This hotel made our holiday. Granted it’s not in the best area but we absolutely loved it. The room was huge, spotless, modern and has everything you need. We were road facing so the road noise was there but it didn’t bother us as up with a 9 year old at 7am! The beds were very comfy and for Italy in our experience this is rare. The pool area was lovely, the pool wasn’t big but big enough for the amount of guests. The reception staff were all welcoming and helpful, the staff working on the bar and at breakfast were all fab and spoke good English. The breakfast was very fresh with plenty of continental choice. We also had a light lunch on a couple of occasions which was lovely. We hired a car which you definitely need as nothing in walking distance apart from a little bar/coffee place across the road. The car hire at the hotel was €100 per day but we found a local company before we flew out for £400 for the week so it’s better to look around. We managed to park at the hotel no problem. €40 in taxi from airport to hotel. Going into the city and driving was something else. Parking is hard work but overall we loved it. We have been all over Italy for the last 12 years and I must say the food we had in Sicily was truly the best. We ate a lot of fresh fish. Places to visit Mt Etna - €90 in cable car but worth it Etnaland water park €80 for 3 people but it’s amazing for families and would highly recommend Taomina - the beach was stoney but a beautiful place. Absolutely full of tourists though. Overall our second visit to Sicily did not disappoint, my family had the most amazing time. It’s not your typical ‘family’ holiday but that is why we liked it so much. We would stop at this hotel again and again and would highly recommend

We had a great nights stay at the Airone. It was the end of our trip and we needed a hotel for a night before flying home. We were able to check in early afternoon time and spent a lovely couple of hours by the pool. Pool towels provided.
Super clean and air conditioning throughout. We had dinner in the bar which only had a small menu but the food was really nice. Breakfast selection was great.
Our room was a great size for a family with two single beds made up in the living room and another separate bedroom area with a super king bed. Huge big bathroom. We thought the range of free drinks in the mini bar was a really nice touch.
Staff were lovely and so welcoming.
The only negative is the location. It’s not in the greatest part of town and you will need a car or taxi to get in to the centre. This didn’t matter for us as we’d already visited Catania at the beginning of our trip and just wanted somewhere quiet with a pool for our last night.

Room Tip:Not the most convenient for walking around the city centre.

We stayed here for a week. The hotel is based outside the city but if you don’t have a.car you can get to the city centre by taking bus BRT5 from main road, 5 minutes walk away.
The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, giving plenty of advice where to go etc.
We did not have a car so relied on days out via local tour companies.
The room was large, spacious and very clean. We had a fridge with complimentary soft drinks, biscuits and an espresso machine. We had a rainfall shower and complimentary toiletries.
They served light lunches and evening snacks; we enjoyed the cheese and ham platter.
Overall a new, clean hotel with lovely staff and reasonably priced. Bella ❤️

Perfect hotel for our last night in Sicily. We wanted somewhere with a pool where we could relax after arriving in catania by train, and before our flight out the next day. Our room was large and light with direct access to the terrace. Bed was comfy and towels were fluffy, especially the pool towels. Shower was a teeny bit small but otherwise powerful. We only had to walk 10 mins to a good local restaurant; very fresh fish and great pasta. Breakfast was plentiful and lovely to eat on the terrace. Staff were very friendly and helpful. A great find!

I stayed here and was pleased to return again. Staff go the extra mile , especially Roberto on reception, who was friendly and helpful. I’d also like to mention Chiara who gave fantastic service during breakfast (the breakfast was excellent with a great variety of food and drinks). Our room was very clean and spacious. The bed was so comfortable. The added extra of a secure car park was also a great bonus. We cannot wait to return again to this really lovely hotel. Highly recommended!

The hotel is very modern and nicely fuenished. We had a lovely family room on the ground floor with the view of the pool. The pool and surrounding area were clean. The staff were all so helpful and very kind always reasldy to help out anytime of the day. The breakfast was quite good, wide variety of food and was replenished well. The location is the only drawback of this hotel. To go anywhere we had to get a cab all the time. You cannot go out of the hotel and go for a walk cause there is nothing to do near the hotel.

This hotel was located close to family we were visiting . It does not have picturesque views, however staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were simple, but very clean and comfortable with good air conditioning. Breakfast did not have a large variety of items but what they did have was good quality. The pool area was lovely and drinks and snacks could be ordered while out on the loungers. I would recommend this hotel.

The most amazing and helpful staff we’ve ever met. While the hotel isn’t at the prime location, the amenities, cleanliness, and the service offered by the staff were superb. The way they handled our issue with the rent a car agency exceeded our expectations. They are truly devoted to the customer experience to which they delivered at each front. We will be back.

We initially chose this hotel as we arrived at Catania after a night flight and looked for a hotel with a convenient parking lot without having to go through the hassle of trying to find a parking space in the city. This hotel was amazing to say the least. All amenities are available, the rooms are clean and comfortable, service is second to none, breakfast delicious ~ in fact it’s just a great hotel to stay at whilst visiting Catania and the surrounding area. Thank you for your welcome and hospitality

We spent 4 days at Airone Hotel and really enjoyed it. It was super clean, the rooms were extra large and the staff helped us a lot, they proposed great places to visit. They only have a couple of rooms, so it was quite quiet. We loved it.

Hi. We had a car rental for our trip. We drove in from Messina. We did not use a taxi, however we did take the public bus from the stop in front of the hotel to city center. It was one euro, plenty of available seats. The hotel recommended riding the bus instead of taking our car, limited parking and very congested streets.
It would be fine for kids. There were quite a few kids there while during our visit. Just make sure you have a way to get around town as it is pretty far from restaurants ect.
There are more places to choose from in the Catania area.
