San Paolo Palace Hotel

The hotel is very spacious, and I found it convenient as I was attending an event there. The breakfast was decent, nothing exceptional. I would have liked to see more local Sicilian products. One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast area on the 14th floor, which offers a beautiful view of the sea. The hotel also has a swimming pool, which I didn’t get the chance to use, but I imagine it would be a nice addition during the warmer months.

The main downside for me was the location. The hotel is about a 20/30-minute walk from the city centre. The surrounding area isn’t particularly pleasant to walk around, although after about 15 minutes on foot you can reach a much nicer area by the sea. I also don’t think the hotel offers great value for money. The room had all the basic comforts and was reasonably clean, so it wasn’t a bad experience overall, but for the price I paid, I expected a little more. I stayed mainly because I was attending an event at the hotel’s conference centre, which made it convenient. Otherwise, I probably would have chosen somewhere else.

When we arrived I was very impressed by the Pool view and the experience with swimming on top of Palermo. Then the next morning I was having breakfast there, that was very impressive !!! The food was just delightful we booked dinner 2 times at the hotel and the experience and staff were very kind. Kids friendly with kids chair and understanding when we needed to leave. The cool part is the bus service that can be used all the time when needed as travelling with a car in Palermo was not recommended. In any case the parking and closeness proximity to highway was very nice. We will come again !!! Expect us in 2027.

Good breakfast, items refilled and replenished whatever time in a morning

Pool was only open for a few hours during the day

The hotel itself is fine, but it’s in a terrible location

The location is absolutely horrible. It doesn’t feel safe. They didn’t tell us that the pool closes Oct 1.
