We got to the hotel at 7 pm, front door was closed, nobody answered for the buzzer. We buzzed a different B&B in the same buliding. Finally 2 guys managed to reach the owner on the phone and told us that our room is not available yet! We were put in a room in that different hotel 1 floor above... More

We spent one night in Catania, had to catch an early flight out the following morning. This is a nice place and was perfect for one night. Good location for the airport bus. Good restaraunts in the area. Very clean and secure.

We arrived at the hotel Rubens and were told that our room would be in a different hotel on the next floor - there was no expalantion as to why. Whilst the other hotel did their best to accommodate us,the room over-looked the via Etnea,which is perhaps the busiest ,noisiest roads in all Catania. We had booked with the Rubens... More

The hotel's location is very central, 10 minutes walk to the bus and train stations; very close to the market. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. Great breakfast, large room and very clean.Would highly recommend this hotel.

Stayed here for one night on 1/10/09. Paid 55 Euros per room per night including breakfast. Booked through Venere website.

We didn't know how many days we needed to stay here since we... More

I can only say positive things about this place. We stayed 5+1 nights there. First, the owner Pepe can give you a lot of recommendations about the area and if you know italian you can really enjoy chatting with him. The hotel is actually on the second floor of an old apartment on Via Etnea. There is a lift to... More
