“I see a hotel that balances modern updates with a prime location in Palermo. Its family studios, complete with cooking facilities, make it an appealing base for longer stays, while still being steps away from the city's main attractions and transport links. For travellers seeking value without sacrificing comfort and convenience, this could be a smart choice.”
