Everything about this small hotel “just works! “ The Alma’s welcoming staff is professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Everyone mentioned that in reviews and as a solo senior woman traveler, that & its excellent location was why I chose it. The room is immaculate & looks brand new even though the hotel is 12 years old. My room is on the same floor as reception, not on the street side. There’s no view, just other buildings, but it’s absolutely quiet. There is a lift (elevator) from the entrance to Reception which is staffed from 8:00 until 23:00. I have a door key & the hotel owner is available by phone and What’s App after hours. There is air conditioning/heat but in early April I did not need it. I did use the towel warmer/wall heater in the bathroom to make it cozy. That’s a nice touch. Breakfast is fine, more like a continental breakfast with fruit, yogurt, cheese and meat, boiled eggs & lots of pastry and bread. I saved my calories for the street! It’s less than a ten minute walk to both of the famous theaters, the Garibaldi & Massimo. From there, I walked all over this charming, lively, historic city day & evening. The Capo Street Food Market was amazing. The only neighborhood that I was a bit uncomfortable with was the Ballaro market though the hotel staff said that it is fine in the mornings. I must mention a nearby restaurant called Sapori Perduti. The hotel recommended it & has its menu handy because The Alma Hotel owners also own that restaurant. I was expecting an ordinary meal after a travel day. This intimate restaurant and its food stunned me. The food was “Art.” I’m still dreaming of the exotic flavors the chef achieved. I had the Price Fixed €40, although the menu is available à la carte as well. Check the photos of the three dishes I had. I was very pleased with my stay at The Alma Hotel. You can choose to book here with confidence.

“Best hotel in Palermo!”

I had an amazing stay at Alma Hotel. My first impression - at check-in - was the staff. They were incredibly gracious and I felt welcome immediately. That’s a wonderful feeling when you arrive jet-lagged from a long journey. Next, my room was fabulous! I had a beautiful living room (with Palermo … more

I had an amazing stay at Alma Hotel. My first impression - at check-in - was the staff. They were incredibly gracious and I felt welcome immediately. That’s a wonderful feeling when you arrive jet-lagged from a long journey. Next, my room was fabulous! I had a beautiful living room (with Palermo photography as wall decor) and a separate bedroom area. I’ll be honest, I rarely sleep well my first night in a hotel. Especially with jet lag. I slept for almost 12 hours my first night! Likely the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. Regarding location - the hotel is perfectly situated. It’s centrally located and I walked to all the major sights (and more) with ease. I also booked my airport transfer with the hotel and it was seamless. Throughout my stay, the staff was distinctly attentive - always making sure I didn’t need anything. It was truly lovely. Lastly, the morning breakfast (included) was breathtaking. Fresh pastries, fruits, juices, and the most delicious cappuccino I had in Palermo. I highly recommend Alma Hotel for your next stay in Palermo.

“Excellent location”

We were two couples wanting to stay in a reasonably priced hotel within walking distance of the older part of Palermo but outside the ZTL to avoid charges for the rental car. This location met this need. Furthermore, we found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. We were assigned 6th floor rooms overlooking the street. They were reasonably spacious and well equipped. The elevator is small but usually available. Large variety of food items were offered at breakfast.

“Nice Hotel in a Good Location”

The hotel is very nice. It is within walking distance of all the sites in Palermo. The room was a little tight, but typical of European hotels, and had everything we needed for our three day stay. Breakfast was very good with a lot of variety. All in all, I would stay here again.
