Very nice room in central location.
Nice old hotel in city. Room with upstairs loft and 1 1/2 baths. Very clean room and comfortable bed. Small balcony overlooking city was fun to watch people going about their days and nights. Close to many sites. Food at hotel was fair. Rooftop has a beautiful view of Mt. Etna but food and service were not good. AC good.

Lovely views and stellar customer service
This place was great. They go out of their way to make the stay comfy. Valet parking; restaurant and breakfast were stellar. They keep the place real clean and leave you a treat on your pillow. There are great views on the rooftop terrace in the restaurant. The price was very reasonable as well.

Lovely hotel in heart of Catania. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated and balcony with view of Mt Etna. Breakfast was calm and delicious. Rooftop restaurant is great overlooking Etna. Staff friendly and helpful. Fridge would be good to cool water. Cab from airport charged 50 Euro - get a quote first.

OK
Sun terrace isn’t really a terrace at all but has a couple of chairs.
The rooftop doesn’t open until 1pm and if you want breakfast there, you have to Pay extra, even if you’ve already included breakfast in your stay. Service for a drink there takes years. You
