The reaction of the management was horrible. no Management of the hotel did not extend an apology or even listen to our complaints. I would not recommend anybody using the hotel due to the security issues.

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

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

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Plussat: Nice hotel but a bit outdated in terms of rooms and facilities (eg shower).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Miinukset: A bit outdated facilities.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: The croissants were great and on the whole the breakfast was varied and catered for all tastes

Miinukset: Being British we thought the tea drinkers were not catered for: For example there was never any English breakfast tea available nor large cups available (there were only 2 mugs!!!)

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: Bardzo twarde materace na łóżkach . Very hard mattresses on the beds .

Miinukset: A neglected depressing hotel

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...

Plussat: The hotel offers nice variety of food for breakfast. The rooms are well equipped and nicely designed. The shuttle bus worked perfectly during the summer, it runs according to a schedule given by hotel. The staff were really nice and helpful. The communal spaces were very nice.

Miinukset: The beach is private, but it was not private to the hotel guests only. It is free for hotel guests during the week days, during weekends hotel guests needs to pay a fee. It is a small fee of 5€ per person. The beach is at the end of runaway for planes, so in case you dont mind ryanair flying above your head every half an hour you are fine. Beach was however clean. Location of the hotel isnt the most ideal, but during summer hotel provides shuttle bus service. Our bathroom need a bit of refurbishment, particularly shower.

Plussat: A wonderful, romantic oldy worldly hotel. Yes, some aspects could be improved, but for that price, it is a revelation slash bargain. The cocktail lounge makes you feel like an Oscar Wildesque dandy, the hotel pool smacks of the south of France and the restaurant reminds me of the grand terraces of Opatija. Exquisitely furnished, the vila has all the aspects needed for a grand, old European vacation.

Miinukset: They could do with a better restaurant. The spectacular setting deserves more accomplished cooking. Luckily, gems such as Tre Bocche, Il Pescatore and Bistrot Napoleon are round the corner (10 min taxi rides), so you are gastronomically covered (you can easily walk to Il Pescatore)

Plussat: We liked the place and the room that was given to us was big compared to what one might expect in Italy. There are no restaurants in the neighborhood, but the restaurant of the hotel was very, very good.

Miinukset: The hotel is nicely situated on top of the hill, but a little bit too far from downtown Catania.

Plussat: Very elegant villa. The pool was great. Extremely tasty food.

Miinukset: Plenty of noise from neighbouring rooms, including toilet sounds. WiFi not working on any device despite a lot of effort. Pizza and some other menu items promised but not available - no reason given, and no information about its availability the next days. Pool closes for no good reason as early as 7 PM. Restaurant food very tasty but overpriced. If you don't have own car you will have no alternative since the hotel is far from the city and there is little in terms of shops of restaurants in the neighbourhood. No fresh fruit juice or other healthier drinks for kids (just Fanta, Cola and Sprite). No tap or filtered water served, only bottled. While the villa is beautiful, the neighbourhood is not.

Plussat: The hotel is very professionally run. All of the services are very good, the staff, food, premises are excellent. I chose this hotel because we were visiting Etna and I did not want to be in the center city. I was also pleased that they had a swimming pool where you could relax after a long day of sightseeing.

Miinukset: In fact, the location was a bit inconvenient. We ended up taking taxis multiple times which added to the cost. The pool was small and crowded most of the day.

Miinukset: Paid for a city tax in my booking and had to pay at hotel as well. Not very clean rooms.

Plussat: Excellent staff, very clean rooms, great location.

Plussat: Lovely hotel with good food and facilities Free beach shuttle and pass

Miinukset: There is only one restaurant within walking distance

Plussat: Everything! Really great rooms.

Miinukset: Excellent hotel and really nice staff, a very pleasant place to stay*****
