We loved everything about this quirky hotel and had a great stay there! Located right next to main Catania station, but in the quiet street. We absolutely loved inner courtyards and gardens of this hotel, spacious and comfortable family room with balcony,nice shower, very clean, lovely breakfast.Special thanks to Francesco and Alex at the reception for warm welcome and being very helpful and nice through our stay.

Very nice hotel, close to everything , delicious generous breakfast. Staff are friendly and welcoming.
Many thanks to Franceso - reception, he made us feel like we had a friend in Catania, he gave us many useful advice regarding our visit.
Room very clean with large bright bathroom. One door lead to a courtyard where you could eat breakfast in the sunshine (or sit indoors) or just relax. Service was great and Francesco Maravigna made us feel very welcome and gave us a very good recommendation about where to dine nearby.
Great location! Very easy to take bus to and from airport. Very close to train station. Can walk to historical center. Hotel is lovely and the courtyard is beautiful. Breakfast was lovely. Francesco is amazing. Our tour was late picking us up and he was happy to call and try and help us. Great customer service. I would return and stay here again. You won't be dissapointed.
The hotel itself is very nice. Clean, well-maintained with impressive old-fashioned decorative style. Breakfast is served 7-10am and is typical continental (with nice choice of cake). There is a rooftop lounging area with 4 sunbeds that really catches the sun. Our rooms was clean with air-con although the safe was broken. The location is ideal for the bus station and rail station. We got the train to Syracuse with only a 5 mins walk from the hotel. Easy to buy return ticket from machine but remember to get it stamped by the green machine on the platform before you get on the train. I believe that e-tickets can be bought online. Better to go to Taormina by bus as train station there is 45 min walk from the town centre. The bus tickets to there and Piazza Armerina are bought from the ticket office on Via Archimede (Etna Line) although you seem to be able to buy from the driver and get online. Villa Romana del Casale is a great place if you like Roman mosaics. Francesco on reception in the mornings is extremely helpful and will give you all the advice you need for travelling and arrange taxis for you. The only downside is that the local area is dirty, piles of rubbish everywhere and all the lower parts of the buildings are covered in graffiti and it's a 20 minute walk through all this to get to the town centre. Catania is not a great holiday destination but the area around Via Etnea is the best for restaurants and shopping.
Across street from the train station. Nice clean room with a large shower. Helpful friendly staff. Helped me arrange a very early trip to the airport so I wasn't able to check out the breakfast. Great price.
