The hostel is located on one of the main roads of Palermo, 8 min walking distance from the Train station, 8 minutes from Quattro canti, maybe 15 from Cathedral, and several other locations nearby. A bus route in front of the door as well, and 2 mins from a Lidl. Place was super clean and they did room cleaning almost every day. Personal was super friendly, they give you good advice and have no problem accommodating extra requests. One thing to take into account is they don’t have elevator and the rooms are in a 2nd floor. Everything else was great. Would definitely stay here again and recommend

Very pleased with comfortable 1 BR apartment with well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, terrace, and convenient central location. Easy walk to train station and tourist sites, and bus stop out front to Mondello. Must be able to climb stairs, and be sure to contact ahead of time to arrange check-in time. They are very responsive, but there is not always someone at the desk.

An excellent room. Big, generous, clean, brand new fitout, top floor away from the busy street. Right in the heart of old Palermo, short walk to many piazzas, churches, processions, cafés, bars.

The wifi internet was a bit slow in the evenings, but was okay. The room is above a bar which meant a bit of noise on the Friday night, but I suspect that noise from the street is common in most parts of this bustling city.

Great spot to start exploring. Close to street markets and center town, some noise from the restaurants around but not too noisy at night. Good compromise for convenience and price.

The smell of fried and grilled meat from the street restaurants on the back street do get into the appartment and it is slightly disturbing and surprising.

The room was much bigger than expected.

Our bathroom was not inside of the room, even though it was private for us with a key. However, still not that much comfortable. The location is really central however, on a Friday night the pub next to the hotel was open until morning and we heard all voices inside of the room until 3 am.

In the city center, the family studio has everything what you need for a short stay. It was clean and quiet. It's also very close to the main train and bus station. We loved that the check-in is actually with a person, (not just endless codes and finding your way).

Wifi is quite slow, but we didn't mind.

We weren't expecting to walk into what felt like a 5 star hotel! Wish we had booked our whole stay in palermo here instead of just 1 night. Great location too really close to the main street with loads or restaurants and bars.

The room was simply great in every aspect. Firstly, I was impressed by the modernity of the room. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the room was impeccable. Josef's attention to detail also deserves praise. He showed the care and dedication and puts into providing an great experience The location of the room was also convenient, making it easy to explore and enjoy the area.

I had a fantastic stay at Hostel Josef! The location couldn't have been better, with easy access to all the attractions I wanted to visit. The host was incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable. What's more, it was a great value for money - a perfect experience!

The hostel is very clean and comfortable. The location is wonderful, right in the city center. The staff is very helpful, and the room is always kept clean.

There is a very bad smell in the bedroom.
