightly faded. Fantastic view. Excellent breakfast and good waiters. Bar on top of hotel was rather small but good view and drinks were good. Very good front desk staff. Very friendly. Altogether a good holiday hotel in the smart centre of Palermo and I recommend. They have a very good parking service at a cost.

Had the most lovely stay here. First time in Palermo so the location was good for exploring nearby markets and the many many alleyways in search of hidden bars and restaurants. Pool was an excellent bonus to cool off after a day exploring. Shame the drinks were so much more expensive than any nearby bar (10.50 euros for a lager!!) had they been more like 6 or 7 euros we’d have made more use of the hotel bar. Had a great pool DJ on our last day playing chilled tunes that were very welcome after the ‘interesting’ choice of bar music (think fairground circus, marching band, 70s Carry-on film) played on loop everyday! Loved our balcony view watching the cruise liners leave of an evening. Yes it’s a main busy road but close the doors and you can’t hear a thing. Excellent breakfast. Lots of choice and wasn’t the same every day. Would I return? Yes 👍

We had an interesting experience with Hotel Bell 3. Arrived at the airport around 10am, and were supposed to be picked up by the hotel's driver. Well, it took us 1hr and 10-15 minutes to clear passport control, and once we got our luggage and went outside, driver was no where around. We called the hotel and they told us that the driver "waited an hour and left". However, he demanded that we pay him just the same. We took an Uber (taxi) to the hotel, which was $98 (quoted $68). We, of course declined to pay the hotel driver, which made things even worse. He flatly refused to drive us anywhere. Hotel was literally far away from everything, There were no stores, bus stops, or other restaurants around. We had to take the Uber where ever we went, which was super expensive. Trip to the town was $60-70, and to the beach $80-90, one way. Somewhere in the middle of our stay, we patched things up with everyone, and then took a hotel transport to the town and a beach. Other than that fiasco, we liked the staff, reception personnel, waiters, housekeepers, everyone was super nice and accommodating. However, if we were to plan another trip to Palermo, I'd choose accommodation closer to the city or a beach.
