I booked because of the glowing reviews on Tripadvisor and reserved a suite with twin beds. One bed was huge, the other child sized. The bedroom lighting was so poor you couldn't read in bed and the hi-tech lighting swithched itself on in the night. Our sitting room was gloomy and inadequately furnished. There is no bar or lounge, just... More

2 minutes walk to the centre of busy Catania but in a quiet location the perfect base from which to explore the city. A restored building situated on a tree lined steep street with off street parking in an inner gated courtyard. All the staff where very friendly, helpful and efficient - all spoke good English. Very large, traditionally furnished... More

What a friendly place, all the staff seem genuinely interested in you. Our room was extremely large, the ceiling had what looked like an original mural, delightful. The bed was huge and comfortable, the room probably needed a bit more furniture, as apart from the ceiling it was a bit bleak. There was only one small armchair and no table,... More

Perfect central location for all main sites, friendly & helpful staff, rooftop views from breakfast/ restaurant area, wonderful views of etna from top floor sundeck. Only 20 mins walk to main rail & bus station for visiting Syracuse, Messina, Taormina, etc. Our room on third floor rear was quiet and well maintained.

Ok - so this hotel is in a fantastic location and the service is excellent. We stayed in room 102 on the first floor and the room again is outstanding. The only downside is that the room is located next to the restuarant and stunning roof terrace - which is amazing. However, if you fancy a quiet night and there... More

Very nice hotel in a great location. Only a short walk from Via Etnea and Il Duomo. Friendly staff, comfortable, spacious rooms. Rooftop jacuzzi was perfect to relax in. Great selection at breakfast. Transfers were arranged for us on our return to the airport. Would return in a heartbeat.

Wonderful hotel in location close to Duomo. Very helpful staff, especially Renato and Mansour who made transfer arrangements from hotel to Catania airport as well as arranging breakfast bags for our early departure. One of the best showers in all of Sicily.

Very good position and friendly hotel. Staff always helpful, a good breakfast and spotless room and en suite. Did struggle to adjust the air conditioning and wi-fi not working which was a little irritating. Lots of good restaurants within easy walking distance and even the bus station and railway station stations re walkable.... although rather up-hill on the way back!

Our room was very dark and gloomy. There was dark red carpet in the room that looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. I'm sure at one time the rooms were very special, but now they look tired and dated. The lighting is simply not adequate. There is no way of getting the room to feel... More
