Gunstige ligging t.o.v. centrum en vliegveldshuttle. Vriendelijk en correct personeel.

Prima Hotel, moest wel even de ingang zoeken, want die zit in een steegje en dan "ondergronds", maar de ontvangst was prima. Mooi schoon en moderne lobby. Mooie ruime kamer en ook de badkamer zag er gelikt uit. Kamer lijkt recentelijk te zijn opgeknapt en ziet er peikfijn uit. Internet bleek in eerste instantie niet gratis te zijn ondanks de vermelding […] in de boeking, doch ik kreeg alsnog gratis internet van het hotel! Gratis flesje water stond klaar in de kamer.

Het hotel is kraaknet, goede airco, goed gelegen. Voor het hotel stopt de gewone bus en ook de hop-on hop- of, een aanrader in de snikhete stad. De gratis parkeergelegenheid is ook wel zo gemakkelijk in een stad als Palermo, waar het verkeer toch even wennen is...

dit hotel heeft in een stad zoals Palermo enkele zeer grote voordelen. De aanwezigheid van een gratis parking is een uniek voordeel. Het hotel ligt aan het beginstation van de hop on-hop off bus, wat een mooi voordeel is. Daarnaast liggen de mooie winkelstraten om de hoek en is de opera op wandelafstand. De inrichting van dit mooie oude pand is volledig […] nieuw en de kamers zijn zeer ruim. Lees meer

We enjoyed this hotel. Parking was very reasonable, and the room was comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and very abundant. Most importantly, staff was courteous and helpful, and went way out of their way to answer our questions and support our travels.

Great value. Was clean and definitely 4 stars by international standards. Breakfast buffet was good, surrounding area is not near sightseeing but there is great shopping in the area. A major bus stop is nearby. Would definitely stay there again.

Personally, my wife and I loved this hotel. Excellent, friendly, helpful service. Room was clean. Internet was easy to access (Cost is 5 Euro for 24 hours). Location seemed to be within short walking distance to everything we were interested in. The breakfast was excellent every morning. Most of all, the people seemed very eager to help whenever necessary. […] We'd stay again. Lees meer

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel, and the reasonably priced parking was a life-saver. The free breakfast buffet was terrific. Staff members were courteous and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is very nice but there were two small things I did not like. The lobby is below ground so you have to take the bags down stairs. The other thing is they charge for the internet 10 Euro for three days, on this trip I stayed in 7 hotels and they were the ONLY one who charged for internet.

This hotel does everything a hotel should do. We stayed seven nights and had no complaints. Good-sized and modern bathroom although the room was a bit small. Great breakfast - fried eggs, bacon, custard-cream pastries, fresh rolls etc.etc. Hotel is perfectly located for airport bus and city sightseeing/Monreale bus and Spinnato Antico Caffè (where the […] cakes are to die for). But it's a long trek up and down the Via Maqueda or Via Roma each time to the more atmospheric parts of the city and the more interesting eateries . We managed to park our car in the hotel, but it does get busy in the peak periods. Overall, we would recommend this hotel - it's not a cheap option, but you get what you pay for. Lees meer

The Garibaldi whilst not luxury is extremely adequate and the staff very helpful. The location was excellent - plenty of bars and restaurants around, shopping and the sightseeing bus stops right outside the hotel. The pullman from the airport is 2 minutes across the square and busy route to the beach within abut 5 mins walk. I would have no hesitation […] is returning - great value for money. Spotlessly clean spacious rooms (though could do with a little warmth - lacking in artwork). We had a great 5 day break . Lees meer

Very good location just one block from the shopping street. Clean and nice rooms and friendly staff! Good breakfast buffé!

This feels more like a youth hostel than a 4 star hotel. But the location is great. Breakfast served orange juice in plastic cups rather than glasses - and the basement rooms are very bare - which is what gives it the hostel feeling. For that the rooms are OK - well ventilated and air conditioned. Our toilet seat was still dirty with old blood stains […] that had not been cleaned - but we were offered an alternative room Lees meer

This hotel is perfectly located in terms of sight-seeing, shopping, greta restaurants and even walking to the port and beach side. I was thoroughly surprised by the convenience of the location for those wanting to see Palermo! I would definitely recommend the hotel for those on holiday wanting to make the most of sight seeing, shopping and eating in […] Palermo. Since the hotel does not serve lunch or dinner or have room service it would probably not suit those wanting to stay indoors and work. Other than this its great value for money! Lees meer

This hotel is in the heart of it all. The hotel is situated outside the square in the centre of Palermo. We were only there for one night and the hotle is clean, newly renovated rooms, and great guest service. If you like to wander then you are surrounded with their culture and many restaurants. Great hotel and good for a one night stop before taking […] the train around Sicily. Enjoy. Lees meer

The hotel was close to the city centre with lots of shopping around. There is no view, bt most business otels do not have views. The room was nice and clean. The bathroom was very good. The airconditioning did not work initially but when raised to the reception was switcehd on and worked fairly well afterwards. Breakfast was decent continental affair. […] Overall a good stay. Lees meer

Good location entrance bit hard to find hint get a back room

Very nice hotel in a great location with free parking.We could walk to all the major sights and enjoy Palermo and not worry about our car. Excellent breakfasts and very good recommendations to neighborhood restaurants.

The hotel feels like being in a hospital. It's a depressing place, uncomfortable beds dreary surroundings. Internet did not work in the room. The curtains looked dirty, the room was uncomfortable.

They would only recommend 2 restaurants which was odd. The room was big. The bahroom was a trip and fall hazard though. They need a grab bar in the shower. WiFi was too expensive.

Really nice hotel situated near the middle of Palermo and half a block from the airport shuttle bus stop. The room was very large and well appointed. Breakfast was pretty fantastic and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

The staff was professional and the breakfast buffet was great.

A bit far from the town centre but still within walking range. Parking in the hotel is very convenient since it can be difficult to find street parking in town.

The Hotel Garibaldi is located a comfortable walk from the harbor and conveniently located on several bus lines. Even though we had called ahead to let the hotel staff know we were arriving on a 6:30 am ferry, we did not expect to be able to check into our room at 7 am. But the staff found one for us (it helps to travel during the off-season!) and let […] us check in right away. This was a wonderful way to rest and freshen up before going out to enjoy the city. I concur that a street-side room is somewhat loud, but I was pleased with the visible security cameras and the desk clerk watching all of them. Since we had an unfortunate incident in Rome with a person scaling two stories in an attempt to enter our room through a window, the security at Hotel Garibaldi made me feel better. The front desk staff were always helpful and gave good advice about buses, including the airport bus. A good map of the city is provided right at the front desk, and the gentleman we queried knew the main bus lines by heart. You may be told there is a fee to use the Wi-Fi, but if you book through Hotels.com (looks like Expedia at the hotel end) they will honor the promise of free usage. They may need to be reminded. Our only complaint at all, and it is extremely minor, is that the chambermaid failed to replenish the tea service in our room each day. After the first day, we requested more tea, which was provided, but the next day when we asked the new desk clerk for teabags, she was uncertain what we meant (translation issue, I'm sure) and we gave up. I think this only stood out to us because every other aspect of the hotel and its service were spot on. This one little detail seemed a strange thing to overlook. Would recommend this hotel and would stay there again. Lees meer

We were 2 couples staying 5 nights. Excellent location, staff and service!

Recommended with only the caveat that the outside rooms are noisy during the day. An inside room is perfect. Mine was large, immaculately clean, and spacious. The breakfast was excellent consisting of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage along with cold meats, cheeses, and a large variety of rolls and sweets. The location is in the center of town convenient […] to many sights and the bus to the airport. Lees meer

We opted for the Hotel Garibaldi based the many positive reviews and was not at all disappointed! They arranged a 50 Euro airport transfer for us, which solved the issue of finding the hotel. While the front of the hotel does not appear on the Google map, the Teatro Politeamo does; it is huge, directly across the street and therefore makes finding […] the hotel a breeze.The entrance of the Hotel Garibaldi is down a very gradual flight of stairs, not at all a problem with large luggage (once in side, there is an elevator). We rented a car (had a good map) and found the driving to be no worse than any large American city, and free parking a great plus! The rest of the time we walked around Palermo and never felt unsafe. Most of the staff spoke english and were very helpful. The breakfast is extensive by anyone''s standards: eggs, sausages fruit, cereals, juices and a multitude of pastries, cakes and breads. Our rooms and bathrooms were clean, contemporary & spacious, also had a well stocked mini-bar and computer accessibility. We would definitely recommend the Hotel Garibalsi. Lees meer

Hotel is in a very convenient location but being on a main square can be very noisy. Breakfast is not great.

This is an excellent choice for visiting Palermo. Although the hotel is quite well hidden away ( a larger sign would help!) it has its own car park which is a real bonus in this city, where driving is a nightmare. It means you can leave the car and go on foot to visit the many sights. The breakfasts were delicious - excellent and continuous buffet and […] cappuccinos - and the rooms well appointed and clean. Ask for a quiet room as I gather some of the front ones can be noisy. I would be delighted to return to the Garibaldi. Lees meer

In a really convenient spot - about 10 minutes walk to the Theatre Massimo area and very near the main shopping streets. The room was comfortable and modern with good bathroom. A relaxing little haven after the hectic bustle of Palermo streets. We had a room at the back of the hotel - so no road noise at all. Reception staff were efficient, but a […] little surly - maybe could be a bit more welcoming. If you get the bus from the airport and get out just as it turns left off the main road, down the side of the large main squares, then you're almost right at the hotel entrance. Don't miss the entrance that's down some steps at the side of the building. Lees meer

It has a great location which is convenient for the airport bus and many attractions. The breakfast was good with a lot of choices, and the room was modern, clean, and very comfortable. This was one of the best hotels on the trip.

The hotel was quite modern, very comfortable and clean. They served a very nice breakfast and the staff was pleasant. The only downfall of the hotel is it is on a very busy, noisy street. We would recommend this hotel if the visitors would not mind the noise.I

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights in September. While a little out of the historic district it is well positioned for touring Palermo. The staff were wonderful in resolving several issues that arose and I thank them for their efforts. Breakfast was plentiful and the staff kept the breakfast stocked through the morning. The rooms are quite nice […] and modern. One thing, the rooms facing the entrance are on the side of a movie theater next door. If the theater is playing an action movie you may be disturbed by the noise. Ask for a rear facing room for quiet.. Lees meer

My husband and I stayed at the hotel for two nights. We booked the special offer for the superior room. IT WAS AWESOME! The room was so big that we almost lost each other :) Seriously, the room was clean,a very big bathroom, comfortable beds... the most important thing is that it has a free private parkling lot, and it's safe. The breakfast was special. […] Very tasty.. The hotel is 5 mins walk away from piazza castlenouva and teatro Palateamo.. a very central location... No need to say more.. just book it. Lees meer

Modern hotel near the Teatro Massimo- close to restaurants & shops. Easily airport-accessible via shuttle bus. Great continental breakfast & helpful staff.

The hotel was just about perfect. The room was large with a fab ensuite. Breakfast was excellent too, can't say anything bad about this hotel, loved it. Good location too. Really enjoyed my stay here and in Palermo.

July, 2010. My wife, two sons & I stayed here for two nights at the start of July. The stay was at the end of a week long vacation in Sicily, having spent the previous 5 days in the Trapani / Marsala area. Overall we were very satisfied with everything. The only difficulty we had was finding the hotel. We were driving a rental car, and had looked up […] the general location of the hotel. We didn't have a satnav. I expected to find signposts for the hotel as I got closer, but didn't see any. (There were signposts for many other of the hotels in the area.) Some main points: + Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Very good suggestions for suitable, convenient restaurants. +The hotel is very clean and well maintained. + Nice buffet breakfast was included. + An ideal base for exploring Palermo. + The free car park was very useful. FYI, car park space at the hotel itself is limited. you give your keys to the hotel, and they have a valet move the car to a local car park. - You have to pay for internet connection in your room.

The Hotel Garibaldi was the highlight of our stay in Palmero. We were disappointed with the city but the quality of the hotel made the difference. The hotel is opposite the Poliatana Theatre and located just between the old and new towns. This makes it a perfect base for sight seeing on foot. The check-in was very good with helpful staff on hand to […] answer any questions. The room was of a great standard with a very modern feel to it. The breakfast was wide ranging and of a good quality. I would highly recommend this hotel for a base in Palermo. Lees meer

Stayed at the hotel for 3 nights during June. The hotel is located centrally in a relatively safe area. Good access to shops, sights and supermarket. Hotel has a private car park which is a HUGE plus in a city where parking is v.v. difficult. Rooms were modern and some may consider this a bit characterless. Cons: There is significant music noise from […] the opera house across the road. Bathrooms do not have very good extractor fans. These are minor niggles that ear plugs will easily solve. (not so much the second one) Good value for money and very nice. Lees meer

Nice and convenient to the centre of town. Clean and modern. Internet access is not included as per hotel.com's description, it is an extra charge. I was very tried when I arrived, only had a brief walk around the neighbourhood. The hotel is very central. There is a café/bar right next door that sells bread rolls and other easy-to-eat things. The menu […] at the hotel looked limited. I did not eat at the hotel. The airport bus stop is directly across the square from the hotel. Overall, recommended. For the price it was great. Lees meer

We loved this hotel, great design, huge bed, all fab, and very central. It was just a shame we were so foxed by Palermo's one way system that we didn't arrive as early as we'd hoped to enjoy our one and only night there.

This is a very nice hotel in an excellent location. Our room was spotlessly clean and well furnished. Breakfast is excellent and if they provided milk with the tea and coffee in the rooms it would be perfect. Take your own if you need it. Restaurants and most sights are within an easy walk. The parking is a very important feature if you have a car.

The Garibaldi has been converted from an old building into a very comfortable hotel inside. Our room was large with huge beds and everything we needed. Only minor complaint was that the original windows had not been painted when the conversion was done, so looked tatty. The internet service in the room was free but I had to ask for a userid and password […] for each 24 hour period. Why not offer it on arrival for the whole of the stay? It was difficult to find as the entrance is down the side of the hotel in the basement. There is only a small sign and that was not visible from the direction we were walking. The airport bus is convenient but you still have to know where the hotel is. The staff were helpful as are other locals in Palermo.We will return and to this hotel if the price is just as good.

Quite close to centre, free internet and very comfortable room.
