A true 5 star hotel. This is living. For starters, the location is perfect, the staff is incredible and the building transports you back in time. The breakfast spread is out of this world. David makes sure all your needs are met and after breakfast, he makes sure the drinks are extraordinary and flowing, making you feel right at home. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. I highly recommend staying here.

Wow. Lovely hotel that really brings the service A game. In Palermo for two nights, and have absolutely enjoyed our stay here. From the quality of the breakfast, the high level of service at the  bar, the relaxation at the Spa, and the comfort and cleanliness of the room. Everyone and everything was top notch. This is one of the great cost vs service values in Italy. Loved it!

We truly enjoyed Palermo and I can say the hotel and its location was part of the reason. The hotel is perfectly located to so many sites and restaurants. The hotel valet parked our car. Breakfast was good. Beds were comfy. ALL of the staff were very helpful and personable!! All good representatives for the hotel and the city. A special thank you to Nico who was the first person on staff the greet us and the last and take care of our luggage. And also a special thanks the gentleman who was working the reception desk Friday evening 10/18/24. He worked some magic and secured us some restaurant reservations for the weekend. So appreciate the effort.

In August, I stayed at the Grand Hotel Wagner in Palermo, booking it last minute, and I’m so pleased with my choice. From the moment I arrived, the service was outstanding. The front desk staff were welcoming and efficient, and the gentleman who helped with my bags was both courteous and professional.

One thing that truly impressed me was how the hotel treated my friend, who was staying nearby with her son. While she was waiting outside the hotel, the staff kindly invited her inside to wait in the reception area. When I came downstairs, the same gentleman who had helped me earlier assisted her with her bags and even escorted her to the car to ensure everything was taken care of, despite the fact that she wasn’t a guest at the hotel. She was genuinely impressed by this level of service.

My room was also well-appointed and had all the necessities to make my stay comfortable. It included amenities like bathrobes, beauty products, and all the small touches that made it feel like a luxurious experience. The attention to detail in the room ensured I had everything I needed to relax and enjoy my stay.

As for the breakfast experience, the service was, as expected, impeccable. The staff were attentive and made sure everything was well-organized. However, the selection of food, while decent, could use a few tweaks. The waffles weren’t as great as I had hoped, so I ended up sticking to fresh fruits and a croissant, which were perfectly fine. Additionally, the breakfast room could benefit from a bit more air conditioning to enhance the comfort.

The hotel itself has a classic, slightly dated feel, but for those who appreciate historical interiors, it offers a charming, castle-like ambiance. My room was comfortable and had everything I needed for a pleasant stay.

Overall, the Grand Hotel Wagner excels in customer service and offers a unique and elegant experience in Palermo. I would definitely consider staying here again and highly recommend it to others. Thank you once again for outstanding customer service :)

First I would like to do a special mention for Davide, a gentleman who we encountered each morning of our stay in the breakfast area. He made an excellent cappuccino, dispensed and delivered with a genuine smile and greeting to start our day on a positive note. After the first day, he even remembered what kind of  coffee we liked! He’s a genuine asset to the hotel staff, and I hope he is officially recognized as such!

Breakfast, which was included in our stay was a nice assortment of fresh fruits, vegetables, breads pastries, scrambled eggs, and cheeses, plus much more. It was very satisfying visually and to the palate.

We also had nightcaps a couple nights at the bar hotel. They make a great Manhattan and serve you either sweets or savory items as a tid bit to go with. It’s an intimate, quiet atmosphere.

Beyond that, most staff is friendly and helpful. I’m sure it is a very trying job to deal with stressed out travelers, but as a team, these lovely people do all they can to work out issues and calm frazzled nerves, much of the time working behind the scenes.

Our room, common rooms and hallways were spotless and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was bigger than many we’ve encountered in Italy, and the shower pressure was the best we’ve had in any hotel EVER!
Although our window faced a wall within feet of the building, we kept the drapes closed so it didn’t matter. You will see plenty of the beautiful town during the day, and you certainly won’t need the view while you are sleeping. It was very quiet and conducive to rest at night. If view is really important to you, make sure that is known when you book.

The location was handy for us, but you must plan on walking quite a bit to some attractions. There are shops and restaurants nearby, but to get to the street markets, it’s a bit further. Take a map of the area or be proficient using Google maps.

All in all, I’d highly recommend this hotel!
