Large rooms, perfect location, To be kept in mind, that for that price in this area you should not expect amazing things. Photos of hotel on booking are cool, but I'd recommend to landlord to show a bit more real photos

Very nice, spacious room. Bed was extremely comfortable. Easy entry to room and building. A block from metro.

The toilet was very hard to flush. The staff kept saying we were putting our finger on it wrong but sometimes we had to push it over 20 times. Also, not a problem for us but the room is not accessible for the handicapped. A few stairs from the elevator and the elevator would not accomodate a wheelchair.

The location is ACE. Seriously, I can see few better. You’re literally off the heart of Via Etna and yet the street is quiet. I had a room with an outside bathroom. Both were immaculately clean. Good water pressure for the shower and hot water anytime. Hair dryer provided too. Honestly the walk from my room to the bathroom is not that big a deal and I knew it was separate going in. The bed was SO comfortable! Not too hard nor too soft. Pillows also very good, in that vein of being perfectly medium. There’s an extra duvet in the roomy closet as the floor tiles are cold. You can put heating on though: there’s an AC unit with directions for best and cold. I didn’t turn it on so I don’t know how well it heats. Desk in the room to work as well if you wish. The room fridge is benefit and the host kindly offers gratis a cooled bottle of water and a soda in there. Definitely comfortable for solo traveler or a couple for a few nights. Wifi was overall great for uploading photos and videos on social but a bit iffy with video calls. Absolutely gorgeous salon/parlour!

The TV didn’t work and wasn’t fixed despite me asking one AM. But this is SO minor, as I only wanted to turn it on for background noise once. The reception also gave an Asian tourist an eye roll one time for asking to eat breakfast in the parlour. So it’s just for show and to taunt guests??!!

It was in an excellent location, just off Via Etna which connects you to the historics sights, shopping and restaurants yet quiet. The rooms are in a heritage building, yet have all the modern conveniences. The room was large with a broad luggage rack, a spacious closet, fridge, a clean comfortable bathroom, kettle etc.

One of the problems I experienced was with the elevator which landed between floors and negotiating a heavy bag down stairs was a bit of a struggle. Also only paper cups for coffee and a ceramic one was not available.

Communication difficulties…I’ve been trying to email and phone the hotel since I left regarding an item that I’ve lost, but the email has bounced back and I can’t get through by phone. Frustrating…

Perfect location! Balcony right over the main shopping blvd. Either end had historic churches. The hotel is historic and lovely. It has an elevator and an individual cup coffee maker. The bathroom is external from the bedroom, but it is your own private bathroom. The room is the perfect size with a desk, bench, full-length mirror, mini fridge w/bottled water, and closet. There is a code for the street door that makes it easy to get in, so you don't have to fumble for your keys on the street. The street markets are super close. It's just a fantastic spot

Close to main tourist places. About 7mins to Cathedral and Elephant fountain. 4 mins to get to bus stop for airport bus. The cafe next self laundry near Elephants fountain has good reviews for Arancini. It is old facility but relatively clean in terms of cleaning, can see it is old but it doesn’t mean that it is dirty. The bin inside room was emptied everyday. Good pillow.

It is not facility’s fault but some people were very noisy at corridor and bang the door when they are frustrated with key to open the door as it is old style of key.

Central Catania, pedestrian streets full at midnight, gelato store busy! Great gelato! Comfortable bed, nice shower in morning with little jets for body! Very sweet, not seen this before. Arrived very late, very easy instructions to get in to building and room. In morning met lovely young lady at reception and discovered the amazing lounge! Streets full of markets and shoppers, lovely atmosphere, watching violinist from lounge balcony!

No aircon that I could see, so had large balcony windows open, which I like but quite noisy from street!

The beds were so comfy and pillows were amazing, we all slept very well. Rooms traditional but lovely, very clean.

The bathrooms in some of the rooms need updating. Some of the group paid extra for the deluxe rooms but there was no difference between the standard rooms and deluxe rooms. When asked what you got extra for the money, was told by staff that all rooms are the same
