Be ready for noisy neighborhood
The owners are accommodating. The location being next to a market and a popular club/bar makes it noisy at night. The travelers should be ready for it.

5 days in Sicily
I went to Sicily to visit Palermo, Catania, Corleone and climb up to the Etna. I wanted to book only one hotel room in Palermo. Hotel Cortese is in the downtown and you can get a feeling about "real" Palermo. A family runs a hotel and they are very very friendly even if they do not speak English. But do not worrie won't be any language problem :) I rented a car to go away after I explored Palermo. They gave me a garage which was very cheap. But do not rent big car, the big car is a suicide in Palermo :) All in all I enjoyed very much the stay at Hotel Cortese. Thank you very much for the staff.

sejour palerme du 10 au 12 aout 2015
L'hotelier nous a accueilli le premier soir en peignoir... Faites attention à la réservation. Sur la notre; la salle de bain/wc devaient être privés alors que sur celle de l' hôtelier la salle de bain /wc privés ne figuraient pas. Il n'a rien souhaité entendre. Il est venu dans notre chambre pour nous la fermer à clef! Ce n'est pas une blague!!!! Il nous a dit pour les toilettes c'est sur le palier et pour la salle de bain,c'est au dernier étage. Elle est commune et il n'y a pas de clef pour fermer

Das Hotel ist einfach, aber das, was man in der Kategorie erwartet, findet man auch vor. Das Personal war freundlich. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Ggf. könnten sich Lärmempfindliche durch die zentrale Lage und umgebende Kneipen gestört fühlen. Insgesamt für einen Städtetrip empfehlenswert.

Tutto sommato non male
Il personale é stato accogliente e riservato. La posizione é centrale ma non ispira sicurezza. L'hotel é carino,arredato forse un po' anticamente,bagno piccolissimo;dispone di garage privato a pagamento. Nota negativa per la colazione,scarsa.

Centrale e conveniente
Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, ottima posizione, piacevole accoglienza e servizi di buon livello. Come si può immaginare, trovandosi nella zona di Ballarò, non è facilissimo da raggiungere ed è spesso esposto a rumori e musiche ad alto volume di vario genere, fino a ora tarda.

Hôtel plutôt vieillot. Petit-déjeuner insipide. Par contre, le wifi dans la chambre fonctionne correctement et l'hôtel est assez bien placé pour visiter la vielle ville, à coté d'un marché.

Rigtig god beliggenhed i henhold til seværdigheder, men ikke et helt rart område efter mørkets frembrud og meget larmende om natten. Virkelig søde mennesker og højt servicen niveau. De snakker ikke engelsk, men gør deres bedste for at gøre sig forståelige og er meget imødekommende. Jeg kunne sagtens finde på at vælge stedet igen og følte at jeg oplevede noget ægte Palermo ved at være der. Værelserne er fine og rene og der er massere at lys og luft (god aircondition). Jeg vil anbefale det og synes det er virkelig godt til prisen.
