Silke

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Der Service war sehr schlecht. Wir hatten den Eindruck, dass wir als Expedia-Kunde besonders unerwünscht waren. Das Zimmer war voller Schimmel, vermutlich von einem Wasserschaden. Da das Hotel fast vollkommen leer war, hätte es mit Sicherheit auch ein weniger schlechtes Zimmer gegeben. Das Frühstück war auch eher dürftig, der Kellner benahm sich an der Grenze zur Höflichkeit. Das Abendessen im Restaurant war ok, einfach aber gut zu fairen Preisen.

Comodo per gli spostamenti vicino a superstrada e

Buona la colazione a 4 € e la cena varia con 4 portate a scelta diverse ogni sera a 15€. Alcuni miglioramenti possibili: getto doccia, rifornimento saponi e phon. Qualche divano da rinnovare. Bar da tenere aperto la sera visto che fuori dall'Hotel non c'è niente. Lo consiglio. +++

Albergo da me utilizzato più volte, ma nel tempo sta deteriorandosi, ha necessità di una ristrutturazione, lo staff è molto cortese e disponibile, i prezzi sono molto bassi e la posizione vicino autostrada e tangenziale e l'ampio parcheggio gratuito lo rendono parecchio comodo per chi viaggia in auto

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Mediamente scarso

Le camere sono molto semplici e non troppo pulite, le tende ad es. erano veramente sporche. Ma il peggio si è presentato a colazione, tutt'altro che continentale. Alle 9:20 non c'era niente da mangiare e dietro nostra richiesta di integrare il buffet hanno portato qualche fetta di pancarrè e 7 fettine di prosciutto. Il tostapane era in condizioni pessime quindi non potevi farti neanche un toast da quanto era sporco.dopo hanno portato anche qualche cornetto ma ci hanno detto di non prenderne più di uno a testa. Insomma siamo andati via e abbiamo fatto colazione in un bar spettacolare degno della bella e accogliente Sicilia, al contrario dell'hotel in questione.

Hotel semplice e ben posizionato

Bella struttura con ampi spazi comuni in una posizione ben collegata con arterie principali per raggiungere Catania, Etna, Taormina, Siracusa e Messina nel giro di un'ora al massimo o poco più. Finiture della camera molto semplici. Buona pulizia e buon comfort generale. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo con Expedia! Da consigliare per visitare la costa est della Sicilia

Vista mozzafiato

Ares hotel sono anni che frequento questo hotel e l'ho visto modificare e crederete nel corso della mia vita. La hall è bellissima e anche la posizione comoda per tutte le situazioni. Le camere spaziose avrebbe bisogno solo di uno svecchiamento del mobilio Chen però compensa con il prezzo molto basso dell'hotel. La vista da alcune camere è pazzesca direttamente sull'etna.

Ennesimo soggiorno presso l'hotel Ares

L'hotel , che non smentisce le sue caratteristiche di comodità d'accesso e parcheggio, tranquillità e cortesia ha un'unica pecca: le serate del sabato, quando vi è sempre qualche festa. In questo caso, suggerisco di chiedere una camera al primo o secondo piano. Tutto il resto è di ottimo livello.
