One of our top picks in Catania.The Mercure Catania Excelsior is set in the heart of Catania. It combines classic architecture with modern facilities, including free WiFi throughout and a fitness centre. Villa Bellini Park is 10 minutes' walk away.

Most of the elegant guest rooms feature a panoramic balcony with views of Mount Etna or Piazza Giovanni verga square.

After a day sightseeing, guests can relax in the fitness centre's hydromassage showers.

A sweet and savoury breakfast is available daily. Overlooking the garden, the restaurant serves traditional Sicilian cuisine accompanied by a selection of local wines.

Catania Cathedral is 1 miles from the property, while Catania Centrale Train Station is a 10-minute drive away.

Too much hot inside the room since November temperature was around 20 to 22 degrees and the hotel had turned their system to the heat as they informed us. Therefore no cold air at all. Could not open the windows since there were too many mosquitos. The heat along with mosquitos resulted to uncomfortable sleep.
Comfortable beds, spacious room and a big delicious variety of choices for breakfast.

The hotel is very shabby: dirty carpets, peeling wallpaper, unreliable lifts. The food is poor quality and value. The reception staff are neither friendly nor helpful. The "free" wi-fi is unbearable: frequently crashes out, and when running only at 0.5 Mbps.
Plenty of space - big bed, big bedroom, big bathroom, big balcony.

I didn't like the restaurant we went the first night and ate out after that we were the only ones in the restaurant which made us feel quite awkward then we think it was a bus party they sat down the opposite end of the room which made us feel even more awkward and the staff then had a busy time attending to them so we felt kind of in the way
