Loved everything! Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in (and I’ve stayed in a lot). Like a 5 star hotel but with all the good vibes of a hostel. Can’t recommend enough. The staff were amazing (shout out to Juan and Julia) 🫶🏼

I didnt expect such a high quality in a hostel in Sicily. The place is new, perfectly equiped, great interesting ethnographic design, bathrooms are totally new and perfectly clean, each guest has its private bed, the kitchen is big and clean, there is a balcony, great common room and a terrase. The stuff is highly professional and well-mannered and really put lots of efforts in providing high quality service. I was satisfied with every detail of this place and of my stay. I had a bad experience with 2 other hostels and especially their owners in Sicily and therefore I would definetely recommend you to choose this one since its a way better in all aspects than what you can find in Palermo and probably even in all Sicily. Thank you for you work.

Booked a bed in dorm, was surprised that there were no bunk beds just 5 single beds. Wi-Fi was ok, everywhere was clean. Room was noisy as it’s in front of VIA ROMA street but it was nice to stay in the balcony and enjoy how crazy they drive in Palermo.

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!
