We enjoyed our single night stay here at the Palermitano. We choose this hotel ofr its location to the Glu Hotel in the Palermo SOHO district as our friends were staying there and we stayed there earlier in the week. The hotel was very clean with a modern Asian inspiration for decor. The rooms are a little on the small side. The staff is friendly enough (although the person checking us in was not so much). We enjoyed the breakfast and the made to order eggs in their own skillet. Nice touch. The rooms were also very quiet given the noise on the street.
Mainly stayed here for the location which is excellent walking to many wonderful restaurants, bars, shopping, markets, etc. Would stay here again,

I stayed at the Palermitano for a second time this last week. Four years ago, when I stayed for three nights, I loved the place. While it's true that the bed and the shower are in wonderful conditions, that the rooms are relatively spacious and that the location is unbeatable for Palermo SoHo (and BA in general), the WiFi was bad. At times, there was no WiFi at all. The staff tried to be attentive and help by calling the technicians but this didn't solve the problem at all. During my 7 night stay, the WiFi was very poor.

In addition, the AC, which was needed didn't work properly. The staff, always very nice, moved me to a new room, but the AC still didn't work. At some point, they just ignored my complaints. I opened the window and it was way cooler outside than in the room.

Perhaps these seem like minor complaints but when you're not staying at a hostel, you expect good WiFi and a functioning AC.

Everything else was fine. The administration's incapacity to solve the issues pertaining to the WiFi and the AC makes me think that it will be difficult to recommend this hotel... It's a real pity, because the location is on spot and the place is a very lovely boutique hotel. Hopefully I just happened to have a bad experience.

Some places impress you with the building entrance or the lobby, but the room disappoints. Just the opposite here. Will say that at least one of the rooms is just adequate, but the majority are terrific. I look for a good shower and bed, and the Palermitano nails it on both counts. Breakfast is pretty much the same every day, but the quality is quite high.
