Albergo Cavour

I had a fantastic time in this hotel. I felt at home 🏡 in any shape or form. The place is super central and super clean. Signora Maria is a fantastic host with excellent customers service. Grazie mille signora Maria per la sua accoglienza e gentile. Kind regards Gian Battista Chiudinelli.

A slightly quirky hotel, but top notch all the same. Breakfast is served in your room on a "hostess trolley", and arrived spot on the time I asked for it. Hotel is on fifth floor but has a lift, however just be aware some rooms are up another floor, via a narrow staircase. I was expecting a small pokey room, but instead it was a tardis with huge space, spotlessly clean (and serviced each day, no questions asked), clean comfy bed, excellent en suite shower/toilet room, good shutters on windows meant virtually no noise disturbance, giant TV & good WiFi connection. But most of all the lady owner/front of house was a gem, despite the language barrier always helpful, accomodating and let me leave my bags for a full day as I was leaving on an overnight train.

Very kind staff and the rooms are nice and clean

Close to everything. The "hotel" is on the 5th floor. You need to use an antique elevator, which runs great. Security in the "hotel" is great, need to buzz in to get into the building.

I had a great stay at Albergo Cavour. The hotel looked exactly like the photos—while it’s not the most modern place, it’s very clean and has that Italian vibe that adds to the experience. It’s within walking distance to the main city centre and most tourist spots, which made exploring really convenient. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, and both check-in and check-out were super easy. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something authentic and well-located!

Wonderful. Cannot say more. Thank you very much.

Nice hotel very close to the railway station with direct trains to the airport owner was nice would book again

Nice B&B with a comfortable room and breakfast delivered to your room.

Proximity to the train station

Maria is very lovely, and very good overall value for money.

It was a really good stay! It’s a great hotel for the price you pay. For the check-in I would only improve the communication in English but overall we understood each other.

Everything is perfect, the service is super, and the position of the Albergo is close to the old city centre

Not a bad room. Location was close to the train station which was good, but the hotel is on the 5th floor. Elevator took us to the lobby but we still had to navigate a very narrow stairway with our luggage. We managed. It was just for one night.

The bedroom and toilet is huge and the whole place is so clean ! Although the lady who tended to me does not speak English , we both somehow understand each other. It is close to the train station as well as a short walk to all the sights ! Well located

A pleasant and welcoming B&B that's as close to the train station as you can get. Our room was generously sized and was very clean. Breakfast was delivered after submitting an order the night before, which was an interesting twist after the recent continental breakfasts we had been having till then. The host is lovely and kind. The area around the station is a bit scuzzy so do make sure you're aware of the directions and surroundings. The stairs to our room were *very* narrow so definitely make sure you're not bringing heavy or bulky luggage. The shower cubicle is small, but this is Europe!

We had a great stay in this family-run hotel. The service is excellent and you get very helpful tips. Usually areas close to stations are neither the cleanest nor the safest, but it is different here. Ideally located at the central station, at the entrance to the historic centre and also close to the old harbour. Breakfast is brought to the room, coffee and various types of croissants were of good quality, as you would expect in Italy. I can only recommend this friendly place.

No complaints at all. Very pleasant clean room. Great breakfast. Helpful, friendly reception.

How lovely to be in a small, family-run business and not a chain. I really felt that I was in Sicily and getting glimpses of family life. It is so near to Palermo Centrale station that as a couple that don't fly but travel everywhere from England by train it was the perfect find. Although on the fifth floor there is an ancient lift that transports one to reception and a smiling Maria who, no matter what time of day or night, seems there to check one in. We'd asked for a quiet room and that's exactly what we got with a glimpse of the sea. It was huge with comfortable bed, desk, chairs and wardrobe. The bathroom was spacious too with large shower space and hot, hot water. The whole B&B is absolutely spotless and, if one pops back, at any time one sees the family working so hard to make ones stay perfect. Breakfast of cornetti and coffee was delivered to our room at a time we specified. If one turns left out of the front door and left again on the main street one can walk down to the Botanical Gardens and the sea. Turn right on the main road and right again a little further up than opposite the station and one is in a fantastic street market and then further on into the old town. We ate both nights at 'Trattoria Trapani' near the station and had very good meals. It only opens from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. and the owner is charming. I would thoroughly recommend staying at Albergo Cavour for a slice of Sicilian hospitality.

This is a basic but very comfortable hotel, close to the station, just off via Roma. Palermo is easily walkable, and the historic centre is about 15 or 20 minutes along via Roma or via Maqueda.

Clean, easy, inexpensive, a congenial and helpful concierge, a neat old elevator, what’s not to like?
