Great, reasonably priced hotel, near the airport. Very nice helpful receptionist/owner, the room was very big and very clean with a balcony. Its in an industrial area but we were in transition so didn’t mind. There was a good continental breakfast and they gave us a shuttle ride to the train station at a good price. No elevator but that wasn’t much of a problem.

Very close to the airport which is what I needed for a very early flight. The woman at check in was very helpful to arrange a taxi for the next morning which arrived early! But once I got into the room I did not feel safe to leave. Big gates around the property and an industrial area.

Convenient near airport.

The hotel was a few minutes by car to the airport in Catania, which helped save us time for an early flight. Parking lot was gated, no problems in and out. Great shower.

Near Airport, but industrial area

A very nice lady checked us in. But there are no onsite employees. You must coordinate in advance. Breakfast not available until around 8 am. Not good for an airport hotel. Pros: Close to the airport, clean. Cons: overpriced, no services, tiny shower.

This place is good for business travelers who are driving their own car. For seniors , there are no elevators. Also the property is in an isolated/ndustrial looking location. There are no places to eat around the area. Centro is 20 minutes away by taxi. The hosts were friendly but limited in communicating in English. Free breakfast is limited. For us specifically, this was not a great choice.

This is a bare minimum stay. No lift or help and you must bring all the suitcases upstairs yourself. Stuff is very unfriendly and they kick you out at 10 o’clock in the morning or pay extra! Even to keep the luggage in storeroom, they want to charge you. we are on the road for more than two months and traveling around the world – this is the worst hotel we’ve seen so far.

Good option for airport

This is a very clean hotel close to the airport. Parking is on sit. Breakfast is served. Beds comfortable and ac worked great. It wasn't quite and everything is very basic. It was perfect for us to catch an early flight. A good option for a quick stop over.
