Four Points by Sheraton Catania Hotel and Conference Center

We liked the option for a swim in the ocean with a sun deck behind the hotel

Hotel interior is a bit out-dated

Four Points by Sheraton Catania is a fairly nice hotel. If you want a hotel away from Catania Town then this hotel is perfect for you. There were a few ups and downs to this hotel but overall it was an enjoyable stay. First we stayed in a small room on the 2nd floor but it feels like the ground floor. The balcony was extremely small and the view was to some walls and some green plants. One of the 2 phones did not function, the power outlet was defective, in the bathroom were a lot of water leaks, it was a cup of water heater but you had no coffee or tea bags. I definitely didn't feel like staying in a 4-star Sheraton hotel. After all this was brought to the notice of management, we were pleasantly surprised to receive a new room, at the same floor - a much bigger room and balcony with sea view. I appreciate the measures taken by the staff and the management of the hotel to make it possible to stay in accordance with its standards. The hotel is situated around 20 mins from Catania Town by taxi. It costs around 20-25 euros to reach town and 35 euros to reach the airport. There is a hotel shuttle service at specific times costing 2 euros per person in an 8 person vehicle which is based on a first come basis. There isn’t much around the hotel except for a few restaurants nearby but if you walk north 20-25 minutes up the coast you’ll find castle Castello Normanno in Aci Castello. For supermarket you have to go to Catania town or in Aci Castello.

* The paintings must be clearly changed, but this is a personal opinion. * Near the hotel, a drugstore pharmacy would be of great help to Sheraton guests. * There is a tunnel that runs from the hotel under the road to a deck by the water. Bathing in the sea is a real adventure between currents, stones and waves. * The pool is not so big as posted and the lounge area is not so clean as I would have liked. Closes early, at 19.30 at night. It compensates with the sea view. * Balcony metal chairs, uncomfortable.

I liked the comfort of the room.

Location is not nice. But we only stayed for one evening before catching a flight. Therefore good hotel for a one night stay but not for vacation purposes.
