I had a nice stay overall, enjoying the excellent location and friendly service, but I faced some issues with the room layout and breakfast quality. The staff were truly attentive, which added a positive touch to my experience. I appreciated the hotel's artistic ambiance and secure parking, but the outdated accommodations were a letdown.

Rooms

5.0

My room was a bit strangely laid out, featuring a narrow hallway and an outdated design. Despite being clean, it felt like it needed a refresh and wasn't really up to what I'd expect from a four-star hotel.

Service

7.0

The staff were friendly and accommodating. They helped with restaurant suggestions and transportation, making me feel welcomed. However, there was an incident where the staff just opened my room door without knocking, which was a bit unsettling.

Location

8.0

The location is excellent, nestled in a neighborhood that allows easy access to various restaurants. However, it required a solid 10-minute walk to reach the main attractions, which could be a minor drawback for some.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast could use improvement; some items were cold or replaced slowly, and the variety felt limited. I was hoping for a better spread, given the hotel's standing. However, the dining area itself was pleasant to be in.

Facilities

7.0

The communal areas were really nice and well-maintained, providing a cozy spot to relax. I also appreciated the secure parking that made my stay even more convenient. Still, some amenities felt basic for a hotel of this caliber.

I had a good stay at Hotel Principe Di Villafranca. While my room was a bit smaller than expected, it was well-appointed, clean, and the comfortable mattress made for good nights’ sleep. The breakfast was lavish, featuring many homemade goodies, though I found some aspects to be somewhat basic. One of my favorite parts was enjoying cocktail hour in the beautifully designed common area before heading out to explore the vibrant neighborhood.

Hotel Principe Di Villafranca had its ups and downs during my stay. The location was great for exploring Palermo, but the service and dining left a lot to be desired. My room was comfortable and clean, but overall, the hotel felt a bit outdated, which didn't quite match its four-star rating.

Rooms

My room was spacious and cozy, though it lacked natural light and had a tiny bathroom. I appreciated the cleanliness, but it felt more like a 3-star experience than a 4-star one.

Service

5.0

While some staff were genuinely helpful and polite, I encountered a few instances of poor training. For example, supplies for coffee and tea had to be requested often, and even then, the staff seemed a bit grumpy about it.

The hotel is located in a pretty quiet neighborhood, yet it's still super close to all the main attractions in Palermo. Walking to restaurants and sites was a breeze, which I really loved.
