The staff at the hotel was super friendly and helpful. The area was really nice and quiet. The room was more outdated than we expected but it did the job and the hotel itself was nice. The area around it though was all graffiti and not what we expected. It’s a shame really.

Absolutely ideal position for all the city centre historical and religious sights, easy walking distance to Borsalino bus station for airport bus, or buses to Etna region. Suffers a little from scruffiness of the city in general. Deluxe room was spacious and comfortable with good wifi, and even BBC News on tv ch 411. Bathroom a little dated, but perfectly adequate. Breakfast pretty good, though no Parma ham, olives or Ricotta/Mozzarella. Cakes and pastries fresh, with coffee available from bar if you didn't want it from a machine. All in all a perfectly satisfactory stay for a couple of days

Hotel in good location for bars, restaurants and shops. It was shall I say tired it could be so much more. There is a roof terrace that's not utilized which could be a great plus as the views are great but apart from a couple of loungers that's all. Had a problem with our shower which couldn't be fixed so we were offered another room but we declined as we were too busy to move all of our stuff but with a bit of Heath Robinson inspiration did a temporary fix ourselves. Breakfast was ok but then again could be better eggs tasted funny and the bacon was far too thin and crisp and no tomatoes which I found surprising in Sicily.

Our room was adequate and comfortable and the location of the hotel is great. Staff are friendly and professional. Clean towels and clean bedding daily which was great. The breakfast however was disappointing. The TV did not have a signal and no streaming was available on it. There was no water or coffee facilities provided and no usb ports in room. The shower area needed a really good de-scaling and clean.

We had a room level with steps leading to two churches and next to two bars and nightclubs. Noisy! Also, our neighbor in the room next door had a cough, which we could hear loud and clear throughout the night. The staff is excellent; the breakfast is mediocre at best. We recommend the hotel due to the outstanding location.

Area immediately around property isn’t much, but the hotel is centrally located to be walkable to nearby sights, shopping, and restaurants. Hotel is pretty dated, so rooms are not modern. Steam room is/was down during my stay. Staff was amazing, very helpful. Overall, decent stay.

Trip was great. Lovely location. Rooms are good size. Shower wasn't great - needs upgrading. Beds a bit on the hard side. I would stay there again.

Great location and excellent staff. Hotel rooms were nice but were obviously ageing, peeling paint and poor quality shower heads. That being said, was still worth staying for a day or so, but would be difficult to stay here for days on end. Otherwise a great experience.

If you want a good location above quality of property this is the one for you. Otherwise, it’s like stepping into the 70s. Tired, worn, in places dirty - bath doesn’t drain when having a shower. Staff refused to let us have two additional pillows, only allowing us one to supplement the thin single pillow given each. Definitely no service with a smile either - but that’s Catania generally
