During my recent stay at Abali' Gran Sultanato, I appreciated the central location, which made exploring Palermo quite easy. However, the photos online set high expectations that the actual rooms didn't meet; they felt old and in need of repairs. Additionally, some issues like a bad smell in the building and a clogged shower added to my frustrations. Overall, it was a mixed experience that didn’t quite live up to its promise.
Rooms

The room I stayed in was spacious, but it was quite bare and not as charming as the photos suggested. The quirky decor was interesting, but the overall condition felt neglected, such as old sheets and no toiletries provided.

I did have some communication challenges during check-in because I never met the host and had to coordinate access remotely. While Vito provided some local tips once I reached him, the delays were a bother.

During my stay at Abali' Gran Sultanato, I loved the central location, which made it easy to explore Palermo. However, I was disappointed with the overall condition of the hotel. The reality didn't match the appealing photos, and I encountered issues like a persistent sewer smell and troublesome bathroom facilities that detracted from my experience.

My room was colorful and intended to be unique, but it felt more old and worn out than charming. The thin walls meant I could hear everything from the surrounding area, which made it hard to sleep.

The hotel is right in the center of everything, which is a big plus for accessing local attractions. However, with that centrality comes quite a bit of noise from nearby bars and restaurants.

My stay at Abali' Gran Sultanato was a mix of highs and lows. The location was fantastic—right in the heart of Palermo, close to cafes and local markets. However, the room didn't match the charming photos I'd seen; it felt dated and not very well-maintained. I did appreciate the unique room design, but the overall experience left me wanting more.

I liked the central location right in the heart of Palermo. it made it super easy for me to explore the local attractions. However, I was quite disappointed with the overall condition of the hotel. The room didn’t resemble the photos, and some areas, like the bathroom, weren't well-maintained. It felt more like an old boarding house than a boutique hotel.
