This is a basic affordable hotel located in a north suburb of Catania near the beach walk. The hotel has an inconvenient and dangerous access to the road and offers limited amenities. No outdoor space to gather. Front desk staff are very nice and helpful. Breakfast is ok. That being said it is clean and affordable and near a beautiful section of Mediterranean with some restaurants and cafes. I wish they would fix their entrance and make access safer and more convenient and add some nice tables to the front and it would be so much better! Hope they do this.

This property is not as promoted in their photos online. There was a pool advertised and no pool to be found. The outside of the hotel resembles a penitentiary, the maximum security kind (again, not as presented in photos). The center piece outside is a column of rusted gas or electric meters that frame the entrance to give you that charming feel of early 90s Beirut. The staff overall was marginally hospitable and did the bare minimum to make you feel welcome. I was given a handicapped room with handicapped bathroom (even though there were others available) and I am not handicapped… i spent my time soaking wet from sink to toilet to shower as if all were meant to be experienced as one. To get into the parking lot required a gps, an atlas and the exploratory skills of a cipher decoder. I am certain Columbus had an easier time navigating the Atlantic. On top of that, the entire property is enveloped by enough cement and fencing to ward off an enemy attack. I was traveling with a crew of 6 and if we were not on a tight schedule, I would have rather chosen to sleep outdoors with the rest of the carneys operating the carnival rides that inexplicably surrounded the area. Oh and by the way, there was no WiFi the entire time we were there and they refused to fix it. Also, once their breakfast area closed, there was no way to even get a glass of water all day. The only saving grace was that they did allow us to check out late which was appreciated. Please do better.

A reasonably priced basic room

A reasonably price renovated hotel. The exterior is deceiving as it looks run down, however the rooms were nicely renovated however basic. Service was attentive and friendly. Breakfast was good. Location is great, however sights are mostly 3-4 km away. Parking was included.

Although we had paid for a 24 sq m quadruple room with one double bed and two single beds, we only got an 18 sq m room with two double beds. The interior is new, modern and clean. The breakfast was quite good by Italian standards. There is construction work going on in the building, on weekdays you will be woken up by the noise of the ongoing construction work. There is no view from the windows. The area around the hotel looks like a ghetto, no sidewalks, no working street lights.

This hotel is definitely not a 4 star property. It is located out in no-where, close to water but far away from city center and beach are. The building looks like a factory located in an industrial zone. First floor rooms are terrible virtually no windows, bathroom water basin did not drain, there was no toilet seat etc

Great place!

Staff were super friendly & welcoming. The room was modern & clean. Location wasn’t too bad (10min walk to the nearest train station and is only 2 stops from the centre which takes 7mins). The only issue is, the entrance/outside can look confusing.

Good for the value

We have a nice experience. Staff is friendly and attentive. Hotel was well maintained. Breakfast abundant and delicious. Room was as we expected on the published pictures. The only disappointment was that the hotel has a very uncomfortable entrance through the parking lot and once on the street there was not sidewalk. Definitely, not pedestrian friendly. At night we have to call front desk to open the gate for us. Other than that, everything was fine

Hotel ok - Zona Perigosa

A experiência com o hotel foi positiva, mas deixo um alerta importante a todos os turistas que planeiam visitar a Sicília: há muitos grupos organizados italianos especializados em assaltar turistas, especialmente nesta zona. No segundo dia da nossa viagem em Catania, o nosso carro foi arrombado e todos os bens pessoais e documentos foram roubados e não tínhamos nada à mostra. Ao apresentar queixa na esquadra desta mesma cidade encontrámos vários casais que tinham passado pelo mesmo. A reação da polícia siciliana foi de total indiferença o que é lamentável. Infelizmente, não voltarei nem recomendo a visita, o que é uma pena, pois a ilha tem lugares realmente bonitos. No entanto, valorizo a segurança e o bem-estar acima de tudo e aqui senti que ambos estavam gravemente comprometidos.
