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

We couldn't fault our stay—everything was excellent from start to finish. Check-in was quick and efficient, with Erika being especially friendly and helpful, which made us feel very welcome. Our room was clean and spacious, providing a comfortable base for our visit. When we went to reception to book a table at the hotel restaurant for dinner and breakfast, Rita greeted us with a cheerful and helpful attitude, adding to the positive experience. The rooftop restaurant is a highlight not to be missed. The food at dinner and breakfast was delicious breakfast with many Sicilian treats, and the view of Mount Etna made it truly memorable. Highly recommended!

Location is great , property seems like it used to apartment building and they turn it to hotel. My son left his wallet there and I called over 5 times and emailed every time they pick up and hang up on my face! On the spot they were very friendly but honestly now it’s beyond annoying as it’s been 5 days and no answers yet

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.
