Hotel Garibaldi

Really great, central location. Our room was really spacious and the walls were not as thin as in other Sicilian hotels. However, we had a problem with our toilet not flushing that took more than 24 hours to fix. There's a very small lobby and restaurant and they had no computer. You have to climb up and down slanted steps to get to and from the street.

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights with my girlfriend. First, I’d like to mention the negative aspects. The air conditioner kept turning on and off by itself, and no matter what we did, we couldn’t fix it. You might wake up in the middle of the night either sweating or freezing. Although our room was cleaned every day during our stay, our towels were only changed once — we believe they should be replaced without us having to request it. The biggest issue was the Wi-Fi; I’ve never encountered such a poor internet connection. Even downloading a small video could take several minutes. Also, we realized that having a holiday in Palermo without a car is nearly impossible, and finding parking in the city is not easy. The hotel has a parking lot, but it costs €25 per night, which we find expensive. You can look for parking around the hotel, which might be more affordable. On the positive side, the hotel has a good location. The breakfast didn’t offer much variety, but it was tasty. The rooms and the hotel overall were clean and hygienic.

AVOID First off, the rooms look nothing like the pictures. While they do appear to be clean, they are completely outdated and equipped with terrible white fluorescent lights. The WiFi is so bad that we just decided to buy more data for our travel plan. And the AC? It’s basically non-existent. All of this, paired with intermittent outside/road noise will ensure you get no rest. The only positive thing about this place is the location, which is indeed very centralized, but that does not make this place one I’d ever recommend. This hotel is terrible and not worth more than €50 per night, at most. You’ve been warned.
