Lock in a great price for Hotel Agathae - rated 8.5 by recent guests.

to get started.

Friendly and helpful staff and a spacious and clean room in a perfect location right on Via Etnea, the main highstreet, next to Bellini park for a nice stroll, and next to the tasty experiences in the Savia and the Spinella patisseries, the 7+ pizzeria at the back of the hotel, and the Ale Ristorante around the corner. You can catch the 534 bus for a very cheap trip to Acitrezza in Acicastello right around the corner, and any other busses right in front of the park.

Ippokratis, Greece

The staff, the location and the the room were perfect. All the staff at the reception were helpful and friendly. We could use the kitchen in the evening to make tea, which is very important for us after a tiring day ;) I would stay there again if I went there. It is very close to the bus stop for the Alibus which goes to airport, so the location is very convenient.

Aygun, Italy

Extraordinary hotel, comfortable: art, books - all tasty, very kind family, good breakfast..

Mare, Estonia

Everything was great the staff was very helpful, breakfast was really good and the room was nice and very clean.

Tiziana, Malta

Good place with a lot of art, a very comfortable terrace (for breakfast and also for relaxing), normal breakfast. Agathe's location is within the area of shops, not far from historical monuments.

Mare, Estonia

Location is very central, near bus station. Also all the turistic sites are very close.

Luisa, Romania

The hotel's location is excellent, near by or close enough we found almost all there is to see in Catania. It is situated on the main street of the city, Via Etnea which has a breathtaking view of Etna at one end and Piazza del Duomo at the other. Another advantage of this hotel is the staff: awesome, really really nice people, both day and night shifts. I travelled with my mother for her birthday and they accommodated our request for a silent, quiet room and also gave us precious hints of what's a must-see in Catania during our stay. Breakfast is not bad, not bad at all. You won't find omelettes or scrambled eggs, but you'll have almost everything else you want for breakfast. For lunch, dinner and a quick bite in between (arancini 😁) there are plenty of restaurants in this area.

Camelia, Romania

Friendly, helpful staff. Location is good - close to restaurants and the main sites of Catania. Clean. Good breakfast, with a nice outdoor terrace.

Family+fido, United Kingdom

Everything is great it's a nice comfortable hotel. The breakfast was great and enjoyed the terrace area.

Lola2605, Malta

All was perfect. The room is clean and has a big bathroom. The breakfast is a bufet and you can serve it on the hotel's terrace.

An inside look at Hotel Agathae

The Agathae Hotel B&B Catania, named after Saint Agatha, the Patron Saint of Catania, was finally rebuilt at the beginning of the last century after much of the city had been destroyed 100 years previously by a devastating earthquake. Our high vaulted ceilings, tasteful yet not intrusive interior design along with a collection of Sicilian artisan-made furniture all makes for a combination that is both pleasing to the eye and practical. Built in 1903 from the ruins of an existing building, this Liberty-style hotel is set in the heart of Catania and boasts a host of impressive amenities, making it the ideal setting for your break.

Property surroundings – Guests loved walking around the neighbourhood!

Some Baroque monuments in Catania's old town, nestled below Mount Etna, can claim a unique building material. That's not regular stone — it's lava.

What travellers love about this location

“I liked the maisonette-like room with the bedroom and toilet on top of the stair. It was great to be in the neighborhood of the Bellini park and so near the city center. The balcony where breakfast is served has a great view at the Bellini park!”

Nikolaos

Greece

“The location was great. I had a single room which was only 45 euros...a bargain. My room was perfect for me with a balcony and a window. The staff was so nice and the breakfast was fine. A little jewel in Catania. So glad I stayed there!”

Cynthia

USA

“The hotel has a great location, really close to the center. The staff was very helpful and nice. Room was very clean and beds very confortable. Breakfast is more than enough. We also enjoyed our morning coffee on the terrace. Really cozy feeling. The best quality/price quota anybody can ask for. So thank you hotel Agathae for a very nice stay :)”

눉It is on via Etna, which is one of the main streets in Catania. Could be a bit noisy because of the cars passing by, this is a problem for people who sleeps light like me. For others it wouldn’t be a matter.

“Excellent staff and position”

- • Stayed 5 nights
- • Submitted via mobile
눉I really liked everything about this hotel. However the fact that the whole building has 4 floors and the hotel occupies the first, second and maybe the third floor means that everytime you want to enter the hotel, you have to buzz them downstairs (at main entrance of the building). The staff is always nice and quick to let you in, no matter how often you come and go, but at some point I kind of felt bad to have had to disturb them all the time. Maybe an entrance key would be more appropriate.
눇The hotel's location is excellent, near by or close enough we found almost all there is to see in Catania. It is situated on the main street of the city, Via Etnea which has a breathtaking view of Etna at one end and Piazza del Duomo at the other.
