An excellent B&B with amazing staff. Everything you need for a city break and a delicious breakfast. The rooms are beautifully decorated.
Great area surrounded by great bars and restaurants.

Il Leone Blue is an amazing place to stay for a visit in Catania. The rooms are really clean and newly renovated. AC works great (and in summer is a must!). Manuela has been nice and very communicative, she got us great indications where to have dinner and explore. Catania downtown is an amazing city, beautiful and lively. Of course you have to consider that you are in an historical downtown, walking distance from everything so the parking is always sketchy and the buildings have narrow stairs you have to use to got in and out but that is also part of the experience! Definitely recommend to spend time here at "Il Leone Blue"!

8.0 / 10.0
Location is good, with some great restaurants and bars close by.
Manuela was very friendly and helpful, and the check in was straight forward.
Room 4 however, is tiny, cramped, airless and gloomy. It had no space and a small window. Definitely not like the room photos which prompted us to book.

Il Leone Blue is a beautiful, charming place, specious and very comfortable bed. We absolutely loved the decor, the stylish furniture, the art, the books on history of the place, even the appliances were very cool but the most amazing are tge ceilings. When you wake up and open your eyes, you truly feel like royalty, absolutely loved it!!! Also the place is located in a heart of Catania, we walked everywhere, lots of options for dining as well. The host, Manuela, is an excellent communicator, she even sent us a video how to open the door, which was very helpful, we were able to leave our luggage after check out and she even called us a taxi to take us to the airport. It was very good experience and I would highly recommend Il Leone Blue for a stay in Catania.

We had a great stay at Il Leone Blu. The B&B is immaculate and the rooms are beautifully decorated. Manuela was extremely informative and helpful, and the lady that looked after the breakfast and the rooms was lovely. Would definitely stay there again if we went back to Catania.
2.0 / 10.0
Disappointing in many respects. Check- in done by apps and phone- never met manager. Felt very impersonal. Breakfast was day before leftovers-poor selection, small amount and pastries stale. Website says airport shuttle costs€18 but hotel arranged taxi cost € 30 and my friend €40! Biggest issue was Hotels.com says pay at property but with no communication or forewarning, manager put hotel cost through on credit card used to reserve room. When I tried to have hotel charged to a different credit card, manager complained it would cost her and was too much trouble. Very poor service but room was large, clean and with windows shut, most of the noise from the bar below wasn’t heard.

Very nice room! Great location, the block looks a little sketchy but it’s totally safe and really convenient to serious touristy areas. We didn’t get to have breakfast because of an early flight, but highly recommend!

Gorgeous rooms in older building. Spacious, well appointed, beds and bath very comfortable. Fabulous high painted and decorated ceilings. Good breakfast and helpful staff. The entry way is older and plain but delight ensues as soon as you open the door to the second floor. Very helpful getting a cab for early morning flight.
5.0 / 10.0
We loved our very comfortable and clean accommodations. The painted ceiling and the three balconies added such charm. Room is spacious and the bedding very comfortable. The arrival from the street was a bit rough with some construction in the entry area and lots of stairs...first impression was a little rough, but once you get up the stairs you enter the most lovely common area and unit. Location was excellent...one of our best meal in Sicily was the meal right down the road at Ristorante da Antonio! Service was attentive and helpful with our arrival and departure information. Highly recommend!

Quiet rooms, clean and functional. Downside for me was that we did not get the suite we booked, but a cheaper room. That is not okay.

We had an absolutely amazing stay, Manuela could not have been more hospitable. The room is exceptionally clean and smelt of fresh linen, we had the option of Netflix on the TV and the communal breakfast and dining area was great. Wish I could give this place 10 stars

This is a beautiful B&B. It is a great location with lots of restaurants and sights within walking distance. Manuel arranged our requested transfers. The only draw back is there is no elevator. There are stairs going up about four flights. Our driver carried our luggage up. It was a lovely place to stay! We would stay there again if we went back to Catania!

We had a wonderful stay in an amazing room. Book room number 1! Large and very nicely appointed with three Juliette balconies a sitting area and amazingly comfy bed. Breakfast was very good and the hotel is located within walking distance to all the historical sites and very good restaurants. (Photo is of the ceiling in our room)

The owner/manager went above and beyond as I was delayed and arrived late.
I thought breakfast finished at 8:30. A lady came in then and said no, breakfast 8:30. I stayed had a pice of toast and yogurt. The lady was in a tizzy kept saying out by 10:30… I understood that well. Kept saying si… Had wished to take a walk before leaving. She kept repeating must clean. I was all packed up … the repetition and angst became too much so I got my bags she took one brought it to street full of grazie with a push. My dog used to watch me closely eat so I was used to it…cappuccino was milk froth. grateful for beginning, though complicated… ending not so good… felt pushed out early. It was a clean quiet room… it was a travel adventure and my first night in Sicily.

Good accomodation, clean and confortable. Isolation not the best and the environment doesn't invite for a walk during the night.
I would repeat.

The property is in the heart of the historic part of the city , within easy walking distance of all major attractions and amenities . It's location gives guests a real flavor of life in authentic Siciliano city. It is excellently well maintained, with a very warm and welcoming host who is a mine of information both local and further afield. Ignore other reviewers complaints of the surrounding noise, it's a lived in city. Enjoy the experience.

Adorable B&B in the heart of Catania. Very convenient location to visit the city, safe and walkable.
Host was amazing, she gave us great tips where to eat and what to visit, follow any advise she give you and you won’t be disappointed!!! Available free street parking around.
Only little con: no elevator.
Highly recommend!!!

We stayed two nights. We were a little skeptical of the area when we first arrive but we were not used to the city. The host, Daniella, was fantastic. She saw us and came right down. She carried the larger suitcase up the stairs. The b&b is two flights up but we did not have to go in and out too many times. The whole b&b has been updated except for the beautiful original ceiling and other architecture features. Our room had musical instruments and flowers on the ceiling. Beautiful!
We were very close to the castle which is a museum and the Duomo. There are also other things to look at which we did not have time for. She gave us a fantastic local restaurant to eat at. Trattoria Giglio Rossa on Via S Anna. The food was fantastic. The first night we had the swordfish with almonds. The second night tuna with sweet and sour onions. For pasta penne with olive oil, garlic and cherry tomatoes. Best bread we had in the three weeks we spent in Italy

Location was great and such beautiful hotel! Very clean and nicely decorated. The owner was also super nice and overall we very much enjoyed our stay. The only area for improvement was the variety of food for breakfast- most of the food was just pastries and cake, not enough (or any) cheese and meat.

Owner spoke English, gave us a map with tourist attractions & the times they were open & the cost of admission. Rooms were spacious, clean & comfortable with modern touches. Breakfast was always delicious. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent location. You to walk to all the historical places . The property is amazing and some rooms have original frescoes in the late Baroque style. Emmanuela is friendly and gives great advice about places to visit and local genuine trattorias. We felt relaxed and safe with her.
Would definitely stay there again.

The building is very old and there is no lift to the B&B which is located at 3rd floor. I have a luggage and feel tire to go upstairs when check in and go downstairs when check out.

We stayed one night at Il Leone Blu and Manuela made us feel very comfortable from start to finish. She gave us local recommendations and even extended breakfast for us the next morning! The B&B is fully renovated but maintains all the original Italian details, and was super clean. Thanks for a great stay!

Manuela's property is both beautiful and ideally located. The building interior, recently restored, is stunning. The location is near to the main squares, and easily within walking distance of several major sights and nice restaurants.
As a host, Manuela gave us a great greeting and offered her time and effort for helping us with some logistics. She went above and beyond, without question.
Awesome stay. Fantastic service. I would recommend staying here.
Manuela, thank you for a lovely time in Catania.

A very nice, friendly and well run B&B steps from the attractions of Catania. Wonderful, comfortable rooms, with a touch of class, in an old house but renovated with care and attention to detail. A great place to stay in Catania!

This place is so beautiful. All freshly renovated with spacious airy rooms. Central to everything... walk to the castle, the cathedral, the market and the shopping district. But the real gem is Manuela your host. Gracious and lovely. So friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I will go back without a doubt.

Rooms are magnificently restored and bathroom was clean and modern. Ceiling in bedroom we stayed in is a work of art in itself. Some stairs to climb in dingy hallway, but host helps with bags. Location is central to most every site. Area could use a tune-up, but was safe and not out of line with what we saw in the rest of Catania. Restaurants in area recommended by host were excellent and very reasonable. Host, Manuela, was very informative, efficient and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

The B&B was very nice. The hosts were very helpful, they recommend some very great local restaurants. They were able to give us a map with very detailed information about where to go and what to see. The room was amazing with a huge shower and a balcony. I would definitely stay here again.
