The hotel had easy access to airport and was able to arrange transfer at a time after mid-night from a late flight. The staff provided easy directions to bus to airport for car pick-up and then had onsite parking that was secured and monitored.

We had a large double room with two balconies, with an open view towards the sea. The room was decorated in a “Belle Epoque” style including a painted ceiling with cherubs. The room was very comfortable, with a large bathroom and good shower with plenty of hot water. We enjoyed the sunny courtyard garden as a place to take breakfast. The breakfast included the typical fare, plus scrambled and boiled eggs - it was basic but more than sufficient. The hotel is close to the central station and about a 15 minute walk to the main Catania sites such as the Duomo , fish market and many restaurant choices. The hotel looked a little scruffy from outside, but the interior decor was fine and in good order. The reception “capo”, Francesco, was very helpful and engaging, and the other staff pleasant. Would be happy to stay again - we thought it good value for money.

Location is perfect, breakfast item was not the best but it will do, the room was tiny but comfortable enough for 1 person. The bed needs some upgrade, I did not have a comfortable blanket but had to actually use the bed cover. The one thing I really liked were the access to the patio outside the room and by the dining area. That's awesome and very cozy and private. There were enough seats available.

Hmmm not sure if management is trying to keep an old-style hotel but it needs upgrade. The hallway was sooo dark, the lights were not on all the time. I was there for 3 nights and each time I return to the hotel my key did not work which was annoying, I had to go back to the front desk at least 2 times a day.

Comfortable, clean room with good aircon opening onto a lovely green courtyard decorated with mosaics and hanging plants. Delicious breakfast with a variety of hot and cold, savoury and sweet options. Excellent coffee. The lift was appreciated, so much easier than taking suitcases up and down stairs. We swam in the sea at the Lido which is across the road near the train station. 3 euros per person if you want to swim only. It was fantastic to be able to have a swim in the very hot weather, very close to the hotel.

Good location, good breakfast, nice arrangement in the hotel. All the people from the reception were very kindly. My flight was cancelled because of the eruption of Etna, and the company WizzAir reported our flight with a delay of.... 5 days! In these special conditions, Francesco and Virginia were our super hosts, all the time ready to help and to answer to all our questions and warnings. Hugs for them!

I didn' t like some mosquitos

Room was comfortable with adequate amenities for an old establishment. The breakfast was very nice with good cappuccino, fresh fruits etc and taken on an internal courtyard. Staff was pleasant and helpful.

The location was disappointing because the surrounding streets were trashed out and the sidewalks uneven with potholes. Limited food outlets around. Street parking somewhat available but narrow streets made it difficult so your car would perch half on the tiny sidewalk. Neighborhood had a dingy feeling.

Was greeted by Giuseppe at the front desk . He was very welcoming and continued to be very helpful throughout my 5 night stay . My double room with balcony was large and had adequate space for all my things. The bathroom was large and shower had plenty of hot water and great pressure. The inner courtyard was beautiful . Breakfast was ok , eggs were always cold. The location was perfect for traveling by train or bus . Historic center was an easy walk away. I enjoyed my stay very much.

The hotel is really beautiful and the location is perfect if you prefer to be close to the train station, however the neighbourhood itself is not great and I wouldn't go for a walk alone. The staff was super helpful and the breakfast was also pretty decent.

We had to book 2 rooms (1 single and 1 with 3 beds) since we were 4 people but upon arrival we found that the single room was in fact double which was quite confusing and not mentioned anywhere. Our key card wasn't working properly as well, so we had to go to the reception every day to get a new one.

The hotel is a surprising place once you are inside. Rooms are charming - the suite, at least - and the terrasses, breakfast, decor are very picturesque. It's also incredibly quiet, considering the vicinity of the train station & bus terminal. Good overall experience. There is a good restaurant nearby - I Moschetieri, so, for late travellers, there's a safe dinner option within 4 minutes' walk.

The area is really dirty and seems creepy.

Lovely layout of the hotel with a nice open-air section in the centre of the building for breakfast, friendly and helpful staff with good English. Location is extremely handy, close to coach & bus stations. Very clean facilities within the room and building as a whole.

Decor is slightly dated, breakfast options were good quality but limited. No restaurant on site, and bar closes relatively early - however close enough to the town that those facilities are easily available if needed.
