Location and personnal is amazing

Quaint and interesting hotel in central area. Good room, friendly, helpful staff and excellent breakfast

The staff is absolutely wonderful!! We arrived early, room was not yet ready, and we were immediately presented with the most magnificent breakfast and cappuccino as well as great local information in order to plan our day.

We had a "junior suite with balcony". It did have a balcony. There was toilet paper in the bathroom. But no toilet paper holder so you had to take it in your hand. The room had a/c as described but it dripped water in our faces. Fortunately we carry duct tape and we were able to tape a towel over it. There was a mini fridge as described. But when we entered our room two sketchy guys followed us and replaced the fridge. They did not remove the plastic or plug it in. The "suite" was one very small room plus the bath. We have no idea why it is a suite and the price we paid was comparable to a suite at a real hotel. When we checked in the "owner" was not there so the place was short staffed. We were told to sit in the breakfast room and enjoy a treat. We had no idea how long it would be and we weren't told. We were only told the owner wasn't there and they were very busy. It was 5pm and we were hot and wanted a shower. The reviews that brought us here weren't all wrong. The place is funky and well located. Alessandro is nice and the breakfast is great. But I wouldn't expect a four star hotel or a reasonable rate. Come prepared for an experience and don't expect anything.

Great hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They were finishing some construction throughout the hotel during our stay but it did not have a major impact on the quality of our stay. Breakfast was fantastic. Staff provided map and city recommendations at check in. Complimentary water and a couple alcoholic beverages were also provided. Room had air conditioning but it was not very strong and did not cool the loft area of our room. Overall wonderful hotel would absolutely stay there again.

Check in staff very lackadaisical, place not very clean or well/maintained. Overall, I would pass. However, check out staff and breakfast very good.

Friendly and welcoming hotel. Receptionist offered coffee on arrival and a map with her suggestions for places to visit. Charming building and spacious room. Breakfast was first class. Hotel also arranged for a taxi to the airport.

Although not the most wheelchair friendly place to stay the staff were so helpful in accommodating us. Amazing breakfast. Excellent customer service. Great location, easy walking distance to everything. Would highly recommend this place and will most definitely come back.

The staff was friendly and helpful, helping us get a taxi, and a seat for a late dinner the day we came in. Breakfast was incredible, delicious, plentiful. I would definitely stay here again. The location was great as well, very close to everything we wanted to see in Palermo.

Porta di Castro B&B was overall wonderful! The breakfast spread cannot be beat. It is a feast every morning! The staff at breakfast were always so friendly and attentive. The inside of the hotel is very charming and unique. Lots of beautiful brick, paintings, and statues that really added a lot of character. The owner kindly upgraded our room free of charge. Just steps away from some of the big landmarks in the city. Great location! 10/10 recommend staying here if you visit Palermo.

My stay here was amazing, the staff were incredible. Very knowledgeable, great recommendations and could not to do enough to help. I very much recommend staying here you will absolutely love it. Also P.S - Breakfast is a winner.

Very hospitable staff very welcoming, lovely atmosphere and they went over and above to make our stay as comfortable as possible

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was over the top amazing! We’ve never had a more delicious breakfast anywhere. We were within easy walking distance of many major attractions, especially the palace and cathedral. Parking is difficult, but Alessandro will park your car to a safe enclosure for you.

Very friendly staff

Lovely hotel, located near the Cathedral and a short walk to the Quattro Canti. The staff are very friendly and professional. Breakfast is a literal feast! You are not meant to eat it all, but you will eat well and will only need a light lunch. I drove and they were able to park my car overnight for a reasonable price. I highly recommend Porta di Castro.

Our stay was nothing short of amazing. The helpful staff at the main entrance guided us to sites, restaurants, etc. The staff is friendly. The B&B is historic/chic/eclectic. I love the glass floors to see the beautiful Arabic archeologic findings below the hotel. The breakfast each morning was fabulous. So much food ... everything was delicious!!! Thank you all so much!

We loved this quirky B & B. The staff was so lovely and beyond helpful. The property was well maintained and so rich in history. We were able to secure a driver and tour guide, (thanks to Alessandro, the owner) to take us to a nearby village, where our paternal grandfather was born in 1905. We also walked to shopping, the seaport and other beautiful sights!

I will stay there again next time. Staff is incredibly helpful. The breakfast they prepare every morning is superb. I love the quirky styling of the place. And it's walking distance to so many sites if interest.

Staff were beyond helpful and friendly. The owner treated us like relatives, couldn't ask for more.

Very nice for first time in Palermo. Great staff, great location. I would go back.

Small quirky room with a lovely terrace. The bed was comfy, the bathroom clean and the breakfasts amazing!

This is a very different and interesting B&B. Renovated 600 year old church with many items preserved within the property. Our junior suite with balcony was perfect for us. Always nice to have a little extra room especially with the very hot weather to siesta in the afternoon. The property is in a neighborhood so there was street noise at all hours, it was very loud at times with fireworks around midnight and motor bikes constantly zooming up and down. But you certainly get a feel for day to day life in Palermo. The breakfast was very good, nice fresh fruit, wonderful pastries and unlimited cappuccino and espresso. Alessandro is an amazing host and even gifted us each a tile from this very beautiful structure. We would highly recommend if you want an authentic experience.

Very nice hotel ! Would go back anytime.

Hotel was wonderful. In the centre of everything, easy to walk to all the sites. Staff was very helpful and friendly

Lovely, very helpful hotel team. From the first step you feel welcomed. Great design. We chose the accommodation because of that and didn’t regret, well done. Shiny clean. Comfortable bed. Great location. About the noise from outside. Bearable and for someone used to it could be even silent:-) If you are from a quiet place can be annoying, but the windows are soundproof and air conditioning works well.

Great little B&B and the staff are excellent. A particular thank you to Roberta and Mansoor for thier kind welcome and hospitality. We hope to visit again soon.

Fantastic hotel.location is very good and hotel staff very helpful and cheerful.

Comfortable, attractively furnished, fabulous breakfast, great position, very friendly helpful staff

I stayed for a week to visit Palermo and the surrounding areas.

Nobody home on a Sunday afternoon. Phone did not answer. Got a neighbour to phone for the caretaker, nice bengali guy who spoke some english. Nobody around at check out. Otherwise ok.

cannot thank enough to Alessandro!

Beautiful hotel in Palermo. Close to all attractions. Very clean and modern. Love it!!! Since we got there in the morning, the owner welcomed us with coffee and pastries, it was very nice of him.
