About
Room & Breakfast Zero
Room & Breakfast Zero operates from two addresses: check-in happens at Via Rosario Gregorio 36, while the rooms are at Via Paolo Balsamo 22 – a few steps apart in Palermo's bustling center. It's a 5-minute walk from Orto Botanico and close to the central station, making it a practical base for exploring the city or catching a train.
The property runs as a bed & breakfast with a compact set-up: luggage storage, paid airport shuttle, bike rentals, and a daily breakfast. Staff earn consistently high marks for their warmth and problem-solving, and rooms come with soundproofing, air conditioning, and minibars. Pets are welcome for a fee.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Staff go above and beyond — Guests repeatedly mention the team's warmth and resourcefulness – from helping arrange transport during a traffic accident to accommodating a late check-out. The staff rating of 9.6 is the highest category score.
- Unbeatable location for train travel — Palermo Centrale is described as a 2-minute walk, with the market and metro also nearby. Orto Botanico is a 5-minute walk. It makes the B&B a practical pick for arriving or departing by rail.
- Clean, comfortable rooms with a touch of luxury — Guests praise spacious, spotless rooms, comfortable beds, and bathrooms they call 'awesome' and 'luxurious.' Small details like balloons seem to be a signature touch.
- Solid breakfast spread — The included breakfast is a recurring positive, with guests noting both variety and taste. It's a dependable start to the day.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in happens at a different address — You'll check in at Via Rosario Gregorio 36, not the room location on Via Paolo Balsamo. It's only a short walk, but it's an extra step after arrival.
- Self check-in may feel impersonal for some — While several guests found the process smooth and well-illustrated, others might prefer a traditional front desk. The B&B does offer express check-in/out options.
- Street noise potential from central location — The B&B sits in a busy area near the station and market. Though rooms are soundproofed, some light sleepers may still notice urban sounds.
- Rating is slightly below the area average — With an 8.7 overall, it's a little under Palermo's average of 8.9. Still strong, but not the top spot in the neighborhood.
