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

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Pro: - They have extra large rooms and bathrooms - the AC works well - extremely well located Cons: - barely any street parking and if you do find it you have to battle with the machines and pray they take a credit card and you understand the instructions in Italian - the shower was small but the shower entrance was miniscule.. im fat and could barely get in. It hurt me. - there are three steps to go up and another three to go down to the very old , tiny elevator but then there are 25 marble stairs to move your suitcases to the rooms and its painful - old and outdated bed covers/sheets and bad springy mattress - there is no one at the check in so to access the courtyard you need to correspond via WhatsApp with management and pray they answer your message. After 8pm they are not available . - there is a parking they work with which is NOT next door and its $15 but needs to be reserved in advance however they might forget and tell you there is no space when in fact you reserved it before
