Staying at Chez Seb was a truly great experience. Not only was my en-suite room clean, and spacious (and with air conditioning that actually worked!), but Seb was an absolutely fabulous host. Travelling solo, it made a big difference having such a kind and generous host, who made me feel more like I was staying at his home rather than... More

I really can't rave enough about Chez Seb. From the moment we arrived, Sebastian (the manager of the hotel) could not be more helpful, friendly and accommodating. The bedrooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable: with air conditioning and ensuite bathrooms. The large breakfast area was a great place to talk to other guests and Sebastian. Although not a fan... More

The accommodations at Chez Seb are spacious and well appointed, with air conditioning, detached bathrooms and tastefully furnished. At first we were concerned that is so far from all the other tourist areas, but the metro and buses are only a block away and you can see everything in minutes. True it is a working man's neighborhood, and a little... More

Funky place in central neighbourhood, right behind Abasto shopping mall in a restored historic building; spacious rooms with high ceilings and modern bathrooms. Good location, a few blocks walking distance from the center. Several restaurants close by; we especially liked the italian place. Seb is a great host, very knowledgeable about the city and will give you all the information... More

Very nice small hotel located in Lavalle Avenue and behind the Abasto Shopping Mall . The building is an old house ,now it is being used as a small hotel.The new French owner Sebastien is very friendly. However there is a problem, the rooms in front side of the main road are very noisy. Also breakfeast is poor comparing the... More

Beautiful hotel with lovely rooms, good breakfast and nice staff. In quite a good location and about 30min walk from Palermo. Near a huge shopping centre and supermarket. Not on the safest of roads though - lots of cars being broken in to and glass on the street. As long as you are careful, the hotel is worth it!

We stayed at SOCO hotel for five days and really enjoyed it, mainly because the staff were so wonderful. Nothing was a problem for them and they helped in so many ways, such as organising taxis to the airport, making dinner reservations, doing laundry and arranging breakfast early before our departure. The room we had was a great size, and... More

If you want to be in the middle of everything, this is not the place. It is, however, close enough to a Metro station that it didn't matter as much. Warning, the neighborhood didn't look that bad but I later found out that walking around at night was probably not the best idea. Rooms are spacious and clean. Breakfast was... More

As one reviewer has said all ready, the neighborhood is gritty but the staff and charm of the hotel itself are fantastic. The place is clean, charming and homey. The staff goes out of its way to make you feel comfortable. They suggested an italian restaurant a few blocks from the hotel that was one of the best I have... More
