Across many recent reviews, Porta di Castro Hotel & SPA stands out for exceptionally warm, hands-on hospitality, while its lively central setting can mean gritty surroundings and occasional street noise at night.
Breakfast is widely praised for generous variety and local treats. Rooms offer eclectic character but vary in size and layout; some feel small or lack bathroom storage, and soundproofing is limited in street-facing options. Facilities include a small pool and spa plus staff-assisted parking and an elevator, though a few guests found the pool too cold to use. Best suited to travelers who value character over uniformity.

A localização do hotel é excelente. Alessandro, o proprietário, sua esposa Kelly e o staff foram sempre muito atenciosos e gentis, fazendo nos sentir em casa. O café da manhã é muito bom e farto. Foi providenciado o estacionamento pelo hotel bem como autorização ZLT, que muito nos ajudou, pois a região central de Palermo é complicada para estacionar e conduzir veículo. Obrigado Alessandro e Kelly pela maravilhosa estadia!

We loved the location, the staff and vibe of the hotel. The breakfast was wonderful- quite the spread! There is a pool but it was icy cold and not really usable so I would suggest heating the pool to make it nice for guests to use.

We loved our stay! The breakfast was the best we had on our whole 2 week trip. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the hotel was within walking distance to many of the main attractions. They had valet underground parking that was perfect. The room was clean and they upgraded us free of charge. Overall, we had an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this hotel. We did not use the pool so I can’t comment on it.

A lovely little hidden gem that my husband and I had the pleasure of staying for the last 4 days. The hotel is walkable distance to lots of the tourist attractions and the train station. The staff are fantastic, and seem to really care about making your experience as enjoyable as possible. Everything from booking taxis and table reservations. They are on hand to help. Breakfast is in abundance with so much of their locally sourced items like their pie and canoli. And it's yummy! The beds are very comfortable and the hotel is very funky and unique. There is a nice touch of a welcome basket and the self service water tap. There are some parts of the building that are original behind glass, that absolutely adds to the character. The spa is lovely and the massages are fantastic. I highly recommend getting one. You can really feel that the owners heart has gone into this building. It's a truly lovely hotel that I would return to over and over again. Thank you for a fantastic stay

The staff are over the top helpful, friendly, kind, engaging, and do what they can to make your stay more comfortable. We came in early on the train. They took our bags before room was ready (they were waiting on us in our room by time we came back), and had an amazing breakfast for us (that same morning - which they didn't have to do) - as well as local map, and information for us upon arrival (and plenty of literature/travel books if interested)! They gave us a complimentary upgrade (for a room that was quiet/bigger - lovely), and accommodated our request for wine glasses for nighttime. There is an elevator even (which is a huge plus after a long day on our feet)! We even asked (and they arranged) a personal driver for a day to visit the ruins at Segesta - which was so much better/more convenient than the other trip options available on travel sites. Went way above and beyond what we expected. Would definitely stay again.

We loved the design that combines the old castle building with modern touches, including the scooters and bicycles used as decorations. The service was warm and full of personal touches. We really enjoyed the welcome cocktail and the cassata cake. A very generous breakfast and spotless rooms made the stay even better. In the end, it is truly great value for money.

Très bon séjour, à proximité du centre, parking possible. Accueil sympathique et prévenant.’ vous êtes dans une ancienne église et l’c’est genial ! En revanche la chambre sent l’humidité et les remontées du tout-à-l’égout. Il faut faire des travaux d’assainissement pour le confort des clients.

The staff was excellent. As a group, the nicest staff I have ever experienced. The room was extraordinarily clean. Location was excellent near the cathedral. Lots of motorbikes but with the windows closed not much of an issue. Plus the food in Parma is better than the food where you are including the breakfast at the hotel which was a feast of Sicilian fruits and charcuterie.

Highlight of this hotel - the staff they were extraordinarily helpful and friendly. However, the area is disgracefully filthy and run down. The building itself is horribly deteriorated and the pumping air Freshener covers up a clear sewer smell. This smell is evident as you enter the reception area as Well as in our bathroom. The furniture is old and rundown as much as other travelers claim it is “artsy”. Motorcycles and bikes in the room? Please! It was Shocking to see so many stellar reviews! I did not want to stay here and struggled to find another hotel. The photos are Greatly misrepresenting of this hotel - Especially the line of overflowing garbage cans as you walk out the front door!!!

We were highly disappointed with this hotel. Our room was located in the attic, and unless you’re under 5'4", you’ll constantly be bumping your head due to the sloped ceiling and lack of headroom. The bed and pillows were extremely hard and uncomfortable. I was traveling with my sister, and to our surprise, there was no bathroom door — meaning one of us had to leave the room whenever the other needed to shower or use the toilet. After we complained, they eventually gave us a makeshift wooden divider, but that’s not what was advertised on Hotels.com. The room was poorly maintained: the paint was peeling, an electrical outlet in the hallway was completely open (a serious safety hazard), and the refrigerator didn’t work. Cleanliness was lacking throughout. The “shampoo” came in tiny ketchup-style packets, the towels were rough and old, and there were no towel bars in the bathroom. The window in the room was an 8" porthole (see photo) Breakfast was mediocre at best — stale pastries and little variety. Overall, this property does not match its online description and needs significant improvement in comfort, safety, and maintenance.

The hotel is in a very conveniently and centrally located neighborhood, which unfortunately also means all street-facing rooms are quite noisy. As far as the interior, Porta di Castro is taking ‘shabby’ chic a bit too far, with comforts and convenience frequently sacrificed for quirkiness. Breakfast is generous but impresses more through quantity than quality. Overall far too expensive for what it is.

Although not the most wheelchair friendly place to stay the staff were so helpful in accommodating us. Amazing breakfast. Excellent customer service. Great location, easy walking distance to everything. Would highly recommend this place and will most definitely come back.

What to say. The team could not have been anymore welcoming. There was an issue with the booking but we were upgraded. We had to move rooms but they did all the work. Super helpful, attentive, great with tips and tricks for our visits, and the breakfast was huge! Car looked after and ready when needed (and trust me you don’t want to worry about parking in Palermo). Would recommend to anyone.

The staff at this hotel were excellent! They proactively engaged with me before the trip to ensure everything was in order and to see if I needed any help. They answered all my questions prior to arrival and they arranged airport transportation after our stay. They were also attentive offering water to us whenever we returned (it was very hot in Palermo during our stay). The restaurant they recommended was excellent mom and pop place (not a tourist trap) about a 10 minute walk. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family of four. The pictures of the hotel are accurate. The decor was unique, one of a kind. It’s a unique hotel with history, character, and charm. If in Palermo again, this is where we will stay.

This hotel is tucked away in a local area but just minutes walk from the sites and main streets. The design and decor are charming and unique, but the biggest standout was the service. The staff went out of their way to help us with last minute and changing plans for the 1 night we stayed there. True hospitality!

The staff are over the top helpful, friendly, kind, engaging, and do what they can to make your stay more comfortable. We came in early on the train. They took our bags before room was ready (they were waiting on us in our room by time we came back), and had an amazing breakfast for us (that same morning - which they didn't have to do) - as well as local map, and information for us upon arrival (and plenty of literature/travel books if interested)! They gave us a complimentary upgrade (for a room that was quiet/bigger - lovely), and accommodated our request for wine glasses for nighttime. There is an elevator even (which is a huge plus after a long day on our feet)! We even asked (and they arranged) a personal driver for a day to visit the ruins at Segesta - which was so much better/more convenient than the other trip options available on travel sites. Went way above and beyond what we expected. Would definitely stay again.

Central and walkable to the cathedral, markets, and train station. Several guests found the immediate area gritty with heavy traffic noise, and a few felt less comfortable late at night.

Porta de Castro was a wonderful stay. The only thing is if you want quiet, the street it is located on is busy and quite a bit of honking. Didn’t bother me, popped in some ear buds at night. The breakfast and staff were amazing!!! I felt very welcomed and the staff helped me with any questions, plus lots of suggestions on what to do in the areas. Very convenient to walk to almost any place, including the train station.

The hotel was brilliant. They welcomed us with a little snack and a drink. Breakfast was out of this world. Staff were very pleasant and very helpful. Could not have asked for more. Well done you guys. A lovely hotel very bright and well presented. The only slight downside is the location is a little dirty. However it is close to the attractions like the cathedral i would not walk back in the middle of the night. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

A very unique property with very helpful staff and a charming vibe. They stored a bag for me while I met friends to sail for 8 days, and it was waiting for me in my room when I returned. Great breakfast. Easy walk to a train station, close to the main tourist area but not in the middle of it. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay! The breakfast was the best we had on our whole 2 week trip. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the hotel was within walking distance to many of the main attractions. They had valet underground parking that was perfect. The room was clean and they upgraded us free of charge. Overall, we had an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this hotel. We did not use the pool so I can’t comment on it.

Staff was helpful, generous and friendly. Accommodated early and late checkout. Took time to serve us a sweet and orient us with a map/list of restaurants. Breakfast was served at table with platters of pastry, meat, cheeses, fresh fruit, eggs, yogurt-very good!! The room was a little run down (we had Junior suite)-but for that it would have been excellent!!

Porta di Castro B&B was overall wonderful! The breakfast spread cannot be beat. It is a feast every morning! The staff at breakfast were always so friendly and attentive. The inside of the hotel is very charming and unique. Lots of beautiful brick, paintings, and statues that really added a lot of character. The owner kindly upgraded our room free of charge. Just steps away from some of the big landmarks in the city. Great location! 10/10 recommend staying here if you visit Palermo.

We loved the design that combines the old castle building with modern touches, including the scooters and bicycles used as decorations. The service was warm and full of personal touches. We really enjoyed the welcome cocktail and the cassata cake. A very generous breakfast and spotless rooms made the stay even better. In the end, it is truly great value for money.

We were highly disappointed with this hotel. Our room was located in the attic, and unless you’re under 5'4", you’ll constantly be bumping your head due to the sloped ceiling and lack of headroom. The bed and pillows were extremely hard and uncomfortable. I was traveling with my sister, and to our surprise, there was no bathroom door — meaning one of us had to leave the room whenever the other needed to shower or use the toilet. After we complained, they eventually gave us a makeshift wooden divider, but that’s not what was advertised on Hotels.com. The room was poorly maintained: the paint was peeling, an electrical outlet in the hallway was completely open (a serious safety hazard), and the refrigerator didn’t work. Cleanliness was lacking throughout. The “shampoo” came in tiny ketchup-style packets, the towels were rough and old, and there were no towel bars in the bathroom. The window in the room was an 8" porthole (see photo) Breakfast was mediocre at best — stale pastries and little variety. Overall, this property does not match its online description and needs significant improvement in comfort, safety, and maintenance.

We loved this little gem of a place with lots of character. The staff are super nice and speak good English - they arranged airport pickup and late check-in flawlessly and helped us find a restaurant 2 mins away still open with delicious food when we arrived. Our room was very comfortable and pretty, the bathroom small but modern, the breakfast was wonderful with lots of options and the pool/hot tub area was divine to relax in after a hot day sightseeing. The location in old town was convenient for walking. Everything worked well including aircon.

This is an unusual and quirky hotel in a great location. Loved the decor and the staff were very nice and helpful. Enormous breakfast, way too much really as they brought it out to you, rather than you choosing for yourself. We had booked a room with a balcony that we could sit out on, but we were upgraded to a larger room with two balconies. Unfortunately, you couldn't sit out on the balconies. Also despite being called a junior suite, and whilst nice, there was no seating area and so you could only sit on the bed. There is room to put two chairs and a small table which would make the room more comfortable. Would stay again because of the great location and staff.
