Swimming pool, kids playground, very nice outside areas. You get an entry to Lido Arcobaleno, which is something relevant as the access to the "free beaches" is not the easiest / nicest. Location is good, as long as you´re happy to be a bit isolated and far from Catania´s city centre.

Cleaning services forgot to take the previous occupants garbage and food from the fridge... It happens. Not a serious thing.

excellent location (across the road from the beach) even though the beach is not exceptional. 10 min from the airport so excellent in/out destination. rooms are clean, staff friendly, breakfast abundant. good value of the money.

It had a bit of "past glory" feel to it. smoking in the hallway / balcony is allowed.

I loved the individuality of the hotel. Initially i thought oh no, what have i booked into? But i was pleasantly surprised, the staff were very pleasent and helpful all the time. I liked the overall look.

I didnt like the area the hotel was located in, the ymca was smelly and dirty, i had to walk past it every day and it smelt like something had died there or it was used as a public toilet and the driveway to it is filthy. I think the hotel could do with some upgrading and maintenance, painting for certain. I didnt like the way the rooms with joining doors, you could here people next door, the doors neef some sound proofing. I wish the swimming pool opened earlier 7am instead of 9am and closed later 10.30pm instead of 7pm.

Close to the airport (8 min drive, but starting/landing planes not overly audible) and right across the street from the beach. Very nice staff. Definitely better than some of the previous recommendations here made it look. Breakfast was good, Italian style w/ additional choices of toast, cheese, bacon and eggs.

It was noisy, but this is completely on the other guests. Normal indoor voices would not have been heard in the next room. Bathroom could have been cleaner (a little mold only) and there was a musty smell in the main building, but nothing too bad or uncommon (given the climate and age of the building).

The rooms were a decent size. It’s not a very large hotel. Quite warm atmosphere. Near to the beach. Literally across the road. You can see the sea if you get the right room. The grounds have little gardens and there are plants around. Staff were pleasant.

The area is a little run down. But the inside of the hotel is nice. The outside could do with being repainted. When we first arrived we thought we’d made a big mistake because of how the hotel looks from the outside. But when you go inside it’s very homely. The beds are fairly firm. But not unbearable.

Great hotel close to the beach with included sunbeds and umbrella for hotel guests. Dinner is served in the backyard and the hotel has a nice pool area. Clean room with all necessities. Friendly staff and nice breakfast. Loved that we could go for a swim in the pool until 10pm - nice after a long, hot day!

Located outside the city centre but takes only a few minutes with bus - however, I do not reccommend traveling with bus if you expect on time and frequent departures. The hotel is also located close to the airport and the road, so it can be a bit noisy outside, especially by the pool, but was not a problem in the room.

We stayed for one night before flying back home from Catania. The stay exceeded my expectations based on some bad reviews I read before. Staff was nice and helpful and the pool is lovely. We did not try the beach but we're offered free access and lounges. Our room was in the first building in front of the reception and was large comfortable and clean.

It was more complicated and more expensive than I thought to get a cab into Catania city center in the evening. Try Uber before engaging with Radio Taxi and other services. Other than that all good and very close to the airport. In the morning we were at Fontanarossa in less than 10 minutes and there are several petrol stations on the way if you need to fill your rental car.

The hotel was very nice, with gardens and places to sit in the afternoons. The staff was very helpful. The last day we had an overnight flight, and after the check out they let us stay even at the pool or beach without any charges.

I think the morning buffet could be more different because it had a lot of sweets and fruits but if you would like the savory menus, eggs, cheese ect you could order it by paying the prices in the morning menu.

Most of the staff were helpful. It is not fun working in a heatwave, especially when the job is outdoors, but they were always jovial. Breakfast was a delight. Lots of beautiful pastries to choose from (Italian style breakfast), as well as continental and cooked breakfast options. Most of the hotel rooms have front doors to the outside (private access) rather than in an internal corridor. There is lots of trees and vegetation around which keeps it private. It is in need of renovation, however the style is typical old sicilian and keeps the prices sensible. I had a friendly gecko in my room.. which is a natural mosquito repellent, and wasn't bothered by it. There is also private parking which is a huge bonus, and there was aircondition in the room which was vital in the heatwave. There is also access to the beach lido opposite the hotel for free. I didn't utilise this. The hotel is 5 mins from the airport.. a little gem

The top floor rooms have no lift access. This should be noted in the booking, but when I arrived at 1am, the person at reception kindly helped me take my case upstairs. There doesn't seem to be a policy to remove unattended towels on sunbeds.. and some individuals were reserving sunbeds by placing towels and not be present at the pool.

We were a little apprehensive after reading some of the reviews but were pleasantly surprised on our arrival. The staff are very good and very friendly. The site is beautiful. The food was good and the breakfast was excellent. Only thing, not a criticism, perhaps the rooms could need a little upgrade in the near future, but overall very good and can recommend.
