I liked the architecture and the design of the rooms especially. The restaurant and bar area were spacious and welcoming and the views were great. |

The convenience of the hotel's central location and (packed) car park give the hotel a niche in this old crowded city where the only other parking facilities are on the street. The gilded wainscoting, a dark red carpet and the dark green wallpaper in the bedroom were difficult to "lighten up" even with all the lights turned on. The hotel is baroque; with heavy baroque furnishings added. |

The staff very friendly location was central however maybe a shuttle bus to the train/bus station would be good idea as it is uphill The dinner was very expensive for what we got and was only ok and I felt there could have been a better variety for breakfast. The resturant is not a noce atmosphere for dinner they could have closed off sections when not busy, wasn't very cosy. Access to the hot tub should have been part of the price |

Great hospitality, very good location of the hotel versus the historic parts of the city Catania. Rooms provide a warm atmosphere and excellent comfort. Breakfast buffet with a view on the city. Roof solarium with even better view on city and Etna. Jacuzzi on the rooftop did not work... but minor detail |

The Staff were very helpful and the location suited our purpose. Noisey, a/c has a mind of its own. TV screen far too small. and 2 of the lights remained unoperational during our stay |

The rooms were comfortable and clean and staff were helpful.Was able to park the car with little trouble which in Catania is no mean task.Shower in room - fantastic, Very dark lighting - for effect I know but too dark. Was not able to use the dining room as a function was on so the advertised terrace restaurant was not assessible - alternative dining area was poor. |

Our room was clean and very comfortable with a great bathroom, the location of the hotel was perfect - downtown but not too far from the airport, we needed a parking spot and we got one in the hotel that was safe for our rental car, and most of all we enjoyed our dinner on the terrace - the food was sensational, the service (especially Faisal) was impeccable and we got a surprise treat as that night was Tango night. |

Extremely well situated, beautifully decorated and well appointed throughout. Large, comfortable room with great bathroom which included both whirlpool bath and separate shower. Amazingly quiet and tranquil, especially given its location in the middle of this busy city. A real 'find', and very good value. I would definitely stay there again, and would recommend it to others. We booked to have dinner in the roof-top restaurant, but were not told that a large reception was being hosted there. We were seated in a small room adjoining the restaurant, and this was a disappointment. However, the food and wine were excellent. |

Lovely. Great location, 200m from Via Etnea.Superb staff, hotel amenities and rooms excellent. Parking facilities very good and it's a must in Catania. We really enjoyed and we highly recommend.If we go back to Sicily we will check no other hotel for sure. 100% value for money. We had a room with a private terrace, and one night we locked ourselves out, which is quite impossible as the door does not lock itself from the outside, but it happened. The door has no handle from which to pull from the outside, so we couldn't open it.The Hotel staff had to open the door from inside our room. We laughed about it afterwards, it was really a funny incident. |

Reasonably priced hotel with many comforts. Great food in the restaurant. The best was Elias at the front desk. Nothing was too much trouble for him. My wife wanted to take him home with us! |

This hotel is in the heart of the city (Duomo Piazza, Bellini Piazza) with reasonable prices and fine breakfast (not just a croissant and cafe); from perspective nice alternative to B&Bs. |
