“Great choice in the centre, good value and friendly.”
Great location just off Via Etnea on a quiet side road. Reception up 2 floors, my room was on the first. Really friendly owners, room was comfortable and with modern fittings, good shower and aircon. Free water in the fridge is a nice touch. Breakfast was very good, excellent espresso, and the breakfast room is amazing! Overall I'd recommend this place highly for all the reasons above, and I'll definitely come back if I'm in Catania again (which is a fascinating city, go there!)

The hotel organised a transfer from the airport which was helpful as my plane was delayed and I didn't arrive until late. The staff are friendly and helpful and the room is comfortable and air conditioned. They offer a lovely breakfast too.

“A pleasant stay”
The hotel occupies two stories inside a 18th century building, right off the main pedestrian street, Via Etnea, and looks on Minoriti church. The Alibus to the airport is steps away. Intersting restaurants that stay open late are a stone's throw. The location is unbeatable. The 1st floor room was big enough, and the wooden shutters blocked light and noise efficiently. The bathroom had a good blow-dryer and - miracle of miracles - a magnifying mirror. Shower easy to operate. Two bottles of water were offered in the fridge They also offered mosquito protection. Instant tea and coffee with kettle. Staff is friendly. Breakfast is ample, including hard/boiled eggs, mortadella, ham, cheese, and fruit. (I point this out as Sicilians tend to have sweets for breakfast.)
