Hotel Federico II Central Palace

Family vacation for a wedding in Palermo. We booked 3 rooms 8 months in advance for 4 nights each. . All 3 rooms had problems with the AC. We asked for a technician to try and fix the AC. After 2 uncomfortable nights we were moved to other rooms that were a bit more comfortable. We still had to go buy stand up fans for each room to be able to dry hair, etc comfortably. The front desk people were nice but little they could do. Decent location. Simply an old hotel with very dark rooms, No room service, very small restaurant with ok food. Small bar. Would not recommend

A luxurious hotel with a good location but they have issues with air conditioning. Our bus tour group stayed here for a few nights and a number of rooms had no AC. It was so hot that most of the couples who had no AC barely slept at all. The beds are comfy but the rooms are very dark (dark decor and low lighting). With the price they charge, we were expecting better.

This hotel was booked for us by our tour company so we had no choice. The previous reviews were varied but people seemed to like the hotel. The hotel is reasonably central and most areas can be reached by foot with some nice bars in adjoining streets and shopping nearby. The hotel reception area is small but adequate with a nice greeting on our arrival. We were very pleased with with the decoration and quality of our room . The hotel is beautifully decorated throughout with very interesting artwork everywhere. The breakfast was typical continental with adequate choice with meal provided in the evening being very plentiful and tasty Sicilian style. The staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Some people are very quick to criticise the people but do remember we are in their country and don't bother to learn their language so why should they learn ours. There was one review I read saying that the fridge was not working, this is the mini bar supplied for keeping the hotels drinks not for our personal use.

Nice modern hotel with comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast regarding variety and quality of the offered foods. The area was quite calm with no annoying noises. Also very close to the city center. We were really very satisfied of our choice to select this hotel.

We had a great room with a balcony. We stayed there the 3 nights. Breakfast, which was included, was fantastic. The hotel is very well located yet not too close to the main tourist streets which are more noisy. Would go again if back Palermo.

Clean, kind & efficient service, nice location to explore the city
