Our room was adequate and comfortable and the location of the hotel is great. Staff are friendly and professional. Clean towels and clean bedding daily which was great. The breakfast however was disappointing. The TV did not have a signal and no streaming was available on it. There was no water or coffee facilities provided and no usb ports in room. The shower area needed a really good de-scaling and clean.

We had a room level with steps leading to two churches and next to two bars and nightclubs. Noisy! Also, our neighbor in the room next door had a cough, which we could hear loud and clear throughout the night. The staff is excellent; the breakfast is mediocre at best. We recommend the hotel due to the outstanding location.

Area immediately around property isn’t much, but the hotel is centrally located to be walkable to nearby sights, shopping, and restaurants. Hotel is pretty dated, so rooms are not modern. Steam room is/was down during my stay. Staff was amazing, very helpful. Overall, decent stay.

Great location and excellent staff. Hotel rooms were nice but were obviously ageing, peeling paint and poor quality shower heads. That being said, was still worth staying for a day or so, but would be difficult to stay here for days on end. Otherwise a great experience.

If you want a good location above quality of property this is the one for you. Otherwise, it’s like stepping into the 70s. Tired, worn, in places dirty - bath doesn’t drain when having a shower. Staff refused to let us have two additional pillows, only allowing us one to supplement the thin single pillow given each. Definitely no service with a smile either - but that’s Catania generally
