Ostello Vucciria

Valentina at reception, along with Alex, were always friendly and helpful. Martina and Francesca (housekeeping) were also nice and communicative. The central location to bars, restaurants, shopping, supermarket, barber, port and all Palermo city sights was amazing.

The loud noise from the street music took a night or two to get used to, but then it was fine and just added to the fun atmosphere.

The room was super clean and comfortable, shower excelent.

A lot do stairs.

Very central location, right in the popular bar/restaurant street, easy to walk everywhere and catch the bus to airport; Very friendly staff, Valentina was an absolute darling, very sweet and helpful! Kitchen and common area is very well maintained and fully equipped; Room was big and comfortable, plenty of space to put your stuff. Will definitely come back again!

Shower room is very difficult to use, no place to hang your clothes and not get wet.

Pros: near a bus stop for route 101, which comes frequently, as well as the airport bus. Valentina was very nice and could be reached over WhatsApp. There is a fridge and a microwave, and they will hold you things after checkout if you need.

Cons: unless you have no sound sensitivity, I would not recommend staying here. The music outside is unbelievably loud and goes until 4am sometimes. The air conditioning also did nothing to cool the room at all, but if you open the windows the noise is even louder. I slept with only the sheet on me and was still hot, and it was only early June. The bathroom floors also get really gross because water from the shower areas is not contained, people walk on the wet floor with their shoes so you have dirt and hair caking on the bathroom floors. There was also a large group staying long term while I was there and their things were completely covering the bathroom counters and even filling the sinks sometimes. The room was all girls while I was there, but I don’t see how it would work as a mixed gender room since the shower dividers don’t provide great privacy.
