Catania hotellit lähellä Palazzo di Giustizia

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: 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: People were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Though I had asked for a quiet room and was at the end of the corridor, it was very loud: the person at the reception on all days did all her calls( continously) at full voice via the loudspeaker and , the way the acoustics is in the hotel, I could understand every word and could not escape this.very annoying.

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

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.

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

Plussat: position for exploring

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.

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.

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: 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

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.

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: 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

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.
