Pros: The location was in a safe part of town, although getting there from the train station was like any urban metro area, kinda rundown. The place was so clean, and hosts so welcoming.

I would recommend this b&b to any friend who goes to catania.

Pros: Friendly hosts Lovely decoration that makes you feel at home Comfortable bed Good breakfast

Pros: Very sweet hosts, great “old style” appartement, full of charm, 5 minutes walk from the duomo, and close to the airport shuttle bus stop and car rental agencies. Breakfast was fantastic, a bit too gargantuan for someone who usually does not eat in the morning, but this is NOT a complaint! :-) Great value for the money!

Plenty of things to do within a short distance and lots of options to eat that wonderful Sicilian food. Great olde-world Hotel that was perfect.

Cons: Nothing in particular.

Pros: The hotel has a lot of historic charm

Cons: Nothing ... was a welcoming place I would enjoy to visit again

Pros: Extremely central location vlose to many restaurants and bars and just outside of the main square.

If you have a car Carmelo is excellent at helping you find a location to park. Carmelo gave out his personal contact information so that you could reach him for help at any time.

Pros: Mr. Carmelo and his brother with the staff Christian were very helpful and nice. The location of B&B is more than perfect ( city centre) . With all my heart we recomend this accomodation.

Pros: Location super central! Extremely professional and welcoming owner. Clean and large room and bathroom with personality. Good price. Very quiet aircon that you control yourself. Cool UNESCO listed building. Lots of charm.

Cons: Very noisy - old building, could hear neighbour's every word, and the fan, flush, footsteps etc. from rooms adjacent and above. Also people coming and going outside my door. A few times it was so loud I thought somebody was actually IN my room. But street noise was really limited, and with earplugs you would probably be fine.

Pros: Excellent location, great communication with Carmelo, room was in nice sicilian style :)

Cons: Although double window, I heard noises from a bar, which is located very close.

Pros: Very, very nice place to stay! The rooms are so nice and the people are extraordinary friendly. The Cappuccino in the morning is perfect!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The rooms were excellent, comfortable, and the breakfast supplied by Constantino's daughter was very good. But I would stay elsewhere on my next visit to Catania

Cons: The room was clean, but not the cleanest you can get. Not to the point that bothers you, but to the point you notice.

Pros: Location is very central. The bathroom is big. In the breakfast you can choose one very delicious pastry and a hot drink, but for us it was enough, because the pastry was big and full of stuffing.

Pros: The hotel was in the core of the city close to the fish market which alone makes Catania worth visiting. The hotel breakfast was glorious on the roof terrace. Every staff person was sweet and helpful. I loved hearing the singers from the little cafe around the corner.

Cons: Depends on one’s point of view. There are sixty steps up from the street entry to the floor of the hotel. Not for the faint of foot but it didn’t bother me.

Pros: Good breakfast and comfortable bed

Pros: Very centrally situated.

Cons: No lift in the building. 3 flights of steps. Cupboards in room packed with someone elses clothing. Have to pass through the kitchen to my private bathroom? Balcony overloaded with plants.

Pros: I was spending the day alone in Catania and am very glad I found this place. It was very homely, the bedroom and bathroom were both very large, clean and comfortable. It is close to all of the main things to do in Catania as well. Everything I needed!

Pros: Right in the center of historic Catania, a few minutes walk from the highlights. Nightlife in abundance , but a nice quiet room anyway.

Cons: -

Pros: Excellent location for old centre, bright, large and comfortable. Host was welcoming and friendly without being intrusive. Great amount of space, quiet despite location near a bar - I slept so well

Cons: Everything was great and better than expected

Pros: If you want smooth grey & white & a feeling you could be anywhere in the world, this is not for you. Lorenza welcomed us with a smile into her fascinating house (a former silk factory). Hand-painted furniture, old cinema posters (from her grandfather‘s cinema at the foot of mount Etna), a lava sink .... a home full of love. Comfortable bed, good breakfast, great location with quirky bars & cool jazz. We won‘t forget this place.

Pros: Location was very central and convenient to all attractions, restaurants, street markets.

Cons: We knew that the bathroom was separate to the room when we booked the B&B but found having to walk through the dinning / kitchen area to access the bathroom was awkward at times.

Pros: Finding hotel in catania is hard. There are so called hotels but actually people homes converted into a hotel. This is an actual hotel and as per the comparison in Catania it’s a good one.

Cons: You should not charge your guests for parking. That’s hotels property. Not a rented space. And check in should be faster. Room service menu not available as per mentioned timings.

Pros: Outstanding breakfast and food.

Cons: Unable to control the temperature of my room. What's the point of having A/C controls in the room if they do not work and are controlled by reception? Totally unacceptable for a supposed 4 star hotel. I must have called reception about 5-7 times because my room was too warm. I kept getting told that the temperature for my room specifically was lowered which is untrue. I chose this hotel because of its proximity to the airport, I was hoping for a good night's sleep and didn't get it. Extremely annoyed.

Pros: breakfast very good

Cons: its nice hotel but needs some maintenance lot of things that need work

Pros: Beautifully designed hotel. Calm and luxurious with very friendly, helpful staff. Room very comfortable and so quiet considering proximity to airport. Would definitely stay again.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Comfortable for an overnight

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very well situated away from busy Catania area and close to Catania Airport.

Cons: Pillows were a bit hard.

Pros: We stayed here for one night because we had an early flight the following morning. Food was good, pool was great, room was ok; that pretty much sums it up ;) (and when the windows/doors are closed there's no sound from the airport)

Cons: As mentioned in a lot of reviews; the bathroom is really outdated. This really creates a sense of "old" for the entire room.

Pros: It was very clean, comfortable and inviting. Just steps to the white sandy beach across the street. The staff was very helpful and spoke English.

Cons: There is not much close by, but it inspired me to take a 30 minute walk into town. The restaurant was ok, a little pricey for what you got but again an over all good stay

Cons: The staffs were not friendly. Rooms are very old.

Pros: Staff at reception, room with balcony, beach facilities, breakfast,

Cons: Could really do with children's pool, lots of kids splashing and screaming in pool takes away fifth star

Pros: Beautiful property. Great location to the airport. Staff is friendly and helpful. Beds are comfortable. Nice balcony.

Cons: Pool dirty. Breakfast was not included. No bathrobes in the room (would help to go to the pool). Safe should be more accessible. Too low and unlit.

Pros: I Like Romano Palace, I am an historical customer and love the building, finishes, swimming pool, rooms and restaurants. Breakfast is great

Cons: Room was too humid with typical musty smell

Pros: Wonderful breakfast, beautiful property..far exceeded my expectations ...only complaint was you needed a taxi to get anywhere and it was about a 50 euro trip to where ever you went..the hotel is about 10 min from the city.

Cons: The distance from city..and taxi fares were huge

Pros: Comfy bed. Size of room.

Cons: A business feel. Little atmosphere. Staff rather lacking in any warmth or enjoyment of their job.

Pros: Convenient location close to the airport. The hotel is a little dated but is still comfortable.

Pros: Location to airport

Pros: I stayed at this hotel because it was close to the airport and it did not disappoint. Great meal in the dining room and nice service.

Cons: nothing

Pros: Lovely breakfast selection and friendly staff

Cons: The hotel was a lot more dated than it looked in the pictures and the bed wasn’t very comfortable.

Pros: First time at the Romano palace Hotel! Perfect location just a few minutes from both the city center and Catania's airport. Excellent service and excellent price/quality ratio. I hope to come back soon for a vacation!

Pros: The hotel is close to the airport, less than 10 min by car. The staff was super nice as well! Ok breakfast with several cake options.

Cons: Neighborhood is not so nice/friendly. Hotel is advertised as being a ‘beach front’ hotel, but this is an area were the beach is gated, lots of fenced parts and we could not really get to the actual beach. You also have to cross the highway to get to the beach. Another note: this is a dog beach, as per signage. Not very nice. Not a place with little umbrellas and cocktails.

Pros: Staff and food were locely

Cons: Smell of drains in bedroom and around the hotel7

Pros: The room was comfortable. The outdoor space was pleasant and near to the beach if you wanted a change of scene. It took about 15 minutes on the local bus into Catania and was very cheap.

Cons: Breakfast was limited with too many cakes. The so-called hot breakfast was stone cold.

Pros: Swimming pool was very comfortable. You can order drinks at the bar and enjoy them at the swimming pool. Staff is very helpfull telling you where to go and what to see. Due to its location Catania, Taormina and the Etna are all in close proximity. I would go there again for sure :)

Cons: -

Pros: It was close to the airport, which is what I needed. Staff in dining area where very friendly and helpful.

Cons: There was not internet access in the rooms. We asked for a discount on the room price, but that was not possible. We asked for a discount on dinner, which the reception attendant agreed to. Mid dinner, he came to our table to let us know that his manager had said our dinner would come out of his paycheck. This after we had already ordered! He did say he would pay for our appetizers, but to have that happen is just beyond strange. Both the remote for the A/C and for the TV did not work properly. And the shower head, despite appearing to provide a lovely rain shower, came out as a single strong stream. This place was totally not worth the 110 euros we were charged, with a dinner charge we could have avoided on top of that!

Pros: Turned up quite late - treated politely. Very nice breakfast, espresso coffee on request. Bed comfortable, clean sheets, clean floor, shower worked. Close to nice beach. Convenient for airport.

Cons: It was as expected but there was only one towel.

Cons: Near airport runway and flight paths. Very noisy. Very bad public transport from there. It was on the beach, but you would have to pay for towels and beach chairs anyway.

Pros: bungalows very basic , but good Access to the beach

Cons: small Windows in the room

Pros: Location

Cons: Price and cigarettes smell in the room

Pros: The beach

Cons: The noise, the fact that the staff was not friendly
