| I stayed in Palermo House mixed dorm for 7 days and had a great experience. I even received a discount for paying for the entire stay up front. There are two main draws to this hostel. The first is location. Located right in the heart of the Palermo neighborhood its close to metro, and many restaurants, shops and clubs. The second is social atmosphere of the hostel. The large common room is the heart of the hostel. The large kitchen area, dining area, outdoor terrace, reception, and tv area are all connected in one large space. There is no real privacy, which is actually a great way to meet other travelers. If your looking for privacy and quiet time this might not be the best place for you. Each night everyone gathers around common room and plans to go to clubs, shows, etc. The staff is really good to at helping with tips on where to go. The hostel offers cheap dinners on Tues, Thurs, and Sat. When I was there I joined in for the Mexican night and had as much tacos and beers as I could eat and drink. It was great! The only major drawback was the shared bathrooms, which were a bit dirty. Definitely recommend a stay at Palermo House! |
