I had a pleasent stay in this place , the owner and the 2 guys working there were really nice and ready to help out or to give some Information if needed. The structure was clean ,up to date , modern, and on his own style cute , there was a nice balkony in the room , was also spacious . I liked much ,how you could have that good amount of space in the room. The bathroom was also nice and clean. I would like to say that is not like many others places that you have the kitchen and you could use it and prepare your own food, here is somebody there to prepare, cook the breakfast or and the dinner . How you could understand is a different concept and is nice how it is . I can say that I had a good stay here!

All hostels 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!
