To visit Palermo, I would recommend this hostel every time! The owner is working hard every day to keep the place spotless, and gave great super local tips (for example to find cigarettes at 10pm on a Sunday - impossible in Italy haha - and a local clothing sale where I found some great stuff!) and very helpful with any question you have. The location is perfect in my opinion, 5 min easy walk from train station but also in a quiet and safe space of Palermo. The privacy of the pod beds, kitchen and bathroom super clean, the doorman of the building is also very sweet! When there are a lot of people in the hostel it’s social, with less it’s very quiet and chill so you can get both :) 1-2 mins walking to supermarket, large bar to get coffee/gelato/food/cigarettes and sit outside, and TIM phone shop, so it’s the place you have everything you could need right there.

All hostels in Palermo

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The staff is very helpful and nice. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioner works properly. The hostel is very clean and safe. It's a stone's throw from the main attractions. Offering still and sparkling water for free was the cherry on top for me. It's worth every penny.

    I loved the shared space with couches etc. where you could meet other young people, I appreciate the age limit and the female-only room option. The bedroom was clean and well kept - I liked the bathroom a lot, it allowed enough privacy despite being shared. There were also all the extra things travellers would need which is great (shampoos, blow dryers…) The staff was very young and friendly too. I felt safe and welcomed there from the moment I stepped in. And the location of this hostel? Absolutely perfect!
