I had a great stay at this hotel. Rita did an absolutely outstanding job at check-in. She was extremely welcoming and spent extra time recommending dining options in the area. The room was clean and spacious. The view - amazing. The location couldn't be more perfect - it's right on the main pedestrian street with easy access to everything. All the staff were courteous and pleasant. If I ever come back to Catania, I would stay here again.

Beautiful property, but our experience with the hotel’s concierge ruined a valuable day of travel. We like to book our excursions through the hotel to ensure that the vendor has been well-vetted. We booked a full day tour (with the concierge) starting at 8 am (we had a very tight travel day and had to start early) However the tour guide never showed. The concierge arranged a substitute (showing up 2 hours later), but failed to clarify the terms of the excursion: the guide brought us back to the hotel having taken us to just one of the two promised destinations. We ended up losing 4 hours of touring time just waiting for tour guides. In the end, we had to book a private transfer back to Palermo instead of taking the train (costing us close ti $300 extra dollars). All of the issues trace back to the poor service provided by this hotel’s concierge team. The hotel is beautiful, the location, perfect and the rooftop restaurant is exceptional. The concierge service just ruined a full day of our trip.

Highly recommended

We were wonderfully welcomed by Rita who gave us detailed information about the city and its highlights. Our room was spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed a tasty dinner in the rooftop restaurant with great views of the city and Mount Etna. We liked the breakfast buffet.

The hotel is in dire need of remodelling, some of the areas are shabby. There are few public spaces and the dining options are very limited. The staff in the breakfast area and front desk were friendly and worked hard. Catania was once an attractive city. Neglect, graffiti and litter are my main memory. Easy access to Mt Etna, and numerous attractive surrounding areas are the only reason to stay there.

Great location, expected better customer service

We arrived at the hotel and realized there’s no AC in the rooms (there is but not for cold only heater), we also booked the hotel in part because we saw it has a roof top restaurant with great views and then found out we were not allowed because of a private event, the manager was helpful but very dry and short on words. Hotel is greatly located and in great condition, breakfast buffet is nice and rooms are very clean.
