Albergo Cavour

Accueil très sympa d'avoir sces petit hotel ( quelques chambres a peine me semble t il) par les propriétaires (qui vivent également sur place). Chambres grandes et très bien tenues, la literie est toutefois un peu dure à mon goût. Par ailleurs le bruit de la rue empêché de dormir la fenêtre ouverte en été (pas de clim) . Le wi fi fonctionne parfaitement. L'hôtel est idéalement situé pratiquement en face de la gare de Palermo centrale et à quelques minutes seulement du cours Victor Emmanuel II.

Not a bad room. Location was close to the train station which was good, but the hotel is on the 5th floor. Elevator took us to the lobby but we still had to navigate a very narrow stairway with our luggage. We managed. It was just for one night.

A pleasant and welcoming B&B that's as close to the train station as you can get. Our room was generously sized and was very clean. Breakfast was delivered after submitting an order the night before, which was an interesting twist after the recent continental breakfasts we had been having till then. The host is lovely and kind. The area around the station is a bit scuzzy so do make sure you're aware of the directions and surroundings. The stairs to our room were *very* narrow so definitely make sure you're not bringing heavy or bulky luggage. The shower cubicle is small, but this is Europe!

We had a great stay in this family-run hotel. The service is excellent and you get very helpful tips. Usually areas close to stations are neither the cleanest nor the safest, but it is different here. Ideally located at the central station, at the entrance to the historic centre and also close to the old harbour. Breakfast is brought to the room, coffee and various types of croissants were of good quality, as you would expect in Italy. I can only recommend this friendly place.

How lovely to be in a small, family-run business and not a chain. I really felt that I was in Sicily and getting glimpses of family life. It is so near to Palermo Centrale station that as a couple that don't fly but travel everywhere from England by train it was the perfect find. Although on the fifth floor there is an ancient lift that transports one to reception and a smiling Maria who, no matter what time of day or night, seems there to check one in. We'd asked for a quiet room and that's exactly what we got with a glimpse of the sea. It was huge with comfortable bed, desk, chairs and wardrobe. The bathroom was spacious too with large shower space and hot, hot water. The whole B&B is absolutely spotless and, if one pops back, at any time one sees the family working so hard to make ones stay perfect. Breakfast of cornetti and coffee was delivered to our room at a time we specified. If one turns left out of the front door and left again on the main street one can walk down to the Botanical Gardens and the sea. Turn right on the main road and right again a little further up than opposite the station and one is in a fantastic street market and then further on into the old town. We ate both nights at 'Trattoria Trapani' near the station and had very good meals. It only opens from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. and the owner is charming. I would thoroughly recommend staying at Albergo Cavour for a slice of Sicilian hospitality.

The hotel is in a good position: less than a minute away from Central station and a few minutes from the city centre. Large and clean room with sea view. Some problem with water and shower. Free but not fast wi-fi. Simple but tasty breakfast. Very cheap price!

Room and public bath very very clean! Easy to find and very near to train station. Its good for an overnight stay

The hotel is very close to the train station. I chose it as I arrive Palermo late at night and wanted to find somewhere that is easy to find. No complaint about the hotel except the price for the room is quite high compared to other hotels..

This was a great stay! The Cavour is just one minute from the train station and so not only well-placed for public transport, but within walking distance of most of the sights of Palermo. The room was spotlessly clean (and serviced every day), which I greatly appreciated. The bathroom was fine, with a clean and powerful overhead shower. I paid extra for the breakfast, which was very good value. The family are really friendly and welcoming, without crowding you, and there was no problem with communication. I definitely recommend it!
