Nice place for 2 nights. Good location and friendly host.

Good for short stays!

The location is great, just steps away from the Quattro Canti, and the place was just as in the pictures. It’s just very basic so I think is okay for short stays.

Nice but needs better upkeep

Very good service from staff but our shower was broken and please note this is a pensione style b&b without a reception in a larger apartment building.

Excellent location in the city center. Walked to everything. We loved our little balcony! The place was very easy to find and checkin and out was smooth.

Ideal location right in the heart of the historic centre. Very walkable with pedestrian walking on the main two streets intersecting the property. Easy 10min walk from the train station
Tyson, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was in a very good location, walkable, staff was accommodating and helpful. We liked our view of the street and the busyness of it all. We wish there was another mirror in the room the only one was in the bathroom, hard when 2 women were getting ready.
Sharlene, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The location of the property was excellent. Right in the middle of all the main site seeing and restaurants. Our room was a little tired. The mattress had seen better days and the room could use some updating. It was very clean.

8/10 Very good

Very convenient location in a high pedestrian activity area so we heard people out having fun. This is a unit in a suite of units within an apartment building. It feels like a small hotel room that opens into a common area with several tables & chairs, a refrigerator, microwave, supplies to make coffee & tea. We liked the firm bed, good water pressure in the shower, and our own small terrace.

Walking distance to historic center of Palermo

The place was a little difficult to find and once we made it in, it took a bit to get guided up to our room and given the keys. However they kindly allowed us to check in a little bit earlier and were able to give us instructions and a map, even making the suggestion to visit the Ballaro Market first, as it would close soon. Perfect for one night, just 1-2 people though, would not recommend more than 2. We even had a little balcony which was nice. Walking distance from everything you would want to check out in Palermo. We really appreciated the host's assistance with setting us up with a car service to the airport as we had a very early flight the next morning. That was one of the biggest highlights for us as it eased our worries about getting a taxi so early the next morning.

Great location in city centre and room was nice but the maid took the toilet paper roll one day and didn’t replace it. Also no soap or conditioner provided, only shampoo.

Francesca, our host, was very friendly and accommodating. The room was lovely, comfortable, and the location was exceptional… within walking distance to many sites. For an additional €20/day, we took advantage of valet parking. We would definitely stay here again!

Francesca was very responsive to my questions. I stayed in a suite so had a living room which was so lovely. Lots of restaurants nearby. It can be a bit noisy with street music down the road but I enjoyed that.

ok property for quick stay. lively!!!! area.....fun if you like lots of stimulation and melding of humanity. breakfast missed as served later than our departure 7am
Emanuel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We only spent one night here but the place was stylish and peaceful, despite being literally in the centre of the city’s busiest area. The room was small but we expected this, and overall very clean and well appointed but the floor was quite dirty. Bed was comfy but a couple of extra pillows would have been good as they were very thin so my partner had to use towels underneath his! Location is great and Alessandro was very helpful. However I would not recommend driving there! Parking is available under ground for €20 per stay but to get there you have to drive through the busiest road in the city, full of tourists and food stalls. Horribly stressful. The car park is tight so they park it for you, and the cars are all one behind the other so they keep the key and you have to ask for your car when you want it. We had to leave at 07.30am for the airport so this was a concern although it was actually very efficient with we called, and someone helped us get the car immediately. We were concerned about it being scratched by someone other than us driving it, from an insurance perspective so had we known this would be the case we would not have stayed here with a car. Overall though, it was pleasant and very quiet so we had a good nights sleep. Air con was great.

It is not a hotel, more like a bed/ no breakfast, you are staying in an apartment set up in a mix apartment building. The apartment is share with a couple of rooms. The “living room” when you enter is quite stuffy and didn’t smell great. Room itself is fine, basic but clean. Even tho it does have a garage in the basement but I would not recommend to drive there, or they should have better direction. The area is pedestrian! Very hard to get to the street. Taxi stand is right outside. Location is great. In the middle of the centro storico .
Kelly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We recently stayed at Cassaro 261. We were visiting Palermo for our 25th wedding anniversary. The room was ok. It looked to be remodeled however, the couch and chair in the sitting room were very soiled. It needed a deep cleaning and we did not sit on either of them. Yikes! The bathroom was gorgeous and totally remodeled. We had no issues with it at all. The problem we had with the room was the bed. This was the hardest bed we have every slept on. It litterally felt like we were sleeping on the floor. No exaggeration. The other thing is the noise. The property is close to all the action but it was so hard to sleep with the constant noise. Even at 3am. First thing in the morning, we heard the horses trotting up and down the street. Between the bed, which was insufferable, and the noise, we got zero sleep. The bed and noise were so bad, that we had to leave the property the next morning and secure a different hotel.If you are looking for a romantic and relaxing B & B, this is not the choice for you.

Lovely base in Palermo old town

We stayed at Cassaro 261 for 2 nights in the middle of our 2 week tour of Sicily. It was a lovely place to be based in the old town area, just a few minutes walk to most of the sights, plus many restaurants and bars very close by. The apartment itself was very spacious, modern and well presented. Alessandro was also really friendly and helpful, and made us feel very welcome. The main downside with visiting Palermo by car is that much of city, especially old town, has restricted access (ZTL) zones. For tourists this is very challenging to manage, and the information available (or not available) can be very confusing. For this reason, we parked at the long stay car park by the central station and then walked to Cassaro 261, which was about a 15 minute walk.
