First of all, great location almost bang in the center of the old city of Palermo -- close to train and bus stations and very convenient for the most important historic sites that visitors go to Palermo for. Second, it's highly unlikely that you'll find better value. Alberto is very accommodating, his English is good, he's helpful with local tips, and he has a great sense of humor! My room was very large. The common areas are somewhat smaller. That was an eclectic mix of other guests while I was there, which to me made it more interesting. Great visit.
