I've stayed 3 times at this hotel, the rooms are a good size, clean and the staff are very friendly and willing to help with any of your travel needs. I always request a sea view room as the view is great. Location is good I always go to the lido across the road it is a little far from the main square but walkable. I highly recommend The Plaza Hotel.

Hotel's Favourite
Great hotel for our 3 day trip. Staff were very helpful and gave us some good recommendations for places for dinner. Room was a good size, well presented and we had a sea view with a balcony. Breakfast was very nice. On the first night we enjoyed a drink in the roof top bar and on the second night we dined at the roof top restaurant. The food was very good, the staff were very informative and helpful when navigating the menu which was in Italian and advised what i could have while pregnant.

I had a good 5 night stay at Plaza Hotel. It’s a decent Hotel. The room on the first floor had a huge balcony overlooking the restaurant below with sea views. Air Con was excellent (valuable in August). Room was good size, lots of storage and a very good shower. Serviced every day. Breakfast was ok: good range of cold items and some eggs and bacon. Served in the Rooftop Restaurant with excellent views. Staff were a little aloof but I found that everywhere in Sicily. Reception was very good and efficient, and the staff always friendly. It is on a main road so not very quiet, but if you’re out and about during the day and evenings it wasn’t a problem. It’s about half an hours walk from the railway/bus station, a little more to the City centre. Threes a railway station about 10 mins walk away which is good for heading North although fast trains to Catania and Taormina don’t stop there. Good range of restaurants nearby in the little fishing quay opposite or just up the road, and there is a on site restaurant I didn’t use. An hotel to base yourself from, rather than to enjoy the facilities of the hotel I felt, so suited me very well. Not really the place to find a quiet corner and read a book all day.…

Comfortable beds and nice toiletries in the bathroom are the only nice things to mention about this hotel. Formal and indifferent check in process, small family room that is standard double with two extra beds but no view, old sliding door to bathroom that doesn't work, room generally quite dated, no water, no tea/coffee making facility or glasses, no hotel information in the room... But worst of all was breakfast the next morning...No acknowledgement from two staff girls who were completely indifferent to what's going on, room was very hot, and the breakfast bar itself, where to start... Coffee mashine wasn't working, juice mashine wasn't working, omelette ice cold, trays of sweets empty, single bowl of rotten lettuce and etc. To our complete disbelieve members of management were around as well but no one for one second carried what a mess this buffet was... We really looked forward to this stay and left with huge disappointment. For what they charge (quite expensive) there so much choice and nicer options in Catania.…

we stayed there 6 nights on May 2022 and the only good things there are location, the rooftop bar and the cakes at breakfast. We had a seaview room on the 3rd floor which was a mistake. Seaside means roadnoise the whole night and 3rd floor means you are right under the rooftop bar and you hear all the chair movements upstairs. Morning and evening. We heard othe rpeople complaining about the noise but reception say they cannot do anything about it. We left lacking a lot of sleep. Even earplugs did not help against the noise. Certainly cannot recommend this hotel due to the noise.

We were a group of 34, on a tour of the islands of the Mediterranean. Our first stop was in Catania, at this nice hotel close to the beach and the city centre. We managed to get a first floor room, with a large outside patio with great views of the sidewalk and beach. Very comfortable rooms, although it was a bit of trouble getting the air conditioning working to our satisfaction. Breakfast had a variety of foods, and was quite good. We were out and about most of the day, and did not have dinner any day. Although the roof top restaurant looked great!

Me and my wife along with another couple decided to take a short break during covid. Since Sicily was still orange and practically under semi lock down, the choice of hotel was very important. My friend recommended the Plaza Hotel Catania. The location is perfect. We wanted a hotel close to the Centre, facing the sea, in an area where we can go for a jog in the morning and with good bar and restaurant. The Plaza has all this and more. The location is great, with beautiful sea views. In the morning we went for a jog and did a work out in an out door gym that we found, but the bar and restaurant are what sells this place. Located on the roof of hotel you have a great bar with great selection of wines and a restaurant that serves excellent food. We spent lots of time on the roof eating and drinking, most of the time served by Alfio and Francesco who took really good care of us and made our weekend a memorable one even during the difficult time of covid. This is a hotel that I will definitely come back to!!…

The Plaza Hotel is very clean and a pleasant place to stay. We had two different hotel rooms and the sea view room was far better. Slightly larger plus had a balcony where we could enjoy the breeze and view. The food in the restaurant was fine but breakfast was not as good as I was hoping.
