Ibis Styles Palermo Cristal

Bargain hotel in a great location a short walk from the historic centre. Clean & comfortable spacious rooms, a nice bright lobby and helpful staff. Breakfast isn't great, but that's about the only knock. Great location for lots of nearby restaurants, so not a major issue.

Stayed in the Ibis Styles last night. Overall I am very happy with my stay. It is a good budget option in the city centre. Room was small but had everything I needed. It was clean and had a small fridge which was great to keep drinks cool. It is in a good location and @ 10 minutes walk to the bus stop for the airport. I was on the 8th floor and it was quiet. Breakfast was fairly good - plenty of variety and quality was good. Staff in reception were friendly and efficient. I would stay again and recommend it if you want a budget option in a good location.

The room was nothing like the rooms advertised in the website, this is not in my opinion a 4 star hotel. The room was tiny, single bed, leaking fridge meant a puddle of water in the room, the walls were thin and you could hear every footstep (and everything else!!) above and either side. The furniture was old and decrepit and the bed hard. You cannot lock the doors from the inside and the loveless of noise at night is high, it is impossible to sleep.

I stayed here for 2 nights in February. I only booked it 48 hours before arrival and paid 58 euro per night, which I thought was excellent value. The hotel is modern and seems to be on 10 floors, athough I did not go above the second where my room was. The reception is staffed 24 hours a day and the people speak good English. The place was very clean and my room was larger than I expected - think American rather than European size hotel rooms. Breakfast was included in the price and was good quality and range. I will happily stay again. I paid 60 euro for a taxi from the airport at midnight. I decided to take the train for the return journey which costs 6.80 euro. To get to the railway station turn left outside the hotel on via Roma, walk 20-25 min and the station is infront of you. It is very easy to navigate even if you speak no Italian. The ticket office is staffed by English speakers plus there are ticket machines, the screen information is extremely clear and the trains are very efficient. It takes 70 minutes from the Palermo central station to the Palermo airport station. The train station at the airport is within the airport building. There are two trains an hour from Palermo Central station to Palermo Airport.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was good. This hotel was in a perfect location for shopping and sight-seeing. There were several terrific restaurants less than 2 blocks away. The lobby bar was friendly and manned by the reception staff. Also, it is very affordable.
