Il Lapino

Great central location. Hosts were friendly and welcoming and provided free breakfast. Room was spacious, comfortable and clean

Everything was good except the street noise of Palermo— not the property’s fault. I just hate listening to Motorcycle noises every night

Excellent from all points of view!

We arrived by train to Palermo Centrale and, as it was very late, we took a taxi whose driver dumped us in the street. We wandered up and down and then asked some lovely young Italian men for help. They wandered about too and decided that it must be somewhere across the busy street. We eventually found it and as soon as Ivan opened the door all was well as he'd kindly waited up for us. Part of the problem for us older folks is not having working wifi. There is always wifi on Italian trains but no connection so we were unable to contact Ivan. I say this only to warn others that it's a good idea to exchange mobile numbers so that at least one can message one another. Unfortunately on that first evening Ivan couldn't accommodate my request for a quiet room and we were at the front overlooking the street and on a Saturday night it was absolutely unbearable for myself who has an aversion to noise. However, the lovely Ivan, gave us a quiet room at the back on our second night and it was peaceful, large, comfortable with a good bathroom. He also told us that he'd like to offer us a free breakfast which we helped ourselves to in a very nice area on the 2nd floor near our room. There was cereal, milk, yoghurt, bread that could be toasted, fruit, nuts etc. and it was so good to be able to eat and make a cup of tea or coffee. The hotel is perfectly placed to walk into the old town and there are some good restaurants around the corner. Thank you Ivan for your patience!

This appartment had easy access to the bus from the airport and to the heart of the Old Town. It was quirky and friendly with everything we needed for our trip to Palermo. Even though we were very close to the tourist areas the neighbourhood was full of ordinary people going about their day to day business, and we enjoyed lunch and fab early evening drinks in two separate establishments just around the corner from Il Lapino. We recommend for a very reasonable stay with very helpful hosts.

Il Lapino has rooms on 2 levels. We were on the upper level with a shared 'help youself' breakfast area which was very nice since we could not only use it for breakfast but also for a coffee or tea at any time. We faced the busy road which meant that there was some traffic noise at night but with the shutters closed it was minimal. Easy access to the cathedral, city centre & Monreale bus stop. We were also kindly given a map highlighting lots of eateries. Comfortable bed too.
