We stayed in the Federico II for one week (end of December 2011). Enjoyed Palermo and was also related to the good location of the hotel. All major attractions are within walking distance. The hotel offered us a very spacious room and the breakfast had enough varieties to keep us satisfied for one week. The hotel has no parking space... More

It´s surely a 4 star hotel in a very good part of Palermo. A crossing of important avenues, with plenty of shops and bars, and bus stops. No budget restaurant around, unfortunately, even during high season. 3 minutes walk from Politeama, with a nice surround even during the evening. 25 minutes walking from train station. Bus from and to Punta... More

Just recently returned from Hotel Fed and I can comfortably say it is a terrible hotel. When we arrived, 2 dbl rooms: one room with a broken shower and the other with faulty air conditioning. The price was high, 150Euro/rm, considering the shape of the hotel. I WOULD AVOID THIS HOTEL LIKE THE PLAGUE! More

Hotel Federico II is located on a small side street near the shopping center of Palermo. I had booked a hotel off the main street because of the reviews suggesting the main streets were very noisy at night. Unfortunately, there is a club "Club American" across the street that had music blaring all night and it was almost impossible to... More

Great location, excellent accomodations, friendly staff! Special thanks to the manager Marissa who helped us to get our lost bag from the airline. She did her best to make our stay comfortable. More

This hotel was well located for sightseeing. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable and the bathroom good. The breakfast was as good as or maybe slightly better than any of the other 3 hotels we stayed in in Sicily. We did not eat in the hotel because we prefer to eat out to make the... More

This Hotel was extremely expensive for such appalling service. The room was beautiful but it was like the "Marie Celeste" when it came to find anyone to help or serve you. On check out the receptionist couldn't have been ruder. No information in the room about the facilities and nothing from reception staff at check in. 270 Euros a night... More

We chose the hotel after reading the tripadvisor reviews but hadn't reckoned on the extremely hard beds which kept us awake and achey all night and exhausted the next day. When we checked out after the first night, they charged us for two because we'd booked for five nights. On reflection, we wish we'd argued more as when we asked... More
