It’s an attractive enough hotel in good proximity to the major attractions. It’s a 15 euro taxi ride for the train station and 50 euro ride to the airport. I got a good rate of $99 per night with Trip Advisor Plus. I think what Trip Advisor Plus is doing is offering good rates at decent hotels that need a boost in their ratings, which I am ok with as a concept. The side street it is on was dark at night and a bit sketchy; they should really speak to the City about putting up some lights. The internet only worked in the lobby, and I had to call reception to have them turn the AC on. My room was on the second floor near the atrium so I could hear most of what went on the lobby when the AC was not on. There was no luggage rack in the room and my suitcase did not fit in the closet. They had SKY TV so some channels could be viewed in English. To use the spa sauna and jacuzzi area, they wanted 30 euro (~$35 US) and that was the guest rate. Had they offered a little bit more of a discount, I would have partaken of it. The gym was sufficient and the breakfast on the roof top was pleasant. The front desk printed my Covid test for me, booked my taxi back to the train station, and handed me a breakfast bag upon my early morning departure.…

We stayed for two nights at the end of May. We could not have been happier with the location and the staff. From check-in to check-out, the staff at the reception desk were friendly and helpful making restaurant reservations for us and providing recommendations. The hotel is ideally located in the historic old part of the city, near the marina and Via Vittorio Emanuele, the main thoroughfare in Palermo, so it was easy to access the various points of interest. We enjoyed breakfast on the terrace. There was no self-serve buffet, but we made our selections, and the plates were brought to our table. Service was efficient and the choices were broad. We also enjoyed cocktails on the terrace one afternoon and again had great service as well as an interesting view. The room was clean and spacious, with a large bath, but it was a bit dark. There was a desk, and plenty of outlets for phone and laptop charging. Our room faced the side street, but noise was not an issue. This was our second trip to Palermo, and we definitely preferred this location and hotel to our choice the first time.…

We can’t leave a proper review as we wasn’t allowed to stay at the hotel. Please please do not book this hotel unless you have a negative covid result and certification to prove it. We booked via booking.com and they don’t nothing to warn of us this change. Staff were helpful in finding us another hotel but as with most things in the world right now even hotels 5 minutes apart seem have inconsistent rules.

Response from Daniela Fusi, Direttore generale at Hotel Porta Felice
Responded 13 Oct 2020
Dear Customer, I'm sorry you couldn't stay with us. The regulations in force in Italy regarding the prevention of Covid contagion provide that tourists from countries at risk arrive with a swab carried out no later than 72 hours before arrival. Alternatively, fiduciary isolation is envisaged. We are trying, when we have a valid e-mail adress, to notify all incoming customers. Today it is very difficult to work in these conditions, but we try to keep all measures for the safety of our customers and our staff. Thanks anyway for your review and we hope to see you again in teh future ! Best regards

Good location - though the street/alley on which the hotel is located is a bit off-putting. Comfortable room, OK AC. Not noise-proofed from the street which means you get an early wake-up call. Friendly staff - especially the restaurant staff Nice rooftop restaurant - we ate there the night we arrived. It was very good. (thereafter we ate at Cagliostro -highly recommended) Good breakfast - though the coffee is not up to the standard of the food. One niggle: When I paid the bill the night before we left, the hotel's machine would not process my card. Luckily, I only had the dinner and city tax to pay, so I had enough cash to cover it and to pay the taxi to the airport in the morning. My card had worked fine at Cagliostro restaurant about 15 minutes earlier and worked fine at the airport.…

This Hotel has a great location for walking into the city of Palermo. On a quiet side street the hotel is perfect. You can have paid parking which is helpful. The staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint was this was a "Spa" Hotel but they charged the guests to use it.
