Hotel Garibaldi

The Hotel is centrally located a short block from Palermo most popular street. I has real easy parking on the premises. Sometimes your car is moved by the hotel personnel to an overflow parking, so it is safe to let them know 1/2 in advance when you are planning to use your car. It is clean and comfortable. breakfast was typical Italian; it was good.

the breakfast are is in the sub floor so it has no windows, kind of depressing. The hotel is very noisy. a very strong rumble is heard all day/night long. My wife had problems sleeping. it appears to be coming from an adjacent building; a Casino. If you are a light sleeper stay away from this Hotel.

Place is well-located. It's at walking distance from the port and from the city centre. When you step out, you're basically already site seeing. Breakfast was good. Nice selection of food, mostly sweet though. The only think I didn't like was the fruit juice, it was from concentrate and unbearably sweet. The selection of croissants was great and the eggs were memorable too.

The key system is old-school i.e. it's a key, not a card, with a big keyring that you have to leave and collect at the reception every time you go out and in.
