Casa Orioles

Expedia should clearly state that this is a B&B and not a hotel. The owner(s) seem not to be familiar with how to manage such a place. Unless you pass out from drinking, or for other reasons, there is no way you can sleep in this place. And that's why you pay for: TO SLEEP AND REST during the night. The rooms windows are facing a main street, and there is not enough space here to describe all the noise sources. Here are some examples: dogs barking from the streets, or the tenant above, mopeds speeding at full throttle all night long, everyone who has a horn will use it day and specially night time, monster sound blasters are installed in everything from kids bikes to delivery trucks and everything between. And they blast them at full, specially at night. People are shouting, talking loud or fighting (verbally) in the streets, or in the apartment above. NICE PLACE IN THE WRONG LOCATION. In addition, we had some technical problems, which can happen to anyone. However, they were only taken care off, after I called Expedia twice. UNACEPTABLE.

Laura couldnt have been mote helpful. Staying late as our flight was delayed. Marking interesting places on map. We had a fab time!

This is a nice apartment in Palermo's old town, within 10-15 min walk to the Norman Palace, the cathedral and il Capo market and 20-25 min to the old town. The room was very spacious and clean, the bathroom was also spotless clean. We had access to the kitchen but we didn't really need to use it. Laura is very friendly and welcoming and gave us terrific recommendations for what to see and do in the limited time we had. We very much enjoyed the pastry shop she recommended (right next to Porta Nuova near the Norman Palace) - probably the best ricotta cannoli in town. With regards to parking - the casa is within the ZTL however there's plenty of parking on the street a block up. We were actually lucky as the ZTL is not active on the weekend and were able to park right outside of the house.

Il servizio Breakfast è da migliorare (il misero cornetto con il cappuccino al bar vicino alla cattedrale è un pò pochino) Specificatelo meglio nel dettaglio della riservazione così si può decidere se includere nella riservazione la colazione. La responsabile comunque carina e ci ha dato alcune dritte per la cena.

Nice and confortable. Very easy to reach the city center and restaurants
