Very good breakfasts, very polite host.
First of all, if you want to check-in late evening, of course you can, but there will be no one to let you in - you need to call the host, so he can give you code to the main door. Why is the point of asking what time you arrive, when there’s no one to check you in?! Also, you can hear everything through walls - what’s going on in the room next door, everything from the outside.

We were happy with the room we received on the 2nd floor of the building - it was quite large and very clean, and also very quiet, just as we specified. The breakfast was delicious, one of the best coffees I have had at a B&B. Check-in and check-out procedures were smooth and I think the place has very good price/quality ratio. Location wise, it is perfect - very close to the center of Palermo and many restaurants. We found a great place to eat for our night there, about 200 meters away.
My biggest problem was with the parking, you can only park on the street where the B&B is if you have a very small car, e.g. a Fiat 500 - we had something much bigger than that so I could not venture on those streets. In the end, after 30 mins of driving around in the chaotic traffic of Palermo, we did not find an actual, legal parking space nearby, so we just left it in front of a restaurant, 3 mins walking distance from the B&B, but we were definitely quite scared to leave it there as it was not actually a parking space, and also the neighbourhood looks a bit dodgy. Fortunately, all was good the next morning.

OkayOct 20195.4
Room was spacious and clean.
Except for the phone call that we gave to the host upon arrival we never met him/her. Keys were in the door. That's it. If you're travelling in Palermo for the first time be sure that you'll not receive any help from the owners what so ever. WiFi did not work the first day. We called to report it but nothing happened until the next morning when some German guests pointed it out and than the staff finally did something. It's funny how unprofessional they were during the breakfast which by the way is a disaster. If you don't come there first be sure you'll not get any ham or cheese or anything savory. They are not refilling anything, not even bread (only after asking we finally got some). On the second day we asked for at least some ham and cheese and lady said they didn't have time to go to the store! Really?! All in all, if you like eating sweets and something that looks like oven pizza for breakfast you're on the right place. Coffee is the worst we had on our trip. Parking is really messy. If you have rented car be careful. Gallery on booking.com should be updated since the room we had is not on the pictures.
