      it is a great hotel in a shabby neighbourhood. Overall impressions are very good. A few suggestions: install a magnifying mirror in the bathroom for good shaving; explain what a complex apparatus on the wall does (many switches).

      Hotel is only a few minutes walk from the train station, very convenient to many sights in Palermo. Front desk staff was very nice. Room was cleaned very well each day. Would highly recommend as a great value hotel.

      "My Winter Stay" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Dec 20, 2012

      If you're going to stay during the winter, bring warm bed room clothes. It's a reasonable distance from the Airport, but bring a GPS or a detailed map to get there. Also, on the only road in, there are MOUNDS of trash that blocked the road to the hotel. They were there for at least a month. And that trash covered the beach while I was there.

      "Close to the airport" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Dec 3, 2012

      The hotel is clean and newly decorated. The staff are friendly. It is a good choice for a night's stay before catching an early flight the next morning. The neighborhood is not very impressive, we drove around as it took us a while to find the place. We didn't see restaurants or shops. Feels like the hotel is located in the middle of a residential area, with not much going on in the evening. But again we picked this hotel for it's closeness the the airport, so it suited us very well.

      "Location ,Location ,Location & Noise" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Dec 1, 2012

      Our first time in Palermo and adored the city! Low key and casual the hotel was near the maritime gates of the city & surrounding baroque neighborhood.Hotel room was large with great bathroom and closets,tho not a lot of bath products and no robes... internet access a real problem free for half an hour and changing access codes really problem for us to stay in touch with business at home!! Restaurants easy to get to.Hotel staff superb, especially the front desk friendly and knowledgeable.The only downside was the street noise and since we had a large terraced room at front of hotel noise was deafening! The adjacent street(open air) was a nightly "block party"dj's,crowds of young folks, bars and pizzerias open til 2AM...sooo we joined them, fun but late nights took their toll!! Copious buffet breakfast a bit crowded even in off season(Nov)...we'll be back

    The hotel reminded me of a Grand Old Lady whose elegant clothing was starting to get a little threadbare. The hotel showed evidence of storied greatness... but it needed new carpeting and interior painting to bring it up to its full potential. The hotel was very clean and I would recommend staying there to anyone going to Palermo. It is very close to Teatro Massimo by JJR  from Moorpark, CA, USA on 04/28/13

    Grand Hotel Et Des Palmes Palermo

    A short guide to Palermo

    Sicily’s capital stands on a curved bay at the foot of Monte Pellegrino. It’s a chaotic, ebullient place with masses to see. Puppet theatre, street markets and marzipan fruits are typical Palermo treats. Get your bearings at a major intersection, the Quattro Canti. Don’t miss the superb mosaics in the Cappella Palatina, or Serpotta’s stuccowork in the city churches. The mummified corpses in the Capuchin catacombs are the stuff of nightmares.

    Room was fine, breakfast very good. I do believe It is very hard to understand why they hotel would charge for internet, when every cafe around the hotel will give you a password and you can use theirs free. I think this is very arrogant on the owners part. We spent almost 3 weeks in Sicily and everyhotel except this one had free internet, make no sense. […] We stayed 5 nights at this hotel, again you would think they would offer a day or so of free wi/fi. Carpeting in the halls badly needed, overall , fine. Read more

    150 years of being, perhaps, the best hotel in Palermo is showing its toll in some ways, but it is a wonderful place to stay--where else would you get "bubbly" for breakfast? The location was near enough to the old town to walk, as well as to the sea. Buses stop in front. Tons of restaurants around. We would stay there again.

    We read other reviews & were afraid we wouldn't like it. Have no fear, this place is great! Yes, all carpets in the hallway are torn, smell bad, & stained. BUT room interior is totally refreshed. We had 2 rooms on different floors & they were clean and pleasant for our stay of 5 nights. I purchased a standard w/2 twins & a deluxe with a queen via Expedia […] and all of us enjoyed the spacious rooms. There was no problem at checkin nor at breakfast. The staff at the desk & housekeeping are very helpful. Marcello at the desk is the best! He is always smiling & gives 110% and that is important. Also, it's best to get to breakfast before 9:30am. They start picking up the buffet at that time, but will still get you the items you want until the advertised 10:30am closing. You just have to ask. Read more

    The hotel needs a complete revamp. The walls and carpet is filthy. The TV's are old and small. The staff at the front desk seems consistently confused. The building is very pretty though. The laundry service was a compete rip-off and way way overpriced.

    The Grand Hotel was exactly that. It is now over a hundred years old, and showing its age. However, the rooms are large, the hotel is well-placed and service is good. Breakfast is superb. The antiquities in western Sicily are worth the trip.

    This truly is/was a grand hotel. Large, spacious, elegant design. A fun place to have stayed. Staff a little distant, but OK. Located a bit north of the main attractions, but easy enough to walk. We used the buses a bit, but neither hotel nor tobacco shops or one information office had a map of the bus system, which discouraged bus use.

    One of the grand hotels of Europe this hotel features a great location in Palermo, nice rooms, and generally excellent staff. There are some rough edges such as charging more for internet a third person than advertised and the inherant challenges of maintaining such a large and grand hotel in a modern age. But the value is good, the hotel is historic, […] and the location is hard to beat. Read more

The room was referred to as delux. The bathroom was so small you had difficulty getting in and out. The entire hotel smelt of cigarette smoke. Read more

    In general this is an excellent hotel. The staff on reception were very good and friendly. The rooms are pleasingly furnished, with good a/c and their upkeep was really very good indeed; lots of chambermaids kept the rooms - and the public areas - very clean and tidy. TV choices were fine (BBC/Sky and CNN news but it would have been nice to be able […] to watch a film in English rather than all dubbed into Italian). A few small gripes; the breakfast buffet was excellent BUT the staff were slow to notice new guests arriving and coffee often took fifteen minutes to arrive. Most of the staff in the breakfast room (an elegant space) were friendly but one waiter was sour and humorless (day after day); a touch of gloom to start each day really isn't what you want on holiday! A number of people have mentioned the awful orange juice. They are right. In Sicily (of all places) there ought to be good quality juice available for breakfast but here they have some hideous overly sweetened artificial stuff that really lets the place down. For the first three days I took a fresh orange or two and squeezed them into a glass (but mysteriously these disappeared after that time!). It was possible to ask for (watered down) orange juice but for a hotel of this calibre, fresh (or even decent carton) oj simply SHOULD be on offer. The shrieking 'music' in the breakfast room should also be reconsidered. But overall, I had a fantastic stay here; free WIFI? Read more

    This is an old world hotel but the hotel was in better condition than some reviews have indicated. I had a very large room, much larger than most Europen hotels provide especially for a single traveller, with a large bathroom and lovely high ceilings. My only minor complaints were that the room had no view - it looked straight into the top of the ballroom's […] glass ceiling. While the glass ceiling was very nice from inside the ballroom it wasn't very nice from the outside. My other complaint is that the carpet in the bedroom was very worn and grubby. A slight letdown given how nicely the room was decorated in general. Unlikely to ever visit Palermo again, some nice sights but on the whole a grubby and rather rundown city, but if I did would have no hesitation about staying here again. Read more

    Hotel reception was excelent. Staff in the breakfast room was not good. always running out of food, as they are not observent, our room was clean but dark. looked directly onto a bick wall. The area was perfect. If they gave it a little face lift it would help. wi fi is also to expensive in a 4 star hotel
