Hotel Giardino Inglese

“The Best hotel in Palermo. Perfecto!”

My three generational family of 8 stayed here for 4 nights. Eugenio was the perfect host. He took great care of us from my booking in May throughout our stay in October. All the staff were excellent and accommodating. Our rooms with balconies were comfortable. The breakfasts on the lovely terrace overlooking the park were very tasty. And the setting adjacent to the park was beautiful. It’s calming to be in a quiet , green space when you’re touring a large city like Palermo. And they accommodated us with an early checkin which we appreciated after our trip from the US. Perfecto!

“Solid hotel, but that check-out time…”

In Palermo, I have also stayed at Ibis Styles Palermo Cristal, Hotel Plaza Opéra and Hotel Ucciardhome. My reviews, to compare, can be found on TripAdvisor. Pros: - Location: (Walking) Ignazio Mormino Art and Archaeology Museum (4mins), Parco Piersanti Mattarella - Giardino Inglese (4mins), Villa … more

In Palermo, I have also stayed at Ibis Styles Palermo Cristal, Hotel Plaza Opéra and Hotel Ucciardhome. My reviews, to compare, can be found on TripAdvisor. Pros: - Location: (Walking) Ignazio Mormino Art and Archaeology Museum (4mins), Parco Piersanti Mattarella - Giardino Inglese (4mins), Villa Deliella (4mins), Port of Palermo (20mins). - Bathroom amenities: Soap bar, combined shampoo/shower gel, shower cap, hairdryer (800w) [i.e. bring your own!] - Free in-room WiFi (good speeds, approx. 48Mbps). - Lots of in-room storage. Cons: - Compared to other hotels, the check-out time of 10:00am is very early and should be noted. - Breakfast is more at a 3-star hotel level, rather than 4-star. As others have mentioned, this is an area that should be improved.

“A nice stay.”

We stayed here for a week in late September. Our room had a small balcony that overlooked part of the adjacent park. The room was clean, and they somehow always managed to clean it quickly, so that by the time we finished having breakfast on the roof the room would be clean again. One complaint about our room is that while it had two bathrooms, one of them had a terrible smell to it so we just kept that one closed the entire time (we never actually mentioned the smell to anyone.) Something else to note is that the key to enter the room has to be inserted into a slot after you enter in order for the room to have power (this may be how it’s done in Sicily in general, as we had to do the same in another hotel.) Breakfast is available on the roof every morning. The food was mostly decent, but you are treated to some nice views. The hotel is a bit of a walk to get to the center of Palermo; we enjoyed the long walk as it probably was needed from all the eating that we were doing - but it may be too far for those that are not able to do long walks. There is a Jacuzzi but I think you have to reserve it - it was covered during our time. There is a bar next to the lobby and it’s not terribly overpriced. Overall, the staff was very friendly and I think it’s a pretty decent place to stay.

“Well-Located”

Stayed here in Fall 2019 for one night. The hotel was lovely and the staff very friendly. Surrounded by a lush green park, but the bus stop was across the road. The local bus was free for us to use. However, things that cost us extra were the bike rentals and valet. On our check-out day, we were ab… more

Stayed here in Fall 2019 for one night. The hotel was lovely and the staff very friendly. Surrounded by a lush green park, but the bus stop was across the road. The local bus was free for us to use. However, things that cost us extra were the bike rentals and valet. On our check-out day, we were able to rent the bikes to go all over Palermo, which was nice and the front desk held our luggage and car for us. Would definitely recommend as a solid middle-range hotel.
