Traveling alone (on this leg of my trip) I needed to stay a day and half because of a late flight. The 4 receptionists, and the hotel owner, I met were ALL so welcoming, friendly, and took special care to make my stay very enjoyable. This hotel staff creates a "family" feeling if you choose to get to know them. Situated in the heart of restaurants, it is a good location. Thank you all for an enjoyable stay that I was originally not looking forward to .
The room, the place, the people working there were excellent

Great location near the sights of Catania in a beautiful baroque building with an elevator. Ample breakfast included if you choose that rate. Know which one you are booking! TV but not a smart TV. Spaciousness of the room and bathroom was appreciated! Comfortable bed. Very clean, and towels were refreshed daily. Staff very helpful and booked us a taxi for very early pick up on day of departure.
Every hotel should offer two kinds of pillows: a firm pillow and a softer pillow so guests can choose their preference. This hotel did not offer the softer, unfortunately. Some decor on the walls would have been nice. The room is quite bare.
Close to bus stop , tidy
assigned room was beside the reception, I could hear all that was going on
good position in the city center, large room size, personnel very friendly.breakfast was ok,
The hotel occupies two floors of an old historic building that needs to be renovated, although the hotel’s premises have been recently refurbished.
The staff were incredibly helpful and polite, Giovanni and the guy in the dining room. They were very attentive. The room was clean and spacious. Location was great.
very friendly staffvery central location with all the pros and cons that come with thatbus stop 10 yards from front doorleft out of front door across main road to a nice parkright out of front door couple off alleys along to whole alley full of nice restaurants good breakfast choice big room with very nice high ceiling and chandelierclean and spacious bathroom
room had a funny foreign wiff although slightly better when air freshener plugged incould have done with a small kettle and a few coffee sachets
Good location, good breakfast, nice room.
It was a bit too noisy in the morning because our room was next to the reception.
Staff were excellent, helpful and considered all requests.
The rooms are not very soundproof and there was quite a lot of mouse but this died down later and didn’t stop me sleeping. It was maybe a little far from the centre?
Good location for an overnight. Staff very helpful, room a bit basic, but after a days travel was very welcome.
a kettle in the room would have been nice
Pleasant old style building. Wifi and hot water fine. Fridge totally silent all the time (a first!). Slightly faded room but perfectly acceptable. Didn't try breakfast. Handy for lots of restaurants and bars
Street not too noisy despite being a main thoroughfare. However a street cleaning vehicle can turn up at 0430.
The location was great and easily accessible by the public transport from the airport, bus and railway station. The hotel is rather small and rooms are spacious. The beautiful park is very close and the important sightseeing places.
I would suggest this accommodation for warmer months of the year. In winter the only heating is A/C which in colder days isn't sufficient. Same thing goes for hot water. It takes few minutes to reach hot water which is a waste of water, sadly. I guess in Summer it wouldn't matter. When we arrived the breakfast needed improvement, but it became better later.
The location was fantastic. In the centre, a short walk from the Bellini gardens and round the corner from some great bars and restaurants.
Not a real negative but the hotel does not have a reception on street level. You have to ring a bell and go up to the first floor. Not a big deal but it's good to know when you're looking for the place. Breakfast was basic.
Good choice in Catania, clean, beautiful building and I received an upgrade, thank you !
Staff very friendly, property clean and central.
If it had a small kettle and coffee it would be it more exceptional.
Room was perfect, breakfast for very good, location is very good indeed
Everything was very good
Excellent location in the heart of Catania, close to Villa Benini and the main shopping street. The staff were incredibly friendly and communicative, making the stay even more pleasant. The breakfast was outstanding, offering everything you could need. The rooms were spotless, and the hotel's Renaissance-style interior was both stylish and comfortable, adding a unique charm. I particularly loved that the rooms had unique names instead of numbers – a delightful touch!
