It was very suitable for our overnight stay after an evening arrival - only about 10 minutes from the airport and easy to find with satnav, road map and signs for the hotel from the airport. Receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. It was ideal for an overnight stay or for business. The pool was well-screened from the main road. As we were only there for one night there was nothing that we didn't like.

The hotel is in a very convenient location, 10 minutes away from the airport and well sign posted, so very handy if you have an early flight or late arrival. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the breakfast has a good selection. It ticks all the boxes if you need to sleep somewhere that's clean and convenient to reach from the airport. The hotel doesn't have a great atmosphere but if you chose a hotel on a motorway, this probably isn't what you're looking for anyway.

We stayed in this hotel for one night on our arrival in Sicily. It is within a few kilometres of the airport so it is convenient for evening flights. The room was clean; the restaurant offered a good choice of food and the freshly squeezed orange juice at breakfast was delicious. The staff were helpful and polite and we felt it was good value for money. It was difficult to find but that was more to do with the lack any useful road signs at the airport. But once found it was straightforward.

Too cold and not confortable at all. A trip from the airport to the hotel (which is quite close) is very expensive.

Very easily found. Very close to the airport. When the airline 'misplaced' our luggage the staff was very helpful with making phonecalls, and translating for us. Very Noisy! Although we were in a different building, we were kept awake by men talking just ourside the lobby until after 2 am. Also the Internet was never up.

A good no nonsense hotel. We needed a one night stay after coming in on a late flight with 2 children (5 & 7 years old). Hotel provided adjoining rooms (as booked) and for a good price. Check in was smooth and hassle free and the rooms were fine for the price. Everything was clean and comfortable. Included breakfast was basic but did the job. I don't think we'd stay here for our entire holiday as this place is obviously aimed at business travelers but for a one night stay near the airport it was perfect. No complaints. It suited our needs perfectly.

Closeness to Catania Airport - this was reason for our stay as ba flight gets in at 20.00. A bit difficult to find in dark and if you miss exit on motorway it's a 14 km round trip back!

The location to the highways was wonderful. It is close to the US Navy bases and the onsite restaurant was a great feature. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. The rooms were not smoke free.

Wir haben das Hotel wegen der guten Erreichbarkeit vom Flughafen aus gewählt. Eignet sich als Übernachtungsmöglichkeit für frühe oder späte Flüge. Sauber und zweckmäßig. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

à 5 mn de l'aeroport, pratique pour une arrivée tardive ou un départ matinal mais juste pour une nuit attention, il faut supporter les avions qui survolent l'hotel à basse altitude et l'autoroute à coté ! petit dejeuner et restaurant très moyen.
