Best location at budget prices
The hotel is at the best possible location, directly at the Duomo square. As a budget hotel, it meets the typical Italian standards, the room is dated but clean, the bathroom was updated and modern but the shower was very small. There is no elevator but that suits me fine since elevators in buildings like these tend to be clunky, so I avoid them in any case. Breakfast was a voucher to get a hot drink and pastry at the best cafe in the square, which is my favorite way of doing breakfast in Italy, so this worked out great.

Great location to be in Catania right on the piazza. Great view from our balcony it faced the Cathedral and the Elephant fountain on the piazza. Anyone who travels would like this hotel. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Their English skills were not strong but I didn't find the use of English to be strong in Catania in general; you are in a foreign country people. I enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Hotel przy Piazza Duomo
Wybraliśmy ten hotel ze względu na jego doskonałą lokalizację, przy pięknym Piazza Duomo , w sercu miasta. Lekkim rozczarowaniem był fakt, że dostaliśmy pokój na ostatnim piętrze ( bez windy ! ), bez balkoniku , zaledwie z niewielkim oknem wychodzącym na plac. Ale widok i tak nas zachwycał. Pokój był klimatyzowany, wyposażenie standardowe, łazience przydałoby się odświeżenie. Klucz dostaliśmy dopiero o 14, pomimo adnotacji o dostępności od 13:30. Niemiłe wrażenie sprawia brudna markiza przy głównym wejściu.

Easy check-in, great location in Piazza Duomo, yummy restaurants nearby and attractions within a 20 min walk. My single room had toiletries, towels, breakfast included w/choice of regular or sicilian breakfast 7-10am, lobby always open and very nice desk clerk, guests allowed leaving passport (pick it up on way out), have to leave key in lobby when going out, pick it up on your way to your room (IMO a good safety practice). The public beach is a bit dangerous to get to by foot. Kinda chilly at night (February), maybe need an extra blanket. I recommend this hotel.

Most awful place I ever stayed
I booked two rooms with balconies. The hotel gave our rooms to other people and shoveled us into 2 arctic rooms. No applology at all. The guy told us he could give us money back and asked us to leave. It is night time in Catenia, Sicily. There is no elevators. The guy did not allow my husband to park the car in front of the hotel so he could carry out luggage to 4th floor. The staff said that he would carry everything up. End up he only carried 2 suitcases. He forced me and my daughter each to carry one suitcase to 4rh floor. The room is terrible. Everything smell very bad,the mattresses, the chairs, the pillows, the beddings. The whole rooms smell like men's locker room. I have to use t-shirts to cover each pillow so we can sleep. After two nights, the t-shirts and our PJs all smell terrible.The bathroom is awful. Everything is loose and seems going to break in any second. The towels are just some very thin rags. The so called "full breakfast" is just one croissant and one coffee in a cafe across the square. Hotels.com rates it 3 star. All other web booking sites rate it only 2 stars. I feel it is much worse than motels in north America.

Perfect location
The location for this hotel couldn’t be better, it’s right on the Puazza Duomo.10 minutes walk from the ferry station and a good 15 to 20 minute walk to the train station. The fellow who checked me in at night the fellow on the desk in the morning were nice. The breakfast is a sweet bun and coffee at a lovely patisserie across the Piazza. Everything was great except the room. It’s really depressing. Dark peach sponge painted walls with glitter. Old furniture and linens and towels. It has a rooming house feel about it. Definitely needs updating!

I received the same treatment as the reviewer below me. So there seems to be a trend in misrepresenting. The difference was i was so exhausted after 24 hours of travel that i would have been thankful for a jail cell. The room was big. I had some view of VE street. Ceilings were high. Wifi did stink. Tv and showers were mini sized. Staff was good. Location is great. In the number one piazza. The bus stop is close. From the airport you get off the first stop and walk towards old town or wait to last stop. You take last stop back to airport. Wish they gave me a view so i could have raised the score. Only problem is street noise and weird ac that sputters. That picture they show is the train tracks. It is where the last bus stop is. Could use a fridge and safe.

The first of three rooms was horrible. The night clerk really didn’t speak English. He told me that the room included a balcony (and a city view) as per my reservation. His so-called balcony was a fire escape. It had no view. The WiFi didn’t work and the tv had a weak signal that kept dropping. After I gave the hotel a bad online checkin review, the hotel responded by saying that the issue had been resolved, even before they talked to me. Later they moved me to a room that came closer to the advertised description. One on the third floor, no elevator. The third room had no WiFi the first night, because the desk clerk gave me the wrong info. Poor bathroom. Poor tv reception. They made the bed every morning, but never changed the sheets. The man that worked the front desk during the day spoke English and was very helpful.

Started bad, very bad, ended okay
The first night was horrible. The front desk night man didn’t speak English, and tried to tell me that my room was the one that I reserved having a balcony with a city view. His so-called balcony was a fire escape. See the photo. It had no view. The WiFi didn’t work and the tv had a weak signal that kept dropping. After giving a bad online checkin review, the hotel responded to the review by saying that the issue was resolved, before they even talked to me. Later they offered to change my room to one that came closer to the advertised description. One on the third floor, no elevator. The man that worked the front desk during the day spoke English and was very helpful. The others were useless. The hotel is very average but in a great location.
