We are a small, cozy and friendly hostel in the center of Palermo.
A great city full of culture, architecture, good food and night life.
Sorrounding us, you will find plenty of Amazing Scicilian cities to visit, temples, beaches, smooth weather almost all year long and interesting people.
We love to share our culture and way of life, and thats why everyone that comes to Sunshine Hostel feels like at home.

Francesco, the owner, is indifferent to the well being and safety of the volunteers and will blame you for his failings as a business owner rather than take responsibility. The training is minimal for a job that requires you to essentially run the hostel on your own. Palermo is beautiful and my co volunteers were lovely but the hostel was a constant source of stress and daily problems that made it hard to fully enjoy my time there. Andres the manager was always kind and tried his best to help.

i had an amazing time at Sunshine Hostel, which became my sicilian home i'd love to come back to ❤️ the hostel itself is not the most comfortable place to live, it doesn't have many facilities and definitely needs some renovation and care in organisation, but what made my stay wonderful were the people, who bring a cheerful and welcoming atmosphere to the place and let forget about any inconvinient:) thank you all, the hostel's staff and the volunteers team, for this lovely time in Palermo!!

I enjoyed my stay in Sunrise a lot!🌞 The location of the hostel is amazing! It's very close to the historical centre, port, bus station, shops and restaurants. There's a rooftop with a gorgeous view, which is absolutely perfect for spending time with other volunteer friends. The hostel manager, Andres, is very welcoming and helpful. I especially appreciated the flexibility of shifts because the volunteers organize everything themselves. The only thing that could make it a bit better would be to add some more equipment to the kitchen. Overall, I had a great experience! Thank you☺️
