Highly recommended
We were wonderfully welcomed by Rita who gave us detailed information about the city and its highlights. Our room was spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed a tasty dinner in the rooftop restaurant with great views of the city and Mount Etna. We liked the breakfast buffet.

The hotel is in dire need of remodelling, some of the areas are shabby. There are few public spaces and the dining options are very limited. The staff in the breakfast area and front desk were friendly and worked hard. Catania was once an attractive city. Neglect, graffiti and litter are my main memory. Easy access to Mt Etna, and numerous attractive surrounding areas are the only reason to stay there.

Great location, expected better customer service
We arrived at the hotel and realized there’s no AC in the rooms (there is but not for cold only heater), we also booked the hotel in part because we saw it has a roof top restaurant with great views and then found out we were not allowed because of a private event, the manager was helpful but very dry and short on words. Hotel is greatly located and in great condition, breakfast buffet is nice and rooms are very clean.

It was centrally located and the rooftop was great for drinks/dinner the first night upon arrival. The rooftop has a great view of the city. We had drinks there several times during our stay. The breakfast was very good. One in our group needed dairy free/vegan. They were better than most places, and there was a section identified on the menu, but she thought the options were limited. Overall, a very good experience!

Nice old hotel in city. Room with upstairs loft and 1 1/2 baths. Very clean room and comfortable bed. Small balcony overlooking city was fun to watch people going about their days and nights. Close to many sites. Food at hotel was fair. Rooftop has a beautiful view of Mt. Etna but food and service were not good. AC good.
