Montecarlo Palace

A 2 minutes à pied de la gare et à 15 minutes du centre historique de Palerme. Chambre simple mais parfaite pourl le prix. Seul bémol: environnement bruyant car donnant sur la rue.

The room was clean but extremely small. The bed was comfortable. The 'free parking' was not always easy to find. Street parking on a very busy street. Breakfast is included, but at a little pastry shop across the street, very good though. A reasonably priced hotel if you really need to stay in the city.

We booked this hotel because of its proximity to the train station, and it was indeed very convenient. We should have read more closely - we were supposed to contact 24 hours in advance to work out check-in details. Despite this failure on our part, the gentlemen at the attached casino were very accommodating and ready for us, and checked us right in. The room was very clean and had some nice details, but was small even by European standards - I had to turn sideways to get past the bed into the bathroom, and sitting on the toilet my knees touched the vanity. There was also a bad smell that came when we turned on the bathroom fan, and the Wi-Fi was terrible. But the bed was comfortable, the location walkable to historic Palermo, and included breakfast was at Bacio Nero across the street, which was excellent. All in all, it was a decent place to stay (as long as we didn't turn on the fan).
