HOTEL DEL CENTRO ^{* * *}

Went there before graduation as a group in April 2011. As we are reminiscing the haunted experiences we shared here, the memories are flashing back again!

I was staying with my boyfriend in a room next to the reception, and my 4 girl friends were sharing, they were allocated to a room with a double + twins beds that was on the floor above, but the hotel interior seemed like it was located in another building back to back of the main block, it was a bit complicated to reach there, through corridors that lead to the back, somewhat seemed longer than the building itself by the look of the exterior. There was a small square entrance separating their bedroom and bathroom, the double bed and a single bed against a wall, the other single bed horizontally next to the window, there was a big wardrobe between the beds.

Our room was facing the main road with a balcony with big glass doors and windows so it was well lit when we checked in in the afternoon. The room was an L-shaped room with very high ceiling, and the bathroom was the same length as the bedroom, which felt very empty comparing to the small facilities inside, the shower booth could only fit a person standing without much room to move, it was in line with the toilet and a sink, they were all dotted against a wall, it’s height only reached 2/3 of the entire room, it was so obvious there is another room in the same size on the other side, the bathroom was just the actual room cut in half. We were too weirded out by this and requested for a change but was told it’s fully booked that day, since we were only staying for 1 night we thought we could put up with it. However we didn’t realised the bathroom would become so dark and creepy at night, the ceiling was so high up without any lighting, that empty space made the bathroom very dark and creepy. The only light source was the white light pipe above the sink mirror. Me and boyfriend had the same feeling during shower, the empty dark space above us made us so uncomfortable as if something is watching us from the other side of the bathroom wall. This could just be our imagination running wild in that environment but the uneasy feelings were real. After we left he even said that he actually sensed there were more than 1 presence.

I fell asleep before my boyfriend, and he only told me the next morning that the TV suddenly turned itself on not long after he fell asleep, it was definitely off before we slept. He was scared but didn’t want to wake me at that time cause it wouldn’t help the situation anyway, he just switched it off and tried to sleep through till the next day. I’ve known him for a decade and he never plays prank, and would definitely not make up stories to scare people.

The next day my girl friends shared their encounter in their room. In the middle of the night one of them was woken up by some noise, whilst she’s trying to make sense of it, perhaps the walls are thin, the wardrobe door suddenly popped open by itself. She got really scared and wanting to wake the girls up for help, she panicked and jumped out of bed pacing back and forth between the beds for a few seconds figuring what to do. She frightened and woken up another girl when doing this. Woken girl was scared and asked why was she walking around in the middle of the night like this? Everyone was woken up at this point, so she explained what happened. They tried to analyse this logically, maybe it’s door knob was too old and loosen itself or something, and so they took the courage to close the wardrobe door together and got back to their own bed. Whilst they were all trying their best to go back to sleep, they heard water running sound from the bathroom at the same time! By hearing this altogether they were convinced this time it’s not just thin walls from neighbour rooms cause it was so late around 3am, and they said it sounded too close that it was definitely coming from their bathroom.

Mój drugi dom:) bywam w Palermo regularnie od 12 lat i Concordia jest tym przyjaznym miejscem.
Bardzo miła obsługa, czysto i dobre śniadania.

Emplacement parfait, un Acceuil et un service au petit soin.
Parfait pour un tour dans Palerme !

Chtěl jsem něco na jednu noc kousek od vlakového nádraží kvůli brzkému odjezdu na letiště z tohoto pohledu hotel splnil účel ,ale jako základnu pro poznávání Palerma bych ho spíše nevolil.
Pokoj čistý s dobrým signálem wifi a užitečný personál.
Malinký sprchový kout ,nedá se tam skoro otočit.
Okolí hotelu dosti nevzhledné bordel a povalující se bezdomovci

Doplnění recenze : byla mi už 2x smazána (z popudu ředitele viz. jeho odpověď) fotografie s přeplněnými popelnicemi a bordelem ,který se povaloval okolo hotelu - tímto tedy dávám pouze jednu hvězdičku jelikož fotografie zachycovala aktuální stav na místě v době mého pobytu a naprosto nechápu proč byla fotografie odstraněna ! Místo mazání fotek by se měl pan ředitel snažit aby bylo okolo hotelu čisto a člověk nemusel dovnitř procházet okolo zapáchajících bezdomovců !

Ottima scelta per visitare la città! Posizione perfetta, ambiente confortevole e tranquillo, nonostante il passaggio.
Camera spaziosa e comoda...
Personale cortese e disponibile.
