Palco Rooms&Suites

This property is located just a minute away from the famous Teatro Massimo and the lively pedestrian street Via Maqueda. It could be argued that this hotel's location is unrivaled since you are walking distance from the majority of the sights, shops, and restaurants in the historic center. The room was very modern, clean, spacious and comfortable. I even had a balcony which overlooked the streets, perfect for people watching or just soaking in the Sicilian nightlife from above. The air conditioning and internet worked perfectly, the bathroom was spotless and well appointed. Stefania who works the front desk was very communicative, helpful and nice. Palco Room and Suites definitely provided excellent service, nice amenities and easy access to Palermo's beautiful historic district at a great price. I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again if I return to Palermo.

Palco in Palermo started with a surprise--an unmarked entry behind a huge wooden door. Our initial apprehension became delight when we stepped inside to a lovely inner courtyard and then arrived upstairs at the reception. Stefania at the desk couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. The room was modern and artful, very comfortable and clean. Great breakfast in the pretty dining room with a terrific view of the Teatro Massima, just across the street. Travelers should know the property is a cross between a hotel and an AirBnB--very nice service but not 24/7. Highly recommended.

From the ideal location (right next to the historic district but not in it) to the quality and size of the room (and a very comfortable bed) to the extremely helpful and friendly host to the perfect breakfast, this is the place to stay in Palermo. What a combination of everything one could hope for in a hotel in one of the world's great cities. This should be at the very top of anyone's choice for where to stay in Palermo. P.S. And as others have said, they have done an excellent job of soundproofing the rooms -- you get the joy of being across from the Teatro Masimo (a must see) but being able to sleep at night.

A lovely modern B&B with great design personality. Very personable hosts with rooms located on two different floors of an older building adjacent to Teatro Massimo. You enter through a massive wooden door across an old lobby area where there is an elevator that takes you up a couple of levels. You then have to go either up or down a short staircase to reach your room. We were in Etoile in the Palco Noir section which was a beautiful room equipped with a large jacuzzi tub/shower and led rainbow lights in the ceiling. Very pretty. Excellent air conditioning. Extremely comfortable bed and surprisingly very quiet due to soundproof windows. We were able to open the windows for a little fresh air on occasion. The breakfast was very nice served in a lovely, bright room overlooking Teatro Massimo. Excellent housekeeping every day and the location can't be beat - a short walk to the historic district without being in the middle of it and a short walk to Politeama.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Palco Room & Suites. It’s a hidden gem behind a wooden door at the street with a quick elevator ride to first floor. The room was very clean and spacious with all white decor and pretty colorful artwork on walls. The balcony overlooked Teatro Mossimo and had soundproof doors. The breakfast was fresh each morning and the staff friendly and helpful. We highly recommend staying here.

Spectacular all around. Great staff, fabulous location. Comfortable bed and great hot water. Can't go wrong staying here. They booked us an outstanding tour guide and helped immensely with train travel scheduling.

We really enjoyed our stay. Our room was absolutely beautiful, immaculate and the bed was very comfortable. We were surprised by its spacious. The location was perfect, a bit noisy from the lively streets, but we didn’t have any issues with it. The staff at the hotel were great and easy to get in touch with when no one was on the premises. A very nice breakfast was offered in a lovely sunny breakfast room with views of the opera house.

This was our first visit to Palermo and after doing some research we decided on the Palco Rooms and Suites. It was a great decision. Upon arrival, the front of the building gives an impression of "is there a B&B here...there must be a mistake." But behind the wooden front door is a marble vestibule-like area and an elevator to take you to the second floor. Any concerns are quickly alleviated. Our room was reasonably spacious, a very clean contemporary decor, and a spacious bath. The staff & owner (both named Stefania) are very professional and take their jobs very seriously. Solid wifi, the breakfast room is very nice. The location of the B&B is perfect. Virtually a step away from the Teatro Massimo and right at the spot that separates "old-town" Palermo (as I call it) an the more chic shopping area. Bars and restaurants are footsteps away...there a literally everywhere. Overall a great place to stay, strategically located in the heart of Palermo.
