Catania hotellit lähellä Palazzo Biscari

Plussat: Excellent location above all and very close to a guarded parking lot with very reasonable prices. There is a shared kitchen all tenants can use that is equiped with everythind one might need.

Miinukset: The room was clean, but not the cleanest you can get. Not to the point that bothers you, but to the point you notice.

Plussat: Location is very central. The bathroom is big. In the breakfast you can choose one very delicious pastry and a hot drink, but for us it was enough, because the pastry was big and full of stuffing.

Miinukset: The air conditioner was loud. After we checked out of the b&b the host asked us to rate them with 10.

Plussat: Location was perfect, the room was ok and ac worked perfectly.

Miinukset: Towels not changed, not cleaned, wifi not working

Plussat: if you want to be in the centre of town this is the place to be. Very close to restaurants bars and shops. There is a small shared kitchen where you can cook a meal or make coffee.

Miinukset: Parking on the street is a crime. You can park your car a five minutes walk from the appartment. This is a secured parking.

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: Great location. It was really helpful to simply have own key for entry and exit when you like. Rooms were spacious and with quiet air conditioning so you could leave it on at night and still sleep easily.

Miinukset: We didn’t use the shared kitchen space.

Plussat: Centre

Miinukset: It was.fine and easy to reach my goal

Plussat: In the center of Catania, spacious room with good facilities. Nice staff.

Miinukset: Nothing, good quality/price

Plussat: very good location.

Miinukset: i had asked in advance if it was a problem when we arrive at 1am because our plane arrived late and was told it was no problem. when we arrived we were asked to pay 14€ "city tax" by the receptionist. we saw online that city tax was only 1 to 1,50€ per person, so we didn't want to pay it, because we weren't told about that in advance. the receptionist was very insistant and then called someone (the owner?) because his english was better, who said the 10 euro were an extra fee for our late check in and only the 4 euro was city tax. but that there was a problem with the water so we could talk about that in the morning. in the morning someone had texted me on whatsapp if everything was ok. at the reception they again wanted the money from us and then we again talked on the phone and were told we only had to pay the 4 euro because of the problem with the water (that was leeking out of underneath the shower). after we had left he asked me to leave a 10 point review here, which unfortunatly i cannot. long story short: if you charge for late check in, please put that on your website + inform your guests about it before they arrive, espically if they ask you if a late arrival is a problem.

Plussat: the staff messaged me everyday to see if everything is oki

Plussat: Location, kind host, cleanliness

Miinukset: Noise from the street

Plussat: Clean comfortable and staff friendly

Plussat: The place way perfect - close to city centre and very close to transportation (train, bus, taxi). The staff was perfect - kind and helpful.

Plussat: Breakfast could be a bit better and more differential.

Plussat: The staff was amazing ! Our room was sparkling clean during our stay. The receptionists succeeded to fulfill all of our funny and childish requests.

Miinukset: If your room is overlooking the main street it could get quite nosy at night. The first room we got was on the first floor and had some unpleasant mold smell. However, we asked to be moved to another room.

Plussat: Nice interior and rooms comfortable. Seems it is a student residence / hotel in holiday season

Miinukset: Location- its in a very run down area and didn’t feel safe outside however it’s very convenient for the airport and just 15 Min walk to the historic old town.

Plussat: Very central location, staff was helpful

Miinukset: Old building, the room was in general not so comfortable. Breakfast definitely to be improved.

Plussat: Kind of cleaning service every day. Good towels:) Air-conditioning is really good!

Miinukset: Breakfast - we stopped going there after the 1st day. Coffee was really bad for Italy :) Croissant was undercooked, no choice at all. Don't waste your time going there. There is a nice place called Di Dio just 5 min from the hotel. There were no hangers in the 1st room. We asked, then we had to go for them to the reception. Noone could bring to the room? In the 2nd room there was only 1 hanger.. For a toilet paper when it's finished we also had to go to the reception..During cleaning they didn't put an extra one :d The shower holder was broken but noone fixed it neither before, nor during the say. The cleaning lady couldn't not to notice that it needs to be fixed.

Plussat: I came here after bad experiences in other places. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly from the beginning to the end. Especially one gentleman with glasses and the lady. The room was quite modern with security locs, air climation and the bathroom was very clean. Good wifi connection. There is a gym and breakfast included. I could finally do my laundry there too.

Plussat: The staff are very helpful

Plussat: Amazing room

Miinukset: Breakfast to sweet

Plussat: Breakfast very good, open terasse with sea view, good selection

Miinukset: The bar is small and not fully open during the evenings

Plussat: Property is perfect for beach. There may be no private beach for the hotel, but there are several close by, which are very accessible. There are also several restaurants near by and a supermarket which is super great! The stuff were very welcoming, helping and friendly!

Miinukset: The public transport was quite far and the buses weren’t very often, so you need to walk quite a lot.

Plussat: Great location, has changed my mind of Catania, great bars and restaurants. great walks and sight seeing.

Miinukset: The swimming locations for beach access had closed even thought is what 30 C.

Plussat: Staff were really friendly and helpful

Plussat: Nice hotel but a bit outdated in terms of rooms and facilities (eg shower). Room large enough to accommodate a family of four (incl two small children). Good breakfast, although at a certain moments the staff was not sufficient, nor the tables for the number of guests arriving. AC not working in the room during first night but after request support, staff was really helpful and fixed it!

Miinukset: A bit outdated facilities.

Plussat: Everything else.

Miinukset: There was not such a good variety of fruits and vegetables, comparatively to desserts, and it's a pity. Butter and cheese were placed near hot dishes, and consequently they were warm and not tasty for me.

Plussat: Very nice and clean hotel close to everything. Recommend.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Sea view Bathroom. Good shower. Products

Miinukset: Twin beds not double even though requested x 2 Piano bar - no piano. Bar not staffed. Always had to request service. Location not as clos to centre as led to believe. Cost of parking at hotel not made clear. Limited breakfast choice , plus disposable cups for coffee. Unpleasant.

Plussat: Very central.

Miinukset: Breakfast choices

Plussat: The presseco breakfast

Miinukset: What a lovely hotel. We have stayed here many times and always enjoyed the time spent there, with friendly staff and a fab breakfast. Overall a 5* stay everytime.

Plussat: Through out my stay smiley, helpful and warm Catalonian staff greeted, and assisted me. Nothing was too much for them. My room offered a glorious view of this gem of a historic city. Through the open window I gazed out to inhale the soft sweet air of a city where so many millions wandered down the city streets steeped in a rich history. My bathroom was spacious, and I loved the floor to ceiling marble. For two days I felt the long distant relative of an emperor. Supper I enjoyed in the el fresco courtyard. How divine was that. A tasty menu under stars and sultry warm air. I enjoyed a dreamy stay at Katane Palace Hotel where the ancient ghosts from yesterday still live on and on.

Miinukset: Nothing. It was five star elegance.

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: Helpful, friendly staff. Lovely hotel with a lot of character and charm.

Plussat: Location is fine; short walk to town Firm mattress

Miinukset: All but one staff were unfriendly to rude Rooms are bare essentials Old worn out feel to whole hotel Shower changed pressure and temperature repeatedly during use; complained to front desk - didn’t care. Never got back to us Can’t get coffee or tea if not during meal windows Uncomfortable sheets No tissues in bath TP rough

Plussat: The location of the hotel is quite convenient. The city center, train and bus stations are nearby.

Miinukset: It is rather noisy because of high audibility. You can hear conversations in the corridor and slamming doors. Poor breakfast.

Plussat: The location of hotel is very good. The staff of hotel is very cooperative. The breakfast is very good there.

Miinukset: A neglected depressing hotel

Plussat: Great inner garden where you can have breakfast. Quiet room, comfortable mattress and clean bathroom. Good AC, which was also very silent, excellent in summmer.

Miinukset: The minibar wasn't really working properly, but they were kind to store a bottle of prosecco overnight for us. A croissant (btw, delicious) we brought back from breakfast was taken over by ants in 10-15 min being left on the desk. Didn't have time to complain to management as we were leaving the same morning.

Plussat: Big Room, quiet (side lane), all you need for 2 days. Breakfast is a bit basic - though they had lactose free milk. But I am not there to stuff myself with breakfast specialities. Plus italy is not a breakfast country. (Croissant, Cafe is enough)

Miinukset: The area is a bit awkward. When leaving the hotel, the consierge advised us to walk on the main road. There are more cars. Areas in Katania often look very run down. So this lane was average. And maybe Katania as such is not such a safe place. Although, I had no personal bad experience, even when inadvertidly walking though a really poor area on the way to the bus. Overall the city is really poor, dirty and feels mismanaged (for a middle European). If one stay on the beaten tourist paths, though, you get the show that you pay for. The main streets in the center are clean, the houses facades are renovated. Inside some of them still crumble (e.g. a previous cloisture, now the state archive, with electrical cables outside the historic walls in the patio and old archive papers, obviously rotting in the light behind the window.)

Plussat: The Breakfast room and food are both top-notch. Lots of choices of breads, fruits, meats, cheeses and sparkling wine. It is all offered in an elegant old-world style dining room.

Miinukset: Everything was nice and better than we expected.

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: A nice selection for breakfast, after watching the sun come up over the city - 50:50 chance of seeing it depending on whether you have an east or west facing room.

Miinukset: Litter, including a tampon (unused) in the flower pots at the front door of the hotel. Door for shower hits the toilet and doesn’t open fully.

Plussat: Staff very helpful and polite room was spotless beds great.

Miinukset: Not having longer there as it was quick visit.

Plussat: Staff were very helpful and friendly-

Plussat: All very good!!! Enjoyed staying at this hotel. The staff at reception were all great and very helpful. Look forward to staying at your hotel next time we visit your City. Excellent! Thank you all, Arun Dry

Plussat: The wifi, the breakfast were very good.

Miinukset: It is a 20 minutes walk from the main square and 10minutes to a street full of of restaurants.

Plussat: Good hotel, as normal NH brand. Rooms was good and comfortable. Outside of city centre, it’s a 15 minute walk so not too bad, but there’s plenty of other hotels closer if you’d rather. Easy street parking in front of the hotel for about €0.87 per hour. You can also take the 534 bus from the stop in front of the hotel (Trento) to the city centre, just behind the Cathedral, Piazza Borsellino. Make sure you buy your tickets first though. Of Sicily, we liked Catania the least. Quite a dirty city all in all. The Piazza del duomo and the main Etna street are nice, but otherwise not much. We were upsold at C/I to breakfast at €10, very decent price for the great choice it had.

Miinukset: A/C in the room was very tricky to control. Either it freezes you in a few minutes or it doesn’t work... Old system

Plussat: location staff

Miinukset: room booked not real room - twin bed booked and single bed received they ask to pay 2,5 euro City tax but it was included in my reservation quite cold în the room and I cannot set temperature...simple sistem but maybe not functional for heating

Plussat: Rooms, Beds, staff & all

Miinukset: Didn't try the breakfast option out so can't really comment on that

Plussat: The staff were helpful and professionals. Check in and check out was very fast even if we had 4 rooms. They helped us always we needed something also in the night. One of the receptionist eqquiped boat trip for us. Hotel has good location, easy to reach city centre, bus stop in front of the hotel. The rooms were clean, every day clean towels and the room as well. Breakfast quite good, a lot of sweet cakes, croissants, fruit, ham, cheese, but not to much vegetables... good coffee. Sometimes we had a little problem to park our car but its normaly in Sicily:) In October we will go to Catania again and I am thinking about to book same hotel again

Miinukset: little vegetables for breakfast...
