Catania hotellia

Plussat: Nicely located hotel with a sea view. Nice rooms.

Miinukset: The breakfast room is somehow odd, but also with a nice sea view. The access to the sea is very limited and you need to drive to get to a sand beach.

Plussat: Top bed and breakfast

Miinukset: The parking is too expensive. The little jacuzzi was inoperative

Miinukset: Breakfast. Fairly basic. Scrambled egg provided, fried eggs are an additional €5.

Plussat: Staff really nice, hotel near to the beach, spa no so expensive

Plussat: Henkilökunta hyvä ja avulias. Rauhallinen hotelli.

Miinukset: Hotelli kulahtanut ja pitäisi jo remontoida. Kivirannalle sisäinen väylä hankala.

Plussat: The bed was good minibar I like it

Miinukset: Toothpaste were not found no slippers and just coffee without milk

Plussat: Aamiainen on runsas ja monipuolinen, illallispaikat kätevästi saatavilla tien toisella puolella. Ympäristö rauhallinen ja henkilökunta ystävällistä, tosin kaikki eivät puhu englantia.

Miinukset: Sijainti hieman syrjässä, mutta auton kanssa pärjää hyvin. Hieman nuhjaantunut kasari-hotelli, vaikkakin ihan siisti. Allas toimiva, ranta ei ollut käytössä syysmyrskyjen vuoksi.

Plussat: Clean, nice customer service, quiet location but a bit far away from any local shops and activities. Shuttle bus to Catania centre only for €2 per person for round trip :)

Miinukset: That was shame that this hotel doesn't have any interior pool as external swimming pool is open from April

Plussat: Room comfort was good even if the bathroom was "old fashion".

Miinukset: Breakast is indeed poor for the price and the fame of this hotel network.

Miinukset: It's not a 4 stars hotel, I will say it is more a 3*

Plussat: The hotel met our criteria in terms of location, fascilities and cleanliness of the rooms. Our group really enjoyed our stay except the arised conflict during the check-out procedure.

Miinukset: The staff of the hotel was trying to cheat us at the check-out time convincing us the the confirmed reservation didn't cost a thing. Outrageous!

Plussat: Staff was generally very keen on satisfaying requests. A very nice pool area and breakfast was excellent. Room is provided with a little terrace which gives privacy.

Miinukset: My room was overlooking the garden and on the pool side area with in addition over the restaurant. As such, it was extremely noisy and even during the night (once at 1 am and another at 5 am) I was awaken by loud noises of staff cleaning either the restaurant or the pool side area. The hotel is quite in a remote area (far from city center and not as easily accessible by bus than what is advertised). As for the beach, there are none. Access to the sea is through stairs going down in the sea, these stairs being built on rocks (which are also everywhere and it is not really enjoyable for swimming - especially not for kids).

Plussat: Semmi!!!!!!az hogy hazajohettunk!!!!NOTHING We were glad that come back home.The worst hotel which y ever stayed.Breakfast poor,small balkony not big enough for one,the room design year 70....and in the room internet is not avible, and, many many many things but is not enough time and place for this.DONT Goo too sheraton catania!!!!! Its a big shame for sheraton

Miinukset: Semmi!!!!!!az hogy hazajohettunk!!!!NOTHING We were glad that come back home.The worst hotel which y ever stayed.Breakfast poor,small balkony not big enough for one,the room design year 70....and in the room internet is not avible, and, many many many things but is not enough time and place for this.DONT Goo too sheraton catania!!!!! Its a big shame for sheraton

Plussat: Sheraton Catania is the delightful hotel for family who has some children. We enjoyed playing the table tennis and swiming at the pool. We want to stay again!!

Miinukset: We used the shuttle bus to go to the center of the Catania, but it was inconvenience about the arrival location and the time schedule. The hotel taxi which was called for going to airport early in the morning was very expensive!!

Plussat: Excellent hotel and service, great pool, quiet and comfortable

Miinukset: Outdoor music speakers at restaurant came on at 7am every morning, location wasn't really walking distance to many facilities/restaurants, some confusion on checking out as wasn't sure if I'd pre-paid the room as I gave my cc details on booking so assumed I'd paid already.

Plussat: Flexible staff allowing for earlier check in and slightly later check out to fit my flights

Miinukset: Not really.

Plussat: What a fantastic hotel,highly recommended,a real find. Pictures on web-site do not do it justice.Brilliant breakfast.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Pool and beach facilities were excellent. Staff were friendly & helpful

Miinukset: Cleanliness of the hotel was very poor, dirty windows & badly vacummed bedrooms

Plussat: The view from the balcony. The restaurant staff was lovely. Plus a very clean room.

Miinukset: The walk to the airport on the roads

Plussat: Ei ollut aamupalaa 6:30 kun piti lähteä lentokentälle

Miinukset: sähköt olisi voinut pysyä päällä oleskelun ajan. Vikavirtakytkin katkaisi sähköt , mutta puolen tunnin sisällä asia korjattiin vaihtamalla yksi magneettiventtiili. Lentokenttähotellissa kuuluu saada aamupala ennen lähtöä, esim Helsingissä saa klo 3 alkaen.

Plussat: Very generously dimensioned rooms. Free shuttle service to airport - only 5 minutes drive.

Miinukset: The pool is nice but location not so great. Restaurants in the area are uneventful. So it’s clearly a great airport hotel, not a resort.

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja hotelli siisti. Lentokenttä lähellä ja kuljetus kentälle

Miinukset: Ei aamupalaa kuin vasta seitsemältä. Sijainti kaukana palveluista ja päivällä ei juuri mitään ruokaa saatavilla kun ravintolan siesta kesti 19 asti. Pyytäessämme taksin jotta menemme keskustaan syömään niin odotus kesti puoli tuntia ja respan tilaamassa taksissa ei ollut taksikylttiä eikä mittaria.

Plussat: Lähellä lentokenttää.

Miinukset: Jalankulku lentokentälle lähes mahdoton , vaikka se on lähellä. Aamiainen aikaisin lähtijöille surkea.

Plussat: Siistiä, rauhallista ja lähellä lentokenttää.

Miinukset: Hinta/laatusuhde ei mielestäni vastannut odotuksia. Kallis paikka!

Plussat: We booked a room at very short notice. It was large, quiet and nicely furnished. Staff at reception and room service staff were friendly and helpful. Only a 10 min. walk to the Airport which proved very useful when we learned that a "Rescue" flight would arrive very soon to take us home to England. We had a free lift in the hotel shuttle bus. Thank you staff and apologies for leaving our room in a bit of a mess!

Plussat: Nice place to go if you are flying out of Catania! Big rooms, ours had a view of the mt. etna.

Plussat: Henkilökunta on mukavaa ja hotelli on siisti

Miinukset: Lentokenttäkuljetus tökki pahasti. Odotin yli tunnin, soitin kolme eri kertaa, ennen kuin kuljetus tuli. Ensimmäisellä kerralla sanoivat että tulee n.20minuutin päästä, soitin 40minuutin päästä uudelleen ja kyyti luvattiin hetimiten. Tunnin kuluttua soitin kolmannen kerran, jonka jälkeen kyyti vihdoin saapui n.10min päästä. Kyytiä joutuu soittamaan aina vähintään toisen kerran. Tämä oli pahin kerta.

Plussat: it Was clean big room ,only staff friendly was housekeeping.

Miinukset: The hotel is trying to be something it is not certinallynot 4 star,if I was a business traveller as well disappointing. No ironing facilities,no ice facilities when you asked at bar a real drama. Breakfast ok not 4 star,then when you parked free outside never a space and then a charge for guests poor. I would say as a regular travel in all types of hotel this was not even up to a holiday inn express which are far better value. This is trying to be a boutique hotel ,but really needs to up its game poor customer service,the only thing in my view is location to the airport.overall very disappointing.

Plussat: Spacious, clean and modern room with a great bed!

Miinukset: Restaurant experience was poor. Food was cold and fit for a vegetarian. Breakfast was spartan.

Plussat: The breakfast was very good. The room was clean. They were changing towels every day. For us to be at this hotel, was perfect. With a rental car it was easy to come to the highway for all destinations. We parked the car outside the hotel free of charge. It was a bit of experience to drive in the sentrum of Catania with all the traffic. But not expensive to come to the sentrum by bus.

Miinukset: No any negative comments.

Plussat: Siisti ja rauhallinen hotelli lähellä Catanian kansainvälistä lentokenttää. Ystävällinen palvelu ja valoisat tosin pienet huoneet. Aulatila ja uima-allasalue mukava.

Miinukset: Varasimme tämän hotellin koska esittelyssä luki että käytössämme uima-allas sekä yksityinen ranta sekä kuljetus lentoasemalle. Uima-allas ja ranta olikin suljettu kuumana syyskuun päivänä. Kävin kuitenkin rannalla ja koko ranta täynnä roskia, mahdotonta istua hiekalle. Lentokenttäkuljetus olikin paikallinen taksi joka laskutti 3km:n matkasta 25€.

Plussat: Great hardware look Lo

Miinukset: Staff is a little retarded

Plussat: Overall nice hotel and helpful staff

Miinukset: Location

Plussat: Outstanding breakfast and food.

Miinukset: Unable to control the temperature of my room. What's the point of having A/C controls in the room if they do not work and are controlled by reception? Totally unacceptable for a supposed 4 star hotel. I must have called reception about 5-7 times because my room was too warm. I kept getting told that the temperature for my room specifically was lowered which is untrue. I chose this hotel because of its proximity to the airport, I was hoping for a good night's sleep and didn't get it. Extremely annoyed.

Plussat: Location was awesome

Plussat: Swimming pool and beach were wonderful.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Calm and good location by the sea side

Miinukset: I have no complaints

Plussat: Internal decor was refreshing, staff were in the main helpful and the room quiet for a stop over.It was the nearest to the airport but still 10 mins drive.

Miinukset: We could not be offered computer facilities to confirm our onward flight and there was no complimentary transit bus available from airport to hotel

Plussat: The staff were very hlepful and accomodating. I was looking for an airport hotel with a shuttle for an early morning flight and it was perfect.

Miinukset: My room was fine but the carpets throughout the hotel are in bad shape. It gives the impression of slight seediness.

Plussat: Staff were very accommodating and took care of the few problems that did occur. Easy drive from the hotel to work and to the downtown. Quiet and not alot of traffic in the area.

Miinukset: Wireless access cost.

Plussat: beach, pool, breakfast

Miinukset: no adaptor for the plug, promise the charge for the phone, then turn out don't have a common one, staff English was poor and not helpful for this.

Miinukset: Kein Shuttleservice von und zum Flughafen am Samstag ab 13 Uhr und auch nicht am Sonntag. Man muss ein völlig überteuertes Taxi buchen. No shuttle to airport after Saturday 13.00 and also none on Sunday. These times would be the most important times to offer the shuttle to turists. You have to take a taxi wich is extremely expensive and at the end halve the price of the room. For this reason we never come back to this hotel.

Plussat: rauhallinen ja siisti hotelli , kielitaitoinen henkilökunta

Miinukset: uima-altaan aukioloajat saisi olla pidemmät

Plussat: The swimming pool, the breakfast and the fact there was outside seating at the restaurant

Miinukset: We thought the food sereved in the restaurant was not up to the standard of the rest of the hotel. On most oaccasions the food was barely warm and not hot, service although polite and frielndly was incredibly slow and the menu was monotonous particularly on the last two nights when there were not even any dishes of the day to choose from

Plussat: good facilities, beach , pool, location to airport

Miinukset:

Plussat: swimming pool

Miinukset: no early breakfast for at least a cup of coffee for early leaving

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff

Miinukset: The beach area across the road was not so great

Plussat: We had a fabulous time at the Parco degli Aragonesi. All of the staff were very helpful and curteous and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone who wants the ease of being yards from the beach, great pool and a good restaurant. It was so easy to travel into Catania and the holiday was great. We are thinking of booking again as we had such a good time.

Miinukset:

Plussat: All was great. More English tv would be great.

Miinukset: Could not get air conditioning on. Room was a bit too warm.

Plussat: Service the best , location very nice. Staff very friendly

Plussat: All was perfect. Great location, breakfast, staffs . Thank you for all, sure I’m gonna back

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Quiet too.

Miinukset: Bathroom was a bit unclean. Only cold food for breakfast

Plussat: Check in staff were friendly and chatty and very good at giving information about the local area.

Miinukset: The area is not what I had imagined, but its not the hotel's fault!

Plussat: location, interior and breakfast

Miinukset: Wifi didn't work at that time.

Plussat: Hotel staff

Miinukset: noice from the street

Plussat: everything was ok,

Miinukset: early check out and late check in

Miinukset: the only that no wifi was on place they told that no cards and we have to go to vodafone to buy moble connection sorry in a hotel normaly is free in malta you find free wifi even in a restaurant am not saying in hotel room but in reseption thank this was not the first time that we was in hotel

Plussat: Everything in the hotel are very new.The staff is very helpful and kindly.

Plussat: The hotel was very pleasant inside, rooms well appointed. Outside not special but then no buildings are in catania!

Miinukset: Didnt eat at the restaurant as was expensive and choice quite limited. Breakfast adequate

Plussat: Room, breakfast, hotel interior, location are good.

Miinukset: Hotel bar didn't work at midnight. Hotel staff failed to provide adapter for electricity plugs, so I had no ability to charge my laptop.

Plussat: Everything was perfect. The best staff!. Very nice rooms, comfortable, parking, near city centre, near bus. It is a very good choice in order to have a pleasant time

Miinukset:

Plussat: Very friendly staff, nice rooms, close to the center (5 minutes walk).

Miinukset:

Plussat: Man on reception was exceedingly helpful in sorting out my problematic onward booking.

Miinukset: No balcony, even though this was promised in my booking confirmation.

Plussat: Clean comfortable and staff friendly

Plussat: Really cheap, staff is excellent and helpful. Cheap self-service laundry (1.5 EUR for washing, 1.5 again for drying).

Miinukset: Location a bit sketchy. Rooms are college dorm rooms, with old furniture and lots of use. Breakfast not great, but to be expected for the price.

Plussat: Very spacious room with separate room for the kids.comfortable beds also. Good location, close to city center. Friendly staff also.

Miinukset: Very Pour breakfast.they tried to avoid refilling what was finished.also, we had to ask for fresh fruits and boiled eggs.the excuse was that the had run out of many things and the next replenishment would be 3days later!!! also the gym needs renovation because many things were out of order.

Plussat: Super clean, super friendly, good location, good breakfast.

Plussat: The staff are very helpful

Plussat: Tasty breakfast, nice personal, comfortable rooms

Plussat: Breakfast especially orange juice and free baverages in minibar.

Plussat: - close to the train station - central position - clean

Miinukset: -the wall of the room was terrible - the receptionist was not kind

Plussat: Location Cooperation of the staff Breakfast

Miinukset: Everything was ok

Plussat: By far the best breakfast we had in Sicily. Fresh fruit, freshly baked cakes and pastries, proper coffee. The staff were particularly helpful, from helping us drive into the minuscule gateway to the underground car park, and how to get out of Catania when we left (not straight forward).

Miinukset: Light came under the door of the bedroom which I was able to keep out by using a rolled up towel. Perhaps the lights could be dimmed at night.

Plussat: Breakfast was very good. Hotel premises and facilities are outstanding.

Miinukset: Only not so positive aspect was distance of hotel to places of interest, and difficult parking.

Plussat: We liked the handyman, he was always smiling and nice to us.

Plussat: - Location, close to everything (stay on the main streets during the night, not sure if unsafe but in some streets there were a lot of homeless people and beggars). - Parking, just drop you key at the reception and they will park your car in the hotel’s garage (€10 per night). - Friendly staff - Mini bar is free of charge (soft drinks+water) - Hotel building has a nice ambiance - Spacious room

Miinukset: - The room looked clean, but with a closer look the minibar was dirty inside. And on the last day we found a cockroach in the bathroom.... - I would rate it as a 2 or 3 star hotel rather than a 4 star hotel....everything is just a bit outdated and there aren’t any facilities you would normally expect in a 4 star hotel. But overall we had a wonderful time in Catania!

Plussat: Breakfast was very good. The staff were very obliging and kind to us when we arrived very late due to a delayed flight. They directed us to park our hire car and took good care of watching it.

Miinukset: Nothing to complain about

Plussat: Stayed here second time. Not so thrilled the second time, but when in Catania and want a decent hotel, I think if you like to walk to the center, this seems like a good choice. Decent size room, quite clean, good breakfast.

Miinukset: The room I've got the second time was not so good, it was facing the street thus noisy and there was a disturbing smell coming from the AC vents, which at night was pretty hard to endure. Also, we've got only one set of towels even if we were 2 in the room, This is not acceptable from my point of view for a 4 star hotel.Even more, the days that followed the situation continued, still a single towel for 2 persons.

Plussat: The service of the staff

Miinukset: A bit away from the centre of the town

Plussat: 1) the central placement of the hotel 2) in low season they can park your car themselves in the garage

Miinukset: 1) the city itself is awful: very dirty, all walls and historic buildings are in graffity even fountain and main street, a lot of poor and dirty people on streets outside the 1 main walking road (so in the evening it's scary to walk). We ran away from this city on 3d day, although planed to stay for 5. The main reason to come here is Etna - that is fantastic. 2) the hotel itself is business-style one with old furniture with respective "old smell" in rooms. Think that it should be cheaper

Plussat: The breakfast and the dining area were lovely and the staff excellent. We are very comfortable in recommending it to others

Miinukset:

Plussat: Location is excellent - Staff very cordial and efficient - Comfort rooms - very good breakfast

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Food in the restaurant was very good. Staff very helpful, courteous and friendly

Miinukset: Our meal on thursday 21st was exactly the same as that on the wednesday although very good 20th. Howevber a word with reception ensured we had different menu friday and saturday which were bo9th excellent. some thought need sto be put into serviuce for guest who stay more than 1 night

Plussat: Friendly staff (although the barman was sometimes difficult to find)

Miinukset: Some loud, brash Americans who were obviously on their tour of Europe, and thought they owned it.

Plussat: Well appointed and tastefully furnished. Friendly staff on the whole. Excellent food and breakfast - beware of the gourmet dinner, it has 8 courses!

Miinukset: Not a great location, being tucked away in side streets a fair walk from the city centre. Driving is impossible - allow 1 hour to get to the airport at busy times.

Plussat: Good quality, clean and friendly staff.

Miinukset: A bit pricy. Location not great (Catania is not great as well) but close to the center.

Plussat: Free internet in the room and free drinks in frig, very nice deco overall.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Staff were very friendly and the food was very good

Miinukset:

Plussat: position for exploring

Miinukset:

Plussat: Beds super comfy and amaeing huge shower. Nuxe toiletries. True that this hotel is not central but there is a lovely seaside promenade and great views.

Miinukset: Nothing - was a shame the roof terrace was shut! Very steep to get to the carpark.

Plussat: Stayed in this hotel several times and the overall good standard is pretty consistent. It has a good lock-up garage and a very good breakfast and there is a very good restaurant just next to the hotel.

Miinukset: This time round the shower was not working well and kept changing from very hot to very cold and this made showering quite annoying. Breakfast is still being served in the basement; refurbishment of the breakfast room on the roof is taking too long (same situation prevailed when we were there on New Year's Day)

Plussat: Location view of sea

Miinukset: Building work being done so no roof top terrace access which is why I booked it!! We should have been told this prior to our visit. First day no hot or cold water. Not told in advance. Loud banging or hammering right next to us in the morning ☹️

Plussat: Sijainti oli hyvä.

Miinukset: Huoneeseen kuuluivat kaikki äänet. Äänieristystä ei ollut!

Plussat: The staff are very kind and helpful, the hotel is in an excellent position, and probably the cleanest one I’ve ever seen. Bed and pillows are comfortable too, I can only recommend.

Plussat: The bed was firm, but surprisingly comfortable. About the eggs that everyone talks about - if you have breakfast around 7, the eggs will be runny. Around 8, it's slightly runny and around 9, the eggs are no longer runny. Other than that, we loved the fresh orange juice, the water pressure in the shower was great and our room was spacious.

Miinukset: During our stay, the hotel was undergoing renovations and it was noisy. There were times electricity was shut off (although they called us to let us know). The walls are also very thin, so you can hear everything. I'm sure the hotel operates better in the summer time.

Plussat: The receptionist lady was of great help as she was the only one that speaks english

Miinukset: lack of english speaking and a hotel like this deserves a pool

Plussat: Outstanding

Miinukset: Naked waitresses

Plussat: Location, room space

Miinukset: Some small renovation works should be carried on in the rooms to bring the hotel to the next level (I.e. painting)

Plussat: location

Miinukset: the hotel is almost run down. It desperately needs to be renovated

Plussat: Hyvä vuode, lähellä keskustaa ja maittava aamiainen

Plussat: The hotel is in a good location and our room was big, if a bit dated, with a fabulous view of Mount Etna. The levels of cleanliness were high, all the staff were friendly, the breakfasts offered a plentiful choice and the bar area was comfortable and welcoming. We were presented with tasty little canapés with our drinks and the two dinners we ate there were cooked perfectly.

Miinukset: The hotel is in need of some refurbishment. The dinner menu offered the same choices each evening.

Plussat: Staff at reception, bar, dining room extremely friendly n helpful. In my last night,standing outside the hotel I was bothered by a drunk,and the receptionist immediately came to help.very appreciated

Miinukset: Delays in cleaning the room

Plussat: Nice big room with all amenities.

Miinukset: Didnt have view of mount Etna as promised and didnt have tea/coffee making facilities.

Plussat: The breakfast

Miinukset: These are all things i didn't like about the hotel: Impatient front desk staff but that may be because they were short of staff and the long queues. for a hotel claiming to be 5 star looked a bit tired. Bedroom wall lights nearly coming off the wall. Some desk lamps not working. Wall paper peeling away from the bathroom wall. The room phone did not work. Only one computer with small screen to access internet - for a fee and this took 10 -15 minutes to connect.

Plussat: spacy rooms

Miinukset: no hot water in the morning

Plussat: excelent room & breakfast.

Miinukset: not much information readily available on tours etc, had to ask at reception.

Plussat: i like the design of the hotel. its my type 100 %. the rooms are very nicee...beautiful andd clean and i found a lot of people smiling and help you alot. the breakfast was very good excelent service and everything clear in the kitchen there is nothign i can say negative and sure im coming again next time

Miinukset: 1 thing i don't like.. aspecially in the night i found... i got there about 3 am in the morning and i found a man and asked me if i was a resident there and he didnt belived me and had to check in the computer ..

Plussat: We asked for another room on our second day (as it had a rather unpleasant smell) and were given a much better room.

Miinukset: All 4 of us found the pillows very hard and uncomfortable. One of our party asked for a softer pillow but the replacement was no better.

Plussat: Henkilökunta valtavan ystävällinen ja auttamishaluinen, amerikkalainen aamiainen erinomainen, hotelli todella siisti

Miinukset: Ei

Plussat: big room, nice bath

Miinukset: bad smell in the room, despite parfume diffusor

Plussat:

Miinukset: the telephone system was out of order

Plussat: Location was convenient. Good parking, which is a rarity in Italy sometimes. Safe to walk to other areas of the city.

Miinukset: I thought the carpet was very shabby, stained, and worn out. It made a beautiful hotel loose some appeal.

Plussat: Nothing in particular; advertised as five star hotel but in reality does not offer what is expected in "five star" hotels.

Miinukset: On arrival there was no body to help with our lugage. We had to drag it from the taxi to the loby. Air conditioning of the "suite" was not working; staff at the fornt desk refused to move us ot a diferent suite or room; It toke three days to get the air conditioning working after complaining repeatedly. Hotel's personel very un-professionaly and not corteous at all in general; there were very few exempitions; never had this experience in Five Star Hotels.

Plussat: The room was perfect amount of space. Breakfast room service was fast! The bathtub was amazing!

Miinukset: I was on the ground floor so my "balcony" wasn't impressive. The breakfast was just okay.

Plussat: Staff at reception, room with balcony, beach facilities, breakfast,

Miinukset: Could really do with children's pool, lots of kids splashing and screaming in pool takes away fifth star

Plussat: The room was beautiful and so comfortable! I just wish I knew how to work the A/C, because it was a little warm. staff was great, everything was so clean.

Miinukset: just that I wish I known how to make the room cooler, like how to work the A/C

Plussat: The place was clean and the staff very friendly.

Miinukset: The lighting was too bright in the restaurant and the pillows on the beds needed refreshing with new ones

Plussat: It was a confusing situation. While stuck on Sicily and experiencing first hand the tragic outbreak of Covid-19, the staff of the hotel was very kind. It was my 4th stay already there and it’s a really nice place. Comfortable, clean and feeling as home! #andratuttobene #stay safe

Miinukset: Nothing, all fine.

Plussat: near airport

Miinukset: Rooms had a strange mildew smell

Plussat: Convenient for the airport

Miinukset: Room functional but felt a bit antiquated

Plussat: The location close to the airport and the nice room

Plussat: * REstruant made some good food (pasta at least). * Close to airport if yo on you way home (But is is not reaally possible to work to airport even it is only 2 km away).

Miinukset: * Rooms to small! * Resturant service limited (only from 20 o clock in the evning, hence ,ot good for famillies with small childeren). Limited selection for room service! PRICY prices!

Plussat: Spacious room, clean and nice bathroom. Nice staff (Alfredo) ! Modern and nice pool, great breakfast, lots of choice.

Miinukset: The hotel is about 5 min. from the city centre. There is a hotel shuttle, but the shuttle doesn't drive frequently. Drinks and food are pretty expensive in the hotel, glas of soda eur 4,-.

Plussat: Double room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Buffet breakfast was excellent with plenty of variety including hot food and fresh fruit.The hotel staff were very helpful. The hotel has a superb swimming pool and offers access passes to the adjoining beach. It also operates a complimentary airport and city centre shuttle. Free WIFI is available in all the rooms. The hotel restaurant meals were excellent and reasonably priced. Parking provided on the site.

Miinukset: Have no complaints about this hotel.

Plussat: Near to the airport, nice green garden oasis in the town.

Miinukset: This hotel is too far from 5 stars.

Plussat: Rooms were very clean and good size

Miinukset: Lower your food and beverage prices. We stayed at this hotel due to the location of the closeness to the airport. Also taxi that was hired from your hotel was an outrageous price for a five minute drive to the airport. Hotel should provide a shuttle to the airport as it is so close.

Plussat: cleanliness and the pool

Miinukset:

Plussat: The pool was in excellent settings and very ease to enter if one is elderly. The food and service also excellent when we dined in the evening and the atmosphere was lovely. The hotel itself is a little shabby and too drab for a mediterranean seaside resort, it could do with a nice light uplift. Apart from that we enjoyed our two day stay.

Miinukset: A little more care on the cleanliness in general

Plussat: Pool.

Miinukset: Still no fitness center. I stayed for a week and breakfast was the same every morning. Overpriced menu.

Plussat: The hotel is in general nice, namely the garden and the swiming pool. It's located near the beach, although it's on the other side of the road (no direct connection);

Miinukset: The hotel is in front of a noisy road; the employees are nice in general but need a little bit more of organisation; we found the bedroom small for one couple and one child

Plussat: BREAKFAST EXCELLENT AND LOCATION ALSO EXCELLENT

Miinukset: THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I DID NOT LIKE

Plussat: - Superb Breakfast - Exceptionally Clean Rooms - Perfect location - Helpful Staff

Miinukset: - A bit on the expensive side but all worth it

Plussat: Perfect location at the heart of Catania. Next to best coffees, restaurants, shopping areas with a good restaurant at the roof.

Miinukset: The bed was so hard, it's like sleeping on a stone. The room was hot (not well air-conditioned). TV was not mounted on the wall, it was located on the console and occupied a lot of space. The bathroom hygienne could have been better.

Plussat: Great location. Very beautiful breakfast, both in 1F buffet and 7F roof.

Plussat: The UNA hotel is very very well located. Catania is one of those cities where you can easily end up on the wrong side of the town. Before booking I have done my research about the recommended neighborhoods for travelers. I am glad I was not disappointed with my choice. The facility is super clean, modern yet authentic, the staff is very friendly and helpful, the views from the terrace are breathtaking... This hotel is the real deal!

Plussat: The breakfast was very nice. The view from the roof top terrace is excellent. The location is excellent.

Miinukset: Regulating the room temperature was an issue.

Plussat: Beautiful building but decor is tired looking

Miinukset: Property will look absolutely amazing if painted and decorated

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff.

Plussat: The location is excellent and the staff were so helpful and obliging. The cleanliness both of the room and the common areas was extremely good - better than in a number of 5 star hotels around Europe i stayed in.

Plussat: I liked most the comfort of the room especialy the use of the air conditon,and the tideness of the beds.and next time i will be visiting Catania again I will book overethere.

Plussat: The location of the hotel was good, it is on the main street and near restaurants. The bus to the Airport is just outside the door and cost only 1euro, so dont bother with a taxi.

Miinukset: The staff could have been more helpful. we went upstairs to the roof bar on our first night and were charged €8 each for a drink, there was a buffet set out, but none of the staff bothered to tell us that if we paid one euro extra we could have had the buffet included. The reception staff didnt seem to know much about the Mt Etna tours, they werent able to book one for us, yet when we rang the tour operator from our room, we were able to get it straight away. The lobby of the hotel was always very quiet, very few people around, a strange feeling.

Plussat: We were in honeymoon and receptionist upgrade us to a suit.Staff is very helpfull and friendliness. Location is center and walk distance to many places.

Miinukset: Smell of the room, Ac is not working proparly. Internet is expensive.

Plussat: Staff was very friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast, featuring both hot and cold items, breads, cornetti, cakes, champagne, and juices was not only delicious but the best that we have had in Italy. The room was clean, modern with comfortable beds. The location was ideal - right on the main shopping street of Catania and only 5-10 minute walk to the Duomo. The hotel is also very near the main open market selling fresh vegetables, fruit, bread, meat, and clothes.

Miinukset: We stayed at the hotel in February. The temperature of the room was preset to 26 degrees Celsius. It was a little bit on the warm side. Although we tried to change the thermostat, it always reverted back to 26 degrees. This is only a minor complaint however as everything else about the hotel is perfect.

Plussat: The staff were very helpfull

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff is excellent. Price is very good. I will come back again.

Miinukset:

Plussat: location in center of catania

Miinukset:

Plussat:

Miinukset: the bed as to hard

Plussat: The view from our balcony was fantastic, breakfast was superb, dinner service was beyond our expectations for friendly and courteous service. The maître d' at dinner was understanding and thoughtful. I couldn't have asked for better service.

Miinukset: I don't think anything could have been better. There was nothing negative in either the room or the service and the location was perfectly situated for our needs.

Plussat: Very good hotel parking and staff is very helpful

Miinukset: Breakfast was very basic, and the coffee in the breakfast was made with a self service machine, and it was not so good.

Plussat: The hygiene and standard of cleanliness.

Miinukset: No kettle in the room and basic plastic table on the balcony.Nothing special.

Plussat: Staff very professional and ready for any request. Great views, very good breakfast, free private parking, no car noises, comfortable bed. Center very close by, would repeat!

Miinukset: The air conditioning was very noisy, i couldnt keep it turned on for the night because of the noise. Not many connections with public transport, but by car is ideal.

Plussat: Henkilökunta sekä aamupala.

Miinukset: Huone huono, varmasti huonoin merinäköala mikä löytyi. Sänky ja patja huonot. Parveke oli mutta kalusteet puuttui.

Plussat: Sea view was excellent. The bed was great. Room service and breakfast were really good. Staff were great. Free parking was a great bonus, as was the location north of Catania centre which made it easier to get to Etna and Taormina. The whole place was friendly, respectful and practical. There were also some good eating options around in Ognina.

Miinukset: We have reached that time in life where a kettle and tea/coffee in the room is a ‘must’. Nettuno did not provide this, preferring room service. Lunar park next door to the hotel gets cleaned up on Monday mornings which was unavoidably noisy. The pool and private beech wasn’t open til later in the year.

Plussat: Uima allas ja meri paikka missä aurinkotuolit omassa rauhassa pääsi mereen uimaan. Se oli hieno! Parvekkeelta oli myös hienot näkymät merelle ja altaalle.

Miinukset: Sijainti oli kaukana kaikesta paitsi Pizzeria MeGusta oli vieressä missä todella hyvä pizza!

Plussat: The view was nice from the terrace. Nice bar and yard.

Miinukset: The breakfast has ended earlier than it was told. There were only plastic cups at the juice and water. There were no chairs on the terrace, it would have been more comfortable.

Plussat: Good breakfast, restaurant on site, near the waterfront.

Miinukset: Distance from city centre.

Plussat: How the hotel staff were so helpful, food was excellent,

Miinukset: They could do with displaying more information about excursions.

Plussat: the veiw from our room over the pool was excellent,the hotel was very clean and very well maintained

Miinukset: they were not aware we had already paid and charged us again at checkout and insisted we hadent paid already,after 20 minutes they produced the paperwork confirming we had paid however no apology

Plussat: Parking our car in the hotel parking was easy. Sea view was wonderful. Breakfast is fine. Everyone speaks english and is helpful.

Miinukset: Perimeter and fence doors should be opened by the reception crew because pavements are very narrow and walking in the street is extremely dangerous. Parking area should be supervised by someone from the staff because our car was damaged while parked.

Plussat: The hotel is very close to the city, across the road from the sea, breakfast and the cleaniness of the rooms were good.Reception staff spoke good english and were very helpful

Miinukset: This hotel is not in a tourist area and is more suitable for a city break or a base to tour from.

Plussat: Amazingly helpful hotel staff, and beautiful swimming pool, even though we didn't use it

Miinukset: Lack of air conditioning. It was hot at night, so we had to open the windows, and annoying insects flew in. We each received multiple insect bites over the 2 nights.

Plussat: Most staff spoke very good English and were very helpful

Miinukset: I would have liked to be able to book tours through the hotel like in other countries, e.g. NZ, Australia

Plussat: Sea views, ambience, al fresco eating, balcony

Miinukset:

Plussat: Location is good. Just outside the centre of busy Catania. But with enough restaurants nearby. It's a good place to explore the east coast. The deck at the sea is perfect because there's no real beach nearby. There's a sandbeach south of Catania but that's full of lidos. Room had balcony and seaview and restaurant is good, even the breakfast. Service is nice and helpful. But not everybody speaks English. Be aware that a lot of the roads are not highways and that it will take some time to get there.

Miinukset:

Plussat: fantastic pool and private sea swimming area! and the offstreet secure parking is an added bonus.

Miinukset: dining area bit dull and could be livened up slightly. also for lunch we were not allowed to sit outside?

Plussat: Spacious room, nice interior.

Miinukset: I do not think that staff was helpful to us. The hotel is outside city, you can get to city by bus but there was no information that the bus comes every hour if it arrives. There is no place around hotel to buy bus ticket and the driver do not sell tickets on the bus. I hardly got any information from the reception. I will never be back to this hotel.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent with wide variety of food from sweet to savory, and espresso drinks available. Only minus was that the scrambled eggs were too salty.

Plussat: I booked this Hotel Villa del Bosco - Catania and then was not able to travel . However, my companions who were able to continue on the trip; this is their review: " We enjoyed our time at this hotel. Being out of the city centre made it nice and quiet. Shops are close by , however no really suitable places to have dinner. The hotel's restaurant is very good. Taxis are readily available (15-20) Euros into the city. Receptionist was very helpful and provided information on tours etc. The breakfast has a wide variety of choices. This hotel has great views out to the bay.

Plussat: Breakfast was great. The food and the view.

Plussat: The breakfast buffet is standard, not surprising or disappointing. Location is outside the center, but the arrival to the center is not a big problem. The hotel has an atmosphere.

Miinukset: The street in front of the hotel is quite noisy, sleeping with an open window makes it difficult.

Plussat: Guseppi was fabulous! Gave the place a warm and welcoming feel. Always had a smile and went out of his way to be helpful. Local shops were delightful

Miinukset: Airconditioner was very loud and housekeeping did not refresh paper products.

Plussat: Quiet location, far from city center, convenient if you have a car. Professional staff, we could choose a room on the modern part of the hotel. Beautiful social area in a classic style. Very good breakfast.

Miinukset: Paid car parking.

Plussat: Friendlyness of the staff, excellent view from the breakfast room, nice bar

Plussat: When I booked the hotel it says: last room, book now. When I got there, there was nobody except 2 swedish persons.The hotel is nice, but if there are no guests, it's no fun. Design hotel, maar ook klassiek antiek gedeelte, erg mooi.

Miinukset: internet to expansive, the price is 0.75 ct per hour but you have to pay for 24 hours. small swimmingpool. beachshuttle is ok, nice beach. nothing to do in the neighborhood but busstop to centre is outside the hotel.

Plussat: quiet at night, pleasant to be away from center of city

Miinukset: internet is expensive !

Plussat: Unfortunately, because it was the end of our long travel from the US, we slept though our stay

Plussat: area not great but hotel was lovely

Miinukset: car parking space

Plussat: friendly staff in particular the waiter from Mauritius and the bar tender.

Miinukset: rather a long way out of town. The map did not make this completely clear, to me at least!

Plussat: Turned up quite late - treated politely. Very nice breakfast, espresso coffee on request. Bed comfortable, clean sheets, clean floor, shower worked. Close to nice beach. Convenient for airport.

Miinukset: It was as expected but there was only one towel.

Miinukset: Near airport runway and flight paths. Very noisy. Very bad public transport from there. It was on the beach, but you would have to pay for towels and beach chairs anyway.

Plussat: The man working at the reception is a very helpful and sympathic, he made us feel at home there.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Price and cigarettes smell in the room

Plussat: The beach

Miinukset: The noise, the fact that the staff was not friendly

Plussat: The location of the hotel is very nice. They also provide a parking service. The girl at the reception was friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The toilet was not clean... it had a lot of brown spots. There were a lot of screws in the locker. The rooms don't look like a 4 star hotel. Internet was slow.

Plussat: Nice Place

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Broken lights, broken mini bar, broken sink. Room was run down, staff sullen and unfriendly. No help with broken facilities. A three night stay not long enough for them to get anything done. Staff at breakfast looked suicidal. Not a great experience all round. Only good thing is the location, close to everything in catania.

Plussat: Rauhallinen vaikka keskellä kaikkea. Ystävällinen palvelu. Hyvä aamupala.

Miinukset: Huone kaipaisi päivitystä. Kylpyhuoneessa hometta.

Plussat: Location and space in the room

Plussat: Great location, very friendly staff and good breakkfast.

Miinukset: Our room was 124 an on Monday morning they had a delivery at 6 - 7 am which was very noisy and woke us up. Our friends in the other parts of the hotel did not hear this.

Plussat: The breakfast provided only the classic international choice. Appreciable in all the world but not in Sicily. Complete absence of typical product.

Miinukset: The room was little and noisy and the window was tough to close and to open

Plussat: Location was really good, very central and many restaurants close by. Parking is also available on the street and only a fraction of the cost of the hotel parking.

Miinukset: Breakfast was very bad - not at all as expected. Especially the coffee is terribly (I believe on purpose, so that you order from the bar). The rooms are kind of dated and there was no way to boil water for coffee/tea on the rooms themselves. Also the water temperature during shower fluctuates heavily every 5-10 seconds (from freezing to boiling).

Plussat: Location is perfect. Staff very friendly & room was well appointed and clean. Great value.

Plussat: Male front staff service was welcoming and more...

Plussat: Professional, discreet and what any experienced traveller requires, Bravo!

Miinukset: Personal, hotel tour guide, facilitator for ones movements around Catania: local consultant...social, cultural and business.

Plussat: The staff was very skilled and able to improvise regarding parking and more. breakfirst fine too.

Plussat: Beautifully situated in the centre of Cantania with very high standard of rooms

Plussat: Charmingly decorated, room spacious, staff friendly and helpful, location excellent.

Plussat: Ystävällisestä henkilökunnasta. Turvallisuuteen oli kiinnitetty erityistä huomiota.

Miinukset: Ei

Plussat: Very friendly staff, helpful and competent. Breakfast rich and good. Position of hotel is good and room was quiet. I am looking forward to spend my time once more in this hotel.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Excellent location, Luigi on the reception desk was exceptionally helpful and even arranged to send on the clothes I'd left to our next hotel in Taormina! We were offered a choice of room and selected a small but well equipped and comfortable room with delightful french windows and balcony. We were on the side of the hotel and this turned out to be quiet. I'd advise you to avoid the front of the hotel at the weekend unless you are going to be out yourself partying late (it's a bit of a gathering place late on in the evening).

Miinukset: The breakfast service was not replenished - we went there half an hour before it closed and it was pretty sparse to say the least, but the coffee and croissants were excellent. It's probably best to get their early. Our bathroom was a little on the snug side which may be a problem for some, but then we did have a choice of larger rooms had we wanted them.

Plussat: Central location, friendly staff, great room.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Very friendly staff. Room excellent. Breakfast not too impressive - but italians don't do breakfast like brits.. Location fine for catania sightseeing etc.

Miinukset: No. It was good and we would stay again. Really liked the place.

Plussat: Good central location with highly efficient and professional staff.

Miinukset: A few problems re noise from nearby bars on the Saturday night!

Plussat: Staff very friendly and helpful, great localization, very clean check-in instructions.

Plussat: It is very central and close to all amenities

Miinukset: No lift

Plussat: The room was clean and lovely location.

Miinukset: Front desk was at the Hotel next door.

Plussat: Keskeinen sijainti. Lentokentän bussi pysähtyy aivan nurkalla.

Miinukset: Matkalaukun kantaminen portaissa kolmanteen kerrokseen on rankkaa.

Plussat: Loistosijainti.

Miinukset: Kova kiipeäminen matkalaukun kanssa ylös, ei hissiä.

Plussat: The location is central and the view is very beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. For parking we were redirected to a nearby safe location. I recommend parking because I had no problems although I forgot the bag in the car. Parking was paid.

Miinukset: Heating based on air conditioning. Bedside tables would have been necessary.

Plussat: The management were very friendly and helpful; available to provide information on transport, trips etc. Do take up the offer of using the roof terrace as it is a great little suntrap and has some fantastic views. (Terrace itself is a basic area on the roof). Location is excellent.

Miinukset: The style of the b&b is unusual and felt like a bizarre hostel. Rooms are functional. If you are seeking a more traditional b&/b or hotel style environment - this would not be the place for you. The building was originally once very ornate and decadent; now it is a bit shabby. I travelled alone and the timed light system was scary the first night as it doesn't give you enough time to get from one part of the hall to the next. That was frustrating. a couple of nights was ok. More than that (especially if you use Catania as a base for your travels around Sicily) and you might want to upgrade or skip to Taormina where there is a wider range of accommodation (albeit more costly) but it is still as easy to travel aroud from the same base.

Plussat: Staff spoke excellent English, recommended great places to visit and eat and made us feel very welcome. Good central location.

Plussat: The room and the building were very authentical, like typical Italian.The room and bathroom are big, clean and pretty. The staff is very helpfull. The location is the best. In the center and quite.

Plussat: the rooms are big and comfertable. beutifull dezigen. the hospetality of Jan Lica- great!

Miinukset: no

Plussat: I liked the helpful friendly host ad the spacious, clean bedroom and bathroom. There was free wifi connection if you have your own computer and cheap rates for the use of the hotel computer.

Plussat: The hotel looks very new, nice lobby and remodeled rooms and bathrooms. The room was very small, the location was great, as long as you walk left when you get out of the hotel (if you go right you'll find lots of hookers, waiting, sitting on plastic chairs, i'm not joking). Great restaurants within 1 block, friendly staff.

Plussat: Great counter people. Nice adequate breakfast with a variety of offerings.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Central locatet in the city Very helpfoul service from the concierge and antonio Exelent Breakfeast We wish you good look in that special time Regards Marcel

Plussat: Breakfest

Miinukset: terrible location !after dark street was filled with drugs and prostitutes Rooms small I had Coffee machine missing in the room 2 small water bottles fly in minifridge

Plussat: Excellent location and value for money.

Plussat: This hotel is gorgeous, so clean and so new right in the centre of Catania. The service was fantastic. When unneeded some medical attention the staff acted fast and immediate. I would totally recommend you stay here

Plussat: Friendly staff and excellent location

Plussat: ...

Miinukset: Dark was the room, no lights enough!

Plussat: The staff are courteous. Antonio in the lounge is the best bartender in Catania!

Miinukset: No suggestions

Plussat: clean, very close to the city center..

Miinukset: girl at the reception did not speak English at all.. very strange futuristic design, felt myself like in a mental hospital.. poor breakfast..

Plussat: This hotel is a good surprise. According to international standards, it is a real *** hotel. According to Sicilian standards it is much more than the usual *** hotel. The personnel provides very good advices: for visiting the country, for visiting the city, for restaurants... The localization is perfect to go to center town. It is also perfect to circulate in and around Catania (taking into account the local driving way). Rooms are very large.

Miinukset: Parking is in the street. It is recommended to ask the personnel to survey the car, but also to help to pay the parking during the day (they are very gentle also for that). It could have been a very good place for families... except that the hotel is located in the border of a desperate area where pitch are operating. A very "glàuco" part of the city (no trouble coming from it for adults).

Plussat: NIce hotel renewed 2010, nice staff, 5min walk to centrum, amazing value for money rate

Plussat: Nice design, new furnitures.

Miinukset: The breakfast was extremely disappointing, the served us three tiny (3 cm diameter) bread slices and some crackers. Far from being enugh considering that it is a 4 star hotel. Air conditionning was inexistant in the public areas outside the hall.

Plussat: The staff is so kind, the building wonderfuly renoved! I had an upgraded room!

Plussat: The rooms very comfortable and clean. The hotel is only 10 minutes walk from the center. Staff helpful. Superb breakfast. Great selection. Hotel easy to find. Good restaurants in area. Will return for sure.

Miinukset: replenish of tea, coffee and milk was never replenished. Would have been great to have after coming in from a cold day. A small table for the balcony is needed.

Plussat: The really helpful staff. we had booked parking for our Porsche but the steep angle of the entrance mae it impossable to get it in. So the Manager and the Concierge went out and sorted some planks of wood so we could get the car in. This also involved stopping the traffic so we could slowly reverse the car in over the planks and through the narrow entrance into the garage. In the evening the guy on reception pointed into the direction of an amazing local restaurant that was packed with locals and was amazing value for money. All the meat was freshly barbecued and included the local specialaties including spring onions wrapped in bacon and horse steaks and sausages. The wine was excellent and really cheap as well. The 3 euro breakfast at the hotel is definately worth having.

Miinukset: The problem of getting the car in the parking garage. Not really suitable if you have a wide car with a low ride height.

Plussat: Iso, parveke hyvä, sänky hyvä

Miinukset: Ei mitään

Plussat: all cery good

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Friendly, professional, knowledgeable staff

Miinukset: Location not great. Difficult to find

Plussat: Location is close to the main street. Safe parking is available in garage very close to the hotel (opposite building). Fitness facilities are modern and quite well equipped. Staff is very friendly and was ready to help any time. Breakfast was very good as described. Can definitely recommend this place to stay for longer period as well.

Plussat: Very helpful staff, both at reception and breakfast. Clean room, comfy bed, reliable and fast wifi connection (APs on each floor provide very good signal). Very good breakfast with a lot of choice and good coffee. One can choose eggs, cold cuts or a typical sweet Italian breakfast. Local food and fruits available too. Fresh orange juice. Location of the hotel is about one km west of Via Etnea. There are two supermarkets within few minutes waking distance, several restaurants within 10 minutes walk.

Miinukset: Scrambled eggs could be warmer. I was given a quiet room #510 (as for Italian standard), however, if it is windy, the entire balcony door vibrates causing noise that wakes you up in the night.

Plussat: Good location, friendly staff and breakfast great value.

Miinukset: Tv controls hard to understand- a simple set of instructions would help.

Plussat: All staff nice Room nice Breakfast okay

Miinukset: No restaurant No pool No bar Noisy outside cars and street noises

Plussat: Very helpful staff, good internet connection.

Plussat: I liked the style of the room, the English language channels on the TV, the courtesy and helpfulness of the staff, the cleanliness of the room..

Plussat: we enjoyed our stay in hotel mediterraneo very central breakfast was very nice rooms confortable

Plussat: Perfect location -10 min.walk from the city center. Friendly staff. Excelent value for money. Quiet zone.

Plussat: Clean and spacious room and bathroom. RIch, fresh and tasty breakfast (eggs, bacon, chees, toasts, croissant, sweets, variety of coffee, cereals, milk, juice, tea, fruits, etc.). Well decorated both, hotel itself and rooms. 15 min by walk away from Calcio Catania football stadium. Seemed as very calm and safe street and neighbourhood. Close to Bellini Park and Via Etnea (main street of the city). Extremely helpful and friendly staff except for one time when a lady refused to pack breakfast as we had to leave early morning for a tour. If you are in the neighbourhood, you will always find the hotel as there are signs and directions for it everywhere!

Miinukset: Away from train station Catania Centrale. Quite distant by walk from Piazza Duomo (central square of the city). Otherwise a hotel with amazing service standards - would definately stay there if I visit again. Would recommend.

Plussat: Excellent location for sightseeing. Beds and pillow (self selection) excellent as were the bathroom and breakfast. Highly recommended.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Parking was good. Staff very helpful and spoke good english.

Miinukset:

Plussat:

Miinukset: no vegetables by breakfast

Plussat: Clean environment & helpful staff.

Miinukset: The spacious balcony could have a small table & 2/3 chairs outside. Also a canopy to ease the heat from the sun would have made it more comfortable.

Plussat: comfortable bed, good aircon, decent size room, large in-room safe, fridge

Miinukset: poor breakfast,location, bland corporate decor, lack of tourist info.

Plussat: We have been in this Hotel several times, its very familiar, very clean and very friendly staff. recommend it to all, family or not. free parking available, good b/fast and not far from centre of Catania.

Miinukset: Nothing!!!!!

Plussat: Breakfast is good and Parking is perfect. Staff is very friendly and polite.

Miinukset: mattresse could be better

Plussat: Good accommodation

Miinukset: NA

Miinukset: The air-conditioning didn't work.

Plussat: The staff are extra friendly and helpful. The parking is super beneficial!

Miinukset: very old facilities. The bathroom was extra old and not comfortable to take a shower due to the cubicle

Plussat: Every time i go to villa mater hotel it is very helpful,cleanliness and good value for money.

Miinukset: Everything was fine

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: I would recommend Free Wifi Connection in all rooms.That will make the Hotel Superb

Plussat: staff at villa mater where vert helpful and nice. a very good parking area for guest

Miinukset: everything was just fine

Plussat: nothing

Miinukset: the room the noise

Plussat: Nothing special

Miinukset: Too far from centre. Parking a nightmare, under duress to get out of the cars blocking us in when going to airport Sun morning

Plussat: The view from window. Comfortable bed.

Miinukset: Bathrooms are very small and old.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli todella hyva, kuten valikoima. Huone oli todella siisti.

Miinukset: Voisivat ottaa paremmin selvaa bussien aikatauluista tai hotellilla voisi olla vaikka joku edullinen kuljetus kaupungille ja sielta pois.

Plussat: The hotel is located in a very quiet place, clean and full of scent. Rooms and the whole hotel is perfectly cleaned.

Miinukset: far away from Downtown Catania, the buses have no "orario" ...

Plussat: The staff is very kind, the hotel is perfect. I can highly recommend it.

Miinukset: At first it's difficult to find. but eventelly is very easy.

Plussat: Free, secure parking in the hotel's yard Breakfast variety: far better than many more expensive hotels in Italy Great view of Catania from room windows Form for guests to give their opinion and suggestions (in Italian): we took it as a sign of the management wanting to improve the service Unbeatable value-for-money, a great base to explore east Sicily by car

Miinukset: Somewhat hard to find, have you GPS at hand A little old room furnishing but in very good condition Only one PC for internet access: could be useful if there was a second one or a network switch with cables to plug in more than one laptops

Plussat: Really friendly staff and nice room with a fantastic view.

Miinukset: the coffee

Plussat:

Miinukset: Not easy to find a way to the hotel

Miinukset: It was advertised they had a bar you could not get a drink . Bar closed all the time . Staff very. Rude. Would not recommend to anyone

Plussat: Very clean. Nice size room. Very helpful staff.

Miinukset: Name of hotel had changed so had difficulty finding it. Cwry nice hotel but it was under construction during our stay. The view was blocked because of this and workers were right outside our window. The noise in the AM prevented us frim sleeping and we had to keep drapes closed for privacy. This was extremely disruptive as we were traveling and needed sleep.

Plussat: Very clean, excellent location with beautiful views of the sea, friendly service, very good price, good breakfast.

Miinukset: Desperately in need of a renovation- hotel hasn’t seen any updating since the late 1980s possibly. Wallpaper peeling off, walls need a fresh coat of paint,beds uncomfortable, showering seems like entering a drain pipe ( water nice and hot though), windows didn’t let us sleep on third night of our stay due to loud rattling because of high winds, carpeting needs replacement as faded and torn in places. Staying here makes you feel like you’re back in the ‘80s. That said, it is extremely clean and the service people are lovely - even though the two extra pillows we requested never arrived.

Plussat: Clean, breakfast and comfortable

Miinukset: Needs uplifting

Plussat: Convenient location and parking facilities.

Miinukset: The hotel needs a re vamp, fitted carpets on wall there is mould, room was too hot asked for ac they said that in winter it can only heat, had to stay with the window open to get some fresh air.

Plussat: Staff very friendly

Miinukset: Shower a bit small

Plussat: I didn't like anything best, it was good that the stuff speaks English.

Miinukset: The room is pretty small and dirty, the housekeeper throw away many useful things from the table, it smells like mold, the breakfast is very poor and the same every day, we had ants in the bathroom.

Plussat: Value for the money. Jessica, at front desk , very helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: Failure to keep breakfast items stocked.

Plussat: the staff is very kind and helpful, especially Jessica who is a real etna-trip-expert". thank you for the patience and answers :)

Miinukset: the bathroom is not too big and the wifi for 7 GBP/hour is not the 21st century

Plussat: Hotel is on the seaside , out of the city centre , the area is O.K. and quiet . the connection by bus with all of catania is O.K. and cheap .breakfast is very good for an italian hotel . is my first 3 stars hotel with 32 inch ( 82 cm ) lcd .

Plussat: Buses to city of Catania close to hotel & easily accessible. Quiet area & safe even at night. All in all a great hotel close to everything.

Miinukset: Showers are way too small. I am a bigger lady & found it a little difficult to shower due to the size of the cubicle. I thought a double room meant a double bed...I was wrong, we slept in single beds. Maybe the beds can be put together for a married couple.

Plussat: the view over the sea

Miinukset: your staff in the reception should be better to understand and talk English, and why were the breakfast not included in the price it is at nearly any other hotel all over Europe?

Plussat: Good room and services

Miinukset: Rather impersonal

Plussat: Excellent bed and mattrice

Miinukset: location

Plussat: location

Miinukset:

Plussat: Excellent breakfast, helpful staff, private parking.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Great central location. Pretty roof terrace.

Miinukset: Carpets are filthy!

Plussat: In general the staff were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Our room, although large, was dingy and dark. The carpets , both in the room and in the corridor, were filthy; a disgraceful situation. Also our ‘non smoking’ had had a smoker staying in there and there had been an attempt at deodorising the room. We stayed on a Saturday and Sunday night and the street noise was outrageously loud; even through double glazing. If you would like to sleep do not book a ‘superior’ room under any circumstances. For what they were, the rooms are over priced.

Plussat: The old maison was adapted to the hotel, rooms were beautiful, location just in the center closed to opera house and via Etna, super roof terace, friendly stuff.

Miinukset: You can hear well the neighbours, carpets on floors need refreshment, there are mostly sweets and fruits for breakfast

Plussat: An extremely convenient location, right at the historic city centre and only a 15 minutes walk from the train station, a historic bulding, a simple but comfortable and clean room, an outstanding breakfast, and, above all, a super friendly and helpful staff: we have absolutely enjoyed our stay.

Plussat: Todella miellyttävä hotelli ja ystävällinen ilmapiiri. Erinomainen valikoitunut aamiainen kattoterassilla. Hyvää kahvia , palvelu 10+.

Plussat: Large, spacious room. Comfortable bed. Helpful staff. Uniquely decorated ceiling.

Miinukset: An English speaking tv channel such as BBC news would have been useful. Generally no complaints.

Plussat: Liked the location, staff were excellent.

Miinukset: Bathroom was always smelling of damp, most unpleasant. The carpets in the room was very dirty. Breakfast was ok but have had much better.

Plussat: the location was central

Miinukset: in the first it is difficult to find the hotel as the location known as a Manganelli, you can find Manganelli Square, Manganelli restaurant around there and yes, after I asked 2 people we found Manganelli Hotel. Hotel staff's English is not excellent. Hotel is very different than the photos, not reflecting realities. Breakfast is very limited, and only one staff responsible to serve, to top up the buffet, to clean etc. they are offering two different types of cheese and cheese are thinly sliced and limited if there is no cheese or any other food hotel offers, you need to wait the staff availability to top up the buffet.

Miinukset: Fabulous stay, excellent location, especially loved the outside terrace for breakfast, clean rooms and friendly staff, a great choice....

Plussat: Erinomainen aamupala, sijainti ja mukava henkilökunta. Huone oli iso. Tulisin uudestaan!

Miinukset: Huoneessa ja käytävillä vähän kuluneisuutta.

Plussat: Welcoming delightful staff and wonderful painted ceilings

Miinukset: Cracked mirror in bedroom

Plussat: The staff was very helpful and our room was very nice

Miinukset: I was disappointed that there was no jacuzzi in the suite as promised. That was the only reason we paid extra and there is not one. But overall the staff and the room were very nice.

Plussat: I appreciated a lot the beautifull room: large, with fine fornitures and, overall, a ceiling with original decoration. The staff (Simona and her collegues) was very efficient and polite. If I'll come back to Catania I'll choose Manganelli Palace again

Plussat: Great accomodation, centrally located with a great breakfast. The staff were lovely and very very helpful always. Would recommend and will stay again.

Plussat: We really liked Manganelli Palace. The central location was perfect to walk around Catania and to take the bus to Aci Castello. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Our room was big with a decoratively painted ceiling. The bathroom was modern and very clean. But what it really made this place outstanding was the staff: Simona, Dario and Danilo. Kind and extremely pleasant, they helped us fully with our travel nightmares (BA and Alitalia), thank you all! We highly recommend this hotel to everyone in search of affordable luxury and individual courtesy.

Plussat: Very helpful staff available 24 hours. Very quiet given position of our room overlooking a main road. Very safe and secure. Many hotels in same price bracket probably wouldn't compete.

Miinukset: Controlling the air conditioning overnight

Plussat: Parking within hotel grounds, friendly staff

Miinukset: The area of Catania - I would not return to Catania

Plussat: Staff very helpful and friendly. Quite central. They should try to increase in parking facility. If you don't have where to park, then it is impossible to find a parking space in the streets.

Miinukset: For a Hotel, with very few parking spaces, located on the 2nd Floor, a small lift, the Hotel is rather expensive. Prices are like a 4 star Hotel in other Italian Cities.

Plussat: location and character of rooms

Miinukset:

Plussat: Small hotel with very nice atmosphere. The rooms are beautifully decorated especially the sealings which are hand painted. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: Difficult to find parking space
