Staying in Palermo for 5 nights in late April. Will do a couple of day trips by train. Need recs for nice hotels (not top luxury) in a safe neighborhood. Is the train station neighborhood safe? Thanks.

We stayed at the Locanda Santamarina Dimora di Charme. It’s on a side street off the Via Maqueda the primarily pedestrian only street that runs through the neighborhood, from near the train station to the Opera House and beyond. The hotel is only about a year old. It’s in a renovaed historical mansion. The room was very comfortable and the staff were excellent. We would stay again.

We stayed at B&B Delle Vittorie for four days before our RS Sicily tour and loved the location and staff (as well as Palermo). It sits on a corner on Via Makada. I was concerned about street noise since our room was on Via Makada, but the windows did a great job of blocking noise.

I’ve also stayed at the B&B Delle Vittorie and highly recommend it. It’s in a great location; I was traveling solo & felt very safe.
I wouldn’t stay near the train station.
