About
Petrosino
Petrosino sits on Via Bottai in the heart of Palermo's old town, a short walk from the cathedral and the lively center. The building is newly decorated, with a traditional Sicilian feel — parquet floors, wooden furniture, and balconies that look out over a quiet garden or the surrounding streets.
The hotel keeps things simple and personal: a small guest house style rather than a big resort. Rooms are spacious and spotless, with air conditioning, minibars, and flat-screen TVs. Breakfast is served in the room (or on your balcony) and the staff are consistently praised for their warmth and local recommendations.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 12:00 to 21:00, so if you land late or arrive outside those hours, you'll need to plan ahead.
- Check-out is early — Check-out runs from 07:00 to 10:00 – early risers are fine, but a lie-in isn't an option on departure day.
- No gym or spa — The hotel is a small guest house with no fitness or wellness facilities. What it offers is comfort and location, not resort extras.
- Breakfast not always included in the rate — While many guests mention a served breakfast, the rate shown (from $57) may not include it – check what's included when booking.
