- flexibility and kindness of the staff - my plane arrived late and Sebastiano waited for me on-site to enable me to check-in - thanks Sebastiano! - big uncrowded dorm room and standard beds each with a night table and a table lamp + conveniently located sockets - balcony to sit on and watch the world go by in the street below - location!! close to everything - the main street with the major attractions & access to the sea and the promenade, the bus and train stations, shops, the main historic food markets, cafes for the morning breakfast ... - two bathrooms with toiletries provided - the place is a bit noisy till small hours because of the central location, which is understandable and which didn't bother me at all; anyway, the hostel provides earplugs for those who might find it difficult to fall asleep

I had a great stay at Mermaid Capsule Hostel! The place is clean, modern, and super cozy — perfect for solo travelers. A special shoutout to Kelly, who truly made the experience even better. She’s incredibly open, helpful, and always ready with a smile or great local tips. Thank you for the warm hospitality — I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in Palermo

I arrived after a double booking by "Into Palermo" B&B - warning many of these B&Bs in Palermo are not in accordance with law with no staff on premises. I was rescued off the street by a wonderful woman at 2200 at night, having been initially ghosted by the owner of "Into Palermo" who denied the double booking, stated he had no hotels.com account, I was so upset to be left on the streets as a single female so late at night. Anyway was welcomed at 2230 by staff of Sunrise hostel who agreed to accept a late night booking.

Hostel can confidently recommend the hostel. The location is very affordable, but most importantly you feel the atmosphere of Palermo. There is a terrace where you can talk, a shared kitchen with a stove for one place, so you can also cook. If someone wants comfort and luxuries, let him find another place, otherwise I recommend and will return here if I am in Palermo again. Thank you and best regards!

All hostels in Palermo

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The staff is very helpful and nice. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioner works properly. The hostel is very clean and safe. It's a stone's throw from the main attractions. Offering still and sparkling water for free was the cherry on top for me. It's worth every penny.

I loved the shared space with couches etc. where you could meet other young people, I appreciate the age limit and the female-only room option. The bedroom was clean and well kept - I liked the bathroom a lot, it allowed enough privacy despite being shared. There were also all the extra things travellers would need which is great (shampoos, blow dryers…) The staff was very young and friendly too. I felt safe and welcomed there from the moment I stepped in. And the location of this hostel? Absolutely perfect!
