The Central Palace, or Hotel Centrale as taxi drivers call it, is perfectly located in Palermo's historical centre, few steps from the Quattro Canti (the focal point where Maqueda and Vittorio Emanuele intersect). The relatively modest facade does not reveal the stylish interior. While the hotel's interior with tall ceilings and decorations clearly reveal the building's genteel origins, some are... More

Right in the center of the city - nice location for walking everywhere in Palermo ,friendly staff, excellent breakfasts served in palatial rooms from another era with high ceilings and chandeliers. Parking handled by staff. Rooms adequate and surprisingly quiet for location on main street. Excellent meal in romantic rooftop restaurant - highly recommend having at least one meal there... More

Having had a slightly fraught drive into Palermo city centre, we eventually navigated our way to the hotel and stopped the car, I jumped out and dashed in to reception to tell them we were there and the car needed to be garaged in their garage. They queried that we had booked a space and seemed quite surprised to find... More

We stayed at the Central Palace for two nights with no breakfast included. The people at the reception just didn't care about us with the exception of the car valet who was very nice and always smiling (His name was Maurizio). The room was okay but the air conditioning didn't work and nothing was done for the two days we... More

We stayed at the Centrale Palace in April. The hotel is in a great area with many of the city's attractions within relatively easy walking distance. It is a block from the "4-corners" area. It is down the street from one of the most beautiful chapels I have ever seen in the Norman Palatine. It is a hidden gem and... More

We stayed 3 nights in this hotel and 4 other nights in another one in Palermo. The building is nice and the room we got was made new. The breakfast was very good, like many other reviews say. However, the people at the reception were unfriendly and not very helpful, which made the experience less enjoyable.

I agree with bobk76's review. This could possibly be the best choice of hotel in the downtown Palermo area. So much more could make this a terrific place. The bones are good; it just needs to be dressed up a bit. Breakfast is excellent, one of the best I've come across. The bar is comfortable and inviting. The dining room... More

This hotel, which was a former palace built in 171, is in need of re-furbishment of many of its rooms. The hotel has both renovatedd and unrenovated rooms. Our 4th floor room, #410, had not been re-modeled. We had problems with out room safe when we first checked in. It took several hours for the safe to be fixed. Our... More

Very easy for everything based in Palermo. Restaurant is very nice, but you have to be smart! The top bar is perfect for a drink in the evening on the roof. Rooms are clean, even if the place is a bit of a rabbit warren, Shame the wi-fi only works in the downstairs and not your room. Breakfast was excellent.... More

Very much enjoyed a recent stay at the Centrale Palace. The hotel has a certain grandeur and elegance, but is probably a little past its prime. It is however a pleasant place to stay. Staff are friendly and helpful without being cloying. Rooms are well-priced, comfortable and the standard of cleanliness is good. There is an excellent choice at breakfast... More
