Ballarooms Experience

I want to start by saying that the hosts are absolutely some of the kindest people I have met in Palermo. They were incredibly helpful, attentive, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making our stay enjoyable. It may have been my own oversight for not paying closer attention to the lack of an elevator and the type of accommodation this is. The rooms themselves were very clean, tastefully decorated, and offered excellent value for the price. However, our room was one of only a handful located within an older building that appeared to be a converted apartment rather than a traditional hotel. The location was convenient for exploring Palermo, but as a woman travelling with a young boy, I sometimes felt a little uncomfortable returning late at night due to the dark, narrow side streets in the immediate area. That said, this may simply have been because we were unfamiliar with the neighbourhood. Overall, if you are younger, travelling on a budget, and looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay, I would definitely recommend it. The rooms are well maintained, the value is excellent, and the hosts are truly exceptional.

My husband and I had a great experience at this rental. It’s more like a B&B with a host. Our hostess was very communicative and helpful and prepared an amazing breakfast at the other Ballarooms property (less than 5 minutes away). It was great having A/C to combat the heat. Our room was spacious, with lots of room to spread out, and the bathroom was clean and functional.

Cute room, comfortable bed, great location.

Staff were very friendly and organised a delicious takeaway breakfast for us as we had an early train to take. The room was lovely and very clean. Location was great, near the station, Ballaro market and the main restaurant area in the historic area
