The lady’s of the hotel were kind and very accommodating! The stay is beautiful. You get vouchers to the local cafe, which is delicious and quaint. Also, it’s right near the garden across the street from the hotel! I also loved the romantic room ❤️ 10/10 stay!

Beautiful place, clean and spacious. Located in a central location, a short walk to the centre of it all and yet, quiet at night. Nicely appointed with both a private balcony and a common area. Easy check in instructions, well communicated by the staff.
Highly recommend.

Ideal Apartment Close to the City
I had a great stay! The apartment was clean, comfortable, and in a perfect location—no need for a car to get to the city. There was also plenty of parking available nearby. Highly recommend!

Great find + Place to stay!
We spent 3 nights in Catania, and enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was secure, small, and in an easy location. The hotel was also very responsive to our questions + let us check in early! A bonus is you also get a free breakfast at a cafe about a block away, and that was easy and delicious.

I asked the front desk to store our luggage while we explored the city and they were happy to help. Friendly and helpful service at check-in. The location is right next to a beautiful and large park in central Catania and we felt safe coming & going. We stayed one night on our way back to the airport and it was easy to get pickup and drop off.

Great properly with lovely rooms. Lots of stairs to get to the hotel but very convenient location. They went out of their way to make our stay feel special. They responded quickly and answered all our questions on what’s app. We really enjoyed our stay!

Lovely clean room in a good location!
Great room in a good location. Check in was easy with details sent via WhatsApp. Lovely and clean with nice views over the park. Bed was comfortable and good to have a fridge in the room and a shared basic kitchen to make a coffee. Breakfast was good at the nearby cafe. You get to choose one sweet or savoury pastry and a drink in exchange for a voucher left in your room.

Was a great property and the staff were exceptional. They went out of their way to accommodate us. Two things to note. There are three flights of stairs to climb and get luggage up. Also, be sure to check your hot water as the heater might be off. Once they turn it on, you will have plenty. We highly recommend and would stay here again.

Convenient for central Catania. Good, clean accommodation and the staff we met were very pleasant. However, there was something of an AI feel about the communication all being by message - but it worked, so no complaints!

Great location in Catania
Fantastic location that’s great to walking to everywhere, right next to Bellini Park. We had a very delayed flight and the staff gave good instructions to check in ourselves. It was really difficult to find parking at night though so do consider that cos it’s a very popular location in Catania.

Incredible property! Enormous room with very comfortable furnishings on par with any five star option. Room includes breakfast, which is made available at a famous restaurant across the street. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, large common areas, including a kitchen and an outdoor terrace. The hotel is centrally located and across the street from the view of Mount Etna.

This is a great property with wonderful staff that really care about their customers. The property is fully renovated, brand new & high-end. We were leaving very early to get to the airport and the staff were so concerned about us not being able to get breakfast that they went out and got us something to pick up the night before (although we didnt figure out where we were supposed to go to get it).

The hotel managers were great at communicating our arrival time and showing us how to access the property after hours so we could go caddy-corner across the street and grab dinner after a long flight. The room was small but absolutely gorgeous and I loved the balcony. We received a breakfast voucher for the same cafe we went to for dinner and everything there was wonderful- save some room for dessert because they have so many beautiful and delicious desserts. There is a giant and beautiful city park literally across the street that we strolled through after dark and felt completely safe. It was a great stay, even just for the one night.

The front desk was staffed for a few hours a day, and outside of those hours were to be contacted via a social media app. For the first few days of our stay, the keycode to open the doors kept expiring, and I was unsure any staff would get a message quickly to let us in. I let them know when we were going out, kept my phone charged, and they were responsive. Also, there was flooding during our stay, and the hotel needed to turn off all power and water for an entire day to fix it. I wish I could give a better review because the staff was friendly and helpful.

This was a lovely hotel and the staff were wonderful.
Bear in mind if you stay, there are no staff working there, so you should organise to meet at a specific time. I didn't do this, but staff arrived about 20 minutes after I rang the door bell.
Also, staff have very limited English language, but with lots of hand gestures and Google Translate, we got there.
The room was lovely, quiet, and safe.
