CENTRAL STATION APARTMENTS - Fanale Rentals

Super nice, cozy and clean! It was very clean, even a bit too clean! Wonderful experience, did not run into any problems during our stay. It's very close to the town square and in walking distance. The chairs could be better but except for that , everything was wonderful. Excellent location, 100% recommend. 😀

A little noisy outside the room in the hallways but it's alright!

Check-in was super straightforward!

So near the station when travelling by train and easy to Access with great views on the balcony

There was nothing to dislike about the property. It was all lovely.

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 :).
