Ballarò Hotel

this is a great hotel in the best location in the city with a lot of restaurants the staff is great location is safe and very close to main train station take the train from the airport very easy to use instead of paying 55-80euro to get into city...driving can take 55min with train can be less..the only downside to this hotel is you will not sleep in because there is a main yelling in the morning starting at 8am and it seems like it last all days..maybe some type tourism attraction nearby besides that everything is great

Loved the staff, very accommodating and helpful.

Ballarò Hotel is a modest and budget hotel in a historical building. Nothing fancy but very very clean and extremely convenient. If you have organized excursions, the pick-up point is at Palermo Central Train Station. (4 minutes away) Install the app Spiaggia.it to reserve a beach bed and parasol online. TrenItalia ( train in Italie) can bring you at Capaci Station for Lido Serenity’s beach. Visit the all Palermo with the train or buses. I love the hotel for the convenience and tidiness. Mondello beach is the bus 101 and 806 from Central Palermo station ( 4 minutes from Ballarò Hotel) walk the all downtown for museums and Cathedrals. Faster than buses in traffic.

If you want fine decorations and first class service then look elsewhere. If you want to stay in a historic palace whose grandeur still surprises you in the faded fresco ceilings and grand staircases, is located enviably close to Centrale Station, is right atop the famous Ballaro Market with is sights, smells, and sounds, is walkable to Palermo’s historic area, the Cathedral and the Theatre then this might just be for you. The rooms appear to take up two floors on one wing of the palace and entrance is from a quiet part of Via Maqueda. It’s easy to miss the entrance but contact with the hotel was excellent. Room was basic. But it was clean, the air conditioning was good and the facilities adequate. Breakfast was basic but again adequate and don’t miss the ceiling in the breakfast room! For the price paid, I would absolutely recommend and would use again if we come to Palermo again… which we certainly would love to do.
