The structure and location of the hostel were just perfect. The room was very clean and wide. The best part of the whole stay was the welcoming and helpful of the staff. Specially Manu helped me with many doubts I had and was very attentive to make me feel confortable during the stay. Recommend strongly to stay there when in Palermo.

We stayed in the hostel for 4 nights, in a huge room with private bathroom. It was very clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and polite, and the location is quite good for the price (not downtown, but still within walking distance from the main city landmarks and in a very interesting neighbohood).

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!
