Pros - excellent location in the historic centre, comfortable bed, good AC Cons - The triple room is a double bed and a single bed, not the advertised twin bed (and the receptionist wouldn’t even consider discussing it). Very basic hotel with a small room for the price. Elevator only takes you between floors, so you’ll want to avoid this hotel if you’re disabled or injured. Basically does the job for a short stay, but overpriced for the quality that’s provided

Very accommodating service! I arrived late for check-in, but the staff set everything up to make it easy for me to get situated and rest. The reception area is lovely, with frescoes. Centrally located off Via Etnea, a very lively if somewhat chaotic shopping district that runs through the center of the city.

The front room ib the Baroque style is a total selling point. The fact you have to check in by 10pm is a bit harder when on later flights. You need to arrange codes etc. That can be stressful to arrange.

The hotel is classical European. There was air conditioning throughout the suite and both rooms were beautiful. The suite had a small refrigerator with free water and juices. There was no microwave in the room but there are plenty of restaurants in the area. Both rooms had the most beautiful painted ceilings. The shower was small but decent enough. The staff was also very efficient and pleasant. If you are expecting American style hotel rooms with lots of amenities, this hotel is not for you. But if you want a classic Italian style hotel in a centrally located area, give this place a try.

The hotel is on a sidestreet off the main Via Etnea but it felt safe and actually surprisingly quiet except for some loud drumming on a couple of nights which ended by 11pm. I had an economy single room which was basic but good value for money with a mini bar fridge in the room and tea/coffee making facilities at reception available 24/7. As advertised the room is not en suite but has a private toilet/shower room down the corridor and around the corner which wasn't a problem for me. The location of the hotel is excellent for exploring Catania; the rooms and communal areas were cleaned daily and well maintained (although the furniture is a little tired but you must expect that for the cost) and the staff were polite and helpful. I would not hesitate to stay there again in the future. As a bonus there is also an impressively decorated room next to the reception that is well worth checking out!

Great value for money and comfort in Via Etnea
Hotel is located on the most central street in Catania, Via Etnea. The owner is very friendly and helpful, he will answer any of your questions and help whenever needed Rooms are beautiful and very spacious, they have a balcony, refrigerator, private bathroom. There is also a cofee machine in the hallway. Although it us on a noisy street, the room is soubdproof. Loved the vintage vibe to it. Would recommend this hotel to anyone exploring Catania
