Characterful hotel with beautiful courtyard but in need of some improvements
Good location for exploring the city (area not as bad as some reviews state). Amazing inner courtyard, very peaceful for reading/breakfast. Breakfast good, very helpful lady, but a bit haphazard. Room overlooked a quiet, small street, and furnishings/bathroom could be improved (not like the photos). Shower barely functioned.Good location for exploring the city (area not as bad as some reviews state). Amazing inner courtyard, very peaceful for reading/breakfast.

Location to train and bus stations were only real positive
Sometimes AI doesn’t do what you want…..but I’ll put this down to operator error in this case.Staying for 2 nights in Catania, first night arriving late, second day we travelled to Syracuse and we were off the next day so we wanted somewhere close to the train and bus stations. We got it!Other than the stations, the rest wasn’t great unfortunately. Very nice people working there but this part of t… Sometimes AI doesn’t do what you want…..but I’ll put this down to operator error in this case.Staying for 2 nights in Catania, first night arriving late, second day we travelled to Syracuse and we were off the next day so we wanted somewhere close to the train…

Good value for money at hotel near the station
Good, old-fashioned hotel. The staff were very friendly, the room was cleaned to a high standard every day and the bathroom and shower were good.Breakfast in the courtyard was plentiful with lots of choices.

Great location near the central train station
We were just there for a one night short visit as we flew into Catania and took the train out the next morning. That said, the hotel is right across the street from the central train station making it very convenient if you have train travel plans. The room was spacious and the breakfast was delicious, out on the beautiful Terraza.We were just there for a one night short visit as we flew into Catania and took the train out the next morning.

Catania old dame with good old fashioned service
Quite dated hotel that is need of an update. However everything else makes for a lovely stay in Catania. Close to the station, big room, fabulous staff and a delightful breakfast courtyard. The breakfast was also excellent.Needed to be a little further away from the main road as it’s noisy. A room facing the courtyard would be better. Book directly with hotel if you can, for a better rate.Quite dated hotel that is need of an update. However everything else makes for a lovely stay in Catania.
