Nice hotel in the centre of Palermo, and with a pair of cheap restaurants very near. The hotel does not have elevator, but this is very normal in many hotels in Sicily. The room where you have breakfast is a few little. The room was ok (unless the humidity, witch is normal in this city); it was very spacious.

Although we were only two nights in Palermo, we enjoyed our stay at the Letizia. It's not difficult to find - a turning on the right as you go downhill towards the sea down the Corso Vittorio Emanuele - and its a doorway just before the first of the two restaurants. No lift, so you need to carry luggage up to the first floor reception (and then maybe up another floor) and there is a degree of street noise - it's not a busy road, but Vespa noise does tend to bounce off buildings - but what do you expect from Palermo? Staff helpful and friendly, breakfast filling, room spacious and furnished with old (but tasteful) wardrobe and chaise longue. Bed fine, everything clean, our bathroom modern (shower over bath, but no shower curtain, so a little risk of flooding bathroom). Guess you can see Palermo and Monreale in a couple of days. We did, before moving on as planned to Siracusa. A good cheapish hotel for a temporary stay.

We are 80 and 75 years old, respectively, and had great difficulties carrying our suitcases up 6 narrow flights of stairs after 22 hour of travelling from Arizona to Palermo. Once that was accomplished we enjoyed our double room in Hotel Letizia very much as well as its location surrounded by excellent restaurants. We had great difficulties finding the hotel at night because Palermo has very small street signs if at all. The son of a butcher was so kind to direct us on his motor cycle to the hotel.

Very helpfull staff. We had a double room. The bedroom was speacious, but the dining area was a little crowded. Nice restaurant just at the entrance to the hotel. Easy access to all major sites down town.

I booked this hotel with no idea as to where it was situated. I did well. It is perfect for a city break and within walking distance of most of the sites. My only criticism of the hotel, and it was the only one, was the ringing of a church bell very early in the morning. I have to make it clear though that this did not bother us at all, and in fact added to the charm of this interesting city.

The entrance does not do justice to the great triple room we had! Beautiful room and bathroom! Would stay there again!

A good location, not too far from the centre and near many good restaurants. Room near reception was a bit noisy in the late evening. Nice spacious rooms and bathrooms. Missing light bulbs in both our rooms and broken shower in one bathroom. Ample choice at breakfast. Would use this hotel again.

We arrived at the Letizia after a stressful drive from Palermo airport and found the friendly welcome we received a great relief. The staff were helpful and arranged for our car to be parked overnight in a nearby garage (only 10 euros). Our room was clean and spacious with A/C, fridge and TV. The hotel is situated near the Piazza Marina just off Via Vittorio Emmanuele and has plenty of cafes and restaraunts to choose from and if you fancy venturing into central Palermo it is only a 10 minute walk to Via Roma/Via Macqueda. Overall we found the hotel to be a great introduction to Palermo and highly recommend it especially if it is your first night in the city.

We stayed 2 nights 8-9 February 2005 and the hotel room, service and location (quiet and handy) are all definitely recommended. We had a triple room that actually provided the space you need, not just an extra bed crammed into a double. We too could have done without the stairs, but that is a very common problem in older Europe. We had no problems with security, although clearly this city has a good number of unsettling streets and a lot of problems to overcome to realise its true potential - dog filth and truly insane road behaviour (even by Italian standards) being top of the list. Palermo has some dazzling attractions that largely compensate however.

beware, do not stay here as the area is very dangerous and my wife was mugged at the hotel door.The hotel entrance has a security access panel at front door in which you punch in a number to gain entry to the hotel and this is necessary because of the nature of the area which is peopled by quiet a few undesireable types some of which mugged my wife.The streets are also very dirty around the hotel.definitely a hotel to be avoided.

We were delighted with the hotel and the ambiance of antique furniture and boarded floors with nice furnishings. We had, in Room 105, a whirlpool bath, which was a real luxury after a grueling day sightseeing. 2 Good restaurants next door to hotel. Bad news was rooms on first floor and no lift. Elderly friend neally walked out. Good location with supermarket round corner and botanical gardens 100Ms away.

A very conveniently located hotel in a quieter street in Palermo. The room and bathroom were very clean and spacious, the breakfast simple but good, and we had excellent service from friendly staff. The price was higher than other hotels but worth the extra euros for the quality of the accommodation offered and its location right in the heart of the old town. If you are looking for a small, quiet, well-run, friendly hotel in the middle of chaotic Palermo, this one's for you.

Our room was very spacious and clean but very dark and without a wardrobe, which was a shame as it was very well kitted out in other respects.

A very nice room, although the building is still under construction, there was no noise, the rooms are clean, and equipped with very nice furniture, that give you a good "Yes, I am in Italy" FEELING. The staff was vrey nice. We enjoyed our stay 100 %. Palermo is a great city !
