Friendly, helpful staff and management/owner. This hotel offers everything that's required and the food is as Nonna would make. Many excellent restaurants close by (a few hundred metres) too such as La vecchia Masseria and La Cantinetta. Approx 1Km to the fantastic Mondello beach. We totally recommend this hotel.
We weren’t expecting much after reading some of the reviews and, yes, the rooms are a bit dated but the beds are comfortable, most rooms have balconies and the bathrooms are well-equipped. The location is good- 10 minutes walk to the seafront and some really nice restaurants 5 minutes walk away. There’s also a pool and free parking but what really sets the hotel apart are the staff- without exception friendly and helpful. It really did feel like a family run hotel. I’d stay at the hotel again without hesitation we’re I to return to a Mondello.
The staff at the hotel are amazing and so friendly and helpful. They assisted me with helping with lost property from the UK. Was a really nice stay when I was there and recommend 100% to stay there Rohan
Returning to Sicilly and Palermo after 12 yrs, I recently stayed at this family friendly, 3 star Hotel. Overall, I had a good to positive experience. My room with balcony was to a good standard considering my budget. Yes their is room for improvement i- lift etc., as it does need fresh investment in certain day-to-day areas. That said, the near beach - 10 min walk - location and the outdoor pool were two of my favourites appeals as were the very friendly Italian front of house, Rest. Bar and room service staff. If I was to be critical I would like to see more variety on the food menu's. For me, I had a very relaxing time and short stay here in a very very busy Mondello Beach, the main beach to 800,000 peope in the capital Palermo. The latter is currently European City of Culture and worth a visit for sure.. Will I return.. possibly but if I do.. it will be in May or Sept. Access is best via PMO airport as overland train and taxi way too busy, long for me. …
We had a lovely time at this hotel. I don't know what some of these bad reviews are about...maybe the hotel changed management since they were written but none of them sound like the place we stayed at. Our experience was absolutely wonderful! We stayed at the Conchiglia d'Oro for the last three nights of our honeymoon and we couldn't have picked a better place! Giacomo, one of the owners took great care of us (I don't think he even knew it was our honeymoon). He is incredibly knowledgable about the area and Sicily in general and clearly loves his island. We had wonderful conversations and he even prepared a lovely little apero for us to enjoy by the pool. Giacomo also makes homemade "tortas" (kind of like a cake) for breakfast....the pistacchio torta was do DIE FOR! We would definitely recommend.…
