Hotels near Catania-Fontanarossa Airport

Pros: Excellent location! Short walking distance from the Piazza Duomo and near all buses. Very good breakfast. Very kind stuff! Highly recommended!

Pros: B&B is centrally located with 5 minutes walk to the city enter and Via Etna. Francesco and Cristina are very warm welcome people always helpfull and very polite. The put a personal note int theire B&B. The breakfast is amazing with fresh fuit salad and warm Cornettis :-)

Pros: We went to Catania for our honeymoon. We had a great time at B&B Bianca. Francesco is a very friendly host who made we every effort to make nice suggestions for places to visit and good restaurants to go to. Every morning we had a great breakfast prepared by Francesco, fresh fruit, great croissants and pastries from the local bakery and savoury food too along with fresh juice. Francesco makes great coffee too. I would highly recommend this B&B, it is at the heart of the city centre and very close to the bus station making it very easy to visit other places. The apartment was big, with a kitchen and living room and air condition which was much needed as it was rather hot when we visited. It has very nice views of the rooftops of nice nearby buildings.

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 felt so safe being there by myself. Cristina even offered to make a dinner reservation for me on my first night to get me started on my trip in Catania. I would recommend this b&b to any friend who goes to catania.

Pros: The B&B was very nice. Our room was big, and bed was comfortable it was very hot weather and the air conditioning was great.

Cons: We had some issues in the bathroom but nothing major. Toilet wouldn’t flush properly and Francesco came and fixed it. The shower didn’t drain that good so we had very quick showers.

Pros: Very authentic, cozy and friendly. When you are in Catania that's the best option for your stay - really centric, close to restaurants and all places of interest. They have rooms and apartments.

Pros: 5 star breakfast, and very accommodating and helpful host. Also my room had a great view over the old town roofs with 2 balcony doors and a constant breeze.

Pros: Location, the hosts, breakfast and decoration

Cons: A/C is hard to control

Pros: Tasty Sicilian breakfast! Great coffee!

Pros: A big couch in a quite big room, right in the center of city!. Breakfast was beyond my expectations. The bed was comfortable too. No noise! I basically dont need any more from the place I stay. Do not hesitate to proceed.

Cons: The two-winged door of our room needs to be safer. fixed wing of it can be released from its place easily. I am sure they will take care of it.

Pros: Location, friendly host, comfortable bed and spacious room.

Cons: Private bathroom separate from room. Cramped breakfast space.

Pros: We have booked this place based on good recommendations, but it is not even close to the reality. In a short distance from piazza Duomo, fish market and all what is about to see in the city. It is home away from home and Teresa, the owner is conducting it all. From the entrance, we could feel her touch to every detail, she have traveled a lot around and this is shown on the beautiful accessories decorating the whole place. The room is actually 2 rooms, a master bedroom and a living room with a kitchen. High amazing ceilings, fishbone wooden floor combined with decorated ceramic tiles. The room is very spacious and clean. Large high wooden doors take you to two small balconies with beautiful flowers. The breakfast is served in the kitchen and it is like you are sitting in your own dining table at home. All food is organic, huge selection and all is tasty. If we will come back again to Catania, no doubt- we are returning here. Thank you Teresa for making it an amazing memorable vacation

Cons: nothing ! it was all just perfect

Pros: Professionally run, very clean, comfy bed, amazing b/fast and best location in Catania!

Cons: Liked everything.

Pros: Crociferi is in a great location for exploring the vibrant city of Catania. Teresa was exceptionally helpful with advice about travel from the airport and local attractions. The rooms were lovely and full of character. Breakfast around the table with other guests was great fun.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Great location. Room comfortable and very clean. Terese the owner and her husband are lovely. Great trattoria downstairs La Deliziosa. Very early flight to Rome, Terese packed a breakfast for us which kept us going nearly all the way home to Melbourne.

Pros: The room was comfortable, big and nicely furnished. The breakfast was extensive and had lots of options to chose from. Teresa was kind and welcoming. We only stayed for one night but we had a very nice stay.

Pros: The location, and the parking within the property, though one is charged 10 euros per day for use thereof

Cons: The cheaper rooms on the first level have their bathrooms outside the room, across the hall, and have air conditioners whose thermostats can't be controlled by the "renter". The upper floor rooms are much spacier with bathroom inside. Ours had a kitchen, but a stove/oven that wasn't to be used, and no plates, pots, utensils etc.

Pros: Instantly felt at home in this wonderful B n B. Teresa is kind, welcoming and authentic. We loved the location, and our breakfast with the other guests every morning. It was a special experience!

Pros: A very pleasant place to stay. Located in an old palazzo, the room was large with nice high ceilings. It was well decorated with much more style and panache than what you might find at a chain hotel. Teresa was very friendly and happy to help plan an excursion to Mount Etna or an airport transfer. The breakfast was of a high standard and included a number of delicious local products.

Cons: The lift was a bit slow, which is to be expected in an old building.

Pros: Nice atmosphere, perfect location

Cons: My wife and I arrived with my boy as 3rd person. They charged me extra 20 euros but could not add extra bed. We left early so we didn’t have breakfast also. So for that extra charge we got nothing. In all other hotels we stayed in Italy we were charged but we got extra bed. To make things worse the two beds in the room are the narrowest in my 10 day stays in Italy. I had the worst sleeping during my stay with my wife on one small bed.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff. A quiet hotel with a welcoming athmosphere.

Pros: the staff and was very clean. Breakfast basic for a 4star hotel

Cons: the location and the forniture (very old)

Pros: Staff will do everything to help you and sort out any request.

Cons: View from the room could have been better but I loved the hotel nonetheless.

Pros: Super amazing staff. They receptionist escorted me out to the street to help me park the car.

Pros: The decor was great

Pros: Excellent location above all and very close to a guarded parking lot with very reasonable prices. There is a shared kitchen all tenants can use that is equiped with everythind one might need.

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.

Cons: The air conditioner was loud. After we checked out of the b&b the host asked us to rate them with 10.

Pros: Location was perfect, the room was ok and ac worked perfectly.

Cons: Towels not changed, not cleaned, wifi not working

Pros: if you want to be in the centre of town this is the place to be. Very close to restaurants bars and shops. There is a small shared kitchen where you can cook a meal or make coffee.

Cons: Parking on the street is a crime. You can park your car a five minutes walk from the appartment. This is a secured parking.

Pros: Great location. It was really helpful to simply have own key for entry and exit when you like. Rooms were spacious and with quiet air conditioning so you could leave it on at night and still sleep easily.

Cons: We didn’t use the shared kitchen space.

Pros: Centre

Cons: It was.fine and easy to reach my goal

Pros: Nice place and big room. Perfect experience

Pros: very good location.

Cons: i had asked in advance if it was a problem when we arrive at 1am because our plane arrived late and was told it was no problem. when we arrived we were asked to pay 14€ "city tax" by the receptionist. we saw online that city tax was only 1 to 1,50€ per person, so we didn't want to pay it, because we weren't told about that in advance. the receptionist was very insistant and then called someone (the owner?) because his english was better, who said the 10 euro were an extra fee for our late check in and only the 4 euro was city tax. but that there was a problem with the water so we could talk about that in the morning. in the morning someone had texted me on whatsapp if everything was ok. at the reception they again wanted the money from us and then we again talked on the phone and were told we only had to pay the 4 euro because of the problem with the water (that was leeking out of underneath the shower). after we had left he asked me to leave a 10 point review here, which unfortunatly i cannot. long story short: if you charge for late check in, please put that on your website + inform your guests about it before they arrive, espically if they ask you if a late arrival is a problem.

Pros: the staff messaged me everyday to see if everything is oki

Pros: Location, kind host, cleanliness

Cons: Noise from the street

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

Cons: The room was so hot we couldn't sleep. The AC in the room was set up to 16 degrees throught the whole night but it felt like there was no cooling at all and we could barely sleep due to the heat.

Pros: Thank You Carmelo.

Pros: The friendliness of the host. Carmelo was very welcoming.

Cons: The breakfast could be better.

Pros: Great location. Lovely room in an old Palacio but with modern facilities. For breakfast you get a voucher to use in a v nice cafe 50 meters away. . Coffee, juice, brioche.

Pros: Very central location, near all of the main attractions. Anyone good on their feet can easily travel about Catania from this location. 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: Located a block away from the University square!! Book this B&B and you will not be disappointed!!! Our group stayed in 3 of the four rooms available. Each room can comfortably fit 5 people and maybe 6 if one person uses the foldable cot. The rooms are like a “loft style”. If you have small children just make sure they don’t climb the stairs to the upper part of your room. Bathroom is clean. There is a refrigerator but make sure it’s plugged in as they don’t plug it in 24/7 to save energy. Check in was easy even if we arrived in the evening. Beds are firm but still comfortable. Parking is on the street - we had problems with this but our host accommodated to help us! Food options and restaurants are just a few steps away. Fun fact: Bellini, the music composer, worked in this building!!! Our host told us this fact... Very cool!

Cons: There’s no elevator so if you have big luggages, you’d have to bring it up 3 flights of stairs.. the B&B is located on the 2nd floor.

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: Carmelo greeted us and helped carry our suitcases up the stairs. It is on the 2nd floor. He was so lovely and welcoming. I stayed with my husband and 6 year old son and we felt the room was big enough. It had double windows that block out any street noise. It is in the best location with everything right outside your door. The room was so clean! It was absolutely spotless. I was so impressed because I am O.C.D! Not a spec of dust to be seen. Breakfast was good. Got a pastry, juice and coffee per person and it is at a cafe just down stairs in the square. Would highly recommend and if we are ever in Catania again we will be back for sure!! Thank you Carmelo

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The Hotel is in the ideal spot exactly in the heart of Catania; very close to all shops and amenities. The host Carmelo was very nice, available at all times and very efficient. Room was clean and tidy with daily cleaning routines. Christian was very gentle and assisted us when we needed. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

Pros: The terrace space was lovely. Antonella and Jean were really helpful and welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable. Very short walk to sights area and great eating and drinking.

Pros: All very comfortable, lovely staff, super clean and excellent beds

Pros: Great location close to the main sights and restaurants Also very comfy bed

Pros: Room was amazing, clean and the entire setup with the common area and the kitchen was lovely. We had a little mishap when the water was shut off all night due to technical issues but given the immediate response and apologies from everyone, I cannot put this down as a negative. It happens.

Cons: Stairs, stairs everywhere. It's not just this B&B, you need to be aware that in historic city centers, the buildings are very very old and without elevators. If you have problems climbing up stairs, then you need to ask before booking.

Pros: Breakfast was okay and the staff was very helpfull. But a little bit less enthousiast would be nice. They kept talking in the morning while we wanted have breakfast quietly.

Cons: The beds are not very good: one was to hard en the twinbed was to old: my husband has pain in his back as result of this bed.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful lady, Antonella. When in Italy I try to speak some Italian - I am a guest - but Antonella spoke such good English, I gave up! The flat was comfortable, clean, and the bedroom was nice and light, when the curtains were drawn, with a high vaulted ceiling. The flat opened out onto a substantial courtyard which was a real treat. Breakfast was very good.

Cons: Wi-fi. A real problem. It worked well in the courtyard, but in the flat - forget it

Pros: The location was great! The staff was super helpful and friendly!

Pros: Feels like at home. Very kind service with Beatrice and Janny! Would come back!

Pros: It was really great experience, The staff was wery friendly and helpful. Also the breakfast was much more better that I´ve expected for B&B and the location is also great. I would recommend this place.

Pros: Location was perfect. Staff was wonderful. I slept great. Breakfast was excellent as well. Highly recommend.

Pros: Ease to book at short notice . Location was good room was spacious

Cons: Seperate bathroom facilities in another area

Pros: The building is beautiful and the staff is very friendly and helpful!

Pros: Excellent location, old, historical property. Room very spacious, very clean. A/C worked very well.

Cons: Very noisy street, windows must be closed at night.

Pros: Staff, cleanliness and location

Cons: Bathroom not in room. Poor outside hotel signage.

Pros: The apartment is located on a side alley along Via Etna. The alley is wide and looks safe. Near to the Metro Stesicoro (approx 5mins walk, 1 stop from bus station, but do not operate on Sunday and public holidays) and the Alibus bus stop to airport. Old building but well renovated. There’s a lift which can hold 1-2 person a time (a rarity for old building). No bathroom in the room, but an external bathroom that was for my use only (I hold the key). The external bathroom is really big.

Cons: Nil.

Pros: The staff are fantastic and the house is beautiful and well situated.

Pros: Perfect location- close to restaurants and points of interest

Cons: Great location

Pros: Fantastic location

Cons: Took a while too figure out how to go in and out, but was OK once I got it.

Pros: Our host Lorenza was very kind and helpful. The bulding is a wonderful old palazzo and the bnb is designed in good taste. The area is very central and lively, full of youth and bars!

Pros: I loved the place because it instantly makes you feel at home, with it’s setting and the decoration. Appreciated our room because it was spacious and had everything we needed, including ac and a small balcony. And whats important when traveling is the hospitality of the persons and Lorenza was such an amazing host, kind and helpful and always with a smile. Will definitely come back if visiting Catania again!

Pros: Good breakfast and comfortable bed

Pros: B&B in city center, Clean

Cons: From the room you have to cross the kitchen to reach the bathroom which is not equipped with a shower. Absent bosses but present cat. Windows with no curtains and neighbors looked inside. Absolutely obsolete cushion

Pros: Arty decoration , middle of the centre

Cons: Many stairs . Sleeping area half floor up and little warm in summer

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: The breakfast at the balcony was nice. The landlady, Melina, asked for our breakfast preferences on the first morning and added those to our breakfast on the following days. The property is two minutes from a square with many restaurants.

Cons: Although I had advised about my arrival time beforehand, when I reached the property there was nobody there so I had to call by phone and wait about 20-30 minutes for somebody to come and let me in. The property is about 30 steps above ground level with no lift, so carrying a heavy luggage upstairs was not a happy experience. On booking.com website for this property it says "we speak your language" which is not true. Communication was a problem, we tried to do it over Google Translate which barely helped us for basics. The property overlooks a car mechanic workshop and a warehouse which are a bit noisy very early in the morning. One day in the bathroom I came across a big cockroach so I cannot give this property very high points for cleanliness. On the day I arrived I made the full payment for my stay and asked for an invoice which the landlady promised to give the next day. The third day before I left the invoice still was not given so I had to give them my address and ask it to be sent by post. When I returned home I wrote an e-mail and asked again and I was told that it is being sent. Now 25 days after my return I still have not got the invoice, so I assume it was never issued and the taxes I paid them have not been passed on to the city or the state.

Pros: Super friendly staff, clean and big room with balcony overlooking a square and great location to explore the city. Beach is 25min walk.

Pros: Great restaurant on nearby square ARTU

Pros: It was amazing! The mostly thanks to Melina and whole her family!!!!!

Pros: Melina was great and prepared an excellent breakfast everyday!

Pros: Very friendly persons, central location

Cons: Old building

Pros: Very nice room and perfect location!

Pros: Location and staff were brilliant

Cons: The building was quite run down, the bed was Small and very worn out carpets in our bedroom

Pros: Breakfast was a very good variety x aircon in room excellent and quiet

Cons: Head board needs replacing

Pros: Breakfast was very good. I loved the room (Room 111) with the painted ceiling. Mattress was comfortable and the bathroom was very good. Location was excellent and close to everything! Very little noise from the busy street. Staff was great and very helpful with cabs and tours. Would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend.

Cons: Would have enjoyed a pool but I understand that it was a palace. Everything else out weighed the importance of a pool.

Pros: Excellent location in a beautiful old building close to great food but in a quiet side street. Very welcoming staff plus a lovely rooftop terrace for evening drinks, dinner or breakfast.

Cons: The air conditioner in our room wasn’t working & it was a very hot night in Catania. The hotel very generously reduced the room price when we checked out.

Pros: Beautiful hotel, big nice clean rooms. Great customer service from all staff & delicious breakfast.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Hotel Manganelli came like a wonderful surprise to me. Located at the heart of Catania city with a great connection to the restaurants, shooping area, attractions and bus stations make this hotel my best choice ever. The staff was excellent and available to help you with anything, the room was really clean and quiet and the breakfast was very good and served inside or to the lovely tarrace. I will miss that delicious food and their espresso done every morning by the polite lady at the bar. If you want much quiet room I can suggest you to choose the room from the garden side which happens to be the best to me. Catania is a huge city though if you will travel with shuttle bus from the airport I can suggest you to take Alibus which will stop you right to the Borsalino plazza. From there you just go to Duomo and just keep walking straight until you meet the intersection Via Etnea and Via Antonio di Sangiuliano where the hotel is located just 50 m to the right of Via Antonio Di Sangiuliano. I had a great time at Manganelli Hotel and I am pretty sure that you will enjoy it too. Thank you Manganelli staff for your kindness and hospitality , I will be glad to came back again.

Pros: Staff was very professional and welcoming. Joseph checked us in and was a great host. The room was very clean and spacious, with a 18th century ceiling. They also offer 24h service, which is great if you need something in the middle of the night. We didn't have a chance to try the breakfast because we had a trek booked early in the morning but it seemed great.

Cons: There was no bin in the room, just one in the bathroom, which is not very convenient when you travel and need to get rid of stuff. The room had air-conditioner which was great due to the heat, but a light flashes everytime it is on, which can be annoying if you like to sleep in complete darkness. We also asked the staff to book a cab to go early at the airport, and they assured that we could pay card, but it happened we couldn't, so we had to find an ATM to withdraw some cash at 4 in the morning.

Pros: FANTASTIC BREAKFAST AND ROOF TOP VIEWING

Cons: ROOMS WERE NOT ALL THE SAME AS REQUESTED - SOME WERE MUCH SMALLER THAN OTHERS, BOOKED 5 ROOMS IN TOTAL

Pros: Spacious room with fantastic decor. Bed was very comfortable. Excellent choice for breakfast which we had on the rooftop terrace.

Cons: Some of the furnishings a little tired and dated.

Pros: We had to be at 5 am at the airport. The staff provided breakfast for us (5 people) with sandwiches and fruit for on the way. Very helpfull and friendly.

Pros: The hotel's location is perfect, right in the city centre. It is also close to the train station. The best part of our staying was the breakfast - good products, different options, amazing terrace with a view towards Catania buildings. The room and the bathroom were spacious, the airconditioner was working properly (just too noisy). The staff is very welcoming, kind and always there to help. We asked for an iron and hairdryer and they gave us.

Cons: The toilet flush seemed very strange to us (too loud) - it might be normal for this kind of building. It was sometimes noisy (because of people outside and also because of some hotel guests). I dealed with this when putting earplugs. No elevator but the hotel staff help with the luggage.

Pros: Locations is very good, easy access by car, easy to remember the way to attractions. Big room, good bed. Excellent terrace for breakfast^ fair breakfast. Garage parking on location (10E a night additional is not expensive in Sicily for parking and being sure you have a place for your car near you). 24-hour recep[tionist avalable for your questions and speaking English.

Cons: Bad doors - you can hear everything in the corridor and other guests could be rather noisy late at night. No fridge in the room. Be readi to climb many stairs, like on the 3d flour.

Pros: Excellent location, great breakfast, helpful staff.

Pros: Great location, great terrace, great breakfast, very fresh and helpful staff!

Pros: Close to the Old Town of Catania

Pros: The roof terrace overlooking roofs towards the port is wonderful.

Cons: During the night you cannot keep the windows open because of the noise from the street until 3 or 4 am. There's air conditioning but given the choice I prefer keeping the windows open.

Pros: The stuff was very friendly, location was perfect.

Cons: There is no lift and the Hotel is on the 2nd floor.

Pros: The Breakfast was poor

Cons: Nice Stuff

Cons: Jim room was not good Pool closed in summer too early

Pros: Short answer. Everything.

Cons: Nothing.

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: Friendly staff, close to airport and beach.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very nice seaside location only 10 minutes from the Catania airport. Nice pool and beach facility for our last day in Sicily.

Pros: Hotel has its own beach with towels and sun beds. Clean rooms and outside. Breakfast is very good.

Cons: Staff could be little more friendly maybe. They don’t change towels during one day and you need to carry it all the time with you

Pros: Location

Cons: Price just a bit high for the hotel. But staff and breakfast wonderful and very helpful.

Pros: Well-designed hotel with beauty garden and pool. Our room was comfy with large bed and private balcony. The breakfast was excellent.

Pros: Staff were terrific and very helpful. Breakfast was outstandingly, quality of the food and the staff were amazing. Parking was excellent and the security control at the front of the property was very good. Decor was lovely and place was clean. Lobby was lovely with beautiful plants, vases, sitting making it a very inviting atmosphere. Lovely stay! We had 2 rooms and everyone loved the place!

Cons: Carpets in the halls need a shampoo. It gets a lot of traffic but it was spotted from suitcase rolling.

Pros: Swimming pool and beach were wonderful.

Cons: Nothing

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: Friendly staff Breakfast was 4 star

Cons: Beachclub costd Extra pay for towel. Not 5 star Everything needs renovation Drinks are expensive and not very good Swimmingpool seats fungy Rooms are old Not a five star hotel

Pros: Good location for airport and Catania Nice pool nice, nicely decorated and maintained public areas

Cons: Hotel seemed more used to one night business stays not those staying several days. Poor communication with guests. Nothing in room to say where and when meals could be taken and Reception were just as vague. Guests were left wandering around looking for the restaurants. Once it was outside, once inside and breakfast surprisingly on the second floor. Worst for us was the lack of soundproofing in the bedroom. We had to listen to the TV from the next door bedroom which was as loud in our room as theirs. We had half board and the evening meals were a great disappointment, very limited menu choices, same every night (just 4 for each course) same vegetables too every night. Pretty boring if you were there for more than 2 nights.

Pros: The staff were friendly and helpful at all times.

Cons: The dinner menu was limited and needs work.

Pros: The reception and restaurant staff were pleasant

Cons: The hotel is not well maintained our room smelt of damp and the paint was peeling the area the hotel is located in is a dump the beautiful front railings have not been painted and are rusting. The bed linen was very old The hangers in the wardrobe are designed for basketball players I am average height and had to stand on frame to reach them. TV channel choices are terrible if you dont speak Italian This place needs a new broom.

Pros: All really great. Lovely hotel, happy staff, great decor and good food in the restaurants. (See comment on what I didn’t like)

Cons: Twice I had room service- just dont bother. Really very bad

Pros: The room was large, clean and the bed was very comfortable.

Cons: There wasn't much atmosphere in the hotel - and as it was the first night of our holidays, felt somewhat let down. We felt the room was overpriced.

Pros: Spacious room, nice green gardens and outside area.

Cons: The Internet is not secure which they are aware of but don't really care. The showers are dangerously slippery which they are also aware of but choose to ignore. The only pathway to the public beach is through a narrow lane used as a rubbish dump.

Pros: Pool area is it's only redeeming quality when being advertised as a fake 5 star

Cons: THIS IS NOT A 5 STAR. Issues with staff, room, cleaning, towels, AC. Really not even close to a 5 star hotel.

Pros: Liked the pool and the friendly staff, plus the a/c is cool

Cons: Let’s start from the location, you have to order a taxi every time you want to go anywhere. It is useless and 20 € every time and it is too far from the city center The room is not clean enough and the bathroom is leaking There is no hot boiler with coffee and teas set and you have to buy the water. The person who is in charge of cleaning the rooms doesn’t clean it in a good way The room is full of mosquitoes and we were bitten all nights The value of the money is high The hotel is far away from the city center The hotel is old fashioned and needs more innovation and redecoration It should not considered as 5 stars hotel. It worths less. 4 maybe

Pros: Pool

Cons: Facility not maintained

Pros: Basics. Dark small rooms, no bells and whistles. Staff were absolutely lovely.

Cons: Breakfast is bread, cakes and boiled eggs. No fruit, yogurt etc.

Pros: Some staff were very unhelpful when we told them our water had been turned off without notice. An older, Male member of staff told us it was not his problem! A more professional lady sorted it out. Noisy roadworks outside our room spoiled our time there.

Pros: Guy at reception was very helpful

Cons: There is no way this is a three start property No USB ports in room No alarm clock Air con made a mechanical noise Sink drain stunk like sewer when I ran the tap

Pros: Lovely Staff very friendly especially Nino and Christian always on hand to help us ....making it a very enjoyable stay! Near to a nice private beach just across the road free sun loungers with good restaurant there too Bus into Catania stops outside every hour or so ( bit erratic but only 1 Euro!)

Cons: Breakfast was ok with scrambled eggs and bacon but not much fresh fruit and just 2 cereals offered

Pros: The bed was super comfortable and we had it cleaned to a high standard every day by the staff whilst we were there. Air con was great and essential too! The pool was lovely. We were very close to the beach, it was just a 2 minute walk across the road. The hotel itself was beautiful and just as it looks on the photos. The breakfast was delicious and a good choice of foods. There are some choice of restaurants near to the hotel but it is about a 30min/45min walk to the main town where there is a huge choice of shops and restaurants. Overall, very pleased with the decision with this hotel.

Cons: The bar situation was a little odd as they have an army base within the hotel who have taken over the bar area, which is great obviously due to safety, but it was awkward to purchase drinks.

Pros: It was handy for a one night stay after a late flight into Catania. The room was basic and functional but did the job for our purpose. The staff were very friendly and lovely and went out of their way to try and arrange a drink or food for us after we asked them about eating.

Cons: It cost 25euro for a taxi there and when we got there it was late- there was no place nearby to get food/drink because it was so late- it’s out of town and in a quiet part of the city. There was a bar however there was no one in it and it was eerily quiet so we didn’t bother. There was a strange smell of drains around the reception.

Pros: Reception staff were very friendly, helpful and spoke a lot of English. The overall location is not what you would expect from a beachside offering as it is on a major and fast road into Catania, but once you cross over the road you have free access to a nearby beach club which great; lovely loungers, sea and sand, and quite good food. Bathroom had recently been refurbished. Easily accessible from the city centre by bus so you can go back into Catania for dinner, which is advisable.

Cons: It is located right on a busy road; room 19 was right next to it as was the pool which meant you heard traffic noise the whole time. Wifi did not reach this room, the pillows were not comfortable, the breakfast functional (cold eggs, bacon and sausages). Overall, underwhelming. If the beach were not a couple of minutes away there would be little reason to stay there, and therefore not good value for money.

Pros: Close to the beach

Cons: It is like a box. A small window. Close to the “disco” that went on to the early morning.

Pros: Right at the beach and very close to Catania airport. Cute and comfy little bungalows. Safe and secure parking.

Cons: The bathroom could have used a little updating. The breakfast was okay but not great and same for the restaurant itself.

Pros: You open the door and you are at the beach

Cons: Loud Music till early morning

Pros: The location was good and the room was OK.

Cons: There was a disco on the property and music was blaring until 4 am. Loud children were playing outside our room until midnight.

Pros: The sandy beach

Cons: That it was near the airport, every single airplane landing or taking off was within earshot

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 location is ideal since it is by the sea and is close to the center as well. Every day there was an activity going. Staff was helpful and the rooms were kept clean.

Pros: The location, and all the staff they were so friendly and helpful and the facilities.

Cons: There was nothing I did not like
