Nuovo Cortile Palermo Bed and Breakfast

They don’t disclose the almost $30 check-in fee when you book. This feels like a deceptive business, and I found them dishonest.

There’s no privacy for a couple, since the bathroom door has been removed completely. The room is too small for a double bed, the shower is tiny and hard to move around in, and there’s no bide in the bathroom. The price is too high for the room and the service quality. I wouldn’t come back or recommend it to couples.

Air conditioning was available, but the mattress was just old foam. The toilet’s sliding door wouldn’t close properly, and a horrible smell stayed in the room throughout our visit. The person we dealt with on WhatsApp was rude at times, though the other man we met while paying was very nice. They charged us 40€ for checking in after 17h, at around 20.30. I assumed the fee covered someone working overtime to let us in, but they just left an envelope with our name at the entrance. The late check-in charge was per person, so a couple with a child would pay 60€ for arriving after 17h. That’s strange for a place advertised as a hotel. There was nobody ever at reception, and it seemed more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel. Palermo was easy to visit from this location, but the rest of the “hotel” left a lot to be desired. At least one towel had stains that looked like blood.

Really lovely!
