What guests think

Across many reviews, Alma Hotel stands out for exceptionally friendly, proactive staff and a central, walkable location, with guests frequently noting clean, comfortable rooms and helpful touches like to-go breakfasts, transfer arrangements, and thoughtful local recommendations.

Common downsides are street noise in road-facing rooms and a small, older elevator within the shared building. Breakfast is often praised for variety and pastries, though some found it basic or missing hot items, and coffee opinions vary. A couple of reviewers mentioned limited reception hours and occasional maintenance issues. Expect a friendly, centrally located base for exploring Palermo.

The power failed on the second night of our stay which resulted in the door at reception locking leaving us with no means of escape! There is no fire escape in the property. The emergency lighting also failed to operate. The owner of the hotel arrived after a short while but struggled to release the door. If there had been a fire we would have been trapped. The owner was reluctant to accept responsibility for these failings. He asked us what we wanted him to do, he should maintain his property and offer guests a safe place to stay.

Friendly, helpful professional staff. Abundant, tasty breakfast. We arranged transport from & back to the airport through the hotel. It was excellent especially since the airport is a distance from Palermo & we had an early morning flight to Rome. Location is central & walkable to city sites & harbor. Small hotel on third floor of larger building, tiny functional elevator, Rooms are thoughtfully designed & have useful amenities for guests’ comfort. We were very happy with our stay.

I rated this as 2 stars for the following reasons: Cons - Parking was terrible, there is no breezway or hotel specific reception on the street. I had to double park, go up to the 2nd floor and let reception know I had arrived. THey called their valet who came in 10 min but by that time a bus was yelling at my family to move. - I had to ask the reception to come help with bags and it took 3 trips because the elevator is slow and small. - We came back to the 2nd floor for some reason just to be told to go to the 4th floor to our room. - Room was extremely noisy all night long with people moving furniture, very loud road noise and lots of light (curtains have small slits in them). This was a problem for us mostly since we were traveling with a 20month old but my wife and I were woken up by loud music and loud horns. - The room is extremely simple with not many amenities. - We found a roach the morning we were checking out after a 2 night stay. Pros - Great for single or couples in terms of proximity to lots of sights, food, bars. - Staff was helpful and nice in our limited interaction - Travelers without a car or luggage

a clean solid middle-class hotel with an outstanding, and very friendly and helpful staff and owner. the picture on their website is not of the hotel but of a nearby attraction. the hotel is located in a building shared by many small hotels who each may have a room or more on a floor or more. there is a good elevator. breakfast is fine and the melon was the best i have had in a long time.

This hotel is situated only five-minutes walk to the Teatro Massimo, and on a quiet street. It is easy to call taxi from here. The downside of it is a very old elevator with multiple 3-stars hotel and it small breakfast selection.

Received a welcome email the day before check-in. The room was ready when we arrived at noon. Close to all the sights and ferry port, located in a building which had couple of hotels and B&Bs. All staff were very friendly and speak fluent English, especially Mari was very helpful. She took care of us and luggage after we checkout. Room was clean and quiet, with no charge minibar with soft drinks and 4 bottles of water. The breakfast was good. The only complaint I had was that very strong bad odor of sewer/mold in bathroom.

OUTSTANDING! The staff at Alma Hotel are amazing. I travel a lot yet I have never met a kinder, friendlier, or more professional group of people. I let them know my estimated time of arrival and check-in was a breeze. They greeted me by name and in less than five minutes we were headed to room no. 10. What a lovely space! It's a very spacious suite of rooms with a large balcony. The street is very noisy but one can barely hear a sound once the sliding doors are closed. To make sure, they provide earplugs on the nightstand. The TV is a generous 60" or so, but we hardly used it. The cupboards were stocked with dishes and pans, and the full-sized fridge held comp bevs. B'fast was satisfying and beautifully presented by the ladies I dubbed The Breakfast Crew (M.Agata, Federica, and Greta). They are lovely and attentive. My daughter arrived with a bad cold and they asked about her condition. So sweet. The front desk staff is equally amazing (Noemi, Sharon, and Michele). We checked out for a few days to visit Catania and Agrigento and the Alma stored our luggage. Upon our return, we were welcomed like old friends and Michele just handed us the keys to the same room where our luggage had already been delivered! We were so tired that their thoughfulness was most appreciated. A big shout-out to Liliana and Katia in Housekeeping. The owners, Antonella and Paolo should be very proud of these fine young people. I highly recommend the Alma Hotel and would happily stay here again.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Alma for 5 nights, and it was easily the best hotel within our trip. We're very happy we booked it. The hotel itself is very clean and well kept. The rooms are also clean and have plenty of space for luggage. Bathroom and showers are perfect. Breakfast is full of different options and was delicious! The location is great. It is a 5-15 minute walk to the main things you'll want to visit in Palermo (Historical center, all three markets, popular streets with food and drinks etc.). Its far enough away from these streets that the noise is not bad - we had no issues with noise at night The staff is the highlight and what makes this place so different than any other hotels. Everyone is super friendly and looking to help. We had a great intro to the city with maps/places to visit etc. and when the staff heard we would be leaving early one day (before breakfast is served) they helped pack a "to-go" breakfast to make sure we had something to eat. Special shout out to Michele (I hope I spelt his name right) and team, who organized parking for our car on the street to ensure we could leave very early in the morning with no troubles. Palermo was the highlight of our trip, and we think a great hotel helped make that happen. We would easily come back!

Everything was great! Room, location, staff, everything. The only one thing to keep in mind is the location is on a busy street so there will be some street noise. However, it didn't impact our sleep and the hotel provided earplugs in the room (were there without asking when we arrived). We did not even have to use the earplugs but one night I almost put them in. Would highly recommend
