Superb location in the old city center with a short walking distance to the main sights - Piazza del Duomo, the fish market, Via Crociferi, Via Etnea etc. Nicely restored stylish property with clean, well appointed rooms. We had a very nice room over the stairs on via Alessi. Good breakfast buffet with both sweet and savory stuff. A special mention for fresh mandarin and red orange juices. Highly recommended! Wi-Fi functional only in the lobby, in the room access to internet with cable adsl.

Perfect location at the very heart of the city - and a very good price for that. My room was very quiet and comfortable. The staff speaks good English and immediately responds to all requests. I really recommend the place. I think that a four-star hotel must have an iron in each room. Bathroom fitting is a bit shabby (I mean E.G. the shower which drops down every time you try to put it in the holder, so you have to hold it all the time while washing). Finally, I don't quite understand why the heater, set at 26 degrees, has to go on every time you leave the room, and then has to be manually switched off when you come back. 26 is a bit hot for an average traveller, and actually when it's 19-21 degrees outside, you need neither heating nor cooling. It's such a waste! But as you see, these are all minor complaints which do not seriously affect the traveller's comfort.

Everything was first rate.' The breakfast, the free internet connection, and help parking the car in a difficult urban location were all stand- outs and the best of any of the hotels on our 17 day tour of Sicily. Furthermore, we left about $700 worth of cash and items in the safe and closet and they were all secured and waiting for us when we returned two days later. Very trustworthy staff.

I enjoyed the location of the hotel. I did not like the fact that at the end of April there was no air condition, my room was hot. Also, if you have to have the window open it can be noisy at the front of the hotel.

I find the combination of a really cental location and quality facilities rather convenient. Why on earth placing the bed on a loft when the bathroom is downstairs?

Friendly staff with good facilities. Very good location near the city centre and within walking distance of at least one very good restaurant. Vehicle access is quite limited.

This was my second time at Il Principe, and I hope to return in February 2013 ! Television: when the weather is bad, visitors are trapped in their hotel, so to be able to access television in their own language is a great help. BBC World News or CNN is something, but the opportunity to access other programmes would be beneficial.

The room was comfortable and very clean. The buffet breakfast was wonderful and the service was superior and very attentive. The reception staff was very welcoming and helped us to arrange a tour to Siracusa with a local guide who was great. The location was very good for exploring the city.

The location was fantastic and easy to find on public transport. The staff were helpful. We had a nice lunch at the hotel but the breakfast was also lovely-though 1 day there wasnt much left and they only bought out a glass of orange juice instead of filling the jug. A biggie for someone who doesnt drink tea or coffee!! But all in all the saty was good but not that much to do in Catani itself.

Great staff, good location and very clean hotel. The only problem we had, was there was only one room with breakfast and the other two had to pay for breakfast. Don't know why.
