Cons: There was nothing to complain about. it was great!

Pros: The lovely warm welcome and the wonderful decor.

Cons: Stay here if you are in Catania!

Pros: Teresa and Marco are very friendly and helpful

Pros: Beautifully decorated in Italian furnishings and tapestries.

Cons: Inability to control room temperature. Hotel policy is not to run the air conditioner in October, despite the fact that outside temperatures were in the high 70's/low 80's during our stay. Since the A/C was not running, there was little air circulation in the room. Opening the exterior windows overnight was not an option since outside road noises and barking dogs were not conducive for sleep.

Pros: Stuff is really really friendly! It is my second time in this hotel.. And I am very content!

Cons: The end of breakfast should be at 11..

Pros: The rooms are very nice, I stayed there twice, and once they gave me a suite for the price of a standard double room, which is nice as well. The staff at the breakfast were extremely nice and the lady at the reception made a tremendous effort to make our stay more comfortable having a little child.

Cons: The location is not so bad, as it is walking distance from the center, but the street itself doesn't look very nice. You park your car in the street and at the reception they did not explain very well that you could buy your parking tickets there. Consequently, we had a fine.

Pros: Staff vrey helpfull, very nice,would stay again.

Cons: no complaints

Pros: The staff was very helpful and the hotel and room were both very comfortable. The breakfast was also very good.

Cons: Catania is not the most scenic city in the world and the outside view provided on the hotel's website gave a much more flattering impression of the hotel's immediate surroundings than actually is the case.

Cons: $review.cons

Pros: very beautiful and comfortable in details

Cons: $review.cons

Pros: The management were very friendly and helpful; available to provide information on transport, trips etc. Do take up the offer of using the roof terrace as it is a great little suntrap and has some fantastic views. (Terrace itself is a basic area on the roof). Location is excellent.

Cons: The style of the b&b is unusual and felt like a bizarre hostel. Rooms are functional. If you are seeking a more traditional b&/b or hotel style environment - this would not be the place for you. The building was originally once very ornate and decadent; now it is a bit shabby. I travelled alone and the timed light system was scary the first night as it doesn't give you enough time to get from one part of the hall to the next. That was frustrating. a couple of nights was ok. More than that (especially if you use Catania as a base for your travels around Sicily) and you might want to upgrade or skip to Taormina where there is a wider range of accommodation (albeit more costly) but it is still as easy to travel aroud from the same base.

Pros: Staff spoke excellent English, recommended great places to visit and eat and made us feel very welcome. Good central location.

Pros: The room and the building were very authentical, like typical Italian.The room and bathroom are big, clean and pretty. The staff is very helpfull. The location is the best. In the center and quite.

Pros: the rooms are big and comfertable. beutifull dezigen. the hospetality of Jan Lica- great!

Cons: no

Pros: I liked the helpful friendly host ad the spacious, clean bedroom and bathroom. There was free wifi connection if you have your own computer and cheap rates for the use of the hotel computer.

Pros: very big room with big top and good terrace for breakfast

Cons: Very noisily. Drunk people bawled all nighk. Very bad noise insulation is in the hotel.

Pros: An ancient bulding in the city center, 3 minutes walking from the main square of Catania. Pleasant staff and free parking. If you want to stay for a 1-2 days , enjoy the city and save money - Hotel "Biscari" is one that you need.

Cons: Noise from the street.

Pros: very nice people! very very kind!

Cons: too many stairs..:)

Pros: Wonderfull good preserved palace of XVIII century. Just in the historical center and in 300 m from the Borsellino bus station (buses from and to airport, to almost all large cities of Sicilia), 150 m to splendid Teatro Massimo. Terrace with the view to the sea and to green courtyards. We received clean large room (No.4) of 50 sq.m with stucco moulding ceiling of 5 m high and two balconies - to small lane 'via Anzalone' and to 'via Vittorio Emmanuele II'. This street is very busy but closed shutters on balcony's door and door-curtains are good soundproofing. It was guite suitably for us. There is restaurant-pizzeria on the ground floor of this building and small mini-market opposite.

Cons: Only one disadvantage - lack of elevator. It is important for seniors and families with baby carriage

Pros: Good value for money in Catania city center - big and clean rooms, nice breakfast, friendly staff

Cons: Two problematic points: the hotel is on a main road, so some of the rooms can be a bit noisy (Catania bus traffic is quite heavy, but the hotel is on the 3rd floor so it's not very bad). the second point is that the hotel is located on the 3rd floor of the building and there's no elevator.

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: Internal decor was refreshing, staff were in the main helpful and the room quiet for a stop over.It was the nearest to the airport but still 10 mins drive.

Cons: We could not be offered computer facilities to confirm our onward flight and there was no complimentary transit bus available from airport to hotel

Pros: The staff were very hlepful and accomodating. I was looking for an airport hotel with a shuttle for an early morning flight and it was perfect.

Cons: My room was fine but the carpets throughout the hotel are in bad shape. It gives the impression of slight seediness.

Pros: Staff were very accommodating and took care of the few problems that did occur. Easy drive from the hotel to work and to the downtown. Quiet and not alot of traffic in the area.

Cons: Wireless access cost.

Pros: beach, pool, breakfast

Cons: no adaptor for the plug, promise the charge for the phone, then turn out don't have a common one, staff English was poor and not helpful for this.

Cons: Kein Shuttleservice von und zum Flughafen am Samstag ab 13 Uhr und auch nicht am Sonntag. Man muss ein völlig überteuertes Taxi buchen. No shuttle to airport after Saturday 13.00 and also none on Sunday. These times would be the most important times to offer the shuttle to turists. You have to take a taxi wich is extremely expensive and at the end halve the price of the room. For this reason we never come back to this hotel.

Pros: The swimming pool, the breakfast and the fact there was outside seating at the restaurant

Cons: We thought the food sereved in the restaurant was not up to the standard of the rest of the hotel. On most oaccasions the food was barely warm and not hot, service although polite and frielndly was incredibly slow and the menu was monotonous particularly on the last two nights when there were not even any dishes of the day to choose from

Pros: good facilities, beach , pool, location to airport

Cons: $review.cons

Pros: swimming pool

Cons: no early breakfast for at least a cup of coffee for early leaving

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff

Cons: The beach area across the road was not so great

Pros: We had a fabulous time at the Parco degli Aragonesi. All of the staff were very helpful and curteous and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone who wants the ease of being yards from the beach, great pool and a good restaurant. It was so easy to travel into Catania and the holiday was great. We are thinking of booking again as we had such a good time.

Cons: $review.cons

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

Pros: The location close to the airport and the nice room

Pros: * REstruant made some good food (pasta at least). * Close to airport if yo on you way home (But is is not reaally possible to work to airport even it is only 2 km away).

Cons: * Rooms to small! * Resturant service limited (only from 20 o clock in the evning, hence ,ot good for famillies with small childeren). Limited selection for room service! PRICY prices!

Pros: Spacious room, clean and nice bathroom. Nice staff (Alfredo) ! Modern and nice pool, great breakfast, lots of choice.

Cons: The hotel is about 5 min. from the city centre. There is a hotel shuttle, but the shuttle doesn't drive frequently. Drinks and food are pretty expensive in the hotel, glas of soda eur 4,-.

Pros: Double room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Buffet breakfast was excellent with plenty of variety including hot food and fresh fruit.The hotel staff were very helpful. The hotel has a superb swimming pool and offers access passes to the adjoining beach. It also operates a complimentary airport and city centre shuttle. Free WIFI is available in all the rooms. The hotel restaurant meals were excellent and reasonably priced. Parking provided on the site.

Cons: Have no complaints about this hotel.

Pros: Near to the airport, nice green garden oasis in the town.

Cons: This hotel is too far from 5 stars.

Pros: Rooms were very clean and good size

Cons: Lower your food and beverage prices. We stayed at this hotel due to the location of the closeness to the airport. Also taxi that was hired from your hotel was an outrageous price for a five minute drive to the airport. Hotel should provide a shuttle to the airport as it is so close.

Pros: cleanliness and the pool

Cons: $review.cons

Pros: The pool was in excellent settings and very ease to enter if one is elderly. The food and service also excellent when we dined in the evening and the atmosphere was lovely. The hotel itself is a little shabby and too drab for a mediterranean seaside resort, it could do with a nice light uplift. Apart from that we enjoyed our two day stay.

Cons: A little more care on the cleanliness in general

Pros: Pool.

Cons: Still no fitness center. I stayed for a week and breakfast was the same every morning. Overpriced menu.

Pros: The hotel is in general nice, namely the garden and the swiming pool. It's located near the beach, although it's on the other side of the road (no direct connection);

Cons: The hotel is in front of a noisy road; the employees are nice in general but need a little bit more of organisation; we found the bedroom small for one couple and one child

Pros: Not much

Cons: No hot water, dreadful noise of 2 parties, such that the hotel moved us and the restaurant had no vegetables and no salads and no fresh fruit

Pros: View, location, grounds

Cons: Bathroom shower was quite small - difficuly getting in and out-not place to put toileteries, razor. Also the fact that they only change the menu once a week on Mondays

Pros: The hotel is well-located, looks very nice inside, excellent beach outside, friendly staff, moderate prices. All the reasons for delightful sea holidays.

Cons: The restaurant offers poor menu and overpriced. Can't say attendants there were unfriendly, formally, but their look and the atmosphere were exactly so. It kills all pleasure from eating. It's not harmful for the stay in general, though. Simply, we enjoyed an excellent menu in Auchan supermarket, just 10 minutes walk through the park.

Pros: Easy access to syracuse , Palermo etc.

Cons: We had booked for a week , we left after 4 days!Reasons: no breakfast. One day no bread at all , another day bread but nothing else. everyday there was a problem and we were made to feel guilty to asking for bread. And Noise, every evening there was a very noisy private function, we were excluded from the bar because of private functions. At the end we left, we should have done it first day!

Pros: Staff tried very hard to be helpful.

Cons: Amenities were limited - at certain times of day it was not possible to get even a cup of coffee. More applicable to business customers.
