Very quite place,feeling likehime.Breakfast is tasty and full.Bath isnt in the eoom ,but closeto and private for every room. Despite the hotel is in black district ,its almost is in the centre and safe,close to the underground and local sightseeings.

Pros: The room was very big, as well as toillete wich had everything we need and more! The location is very good, near from station and main services (coffes, restaurants, markets). Actually there is a minimarket right by side.

Cons: The building has not elevator, and the apartment is on the last floor. So we have a lot of steps to up with our luggage, but if you like to do some exercice is not a problem to you :)

Pros: It was within walking distance of the catania centre. Charming home. Nicely decorated with lovely old art deco tiles! Very helpful host who even put down notes on a map and helped us with busses. Good & light breakfast. A small market right next door selling inexpensive items.

Cons: It was in a bit of a dodgy street. Late at night the area around b&b is littered with prostitutes and pimps or dealers(?). Made us feel uneasy, especially after getting called & approached twice.

Pros: Our stay was very good, as always, we were there for the third time. The owner is very nice and helpful. Breakfast is very big and tasty, as always. At first glance, the district looks "uninteresting", but it's safe. The object is located close to the city center and train station. Next to it is a small grocery store open to 1am. There are very good restaurants within 3-5 minutes walk. If we back to Catania we will back to Solsicily :)

Pros: Good location Friendly staff VERY good breakfast.

Cons: The only drawback: the water in the shower wasn''t hot enough. Hot enough for "normal" people, not enough for "I like it burning (like my wife)"

Cons: Location

Pros: Location. Nicely furnished and modern.

Cons: With the slight option of salads and sandwiches no restaurant for full fledged lunch or dinner. Bedroom had no comfortable seating.

Pros: The hotel looks very new, nice lobby and remodeled rooms and bathrooms. The room was very small, the location was great, as long as you walk left when you get out of the hotel (if you go right you'll find lots of hookers, waiting, sitting on plastic chairs, i'm not joking). Great restaurants within 1 block, friendly staff.

Pros: Great counter people. Nice adequate breakfast with a variety of offerings.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Breakfest

Cons: terrible location !after dark street was filled with drugs and prostitutes Rooms small I had Coffee machine missing in the room 2 small water bottles fly in minifridge

Pros: Excellent location and value for money.

Pros: Friendly staff and excellent location

Pros: The big room with murals on the ceiling. Good airco.

Cons: Breakfast was a bit boring.

Pros: Great hotel in a very central location. Rooms were very nice and staff was helpful.

Cons: There were no tea making facilities in the room (though they were available in the reception area).

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Nothing worked. Overcharged for a substandard room. Shower did not drain. Outlets did not work. Breakfast was extra. Not a 4 star. Noise from outside woke us up. Rooms on booking.com were the lower floors. Bogus.

Pros: The location is unique, quiet and 100 meters from the main square. The staff is always helpful and nice.

Cons: It was visible that the last refit of the rooms was not recent, the air-conditioning was noisy, I have paid for a superior room and I would have expected a better view than a back alley,

Pros: Location

Cons: Broken lights, broken mini bar, broken sink. Room was run down, staff sullen and unfriendly. No help with broken facilities. A three night stay not long enough for them to get anything done. Staff at breakfast looked suicidal. Not a great experience all round. Only good thing is the location, close to everything in catania.

Pros: Wonderful privately owned hotel. Great location. Safe. Friendly staff. Limited parking, so call ahead to reserve.

Cons: Prior notice of limited parking, so I could have reserved.

Pros: Perfect location if you want to go sightseeing. Lovely facilities, service and staff.

Cons: Our room only had a small window facing an inner yard, so our view was baiscally a wall. However, we didn’t spend much time in the room, so it didn’t bother us that much.

Pros: The location is hard to beat, as is the valet parking. The staff is outstanding, they will go out of their way to be helpful. The hotel bar is a cozy sanctuary , and the bartender a real pro. Great beds, breakfast is ample by Italian standards and provides both sweet and savory options. Don't hesitate to ask the staff for a real cappuccino instead of using the DIY machine in the breakfast room. We've stayed here before and will do again.

Cons: Our room decor was somewhat dated and the bathroom could to with an update as well, particularly the shower and the lighting. The door needed a lot of pushing when opening or closing. But all that will not prevent us from happily staying there again.

Pros: Location is perfect. Staff very friendly & room was well appointed and clean. Great value.

Pros: Great location, spacious and clean room, excellent service, very helpful staff. Very good recommendation.

Pros: Male front staff service was welcoming and more...

Pros: Professional, discreet and what any experienced traveller requires, Bravo!

Cons: Personal, hotel tour guide, facilitator for ones movements around Catania: local consultant...social, cultural and business.

Pros: The staff was very skilled and able to improvise regarding parking and more. breakfirst fine too.

Pros: Beautifully situated in the centre of Cantania with very high standard of rooms

Pros: Charmingly decorated, room spacious, staff friendly and helpful, location excellent.

Pros: Very friendly staff, helpful and competent. Breakfast rich and good. Position of hotel is good and room was quiet. I am looking forward to spend my time once more in this hotel.

Pros: Excellent location, Luigi on the reception desk was exceptionally helpful and even arranged to send on the clothes I'd left to our next hotel in Taormina! We were offered a choice of room and selected a small but well equipped and comfortable room with delightful french windows and balcony. We were on the side of the hotel and this turned out to be quiet. I'd advise you to avoid the front of the hotel at the weekend unless you are going to be out yourself partying late (it's a bit of a gathering place late on in the evening).

Cons: The breakfast service was not replenished - we went there half an hour before it closed and it was pretty sparse to say the least, but the coffee and croissants were excellent. It's probably best to get their early. Our bathroom was a little on the snug side which may be a problem for some, but then we did have a choice of larger rooms had we wanted them.

Pros: Central location, friendly staff, great room.

Pros: Very friendly staff. Room excellent. Breakfast not too impressive - but italians don't do breakfast like brits.. Location fine for catania sightseeing etc.

Cons: No. It was good and we would stay again. Really liked the place.

Pros: Good central location with highly efficient and professional staff.

Cons: A few problems re noise from nearby bars on the Saturday night!

Pros: Location, room space

Cons: Some small renovation works should be carried on in the rooms to bring the hotel to the next level (I.e. painting)

Pros: location

Cons: the hotel is almost run down. It desperately needs to be renovated

Pros: At the breakfast time you can get free glass of cava. Kept our luggages free of charge because of the late flight Staff while complaining putted some efforts to fix it Felt safe even the homeless people were sleeping almost by the door of the entrance of it

Cons: I have booked the room with the mountain Etna view and a balcony. I have payed more money just to have exactly that room for the very special occasion. They have upgraded me for the suit, but it was just a room with the ugly street view, just a bigger than regular. If I would have a chance and I would just cancel it. Beds were absolutely uncomfortable and the wallpapers were falling apart. Room carpets seems were cleaned properly long time ago and I started having dust allergy (I have small asthma). I am not even talking about dusty curtains. Reception - absoltely useless. When we have asked for the nice beach close by we were guided to some black sand beach with big waves, which is 15 min away. We have walked around 2 hours searching, but the ones around were just rocks or just kinda sandish with a fresh fish seller and come cats around. After making a pit stop at the coffee place and checking google we figured out that the nice one is 25 min drive from where we were. If you ever decide to stay in here just know that reception doesn't know much or doesn't really care. Breakfast for the value of money was absolutely dissapointing as for example coffee of one of our days was finished (more than 1 hour before the breakfast has been finished) as some other things. The staff was just relaxing and having their breakfast just by the side of the guests. Not a good selection of vegetables, just 4 kinds - two types of low quality letuce, worse ever seen tomatoes in Catania and something more what I don't remember. Even boiled eggs were not fresh!!! A bit of fruit, some juice, wafles and so on. No avena flakes, just kellogs style stuff. Looks good from far away. Would highly recomend places for food around the hotel. You will be surprised how good it is comparing to what you are getting in a hotel. Shower in a room was barelly alive as no water preasure and it takes some time to regulate it, sink was clogged.

Cons: Room condition not very good - mainly wall coverings peeling off, worn and just a bit 'tired". Breakfast very good, dinner was very poor. Bar service excellent.

Pros: The hotel is in a good location and our room was big, if a bit dated, with a fabulous view of Mount Etna. The levels of cleanliness were high, all the staff were friendly, the breakfasts offered a plentiful choice and the bar area was comfortable and welcoming. We were presented with tasty little canapés with our drinks and the two dinners we ate there were cooked perfectly.

Cons: The hotel is in need of some refurbishment. The dinner menu offered the same choices each evening.

Pros: Spacious room, bathroom comfortable, breakfast good, all staff very helpful. Great Location and car parking and guest pick up access was very convenient. The overall hotel building was quite grand however,generally needs restoration throughout.

Cons: Carpet and furniture throughout was very dated and threadbare. Elevators not safe, due to door closure not sensitive to obstruction either by a person or object. Room/Door was squeaky, Light fittings were loose and coming away from the walls. Again, the building is quite grand and is in dire need of updating to it's former glory.
