The staff has no regard for guests in the sense that they blasted music from the office as loud as possible. all day and all night long. As we had early mornings, we needed... More

But it forces you into the communal areas to hang out with people. Pretty clean but I did feel itchy after 2 nights. Breakfast is pretty minimal -- stale pastries, corn flakes, coffee, tea. But there are... More

This hostel is very well located and the staff is fine, but the rooms look bad with an exotic smell, the beds arent comfy, it is noisy and unclean and the bathrooms are quite dirty and not comfy. Palermo has many hostels and i do not recommend this one.

Hostel seem to frequented by nice travellers and I always met good people here. Wifi is good, although bit weak signal in some of the rooms when I stayed, but I think they have installed... More
