Good value central Catania stay

Friendly helpful proprietor. Large clean room, well insulated from noise, comfy bed. Amazingly decorated breakfast room , with a good choice of continental breakfasts. Only downside was no plug in the sink or bidet. Bring a universal plug with you if required!

The property is old.. everything in Catania is old, but this property has zero updating. The night I stayed there was no running water...not sure if it was Catania or property specific. It was in an amazing location and I really wanted to like it.

Interesting property with unique decor. My room had a view of a beautiful church building. Location is perfect, just a few steps from Etnea Road which is a very long street with lots of shops and restaurants. Room was clean enough and the bed was comfortable. Modern bathroom and adequate towels. Staff could be a little bit more welcoming.

All good, staff very helpful, everything spotless.

We really liked this hotel. It was spotlessly clean, quiet a nd with comfortable beds and we slept like logs. Staff very helpful and we appreciated the complimentary water and soft drinks. The location couldn't be better, right by via Etna - loved it, wouldn't hesitate to book again.

The location is very convenient, I was able to walk to many attractions and there are several excursion facilitators around it. The staff is very friendly and helpful. For the price, it is a great deal. I will stay there again if I come back to visit.

We traveling back home to USA after a 2 week vacation in Sicily. Lovely hotel great location! The only bummer our Google map took us through the small city streets which took at least an hour to find. The same was true of the parking. That said I would definitely recommend this property and stay again!
