The Palace Catania is a beautiful hotel on main Etnea street in city center. Central, convenient location, but you need to love city life - the streets are not clean (there are major issues in Italy with regard to the lack of trash collection and litter/garbage is prevalent almost everywhere), beggars (including children) come right up to your dining table asking for money (happened multiple times while we dined on Etnea), and there are many homeless and lots of graffiti. Setting that aside, (because you have to remember you are in the heart of the city and much of this is to be expected), the hotel staff was excellent and friendly, the condition of the hotel was very nice and clean, and the indoor valet parking was great ($25/night). The food and beverage prices at the hotel were too high, so we ate and drank at the restaurants nearby, which were excellent. There are a lot of choices. If you like to be in the middle of the action, walkable to many of the tourist sites, this is the place for you. We did a 4 hour walking tour with a local guide and it was great. We stayed 3 nights, which was 1 night too long for what we wanted to see/do.

A gem in the heart of Catania

We could not have been more happy with our stay here. Absolutely fantastic hospitality from start to finish. Rita at the reception gave us a warm welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. The room was clean and beyond comfortable - it felt luxurious! This hotel is a gem in the center of Catania. It’s right on the pedestrian zone and there are plenty of sights, restaurants, and shops within walking distance. The rooftop restaurant is splendid with a view of Catania and Mt. Etna in the background. We were also lucky enough to have a room with a balcony overlooking the street and had a beautiful view of Etna from there as well, which was especially lovely in the morning light. We ordered a room service breakfast on the morning of our departure and were so happy we did - it was a full selection of tasty foods and we left completely satisfied. We will definitely stay here again. The location is perfect for flying out of Catania as it is only about 15 minutes from the airport. The reception will take care of ordering a taxi for you - it really couldn’t be easier!
