About
Hotel Italia - Palermo
Hotel Italia sits on Via Roma, roughly 600 metres from the Martorana and a short walk from Palermo's main train station. The 2-star property keeps things simple: free Wi-Fi, breakfast, and rooms that come with air conditioning and heating. Some guest rooms open onto balconies with city views.
The hotel is run by hosts who several guests describe as exceptionally friendly, offering sightseeing and food recommendations. Breakfast is a recurring highlight, delivered to the room at your chosen time. The style is old-school and characterful rather than modern, with high ceilings and a tidy, well-kept feel throughout.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No parking on site — The property does not list parking, which may be a challenge for those arriving by car in central Palermo.
- Check-in ends at midnight — The latest arrival time is 23:59, so late-night arrivals beyond that wouldn't be accommodated.
- Pets not allowed — Despite the 'pets allowed' flag in amenities, the policy explicitly says pets are not allowed — worth confirming directly if you plan to travel with an animal.
- Simple 2-star facilities — Rooms are described as tidy and characterful but basic — no mention of a pool, gym, or on-site restaurant beyond a dinner option mentioned once.

7.6Verified guest“I loved the room: it was well-kept and reasonably large, with two balconies, a private bathroom, and a nice view.”
7.6Verified guest“The location was perfect for exploring the city, and I could easily find the hotel even though I arrived late at night. The hosts, Tiziana and her son Dario, were incredibly friendly and gave great recommendations for sightseeing and traditional Sicilian food. The room was clean and spacious with a nice view. Amenities like a hair dryer, A/C, TV, and Wi-Fi all worked well. I especially loved the cosy atmosphere and the delicious Sicilian breakfast served in my room. I'd definitely recommend this place and stay again.”
