12 Meridiano Hostel Boutique
Rating: 8.9
Dorm: from $14.98/night
Private Room: from $37.53/night
Based on our data, Meridiano Hostel Boutique has the cheapest price on Hostelworld.
Meridiano Hostel Boutique's is a 1920 mansion, one of the first ones in the neighbourhood. Originally, this place belonged to the Micheri Family. Some years later, it became a dressmaking academy on a national level called “La Victoria” [The Victory] where, for instance, the custom used by Madonna in the movie “Evita” was made and, then, tried by Madonna herself. In 1991, some scenes of Julia’s Tango were filmed here. Unfortunately, the mansion was abandoned and usurped after that and it suffered deterioration. Anyway, our conexion with this house was like love at first sight; and that is why we undertook a hard restoration work, getting to build the hostel it is now. During this hard work of renewal, we seeked to respect the old style of the house recovering that original magic it had. On the highest floor, we have a rooftop where you can get the best view of Palermo. This is neither a traditional hostel nor a 5 stars hotel. We do not follow standards, either....
