This was my first stay at Centrale Palace - and compared to the other hotels used at my various regular visits to Palermo, this one is the least likeable. I was attracted by its location, which is definitely great for enjoying the old city. However, there were many practical inconveniences. The state of our room did not give me any fresh feeling - it is rather plain, in the worst sense, and its 2 paintings would do better not to be on its walls, at all. Horrible side view - even if I had reserved a "junior suite". One full day without Internet, because of some hotel wide malfunction which was never solved. Not even a welcoming bottle of water is offered by the hotel - yes, even one bottle of plain water will be charged. Breakfast, of course, is NOT included (not the norm at the hotels which I normally use). in conclusion, will never go back.
