Pleasant hotel convenient to marina
Service is attentive and accommodating. Breakfast buffet is quite good. Quiet room with comfortable bed. Bathroom was very awkwardly arranged in my room. One had to sit side-saddle on the toilet. It was in a corner between the bidet and a space-wasting cover for the plumbing below the basin. The entrance to the shower was more narrow than any hotel i have ever stayed in. I would add photos of the bathroom, but the hotels.com app seems to be malfunctioning. Again.

Excellent hotel, clean and comfortable. Our receptionist Simona gave us a warm welcome and arranged a perfect airport transfer from Catania airport in advance of our arrival…she was in contact as soon as we landed to confirm our driver was ready.

My twin room was very small, much smaller than my friends’ rooms which was much better than mine for the same price . Shower head was not working properly and the shower was awful. Good breakfast and nice staff. Hotel needs some renovation, photos look much nicer than reality . Expensive for what it is .

Ideal location for the port and restaurants.
Quick overnight stay on the way back from Aeolian Islands, Hotel has a modern interior and rooms, modern bathrooms and amenities. The beds are notably very comfortable and large. A couple of small details could be improved, There was quite a bit of limescale on the drencher shower head. There was also just one towel left in the room. I’m guessing a mistake rather than as standard. The hotel is a 8minute drive (So roughly 15 euro taxi away from the main train station).

Perfect location for the ferry
Spotlessly clean hotel in greet location for the ferry. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Only criticism - and it's minor - is that there only ever seemed to be one staff member on duty. The reception was tending the bar (for coffees) and doing breakfast. They were great but having to go find someone every time you wanted a refill was disappointing. Otherwise great hotel and would happily recommend or stay again.

La Bussola 4 beds room
We stayed in this hotel on our way from Catania to Palermo. It was an unplanned stay, but we're happy that this hotel is available for the four of us. The hotel room is very nice and clean. It seems like it was renovated recently (as of 2014). The front desk attendant is able to speak english and very nice and polite. The location is close to the port (on the south side), perfect for going on day trip on the aeolian islands tour. but there is not that many restaurants around the hotel.

Nice four star hotel. It is very clean and new, it seems like it was recently renovated. It was a pleasant stay for the four of us in the quadruple room. The only complain was the shower is a bit broken.
