Catania hotellit lähellä Palazzo Biscari

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: 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.

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.

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: 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.
