Older building with older amenities but a great view of the courtyard. I would stay again. A number of different restaurants that are walking distance. We had a very nice time stairs only i didn't see a elevator
Great location. Walkable to a lot of great places to see in Catania. Clean and safe.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was very friendly even helped me out with my luggage since it was quite heavy.
They didn’t speak English but it’s alright I used google translate so all was shorted out. My only issue is that it was advertised that my room would have a Duomo view and it didn’t which was a very unpleasant experience as I booked the place only because of that reason.
Overall no issue!
The hotel is located at the center of major tourist attractions, restaurants and transportation. The furniture and fixtures are old but the hotel is very clean.
No elevator or food available at the hotel.
Great views from the room.
This hotel met my needs exactly. I am a man traveling alone. I wanted to be near the center of town, the Piazza. I wanted a simple room that was clean and had a low price. The hotel was all of these. They did not have breakfast. The staff was helpful. My needs were limited, but this hotel turned out to be a perfect choice.
Very very good location at the main square. Easy to find, friendly staff. I really like this place. Youre close to everything. AC and bathroom ok. The bed wasnt the best. No elevator and narrow satirs. Small breakfast included.
The hotel is at the best possible location, directly at the Duomo square. As a budget hotel, it meets the typical Italian standards, the room is dated but clean, the bathroom was updated and modern but the shower was very small. There is no elevator but that suits me fine since elevators in buildings like these tend to be clunky, so I avoid them in any case. Breakfast was a voucher to get a hot drink and pastry at the best cafe in the square, which is my favorite way of doing breakfast in Italy, so this worked out great.
I’m not sure who left the positive reviews on this hotel, but I have a feeling it was probably the owners family, employees or friends. This place was a dump. I left after 2 out of the 4 nights that I reserved for.
First the positives. Then location was top notch. My balcony looked over the Duomo so I had views of all the action. The windows were double pained so with the use of my noise canceling earbuds, the noise didn’t bother me at all. The balcony was small but very enjoyable.
Now for the cons. This hotel looks like something a foreign journalist would stay in if they were visiting one of the world’s most dangerous countries. Our room looked like someone attempted to decorate it with a super limited budget. The walls were painted orange but had big black smear marks in several places. The bed was very flimsy and made creaking noises every time I moved. My pillow smelled awful. I looked in the pillowcase and saw that it had an old foam insert wrapped with some kind of batting. The blanket in the wardrobe was falling apart. The bathroom was sub par and smelled like sewage. The air conditioning in the room was old and not adjustable. The hallway was not air conditioned so it was uncomfortable trying to climb the stairs in the heat. The common toilet was grossly stained.
This hotel would be good for people who want a cheap price and doesn’t have to have comfort. But if you want a nice place to stay in Catania, this will not be the place for you.
The location was good, close to piazza del duomo the main square, and it was very
convenient if using public transportation.
This hotel is not a 3 star as stated on the
website site, it’s a 2 star. The breakfast was
at a bar close to the hotel. It was only a coffee and croissant and not a full breakfast as stated on your web site. There was no safe in the room and the web stated that there was a safe. The bathroom was disgusting, not very clean , dirty tiles, the
shower was just a corner with a small shower curtain, the water would overflow the rest of the bathroom. I very disappointed with this hotel , I would never here again.
Awful stay. Aircon leaks like a dripping tap if you have it on. We had to put the bin under it to catch the water that ran down the door frame. At night the temperature display is so bright it lights up the room, if you turn it off the room smells stale.
Pillows were like trying to sleep on a brick.
Only saw one member of staff, at the front desk, and they were very unapproachable and unfriendly
Nice location, central for everything but noisy late into the night with old windows/frames
Traditional style room with lots of dark wood furniture
Wouldn’t stay again, more like 2 star than 3 stars when compared to everything else we have stayed in across Italy & Sicily
Lovely sized room with an amazing view of the square. Excellent soundproofing, good facilities. Walking distance of the train station and great for transport links.
