I were supposed to stay for two months but because of the uncomfortable feeling I got with sleeping in a room without a lock in the middle of the common area I left early, the owner was working from Germany through the cameras in the hostel but was handling my request of leaving really good. It's located in the middle of the centre so you have a great opportunity to explore Sicily and learn about the Italian culture.

My days in the hostel were amazing eversince I stepped inside the hostel. People are super friendly, open to share and to help. My experience got so much better with them. Palermo is also an amazing place to do volunteering. Thank you so much for this beautiful experience.

10/10 experience. Although this hostel is more for volunteering during high season (around summer or end of October) I still had so much fun. The hours worked were flexible and you always had time to go and explore the island. Ellom is a great manager and will always help you. Everyone is very social and there's always something going now. Overall I would recommend this to anyone that is ready to always be socialising and that has good customer service skills for the guests.

This was my first volunteering with Worldpackers and the time I spent in the hostel was amazing. The manager is an extremely kind person doing her best that you feel welcome and it was very easy to get along with everyone. It is not difficult to follow the tasks and if you had a question, you could always ask the manager.

The hostel is one of the best places I've been travelling. All the staff and travellers are super friendly and accommodating I rly felt welcome working and staying there. The accommodation is good and we would always cook for each other. The work is straight forward and fun too as there's always people to talk to and ask for help. Overall 10/10 recommend this place to anyone !

The owner is never there, but there is a manager who takes over. The hostel isn't the best so usually guests complain. Have in mind that you will be sharing a room with the other volunteers, which are usually 5 and the room is very small and doesn't have much light. Also the hostel doesn't have a place where so sit and relax so it's hard to have privacy and quiet time. The work is not hard at all and everyone is very nice, they are flexible with the tasks and hours and it is very well located. You usually cook for yourself but the manager gets the ingredients at the supermarket for you.

The hostel was my first volunteer experience and I could not recommend it more. I fell in love with the city and everyone in it. The staff felt like my family and Ellom, the manager, made me feel so incredibly welcome. There were occasional issues with the building. The hot water was off for some time but it was eventually fixed and shouldn't be a problem in the future. I am so grateful to have had this unforgettable experience. Thank you Palermo and thank you the hostel☺️🥰

In short, my time at the hostel gave me one of the best summers of my life. The hostel, just like Palermo itself, may be a bit intimidating at first, but if you give it a chance, it will be very rewarding. The work is uncomplicated and there is flexibility with schedules, so there is good enough time to travel too. The hostel tends to have a very nice atmosphere and the fellow volunteers (who are now dear friends) were amazing people. Also and even when the hostel has some technical details indeed (like the electricity and the water going out often), the experience as a whole was superb.

I had such an amazing experience at the hostel! The hostel wasn't perfect, but we knew how to fix everything with the others volunteers. I spent a great time with the volunteers and the guests, and i fell in love with Palermo. I would recommend this experience for sure!

I didn't stay the whole month because of personal problems, but i worked for two weeks and i can say the work is fun! simple and work hours are respected. The hostal sometimes have some issues because it is an old building but nothing that can't be fixed fast i recommend investigating the city before going, it's not for everyone and sometimes can be shocking, but it's super fun if you're looking to party, I met beautiful people in the hostel, the other volunteers were amazing and Massimo is a really nice host, this experience taught me a lot of new things😃
