Nobile Casa Roma

At the second floor of a building on Via Roma, the Nobila Casa Roma is a very affordable accommodation (39 eur/night for a single) conveniently located within walking distance from the train and bus station (even carrying luggage) and very close to the city center (5 min to Quatro Quanti, 15 min to Capella Palatina, 15 min to Palazzo Abatelis). And, of course, for the shopalcoholics, via Roma is one of the main commercial streets of Palermo. I stayed there 6 nights, from December 23 to December 29, 2009. The room was very spacious (it would have been so even with a double bed). Furniture was simple, but not hotel standard but various old pieces that gave the room an air of 1900 glamour. It has heating, which was convenient for the winter. Also, as a nice touch, a bath-robe was provided. I did not have breakfast there, but coffee, water and a basket of fruits were available always in the lobby, which served also as breakfast room. A refrigerator was also available in the lobby for all guests. There was someone at the reception desk every morning, but after lunch guests have to use the keys to enter the building and the guesthouse. Maps are available in the lobby in case there is no one to give information. It's not luxury but it's comfortable, quite cheap and the location was excellent. I would return there any time.
