Brian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely stunning location! It was an easy walk to the cable car and a great way to see Isola Bella. There were a few random hairs on the bed when we checked in but it was otherwise spotless. The breakfast was excellent and the rooftop pool was gorgeous!

Very kind and professional staff. Wanted a different room and they moved me to another room carrying all my stuff. Excellent breakfast and superb espresso coffee like it has to be in Sicily. Love it

Nice hotel with very friendly staff. Room was nice and comfy. great location and close to the center Breakfast was just okay, a bit of overcooked food. Definitely take the parking option they suggest you since there is no way you can find any parking around.

The staff and the hotel were amazing. Walking distance to the doumo square and near by a lot of restaurants. You can drop off your car at the front and they will park it for you.

Good accomodation at perfect location! Would go there again.
Yannik, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Acceptable hotel if you are looking for a reasonably priced place to sleep in the city center. Almost all Catania attractions are within walking distance and the hotel building is beautiful and in relatively good condition. That being said, breakfast was very limited especially if you wanted something savory (just 2 types of ham and 1 type of cheese, the same every day - otherwise they had 4 or 5 different types of croissant...). The worst part was the level of cleanliness though - the shower cabin had a significant amount of mold, and during our 6 night stay they never changed our bedsheets (which were stained to begin with) or vacuumed - actually they most likely didn't vacuum between guests either because there were a ton of dust bunnies on the floor and our socks would get full of dust after a walk from the bed to the bathroom. It's really a shame because this place could be so much nicer with a little more effort, but the current conditions really don't justify it being 4 stars.
Ana-Maria, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was nice but misleading on the website It said parking available when there was no parking they said that they only have 4 parking spaces and you need to reserve it But the days that I was there there were empty parking spots hmmmmmm Catania is very very dirty especially around the market !

April, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel

Could not ask for a better location than this hotel. It is central and walking distance to a lot of tourist attractions. The staff speak English very well which is helpful. They even coordinated transportation to the airport for us. One con is that they didn't have a washcloth in the shower or hair conditioner, but for one night it wasn't a big deal. Unfortunately, we were on the 4th floor and didn't have any windows, just skylights and one didn't open. Out of the 3 rooms we had, only 1 had an amazing view of the city. Depending how long you're staying, I'd recommend asking for a room with a view.
