This excellent budget hotel is located only a few hundred metres from the main railway station in Palermo. Although on a main street it was surprisingly peaceful and quiet. Forming half of the first...

I had wrong expectations

corkoran, Rimini, Italy — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 11:44:04 GMT

TripAdvisor traveller rating: 2 of 5 stars

I've read about "decadent charme". I found no charme, just decadence. The hotel is located inside a building full of value, which would deserve more maintenance and care. We asked for a silent...

Terrific budget option with LOTS of character

TripAdvisor traveller rating: 4 of 5 stars

This hotel, close to the train station, is housed formerly grand palazzo with a huge sweeping marble staircase and a beautiful courtyard. This is most definitely not a luxurious experience - the rooms...

The inexplicably-named Hotel Orientale is located just a 2 minute walk from the central train and bus station at Palermo, and near to a lot of the main tourist attractions (churches etc) that Palermo...

We were attracted by all the decoration in this hotel. Very quite, big room, clean bathroom, that are all what we needed. Location is quite good and easy access to the main road. But there is no...

TripAdvisor traveller rating: 3 of 5 stars

We stayed for one night at the Orientale, based mainly on the convenient location for the station and good price for a quick stay. The hotel is very affordable and its faded grandeur is very pretty,...

TripAdvisor traveller rating: 2 of 5 stars

This was a bitter disappointment. we booked on the strength of Trip Advisor reviews and wish we hadn't. Although clean, the hotel is best summed up with just two words - dismal and depressing. We...
