Liberty Palace

This was a great place to stay. The bedroom and bathroom were large, and very clean. It was also very safe, with numerous locks required to get into the block, the apartment and then the room. It was about three minutes walk to the train station and the nearest taxi rank. We had good communication from Emanuela in the week before we visited and when we landed at the airport she provided clear instructions for how to find the place. She was waiting for us when we arrived and was helpful at explaining how to find our way around the city. This is not a traditional hotel, but more like a pension. Liberty Palace is in a private apartment block on the fourth floor and consists of six rooms within a converted apartment. The front desk was staffed for a couple of hours a day. We were there over new year and it was very noisy with people letting off bangers outside that were so loud they set off car alarms nearby. However, we appreciate that this is not the norm. It was reasonably noisy the rest of the week as well, but only to be expected with a location so close to a main road and the train station. If you need somewhere safe, comfortable and clean to stay, and are not expecting a 24/7 reception then this is a really good, friendly place to stay.

Surrounding area was a bit noisy at times but it is only a block or two from the train & bus station so expected. The convenience to the train station and tourist sites more than made up for this however.

This is a boutique very small hotel located very close to the main train station in an area that is dirty and run down and a little daunting if arriving at night. The hotel and staff are very good. Access to all main sights in Palermo is easy.

The room was impeccably clean and very comfortable. All the staff we met were lovely, friendly and helpful with some good tips on where to get a good coffee and breakfast (Cafe Tourino across the road). Easy walk to the markets and the main street, a slightly longer but pleasant walk down to the harbour. The location means there is street noise but we didn’t find it an issue. Lovely stay for a few days in Palermo.
