Itinerant travelers to Palermo are often faced with the dilemma of choosing a suitable place of stay for their time in this whimsical city. Palermo is rich with culture, art, history and vibrant with its street life, making it an ideal destination for travelers looking for unique and immersive experiences. While there are a plethora of accommodation choices to choose from in Palermo -- ranging from luxury five-star hotels, to quaint B&B’s, to trendy AirBnB apartments-- the most economical choice is to stay in a hostel. Here are some reasons why a hostel should be top of mind when planning your next trip to Palermo!
First and foremost, hostels offer a unique opportunity to meet and socialize with fellow travelers. This can quickly enrich your experience beyond what you can get from a constructed tour or a guidebook. Groups of people from all around the world may find themselves under the same roof and forge a connection that can light up a dull trip. It’s easy to feel truly connected to not just Palermo, but to the rest of the greater global community.
Hostels are also particularly economical for travelers on a budget, who are looking for a place to rest their heads comfortable. Many of the hostels in Palermo offer a variety of rooming options from private double rooms, to dorm-style quarters, to rent-a-bed style accommodation. Additionally, most hostels offer amenities that are not available in other environments such as on-site cafes, movie nights, bike rentals, guided tours and recreation areas.
The staff in hostels are also friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about their city. They’re great guides and are often local so they can give you all the insider tips to get the most out of your experience in Palermo. While researching and planning your trip may be daunting, the knowledge of the hostel staff and other travelers can make your trip stress-free and more enjoyable.
All in all, hostels should be a serious contender when travelers come to pick their accommodation. With the wide range of rooming options, amenities and the social atmosphere, hostels are a great option for savvy sight-seekers who are looking for an immersive experience in Palermo.
