Palco Rooms&Suites

We loved this place! Centrally located, comfortable, around the corner from Teatro Massimo, with a great view of the theatre from the breakfast room. Nicely renovated, comfortable older building. Nice breakfast for €20 per person. Very nice, helpful staff.

I spent over 4 hours researching Palermo hotels for what would be our last hotel on our two week European honeymoon. I am so glad I found Hotel Palco. I did note in my booking that we are honeymooning and we got the massive Romeo & Juliet suite. They created a cute display for us which was appreciated. The room was huge, clean, and so comfortable. There are two big balconies that open up onto the theater square. Air conditioning worked great too. It faced directly the Teatro Massimo, and despite the area being pretty rowdy until 2 am, I barely heard anything (with ear plugs). The balcony doors are duplicated and very thick (see picture), and the walls definitely have sound proofing. The tub and shower were perhaps the biggest I had ever seen (see picture) in a European hotel. The tub has jets and lights up too. The staff were very fantastic. I must note that on the morning traveling by train to Palermo I (think) I sprained my foot! Whatever it was, it was bad and I could barely walk. So when I showed up to Palco i needed some way to find crutches or a boot. Stefania was very diligent in helping me find medical care, but we couldnt find anything near by, and just when we were about to call an ambulance to go to a hospital just to get crutches ( Palermo...) they found an ortho supply shop right around the corner and I got crutches and a boot and my trip was saved! Shout out to Giacomo for being so friendly as well and giving me the ice packs at night time! Lastly, breakfast was small (its like a 4 or 5 room hotel), but just perfect for us. Very good quality of the selections. This hotel is an absolute steal in value and I highly recommend it.

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.
