Catania hotels near Monastery of San Nicolò l'Arena

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: In the center of Catania, spacious room with good facilities. Nice staff.

Cons: Nothing, good quality/price

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: I can`t tell a lot, because I was in the Hotel only one night. The place isn`t a city centre, but it`s take about 10 min by foot.

Pros: Great breakfast Walking distances Size & cleanliness of room Welcoming staff

Pros: Very friendly staff, breakfast very good for the price.

Cons: A bit noisy (AC, people walking outside on the floor, the/my room/s seem to be not very well isolated).

Pros: Good breakfast

Cons: The area and we thought they had parking which they did not

Pros: Large and comfortable room. Good central location, 10 minutes walk from a large selection of bars and restaurants. Car parking easier than we expected. Very helpful staff

Cons: Flimsy plastic foam cups unsuitable for hot drinks - an economy too far! A bit tight with the tea and coffee - but at least had a kettle!

Pros: Excellent breakfast, friendly staff and a decent location. Both the reception desk staff and the kitchen staff were very helpful and courteous, helped us find activities to do in our last day /and recommended the perfect place to dine near the hotel/ in Catania and were generally great. The room was quite spacious, very clean and with excellent amenities. Plus, it was a pleasant surprise that one of the receptionist spoke fluent Bulgarian.

Pros: close to downtown and close to airport - but close in Catania, does not mean easy: they tried to have signs, but the lacy of streets, there, is difficult to navigate (driving!) : but they did their best.

Pros: Great value and great staff Breakfast was excellent and only €3 ! And they gave us a late check out for free !

Cons: Not much around close by

Pros: Good size room with spacious bathroom. Parking is secured and valet but have to pay €9 per night (book in advance). Hotel is near the city centre so that is probably ok instead of parking on the street. Breakfast is only €3 per person per day but could offer better quality or variety. Coffee was free during breakfast and good!

Cons: 1.) Fix your internet. It was barely working. Bad bad bad. It is 2019! Fast internet is essential. It will also help not having 10 different names for your Wi-Fi per floor. Get your IT guy to fix this 2.) Hotel is far from city centre. Probably 10-15 min walk. It is UPHILL back to the hotel from centre. Dark streets between hotel and centre at night 3.) Shower on bath tub with only a small glass pane. Bathroom floor will be wet after you shower

Pros: Bed very comfy. Great value breakfast

Cons: Polystyrene cups for tea . Not enough milk for tea

Pros: Through out my stay smiley, helpful and warm Catalonian staff greeted, and assisted me. Nothing was too much for them. My room offered a glorious view of this gem of a historic city. Through the open window I gazed out to inhale the soft sweet air of a city where so many millions wandered down the city streets steeped in a rich history. My bathroom was spacious, and I loved the floor to ceiling marble. For two days I felt the long distant relative of an emperor. Supper I enjoyed in the el fresco courtyard. How divine was that. A tasty menu under stars and sultry warm air. I enjoyed a dreamy stay at Katane Palace Hotel where the ancient ghosts from yesterday still live on and on.

Cons: Nothing. It was five star elegance.

Pros: Breakfast was very good. Hotel premises and facilities are outstanding.

Cons: Only not so positive aspect was distance of hotel to places of interest, and difficult parking.

Pros: Helpful, friendly staff. Lovely hotel with a lot of character and charm.

Pros: The croissants were great and on the whole the breakfast was varied and catered for all tastes

Cons: Being British we thought the tea drinkers were not catered for: For example there was never any English breakfast tea available nor large cups available (there were only 2 mugs!!!)

Pros: Location is fine; short walk to town Firm mattress

Cons: All but one staff were unfriendly to rude Rooms are bare essentials Old worn out feel to whole hotel Shower changed pressure and temperature repeatedly during use; complained to front desk - didn’t care. Never got back to us Can’t get coffee or tea if not during meal windows Uncomfortable sheets No tissues in bath TP rough

Pros: The location of the hotel is quite convenient. The city center, train and bus stations are nearby.

Cons: It is rather noisy because of high audibility. You can hear conversations in the corridor and slamming doors. Poor breakfast.

Pros: The location of hotel is very good. The staff of hotel is very cooperative. The breakfast is very good there.

Cons: Bardzo twarde materace na łóżkach . Very hard mattresses on the beds .

Cons: A neglected depressing hotel

Pros: Big Room, quiet (side lane), all you need for 2 days. Breakfast is a bit basic - though they had lactose free milk. But I am not there to stuff myself with breakfast specialities. Plus italy is not a breakfast country. (Croissant, Cafe is enough)

Cons: The area is a bit awkward. When leaving the hotel, the consierge advised us to walk on the main road. There are more cars. Areas in Katania often look very run down. So this lane was average. And maybe Katania as such is not such a safe place. Although, I had no personal bad experience, even when inadvertidly walking though a really poor area on the way to the bus. Overall the city is really poor, dirty and feels mismanaged (for a middle European). If one stay on the beaten tourist paths, though, you get the show that you pay for. The main streets in the center are clean, the houses facades are renovated. Inside some of them still crumble (e.g. a previous cloisture, now the state archive, with electrical cables outside the historic walls in the patio and old archive papers, obviously rotting in the light behind the window.)

Pros: The Breakfast room and food are both top-notch. Lots of choices of breads, fruits, meats, cheeses and sparkling wine. It is all offered in an elegant old-world style dining room.

Cons: Everything was nice and better than we expected.

Pros: Breakfast was very good. The staff were very obliging and kind to us when we arrived very late due to a delayed flight. They directed us to park our hire car and took good care of watching it.

Cons: Nothing to complain about

Pros: A nice selection for breakfast, after watching the sun come up over the city - 50:50 chance of seeing it depending on whether you have an east or west facing room.

Cons: Litter, including a tampon (unused) in the flower pots at the front door of the hotel. Door for shower hits the toilet and doesn’t open fully.

Pros: Staff very helpful and polite room was spotless beds great.

Cons: Not having longer there as it was quick visit.

Pros: Staff were very helpful and friendly-

Pros: All very good!!! Enjoyed staying at this hotel. The staff at reception were all great and very helpful. Look forward to staying at your hotel next time we visit your City. Excellent! Thank you all, Arun Dry

Pros: The wifi, the breakfast were very good.

Cons: It is a 20 minutes walk from the main square and 10minutes to a street full of of restaurants.

Pros: Good hotel, as normal NH brand. Rooms was good and comfortable. Outside of city centre, it’s a 15 minute walk so not too bad, but there’s plenty of other hotels closer if you’d rather. Easy street parking in front of the hotel for about €0.87 per hour. You can also take the 534 bus from the stop in front of the hotel (Trento) to the city centre, just behind the Cathedral, Piazza Borsellino. Make sure you buy your tickets first though. Of Sicily, we liked Catania the least. Quite a dirty city all in all. The Piazza del duomo and the main Etna street are nice, but otherwise not much. We were upsold at C/I to breakfast at €10, very decent price for the great choice it had.

Cons: A/C in the room was very tricky to control. Either it freezes you in a few minutes or it doesn’t work... Old system

Pros: location staff

Cons: room booked not real room - twin bed booked and single bed received they ask to pay 2,5 euro City tax but it was included in my reservation quite cold în the room and I cannot set temperature...simple sistem but maybe not functional for heating

Pros: Rooms, Beds, staff & all

Cons: Didn't try the breakfast option out so can't really comment on that

Pros: The staff were helpful and professionals. Check in and check out was very fast even if we had 4 rooms. They helped us always we needed something also in the night. One of the receptionist eqquiped boat trip for us. Hotel has good location, easy to reach city centre, bus stop in front of the hotel. The rooms were clean, every day clean towels and the room as well. Breakfast quite good, a lot of sweet cakes, croissants, fruit, ham, cheese, but not to much vegetables... good coffee. Sometimes we had a little problem to park our car but its normaly in Sicily:) In October we will go to Catania again and I am thinking about to book same hotel again

Cons: little vegetables for breakfast...
