Albergo Cavour

A slightly quirky hotel, but top notch all the same. Breakfast is served in your room on a "hostess trolley", and arrived spot on the time I asked for it. Hotel is on fifth floor but has a lift, however just be aware some rooms are up another floor, via a narrow staircase. I was expecting a small pokey room, but instead it was a tardis with huge space, spotlessly clean (and serviced each day, no questions asked), clean comfy bed, excellent en suite shower/toilet room, good shutters on windows meant virtually no noise disturbance, giant TV & good WiFi connection. But most of all the lady owner/front of house was a gem, despite the language barrier always helpful, accomodating and let me leave my bags for a full day as I was leaving on an overnight train.

Very kind staff and the rooms are nice and clean

Close to everything. The "hotel" is on the 5th floor. You need to use an antique elevator, which runs great. Security in the "hotel" is great, need to buzz in to get into the building.

Stayed here for a night with a friend and it worked out very well for us as it was 5 minutes walk from Palermo Central Station and we had to leave at 6am to catch our train to the airport. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable enough and the bathroom was good size. They also provided towels and other toiletries.
