I am very satisfied with the hostel - location is good, only 10 min walk from Theatro Massimo, which seems to be the focal point of the city, and 5 min walk from ticket kiosk for city bus. The kitchen is spacous and equipped with all necessary cooking facilities and you can sit on a beautiful patio terrace. The staff are friendly and knowlegdeable and always available. The hostel organises various activities and gives you info about cultural events in Palermo and about shorter and longer trips outside of the city. I strondly recommend the trip to Zingaro - we spent a wondeful day hiking in the wilderness with our guide Arthuro, discovering the orchids of Sicily, various spice plants and interesting animals in the reserve, we learned a lot about Sicily on that day - from geology to cuisine - and there was a bonus side trip to the thermal bath of Segesta! I also recommend to you the folk dance evening on Thursdays on Bellini square

All hostels in Palermo

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The staff is very helpful and nice. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioner works properly. The hostel is very clean and safe. It's a stone's throw from the main attractions. Offering still and sparkling water for free was the cherry on top for me. It's worth every penny.

I loved the shared space with couches etc. where you could meet other young people, I appreciate the age limit and the female-only room option. The bedroom was clean and well kept - I liked the bathroom a lot, it allowed enough privacy despite being shared. There were also all the extra things travellers would need which is great (shampoos, blow dryers…) The staff was very young and friendly too. I felt safe and welcomed there from the moment I stepped in. And the location of this hostel? Absolutely perfect!
