Loved staying st this hotel. Perfect to stay in Catania for 1 night as our flight landed late. Upgrading for breakfast on the roof terrace is worth it for a first view of Etna on our trip. The breakfast was excellent. Staff were lovely. An extremely smart hotel on the Main Street, doubt you can’t get much better in Catania

This was an extraordinary hotel in the heart of Catania. Across the street is a La Rinascente. (Italy’s Major Department Store) Max Mara and Foot Locker are on the first floor before you enter and Sephora is across the street. The rooms are spacious, with an amazing bed and deep soaker tub. The price tag is a steep, I was fortunate that I had Expedia Credit, I will say if I was not on a budget I would easily stay here and pay the price. It was worth every penny!

A first-class hotel in the Centre of Catania, the staff were professional and friendly in all areas of the hotel. Our room was amazing, and the breakfast was great in the lovely dining area. The hotel is located in the centre of town, so expect the usual city noises. We would definitely return to this hotel with no hesitation.
