Of course, the rooms were clean but very modestly furnished, and the hotel's best days are behind it - the same applies to breakfast.

Breakfastcomplaints rising: 5.6 in 100 a year ago, 8.1 now7621Mostly good
BUT, the breakfasts on the 6th floor, with a terrace overlooking the city, more than compensated for that!

The breakfast was excellent.

Only downside: the orange juice at breakfast had a strange taste.

In short, the Palladium Palace is an ideal choice for those seeking comfort, elegance, and practicality all in one, with excellent value for money and a truly welcoming atmosphere.
Google, October 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
But this is not a 4 star hotel as they claim to be, and definitely not worth the 4 star price they are charging.

The AC only goes down to 20, so that was a little hot when we would come back.
Tripadvisor, May 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
First, they advertised as having AC but they turn it off and you are left in a hot stuffy small room.

Problems in the bathroomcomplaints rising: 2.4 in 100 a year ago, 8.7 now18 of 2991 in 17 reviews
Unfortunately, the bathroom had a persistent sewage smell, and the rooms were really quite small.
Google, March 2026, rated 3/5 by this guest
The bathroom doesn't even have a shower booth, so it gets flooded.

Harassment or discrimination2 of 299 reviews
We were told this was because it is a “dangerous area.” Jelena also made racist comments implying that “we don’t know how Italy works” when we explained that we haven’t experienced this in any other Italian hotel.

A physical hazard2 of 299 reviews
After one shower, the bathroom floor was completely flooded, and my 4-year-old daughter slipped on the wet floor, clearly showing a serious and unacceptable safety issue.
