Our “premium” room Very comfortable & Clean, Excellent staff, Good location. Breakfasts good - special mention of brilliant hi-tec bean to cup coffee machine & super efficient waitress.
Our Only (constructive criticisms)
1. small paper cups in bedrooms - possibly thought to be less likely spread of Covid virus - but china cups if washed in dishwasher = virus killed & would have been much nicer to drink from
2. Awful repetitive, jazzy piano music piped quite loudly to all common areas - not to our taste at all.
And we wonder how many guests share the management’s taste
3. Some of the food poor in our “Group” meals - in particular the meat (tough, dry, sauce over salted), but fish very good

But expect the dining experience would have been better for individuals, rather than a large group - always difficult to cater for.

Overall we would recommend the hotel.

Very very comfortable hotel to kick-off our Sicilian vacation. They upgraded our room for free, which allowed us to do breakfast on the rooftop - with great views of Mt. Etna. Super quiet and comfortable - beautiful bathroom and tub! In the no-car district of Catania - central to everywhere. Would love to return!

We last stayed here 4 years ago for one night before our flight home the following day. We decided to do the same again this year and our stay was once again very good.

Our room was overlooking the courtyard which was absolutely fine. It was spacious with a really nice bathroom and comfortable bed. The key card entry system to get into the room once again foxed us for a few minutes.

We visited the roof top bar for a drink after eating out and were surprised at how quiet it was, I guess the hospitality industry is still suffering to some extent. This really is a fabulous spot and we very much enjoyed our drink.

We payed extra for our breakfast to enjoy the view of Etna, which undoubtable is lovely. The last time we stayed we were offered table service and a great selection of hot food this time it was a self service buffet, there was a good choice and some hot options, however a little pricy. You clearly are paying extra for the view.

All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. When we are next in Sicily we will definitely return.
