Not a hotel, but a floor in a building with a few a apartments - reception just a few hours (much less than was written) - no buffet breakfast (corona is an excuse for everything...)

A group of us came over to Catania to take part in Etna parkrun. We chose this hotel due to it being close to Catania centre and the value plus the fact we could book all the rooms so it was just us. The hotel staff were very friendly and helped us with anything we needed. The only downside we had was the market was right outside the hotel so every 5am some of our party were woken by the noise of them setting up.

A nice location close to the city centre and to the metro. The hotel is ok for the price we paid. Personnel is nice and friendly. Reception is not open h24 but this wa not an issue

Check in was easy and staff were friendly and helpful. Overall the room was spacious and comfortable, the shower area has a lot of mold. Shower Screen was not very effective and could do with replacement. Wifi worked well. Breakfast was average typicla of Italian Hotels. Location was very good with easy access to the city area and restaurants. Hotel is dated and tired needs a refurb. However overall we were happy with our stay. If arriving by car be aware that the streets around the hotel are taken up by daily markets from 5am to 2pm.

Good hotel with friendly staff. Nice to have a little breakfast in the morning too. Large room with big windows, a plus! Clean and big washroom.

This hotel is in a good location close to the town center, and offers good value. The staff were also helpful.

Hotel is clean. Staff is friendly especially the guy who prepares breakfast: his attention to the guest is uncommon. The location is near all main historical spots. I would recommend it.

Stayed for one night. The Alibus stops near the hotel so it's very convenient. You can walk to downtown in 15 mins. Staffs were very friendly. Room was clean. Breakfast was good. Value for money. When we have booked. We chose 1 queen bed but there was not even 1 queen bed, we got only twin beds pushed together and it wasn't comfortable at all as there was always spece between 2 beds. For overall, if you need somewhere to stay near the city and doesn't want to spend a big money. The hotel catania town is a good choice.

Everybody should know that this hotel is in the middle of a big daily market that lasts from 5am to 2pm. It is impossible to get there by car in those hours. It is difficult to read the street names because the stands cover them. A nightmare. The surrounding area is a representation of all third worlds. And to consider that Catania in that area is highly congested even without the market. Save yourself unnecessary aggravations. Stay out of Catania and go into the city on a public bus.

I'm quite satisfied with my stay in this hotel, even though I have some critics too, but they are more about the neighborhood than about the hotel. The hotel is not big (actually occupies the second floor in a building). The first thing you need to know is that you shouldn't look for a big sign, but for a small plate by the door. The second warning is about the reception working hours, which are only 6-21. So for late arrivals or extremely early check-outs you might have some problems. Apart from that, everything in the rooms looks and feels good, breakfast is nice for Italy and a 3-star property, and the service is the best of all - including the English everybody there speaks. The good things... Free breakfast, free and fast wifi, very convenient location, just meters from one of the stops of the airport bus (named Alibus). Walking distance to the historic center (less than 1 km, via one of the main shopping streets in Catania). The not so good... At first the area doesn't look very well - not too clean, with a lot of street vendors around, mostly African migrants, but actually they proved to present no security risk whatsoever - and there is enough police everywhere. Also the distance to the extraurban bus and train stations is 1.2 km and one day there will be metro to there, but it's not working yet - and because Google knows nothing about the local transport options, you'll most probably have to walk.

We really enjoyed our stay, and were VERY pleased with the level of service from the reception staff!!

location could not be better--for train,bus,old town sites,and resturants!----room ,clean but no clock or coffee maker--bathroom,very good!---tv,no English at all----breakfast,ok!--staff,good!--7 rooms,felt very safe!

Nice hotel, perfect for visiting Catania and being in the heart of the attractions. Not very close to the beaches but still centrally located. Rooms were nice and clean, decent size. Could have used some better pillows or more pillows....front desk was closed by the time I realized this fact, so perhaps if I would have asked they would have supplied more. The staff I had exposure to was very helpful,checking in was smooth. He was able to help me with arranging a taxi to airport at 4:30am. Fixed rate was 30 euro. Seemed steep but not a lot of options at that time of the day. Took us about 12-15 mins to get to airport - obviously no traffic at that time.

I went for a short break with my family, perfect locations, every shop is walking distance. The charming market is under the hotel so you wont have any problem finding it. The Hotel staff is very help full and the rooms are spacious and tidy. We had no noise issues although it is in the very centre of Catania. Thank you Santo for our stay, see you soon.

Overnight stay, staff very friendly and helpful. The neighbourhood isnt the nicest but central

Advertised city view was not observable from our room. Disappointing. Downside: noisy setting up of market stalls in street below our room from 05.00 ensured that we did not sleep in! Good staff with good english. Taxi fare from train station is approx €8. If ordering a taxi through hotel insist on taxi with meter rather than a courtesy car @ €25!!

This hotel takes up the second floor of a buisiness building near the market. From my window menacing men waved and invited me down if I didn't keep my window closed. I tried to watch the Euro Cup game on my TV, but it did not even turn on. They moved me and all of the things I had unpacked to a different room, this one had a TV that lost its signal every 15 seconds. There was a mini refiridgerator which also did not work. They took great pains to type up and put in plastic a list of emergency numbers next to the phone along with how to make a call, but the phone line was dead. I asked the man and young woman who hang out in the lobby watching TV and eating pizza if I could get a refund for the second day so that I could check into a real hotel since none of the amenities listed on the website were available and was told "no refunds" by the young woman . I had hot water on the first morning for a shower, but the water was cold for the next 30 hours, even if you let it run for 5 or 10 minutes, no hot water. Giorgia, who is at the desk in the morning, is the only employee who should not be fired. She is very polite and helpful.

Its in the middle of the street market and shopping district. If youre looking for something, anything this is the place. There is a large parking structure near the hotel with reasonable rates.There was a water problem during my stay but the staff attended to it quickly. Still enjoyed my stay.

The hotel was a little difficult to find because it was inconspicuous, especially when markets were blocking the entrance. The hotel staff were very friendly in helping us find buses from Catania to other cities. The rooms were decent and clean. It was a very enjoyable stay, especially for that price.

An average place for the stay in Catania. I would recommend the hotel for the others.

Although we arrived in wet conditions, we found the hotel very comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful in all aspects. The hotel is located centrally but its not the most picturesque area. The breakfast is quite good with a variety of foods.

Close to city centre but market immediately outside. Not noisy but impossible for taxi to park. Convenient for most attractions, buses and trains. No balcony or outside areas , just room and bar area where breakfast was served. Not suitable for families

It was a great location close to historic district and street markets set up directly outside. Hotel is on second level of building similar to many places I've stayed in Sicily. The owner is a genius hiring all these gorgeous girls working there lol. But they were professional and friendly and one spoke English fluently. She was amazing and if she reads this I hope she contacts me

I was in Catania for 4 days to attend a wedding and associated festivities. This was the perfect location and everything I needed, especially to sleep in late (blackout curtains, AC, quiet, etc.) The staff was super helpful and even let me store my luggage until my room was ready (I showed up at 7am) so I could go explore the old part of the city, which is only a few blocks away. Hotel is located in a great area with an outdoor market just outside the door, cafe/bars across the street and an awesome grocery store 1.5 blocks down.

Informative staff. I have no complaints about this hotel. Excellent arrangement for airport transportation. I would recommend you. Simple but efficient.

The hotel is tucked up a small backstreet behind an office type door but once inside is great.

This hotel is good value - a central location, clean rooms and considerate helpful staff at an affordable price. It is recommended as a good place to stay within walking distance of all the main tourist sites in central Catania plus the Railway/Bus Station which gives easy access to day trips to Taoromina, Etna and Siracusa.
