Punta Grande-stranden

The hotel is located in Politeama area, I found the neighbourhood nicer then the old town, more clean, less trash in the streets. The room was newly renovated, minimalistic interior design, a bit small. Bed was comfortable. Marble tiles in the bathroom, with a narrow shower (almost hard to turn around inside). Aircon was super efficient, we had to turn it up because it was a bit too cold. Room also had a small fridge, but it wasn't very effective cooling down out beverages. The room also had the usual stuff.. flatscreen tv, safe etc.. Cleaning was very good, the maids did a excellent job. The main pedestrian street is a short walk form the hotel (Via Ruggiero) There is also plenty of brand stores and in Via della Libertà (a street close by the hotel) About a 20 minutes walk to get to the Palermo cathedral. There is lots of restaurants in the area, more reasonably priced than in the old town. The bus stop to the city beach (Mondello) is a short walk from the hotel. I would recommend to get the shuttle bus from the airport, because it stops nearby the hotel. Can also be reached by train, but a long walk from the train station.
