Mercure Palermo Centro

Great front desk staff, fabulous free breakfast with extensive selection of food and drink, walkable neighborhood with numerous shops and restaurants - watch out for the cars, scooters, motorbikes & other vehicles zipping through the very narrow streets!

Incredible staff did everything to make my trip. Excellent beautiful breakfast buffet.

Decent hotel. Mattress was too hard but otherwise the room was fine. Good breakfast buffet. Helpful staff

Good but fairly average hotel.

Need renovations

Location was excellent!

The room was huge and I loved that plus the AC. It’s oddly noisy (I was on floor 2) but traffic and garbage trucks for 3 nights. Water pressure in the bathroom was great and so was breakfast. Surprised that they only offered shampoos and hand soap as toiletries. Otherwise really good stay. American like space and 2 double beds!

Very clean. Good location. Great breakfast. Bed was very hard.

No control for an AC in the room

The hotel was quiet and the staff were friendly. In spite of this, I would never return. I was given a single room which was very hot. There is no temperature control in the room so they told me to open my window. I did this but it opened onto external stairs which left me vulnerable to whoever would climb up from the street. There was no chain or limit to how wide the window would swing open so anyone could get in. I did not feel safe. The room was about the size of a large walk in closet. I could have lived with this but there was a sewage odor. I couldn't tell if it was from the open window or the toilet. Also the toilet backed up immediately after my arrival and i had to have it fixed. To their credit they did this promptly. The food in the restaurant was fried to death and dry. The bar served me a "watery" martini (the worst I've ever had) with an olive with a pit! The breakfast was decent. The hotel does have some nicer rooms, I later discovered. I wouldn't have minded a small room if there weren't the problems that I've related here. I stayed in several other hotels in Sicily of comparable price and none of them had these types of problems.

Fantastic location. Hotel and rooms were very clean Breakfast was excellent plenty of choice. Staff were very helpful and friendly

I have two main issues with my stay at this hotel. Firstly, upon check-in, the room had a strange smell. I requested a different room, but the staff offered to clean the original room again. Even after recleaning, the unpleasant odor persisted. Secondly, I encountered a problem with the room temperature. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling cold because the heater was blowing cold air. The room has no thermostat control, so I went to the front desk to request that they raise the temperature. I asked them to adjust it two days in a row, but they insisted that the AC was working correctly. The staff could not differentiate between air conditioning and heating. Finally, for the third night, I requested extra blankets. They only delivered them after I reminded them three times, which made obtaining blankets challenging. Overall, my experience in this so-called 4-star hotel has been disappointing.

Comfortable room and great breakfast.

Great place to stay , walking distance to all monuments

Daily problem with WiFi which I had to call to desk. One person on the phone suggested I bring her my phone since I couldn’t operate the WiFi. Front desk wouldn’t make change for 100 euros saying they didn’t have cash. Some staff were nice however. The morning buffet was nice. The hotel room was nice and the shower was excellent.

Professional, courteous staff. Waiter in bar brought extra aperitivo snacks for gluten free eaters. Room was clean & comfortable but sofa fabric was tired & tearing.

Average

Good location, 20 min walk to central train station. We stayed at the guest house suites next door to the Mercure Hotel itself. Room was new, clean and quiet. Breakfast was served at the hotel, again, right next door to the guest house suites. Touristy street was about 10 min walk, tons of restaurants, shopping and sites.

AC was uncontrollable. Too hot the whole time!

Location close to historical part of the city
