We planned to stayed in Catania for 3 nights on our tour of the south of Italy, and our choice to stay in Catania, and in this hotel was great. The rooms are funky, fun, and comfortable. The personel are nice, specially the guy on the reception who speaks English, French,Italian all well was really helpful. Too bad we forgot... More

Just a quick review to say that we had an excellent stay at the Hotel Royal for one night (our first night in Catania). We were greeted by name when we arrived (had never been there before!), likely due to our late arrival -- about 11:15 pm. Room was smallish but fine for one night. Had some issues with internet...

This was our first Sicilian and Catania trip. Arriving via train from Taormina, we took a short 5-7 min taxi ride to the front of the Hotel Royal. Having reserved its Royal or Norma suite, I was very happy with its 60-65sqm of spaciousness - a sitting hall with table and two arm chairs, dinning table with 4 chairs. Then... More

Hotel Royal was a pleasant surprise. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Catania at a walking distance from the scenic Via Etnea, it is an example of how hotels should be run in a smart way. Almost invisible form the outside, it is located in a beautiful baroque palazzo, perfectly renovated. It is both warm, stylish and efficient, a sign... More

Do NOT stay at this hotel, ever, under any circumstance.. My 4 nite experience Nov 3-7 was the worst at any hotel in any city around the world. My first room was ok, its name La Lupa (303). However after 2 nites the room temperature would not go below 24+C/0ver 75F because there is no ventilation (air conditioning was off... More

I think the people made this hotel for us. We wanted to eat in the first night (since it was pouring out) but they were booked out for an 18th birthday party. Since it was my wife's birthday too, they happily plied us with prosecco, free of charge, and then served dinner as room service, complete with free birthday dessert.... More

The hotel was centrally located, with easy access to all major attractions. The decor was opulent and the service friendly and helpful. Room service was unobtrusive, lacking the abruptness one often finds in hotels of major tourist destinations, thus allowing for privacy and uninterrupted sleep and rest. Wheelchair access was adequate although the provision of a walk-in shower without a... More

This hotel was in a great location, very clean, great breakfast! However, the room was a little dark , not a big deal but more lighting would be better.
