The room was modern, spotless, spacious, and had the most beautiful view of the Duomo. Waking up to that view was something special. I only wish I had more time to stay at the hotel and enjoy it. And don’t forget to check out the rooftop. The views over Catania are absolutely beautiful and the perfect way to take in the city.

"My family and I were stranded in Catania recently, when our flight was grounded for several days due to volcanic activity. We were fortunate enough to have found this gem of a hotel and I can’t begin to express how grateful we are to the family that runs this place. Their kindness to us during a very stressful time was heartwarming. And the hotel itself is amazing. There is an elevator onsite (a real treat among most smaller European city hotels). The rooms are beautiful, clean, and spacious, equipped with a kitchenette, a balcony, and air conditioning. The hotel breakfast (included) was a godsend, as was the onsite restaurant, where we had some of the most delicious meals we had in our month-long stay in Sicily. And the hotel’s location, right in the center of town, allowed us to explore many parts of Catania on foot. The entire staff went out of their way to make things easy and comfortable for us, even driving us to and from the airport when our flight was cancelled yet a third time! If you are ever in Catania do not even consider staying anywhere else!"

"Hotel was well situated to get the bus into Catania or walk if feeling fit! Our room was nice, comfy bed but had issue with ants! Hotel came to deal with them immediately but they were still quite a lot in the room and bathroom. We also had a blocked sink which again they dealt with. Breakfast was typically European with nice pastries, cakes were pretty tasteless though and scrambled eggs were often cold which wasn't great. Restaurant had good food, very tasty but pricey; €18 for a pretty bland mozzarella and tomato salad Overall we'd give it 3.5 stars."
