Wonderful hotel in the very centre of Catania.
Breakfast is terrific (with fresh orange juice). There is a Michelin restaurant at the hotel.
Location is very convenient, it's only a short walk to the main attractions.
Reception staff speak perfect English and are very helpful with itineraries, direction and so on.
Catania tip - do not use the city taxi. It's extremely expensive To get from/to the airport, use the hotel driver. This service costs only 25 Eur, and I paid 37 to the taxi driver.

For a 4 star property, this hotel is perfectly adequate. The location is central within Catania, however the address shown on the hotel website and booking confirmation was incorrect causing our GPS to take to the wrong place - not good at night in an unfamiliar city. However, once we found the hotel, checking in was done efficiently. Free car parking under the building was VERY tight and only allowed about 6 or 7 cars at any given time. After that it was on the street where the risk of a parking ticket (fine) is very real - we got caught once. The breakfast was what we had come to expect in properties in this bracket but over the 10 days we were there, it never varied in any detail. Staff at breakfast were not good, talking on a mobile phone whilst clearing tables for example. Coffee was served cool (not hot). The rooms were reasonably spacious and clean. Free mini bar consisted of water and a couple of soft drinks.

We didnt find Catania to be a very clean or interesting town, but had to stay there for a stop-over for 2 nights as our flights were in and out of Catania ariport. Stepping into the hotel was like stepping into an oasis, airconditioning, friendly smiling staff . The rooms were spotless and tidy, and room service very efficient. The staff did alot to help us, holding and storing our luggage, finding a lost key, helping iwth mapas and directions etc.

Thought it was a nice touch that they included free water and soft drinks in the mini-bar, as it was boiling hot and not much open over the August holiday season.

One of the negatives is that the TV only has 1 English channel, and there is no pool or gym facilities at the hotel.

We paid 99euros per night including brakfast which was a very good price and overall very good value for money. Definitely recommend it - oh an dont forget to try the delicious Aranchini in Sicily- the best in the world!

Very nice staff, always a smile on their faces, cosy and warm room, with a balcony. Good choice of food at breakfast, freshly squeezed orange juice was a nice touch. Free parking, free minibar, what more could you wish !
