Lovely little hotel in the centre of Catania. Admittedly it was right on a main road and a little noisey, but Catania isn't the most beautiful place in the world either, so it was at times a relief to find a welcoming, clean, fresh-smelling and tidy hotel. Breakfast is basic, but nice. Rooms are very nice though. Only let down by the fact they don't do food in the evening. Desk staff spoke very good English.

Great little hotel - somewhat inconveniently located for main city sights. Good staff, excellent breakfast. Really terrific baroque-style rooms - ours was way above average size for Sicily. 20 foot ceilings with murals. Fantastic!

The Hotel was a good 25 minute walk from the centre of Catania up a steep busy road. The room we had on the ground floor had large windows that didn't quite close properly (no double glazing) so the noise and pollution from the traffic was quite intense.
The room had an 'old world' charm with old furniture and paintings on the ceiling however the shower was an extremely small cubicle with very low water pressure. I would def not stay here again.
Like many European hotels, the rooms and especially the bathrooms are tiny. But the room was so charming. The hotel is basically a villa that was converted into a small hotel. The room is no more than a bureau, mirror and bed- but the ceilings were painted with frescos and were 15-20 feet high. It was a really cute little room. If you are travelling on a budget, this is perfect.
