Was referred here after all other options in the city were booked. This is a brand new addition to the Ayres min-chain of hotels. Having stayed at their Recoletta hotel at the same rate, I had certain expectations. The Palermo far exceeded those. Not only is everything new, but the room is a full suite, 1 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, kitchen, 2 TVs free internet. The rooms are also quiet (request one that goes out to the back.) Furnishings all high-quality. Location is perfect in center of Palermo. Supermarket is just across the street if you want to use the fully equiped kitchen.
