A gem in the heart of Catania

We could not have been more happy with our stay here. Absolutely fantastic hospitality from start to finish. Rita at the reception gave us a warm welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. The room was clean and beyond comfortable - it felt luxurious! This hotel is a gem in the center of Catania. It’s right on the pedestrian zone and there are plenty of sights, restaurants, and shops within walking distance. The rooftop restaurant is splendid with a view of Catania and Mt. Etna in the background. We were also lucky enough to have a room with a balcony overlooking the street and had a beautiful view of Etna from there as well, which was especially lovely in the morning light. We ordered a room service breakfast on the morning of our departure and were so happy we did - it was a full selection of tasty foods and we left completely satisfied. We will definitely stay here again. The location is perfect for flying out of Catania as it is only about 15 minutes from the airport. The reception will take care of ordering a taxi for you - it really couldn’t be easier!

Location is great , property seems like it used to apartment building and they turn it to hotel. My son left his wallet there and I called over 5 times and emailed every time they pick up and hang up on my face! On the spot they were very friendly but honestly now it’s beyond annoying as it’s been 5 days and no answers yet

Impressive entrance and roof terrace. Room not so

The hotel reception and roof top terrace - beautiful but the room was old and dated. Shame no discount for terrace. Service up there was slow and staff disinterested- petty as it’s a stunning view

Average but nice.

Nice hotel in the center of town. It’s nothing special but it was nice. The rooftop bar and restaurant offered great views of Mt Etna so I would say that was our favorite thing about the hotel. The breakfast in the morning was average, but priced fairly. The beds in the room were incredibly hard, and the pillows were terrible. (Very lumpy.) But the room was clean. If you were looking for something in the center of the city, this would be a OK choice but if you are looking for something with a prettier environment, I would recommend something closer to the water

We couldn't fault our stay—everything was excellent from start to finish. Check-in was quick and efficient, with Erika being especially friendly and helpful, which made us feel very welcome. Our room was clean and spacious, providing a comfortable base for our visit. When we went to reception to book a table at the hotel restaurant for dinner and breakfast, Rita greeted us with a cheerful and helpful attitude, adding to the positive experience. The rooftop restaurant is a highlight not to be missed. The food at dinner and breakfast was delicious breakfast with many Sicilian treats, and the view of Mount Etna made it truly memorable. Highly recommended!

Great Hotel; Restaurant Disappointing

We were very happy with reception, breakfast (well done with the vegetarian and vegan breakfast options and lovely staff) and the room, but disappointed with the rooftop restaurant. The maitre d wasn’t overly helpful; and the food was far less appetising than at most restaurants or at home - a bit overhyped and overpriced. The servers were lovely; and the cocktails good. We would stay again but avoid the restaurant food.
