CENTRAL STATION APARTMENTS - Fanale Rentals

Great location for proximity to Palermo old town. The accommodation is really modern , clean and well furnished. Parking available inside the property which is a big plus.

Nothing.

Easy access. Everything you need for a few days. We ate in some days and out in the city other days with easy access to the center.

This apartment is in a perfect location near center. The train and bus station are literally 200 yards away. The apartment Manager Gacamo was very kind and assisted me with all my needs. He showed me the very clean and spacious apartment how to use all entrance codes. This apartment is a corner unit with a balcony and is located on the 5th floor. This building has two elevators to get to your floor with your luggage. The kitchen has all amenities stove, refrigerator, coffee and tea machines. The bathroom had plenty of towels and if you forgot your shampoo or soap, the manager did provide small samples. The washing machine works. The bed was large and comfortable with 4 pillows. Extra pillows are in cabinets. There are two tv's in the apartment. If you need any items quickly there is a store right outside the building to your right. A grocery store is less than 1/2 mile away. So many restaurants in the area. I would definitely stay again when I travel back to Palermo! This is a great location!

No complaints.

The apartament is big, it has a coffee machine, a balcony with a nice view over a neighborhood in Palermo and it's pretty close to Palermo's historical center. We also had a private parking nearby, with 10euros a day and we advice you not to leave your car on streets in Sicily because it will definitely be robbed or stolen. The block of flats is newly built and this was nice as well.

The apartament could have been a bit more cleaner. It was a bit dusty, especially the floors and the bathroom (sink, shower), mirror in the hall could have been much more cleaner. The apartment is also a bit rusty - the shower cabin seems old and heavily used and it floods whenever you take a shower. Same goes for the sink, the drain did not work well and it was flooded everytime. We did not have liquid soap at all, we have to buy it ourselves, same for toilet paper (we had a few rolls, I think 2-3 for a 4 nights stay - 2 persons). We know it's not a hotel and we did not expect to have shower gels or shampoos, but at least if they have a liquid soap dispenser - I would expect it not being empty. The furniture is a bit old, vintage like, I know this probably was probably the owner's desired look and feel for the apartment. However, especially for the closet, it smells old, the drawers do not open easily etc. What bothered us the most, I think, was that the checkout was at 10AM and we had a late in the evening flight back home, outside being extremely hot (38-40 degrees Celsius). We did not even ask for them to let us stay longer in the apartament, but because Palermo is very famous for theft and robbery, we kindly asked them if we could leave the luggage there instead until later in the afternoon. Their response was yes, but they had to charge us 30euros just for leaving the luggage in the empty apartament until 2PM and we did not think it being necessary. Eventually, we only payed 27euros instead of the 30, because the host reminded us that we also have to pay the city tax, in cash and did not accept any other form of payment (Revolut, bank transfer) for the city tax and luggage host tax and we were out of cash - so thanks for agreeing for us to pay 3euros less :).
