Spacious, comfortable, contemporary. The waterfall shower was a nice touch too. It was the end of our trip and all we wanted to do on the last day was relax, this was just the place with a huge comfy bed. Wifi was 10 euros for 24 hrs. Hotel staff was very professional and booked us massages at their partner spa... More

I start to use this hotel for my business travels. rooms are large and confonfortable, furnitures also. I sleeped wery well, no noises or rumors in the centre of the city, just a jump to "via libertà" and the "palermitanian movida". the lounge area is ideal also for small business meetings. I'll come back again

The Hotel Principe di Villafranca is great for a short stay in Palermo. The lounge area offers a quiet, comfortable space for relaxation with many Italian magazines. A list of available bar drinks would have been useful, as the bar was not tended all the time, though Gaetano, the porter, was very helpful and made us feel very welcome, running... More

If you don't want to be in the centre of old Palermo, we think Hotel Principe di Villafranca is a good choice. We were amazed by how quiet it was, in terms of noise from outside. There's not a lot that can be done about fellow guests who wander past your room talking loudly! We read other reviews before we... More

The Hotel Principe di Villafranca is a quirky place. Its decor is modern, yet it's set on the site of an ancient garden and has remnants of some columns as features. The hotel itself occupies the first two floors of the building, with other floors being apartments for local people,(accessed by a separate entrance). The airport is about 35 KM... More

Located not far from the main street, but a taxi or bus ride (101) to the historic area. Nice, although small lobby and lounge/bar area. Can be a little delay processing a tour group. Staff very helpful when not under queue pressure. The elevator is very slow, so use the stairs if there is a queue. The porter will carry... More
