Pleasant Stay

Although the reception is not at street level, the staff are friendly and helpful. I will miss my capuccino served with a smile in the morning and the warm croissant. The hotel is well situated with a nice view of Etna.

Catania stay

Hotel was good, decent location. The bed was good and firm, shower was fine, breakfast basic but decent. Staff really pleasant. There was a lack of sockets for charging and the wi-fi wasn't great. The room had a small balcony and the building was lovely.

Stay away

They could not find our reservation. I have booked a triple room for 74 €, we got a double for me, my wife and our teen daughter. It cost 80 € for one night. It is cold everywhere in this "hotel", the guests had breakfast with their jackets on. The breakfast is ridiculous, you'd better eat somewhere outside. The shower was a disaster, the only good thing there was plenty of hot water.

The hotel entrance is so wild – guests have to ring the bell for door to open and then go upstairs with a very small elevator; the rooms that face the main road are terribly noise. Breakfast is too basic – the same every day. No extra socket in room to charge phone/computer. The property needs major modernisation.

Worst breakfast ever. Long life milk. No fruit or cereal. Just packets of biscuits, processed ham cheese, sliced white bread. I had a yoghurt. Room was large but smelt of smoke

Family run charm

The location of this hotel is ideal. Many cafes and shops nearby also a beautiful park. The very lively food + more market is at the end of the street. Also the stop for ALIbus to & from the Airport is very close. This is a family run hotel and they make you feel right at home.

Cute but a little tired

The hotel is fine, if a little run down. The night clerks were quite friendly and recommended a good restaurant nearby. The room was big but the toilet made a very loud and long moaning sound when flushed. The high and ornately decorated ceiling was a highlight. The WiFi didn’t really work for me.

A welcome holiday!

Hotel is very clean, and its location is excellent as it is near all that is needed during a holiday: bus terminus, train station and to the shopping centre. I gladly recommend this Hotel to who intends to visit Catania I would gladly make use of it again myself.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

beautiful hotel but be aware.

Hotel and service was great. Only two things made it unpleasant. 1. WiFi service was the worst I've experienced in Italy. 2. I was overcharged one day but couldn't communicate that to the lady and was late getting to the train station. I even pulled up my confirmation on my phone showing the daily rate and total. Not pleased.
