The property itself is faultless. The staff were amiable and went out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Our only criticism would be the area surrounding the property. It was extremely dirty and unkempt but we appreciate that this is out of their control. Transport is limited in the area as the property is located a long way from the centre.

We booked an Ollen apartment last minute since our flight was cancelled and it turned out to be a great choice. Our room was very comfortable (with plenty of room for our family of 4), the facilities were all good and the staff were some of the most welcoming we’ve ever experienced. Highly recommended.

A new property, better for linger-term stays
We searched for a hotel with free (or reasonably-priced) parking that would allow us easy access to the Catania airport for a flight at noon on the following day. I guess we didn’t search early enough, because there wasn’t much choice, and we settled for this newly-built (and not completed) property about 10 minutes north of downtown (the airport is south of the city), nestled in a dense residential apartment zone. We had to drive through a tangle of streets to get there, and there were few facilities on the property, and nothing to do within walking distance. The property’s dining and fitness facilities are still being built. But our room was clean and had all new furniture and kitchen appliances. A great bathroom and shower. The “safe” was too small to put much into, and since it wasn’t secured into the closet anyway, we didn’t use it. The property is gated, requiring the front desk or a room key to open the gate for pedestrians or drivers. This was more of a long-term rental property than a short-stay hotel. Alessandro at the front desk was more than helpful and friendly. While it took some time to find the property, it satisfied our needs and we made our flight with plenty of time to spare.

Quiet place next to the busy downtown
Really top notch place, a safe haven out of the really quite chaotic downtown of Catania. But still relatively close to it. Staff is really welcoming and friendly. Rooms are clean and there was also full sized fridge, which was really nice surprise. Pool, gym, etc. well maintained and clean. Parking space is gated so you don't have to stress about your vehicle either. Besides breakfast, the hotel restaurant serves lunch and dinner, which were definitely up to the task if you are hungry and don't want to head out to the wilderness of DT. Breakfast was good, not too many options but enough. Spent ten days. If I ever am to return, this would be the place. Attached some pictures of the food served.

Modernes Hotel mit herzlichen Service
Wir waren mit 2 Kindern dort. Das Zimmer ist geräumig. Die Ausziehcouch bequem. Mit dem Kinderwagen ist es etwas Schwierig, weil es kaum Gehsteige gibt in der Umgebung. Mit dem Auto ist alles gut erreichbar. Es gibt Parkplätze direkt vor dem Hotel. Der Kaffee ist auch super. Uns hat es gefallen.
