We were traveling with a tour group and Alitalia lost our luggage for two days so perhaps I wasn't in the greatest mood when I first saw the Hotel Wagner. The front desk staff was lovely and tried to be helpful. The Hotel ( a grand dame covered in gilt to hide her age) is in a great location just... More

This hotel is one of two five star hotels in Palermo. We spent three nights. Our first room was quiet, facing the back alley. When we were "upgraded" to the front side it was to a smaller room with a lot of city noise. Some of the hotel staff were eager to help, others were seemingly too busy to be... More

This is a classic hotel in the heart of Palermo on the border of the new and old town. We found the location very convenient. The rooms were large with a large bathroom and as the rooms faced the inner courtyard, it was very quiet. Great breakfast selection and very friendly and helpful staff. Recommended.

The grand hotel Wagner may have once been a five star hotel but those days are long gone. The rooms are so small you cannot unpack. I saw 3 different rooms and none were much different, we chose the last one shown and were not told it was on the noisy side. We heard horns blowing all night and loud... More

My husband and I took my 21-year old daughter to Sicily, Italy for a vacation. The location of this hotel was excellent as it is just off the main boulevard, so it's quiet. It's within easy walking distance to all of the main sites & great restaurants. The staff was excellent and tended to our every need. When I wanted... More

The hotel is in a superb central location, close to some fine restaurants, cafes, and cultural attractions. I came for the opera, and the Teatro Massimo is just a few blocks away. So too is the great Baroque centre of Palermo, easily reached on foot for a nice tour of the markets, churches and monuments that define Palermo. The Wagner's... More

This hotel was beautiful, clean and the breakfast was great! Staff was friendly and the lobby/sitting room/bar was fantastic (looks wise). And we got a great deal on Expedia. The location was amazing too - it was very easy to walk around the town and there were lots of restuarants nearby.

We visited Palermo in early December 2012, arriving on Saturday and departing the following Tuesday. We booked tickets to the opera, at the Teatro Massimo to see I Due Foscari on Saturday evening. We were delighted to find that the hotel was within easy walking distance to the Opera house and to many fine restaurants and shops. The hotel staff... More

The hotel is very centrally located, and within walking distance to good restaurants, shopping and beautiful old buildings. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are very comfortable and spacious and clean. The town parties on Sunday nights and plays music all over until 1.30am, so unless you want to party all night, bring ear plugs!

This was our little bit of luxury for our 4 day trip to Palermo. Close to the Teatro Massimo where we saw Madama Butterfly. Beautiful hotel with excellent breakfast. Would recommend for a special treat but it is a bit pricier than we would normally pay. Also had a nice massage in the spa downstairs although no pool.
