Map & live prices by our partner
The cheapest stays in Palermo cluster around Via Roma and the train station, where 1- and 2-star hotels offer rooms from about €23 a night. At the very bottom end, 38 Aira Hotels on Via Roma starts at €23, while Hotel Columbia and Hotel Concordia both charge from €28–€38. These are no-frills bases, but their central locations mean you can walk to the old town, the markets, and the main sights without spending on transport. For a bit more, around €40–€60, you can upgrade to a 3-star like Hotel D'Orleans or Albergo Athenaeum, which add amenities like a garden courtyard or secure parking while staying budget-friendly.
Most budget hotels on this page fall between €23 and €100 per night, with a typical price hovering around €61. Expect to pay more for central 3-star hotels with breakfast included, and less for basic 1-star stays near the station.
The old town around Quattro Canti and Via Roma offers the most budget options, putting you within walking distance of the cathedral, the markets, and the Teatro Massimo. If you want quieter and even cheaper, consider the area near the university or the train station, where prices start lower.
Generally, November is the cheapest month to visit Palermo, with average hotel rates dropping significantly compared to the summer. You'll also find better deals from December to March, excluding the holiday season.
Most budget hotels are centrally located, making it easy to explore on foot. For longer trips, the main train station and bus stops are often just a short walk away. Some hotels, like Albergo Athenaeum, even have easy bus links to the centre.
Palermo's budget hotels cluster around two main areas: the tangled streets of the old city between Quattro Canti and the markets, and the newer streets around Via Roma and the train station. The cheapest rooms sit above the action, on streets where you step out straight into the bustle of Ballarò market or the souvenir shops near the cathedral. Expect simple furnishings, but also expect character: several of these budget stays are in historic palazzi with painted ceilings, and some include a basic breakfast that fuels a day of exploring.
At the bottom end, you can find a double room in a central 1-star hotel for around €23–€40 per night. For €60–€100, you could book a 3-star hotel with more space and amenities, like a rooftop terrace or a bar. Rates climb above €200 for a few central properties with pools or spa facilities, but even at the top of this budget range, you are paying for location rather than luxury. The value here comes from being able to walk to the main sights and eat where the locals eat, not from hotel grandeur.
This selection is ideal for travellers who want to stay in the heart of Palermo without spending a fortune, and who prioritise location and authenticity over luxury. These budget hotels put you within walking distance of the city's rich history, vibrant markets, and delicious street food, perfect for a short city break or a base for exploring western Sicily. If you prefer a bit more comfort, a pool, or a spa, you might prefer our Spa hotels or 4 star hotels selections. For those travelling with family, our Family Friendly hotels offer more space and amenities, while travellers with a car should check out Hotels with parking to avoid the hassle of navigating the city's narrow streets.
