This place is too far away from Palermo and is no way near Palermo and difficult to find. Some taxi drivers do not know where Capo Gallo is. Cost too much in taxi fares to get there and you need to hike up the hill with your heavy bags. You need to take 2 buses to get there and takes about one hour

Off the beaten path but the veiw is worth it! Mountainside with the vally to the left and the sea to the right. You can not beat this veiw. and the staff was extremely helpful

Terrible directions and they wanted me to take a taxi that costs 31 Euros to get there. Ridiculous!

The directions to this location were so poor I could not find it at all the first night. The second day, two locals tried to follow the written directions and finally gave up. I only got there by finding the street and inquiring once I got very close. Otherwise, I had a good experience.

That was the worst hostel I stayed in during my trip. It s really far from the city, and you have to climb a big hill to get there. There no indication about the hostel. So basically, I ve decided to move in the city.

do not go here if you are looking for easy access to anything other than the top of a mountain. In the middle of no-where €70 fair from the city.
If you do not have your own transportthis is not an easy location to get to easpecially at night - the access is an unpaved very steep road up a hill with no lights!

The hostel is really nice. Actually it is not a hostel, it is a bed and Breakfast. The rooms are nice, clean and comfortable. Great swimming pool. I didn't have a car and that is a draw, since it is located on a pretty steep hill. It is not near the center of Palermo at all but pretty close to the beach. If you do not have a car call them in advance and they will pick you up from the train station. I made the mistake of trying to call from the train station. First there are no phones around, second when we finally found a phone, we got a busy signal for an hour (it was getting dark...). I recommend that you should do your homework and get maps and bus schedules in advance since there are none at the hostel or anywhere around. You get breakfast for 4 Euros. here is a fridge in the rooms, but no store close by. There is a restaurant at the bottom of the hill that delivers food to the "hostel". Good price, but ask in advance, it tends to VARY.

It's impossible if you don't have a car. B & B is on the hill!! yhe distance is 3 Kilometers from Mondello (not Palermo) and the road is full of holes and stones!!

I don't recommend this hostel to anyone. Everyone is correct about the drive; it is absolutely horrible and even with a rental car you are worried about the car breaking down each time you enter a pothole or perhaps hitting a cow in the middle of the goat path you are expected to drive on. The directions given are horrible. The website said there was internet and this turned out to be false. The swimming pool was dirty and the lady was not very nice. We were planning to stay three nights, but decided to leave after the first. Pick a different place.
