Would not go back. The space has potential, but it's dirty, outdated, and poorly maintained. Volunteers essentially run everything, from cleaning to check-ins, but much of the dirt is structural and can't be solved with light cleaning. Mattresses were old and infested with bedbugs, and showers had no pressure and no hot water. The vibe wasn't warm or lively, and most guests stayed only a night because it was the cheap. GOOD POINTS: location, €60 for groceries to split between the four volunteers and schedule flexibility, but the other volunteers was what really made the experience bearable.

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 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☺️

I had a really good time at the hostel. It's not fancy, and there are sometimes strange guests. But the managers try their best to make the volunteers feel comfortable. It seems like there's always something going on, so it all depends on what you make of it. The flexibility allows you to do so much. And if you have great fellow volunteers like I did, the time flies.

The work is very simple and the schedule is flexible. The location is great for day trips during your days off. It's also close to the day markets and the nightlife. The hostel itself is not very well maintained (great for volunteering), but not so great for guests (be ready to overcompensate with kindness). Andrés and Maud were very welcoming and tried making the experience as positive as possible (thank you to them!!). I suggest handling everything with them and not the owner, as we had some unpleasant exchanges with him. Overall I recommend this experience as it's perfect to explore Sicily

Mi experiencia fue muy buena, el hostel tiene una muy buena ubicación, Palermo es una ciudad hermosa y tiene un montón de pueblitos cerca que conocer. Los turnos los elegimos entre todos y se respetaron muy bien, las tareas son bastante simples y llevaderas. La cocina tiene lo justo y necesario y las camas son muy comodas. Andres el mánager, es un genio, te explica todo y siempre está dispuesto a darte una mano a resolver cualquier cosa a la par tuya 👌

It was my first volunteering experience and I couldn't have hoped for a better one. The hostel is located in the center, making it really convenient to explore and visit. The work was easy and light, we were able to choose the shifts among ourselves, and as long as tasks were completed, we were free to approach them as we preferred. Sofi and Francesco were always available and ready to helps us with any needs. The volunteer team quickly became like family to me. The month I spent in Palermo will remain a unique moment of sharing, learning and fun. I am grateful to have lived this adventure.

Sunrise es un pequeño hostel ubicado en el corazón de Palermo. Me toco compartir esta hermosa experiencia con una crew formada únicamente por mujeres, ya que los hombres voluntariaban en el hostel. Las tareas que realizamos fueron muy sencillas y siempre se respetaron los turnos y horarios acordados. Sofi, la manager, realmente una persona increíble, siempre dispuesta a ayudar cuando fue necesario. Durante dos meses y medio, el Sunrise se convirtió en mi segundo hogar... Lo voy a extrañar mucho! Fue una hermosa primera experiencia.

Volunteering at the hostel was one of the best experiences of my life. For three months, I worked at the hostel helping with simple tasks, which gave me time to explore Palermo and enjoy everything the city and Sicily have to offer. The location is excellent, with easy access to other cities, restaurants, cafés, bars, parties, and beautiful beaches. Sofi, the manager, was extremely proactive and empathetic, making the stay even more special. I also met amazing volunteers with whom I formed deep bonds, like a true family. I 100% recommend this experience!

El hostel es un lugar como ningun otro. el producto de su ubicacion y la intensa ciudad de Palermo hacen que los huespedes que pasan por el hostal sean lo mas interesante ( para mi). Aqui conoceras personas de todo tipo , de diferentes partes del mundo y con diferentes propositos de visitar la capital siciliana. Palermo es una ciudad unica la cual vale la pena conocer y explorar, desde las iconicas iglesias hasta los barrios a los cuales normalmente no entraria, sin mencionar la extensa variedad de comida. las instalaciones del hostal podrian mejorar, si quieres aventura, ven
