Hotel Royal  

position in city and availability of parking were excellent.

The air conditioning system in the room was erratic and noisy causing discomfort and poor sleep. An inoperative light made the use of the main mirror impossible. Staff did not respond to complaints on either issue until I asked to see the owner and threatened to refuse payment. The hotel is a triumph of design over functionality.

The hotel is modern and clean. Well positioned in a lively street which is well lit during the night. You can basically walk anywhere from the Central location. Renato, the receptionist was very kind and gave us good recommendations on places to eat.

The light switches were a little fiddly at first (i.e. works by an electric remote control) but not an issue.

Very pleasant stay. Very supportive personnel, always ready to help. Great (and large) room with a good city view, large & comfortable bathroom. Important: safe, convenient unlimited parking inside the hotel courtyard for EUR10/night ! Excellent café & capucino at breakfast !

Breakfast buffet composition could be improved.

Thx to staff the hotel is very friendly to stay. For the rest it's very good choice for its price.

A bit lack of light in the room. But I'm sure it's not a case in summer season.

Great staff, good location. Enjoyed my stay there very much. Fantastic value for money

The rooms are nice, clean and quiet . The service is good. Hotel staff is able to speak English. There is free internet available for the hotel guests.

The breakfast is rather continental and choice is limited. It is suffcient not to be hungry but do not expect wide choice of dishes.

The staff are delightful. They could not have done more to make us feel welcome and were helpful throughout our stay.

The lighting in the rooms was inadequate for the size of the rooms. Either more or brighter lighting would help. I was badly bitten by mosquitoes, but I do like to sleep with my window open! The hotel is halfway up a very steep hill and is not served by a bus. My mother who is 79 found this quite difficult. This isn't the hotels fault of course but older travellers might need to be aware of this.

superb hotel in a great location and very friendly and helpful staff.

Location in the heart of the historical center, spacious room, interior decoration like of a baroque palace combined with 21st century high tech solutions, good restaurant with a terrace on the first floor with view to the old city. Parking is on site but €10 extra per night. Staff speak English and very helpful. Good value for the money.

Remote controlling all facilities, even the curtain, was frustrating. Lights in the room were inadequate, we packed our suitcases practically in darkness after dinner.

The hotel is located in Old Town Catania. Its decor based on the same era but very clean and well maintained. The staff are really helpful. Great location - walking distance to loads of historical sites. recommended.

The location is very center and easy to remember. The breakfast is good. Room is classic style.

The stuff are nice but not Professional.

Courteous receptionist. Old palazzo but renovated. Best of both worlds. Excellent location: quiet, yet just 5 minutes from the main attractions.

Poorly maintained. The fan of the air conditioning system didn't work. Instead of sending a person to come up to see what was wrong, the receptionist offered us another room because there was no one who could fix it at that time (3:30 in the afternoon). In the second room, the air con worked, but the hair dryer did not work. The TV also didn't work. There was no additional outlet for our own hair dryer. We ended up drying the hair in the hallway.

The room had a nice view on the old city. There was a patio for sitting outside (without a view). The breakfast was on a nice terrace outside.

There was no wifi. Room was quite dark and complicated system for remote control of appliances.
