The two good things first: The location is superb: quiet but central and just a few minutes away from bus stops at Politeama (airport bus, sightseeing bus, public busses) and restaurants (see also there). The reception's staff was very friendly and helpful. However, quite a few annoying items made our stay somewhat unenjoyable: The standard double room was very small... More

The hotel is excellent, staff very helpful and have no complaints about the hotel. But the area and Palermo are disgustingly dirty. We have never seen such an unkept city, dereliction and huge piles of refuge.don't turn towards the port its full of tramps, lucky lucky men and dog crap etc. Going to the main shopping street is ok but...

My wife and I had a terrible experience at this hotel and the manager, Ivano Ferazzoli, added insult to injury...literally. The desk clerk was very helpful and our first night was uneventful. Upon getting out of bed the next morning, my wife struck her head on the corner of the opened steel window which swings into the room very near... More

Dear Guest, As it often happens in life, there is another side to every story, including the facts related in your unfunded and libelous review. On the first morning of your stay, your wife allegedly struck her head on the window, which does not in fact open as close as you describe to the bed head, and that has a... More

We stayed for one night. Upon arrival the front desk provided a map and highlighted all the places that I said I would like to visit. They even explained which bus lines could take me to my destinations. We flew into the Palermo airport and then took a bus to the Politeama square. It was a short walk from there... More

I certainly recommend this hotel. The room was clean, nice, good bathroom. It was quiet. The breakfast is nice although it's all a matter of timing because it can be hectic at times, but the gentleman who runs it does a nice job. The two women who were at the desk during my stay were quite helpful and friendly with... More

This is in a great location, just two minutes walk from Politeama in the heart of Palermo and walking distance to all the major attractions.

Nice hotel, rooms small (standard) but enough for few nights. Hotel is in quiet street but very close to to Politeatro, central location. Lots of bars for the night in the vicinity. Breakfast was nice with fresh fruits. They let us park right in front of hotel which was very convenient. Might be little overpriced. Overall good experience

We spent a fabulous 4 nights at the Plaza Opera in a room that was perfectly arranged, functional and quiet. It also had an Italian rarity, excellent bedside reading lamps. Airport transportation worked well, which was fortunate, as the hotel's superior central location makes it tricky to find at night for those with jet-lag. Breakfasts were tasty, though we thought...
