Catania hotellit lähellä Piazza Universita

Plussat: Location is fantastic, directly on the pedestrian street. Staff is nice and polite, rooms are clean. Breakfast is also good.

Miinukset: Check in and out process is kind of slow and every time we needed our car out from the garage we had to wait about 15-20 minutes

Plussat: we had an upgrade to a suite with complimentary a la carte breakfast on the 7th floor, it was delicious with spectacular views of mount Etna and with such peace and quiet, location 100% could not ask for anything more convenient, the suite we had was cosy and clean

Miinukset: all in all we had a pleasant stay so i do not know what could have been better,

Plussat: Start very helpful.

Miinukset: Air Conditioning in the room did not work efficiently

Plussat: Very well situated, upscale property. Very close to many excellent restaurants. The staff was really outstanding.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: LOCATION.

Miinukset: NO VIEW FROM ANY ROOM.

Plussat: The room was spacious and clean.The breakfast was always fresh with an exhausting selection of continental and local items.The breakfast staff was particularly friendly and helpful. The reception staff recommended a great local seafood restaurant.

Plussat: A very nice breakfast. Bacon more for the europeans than the english. Staff very helpful. If you arrive by car, best to book the parking in advance otherwise it is on street parking which can be a bit tricky. Catania is an old city and has many more cars and scooters than it can really handle and that is reflected by the standards of driving with the locals taking the 'dive for the gap' technique. Hotel is about a 10-15 minute walk into the centre of town

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: big room

Miinukset: bad location

Plussat: the breakfast was excellent

Plussat: Practically everything. Very clean hotel. Staff is very helpful, comfortable beds and abbundant breakfast. Thanks for your service.

Miinukset: Unfortunately position is off the centre, otherwise everything is great.

Plussat: Good location Friendly staff VERY good breakfast.

Miinukset: The only drawback: the water in the shower wasn''t hot enough. Hot enough for "normal" people, not enough for "I like it burning (like my wife)"

Plussat: Location. Nicely furnished and modern.

Miinukset: With the slight option of salads and sandwiches no restaurant for full fledged lunch or dinner. Bedroom had no comfortable seating.

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: Excellent location and value for money.

Plussat: Friendly staff and excellent location

Plussat: Staff amazing, happy, welcoming . Location central. Hotel very comfortable. Great position to walk everywhere. Loved it!!!

Plussat: The big room with murals on the ceiling. Good airco.

Miinukset: Breakfast was a bit boring.

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: To be honest this property location was excellent but nothing in the room worked. This is an old hotel, needs up keep. Phone didn’t, sink in the washroom every time I asked for assistance they said sure I will ask someone to assist, but know one came. The staff were very moody and had attitude. Anything I asked it was an effort. This hotel is historical but there no mention on either the website or in the hotel staying the hotel originally goes back to the 16th century.

Miinukset: Nothing, would not recommend.

Plussat: Location is excellent. Breakfast is OK typical Italian not geared to Northern Europeans Rooms vary quite a lot so that makes booking a little difficult

Miinukset: No facilities in the room for making Tea or Coffee

Plussat: Very clean rooms and hotel - superb location to explore the city.

Miinukset: The bed was two singles pushed together - also the bar wasn’t open very late for residents.

Plussat: Very good location nearby all places of interest, excellent cleanness of the room

Miinukset: Quite a long check-inn, we prepaid room (we paid through booking.сom) but we were asked twice during the stay (at check-inn and check-out) to pay for the room repeatedly so we had to show booking.com confirmation which proves prepayment Shower is leaking on the floor of the bathroom through shower cabin slits

Plussat: The staff is very well trained in accommodating your individual travel needs and helpful.

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

Miinukset: Huone kaipaisi päivitystä. Kylpyhuoneessa hometta.

Plussat: Location, location, location. Next to one of the best restaurants in town Bell Antonino. Highly recommend.

Miinukset: The hotel is understaffed. When we arrived, there’s a big group there. Apparently one receptionist is not sufficient.

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: Nothing

Miinukset: Too far away from a 4 star hotel standards. Rooms are dirty. A lot of noise coming from doors opening, service elevators to the room. Not worth what you pay

Plussat: Hyvä vuode, lähellä keskustaa ja maittava aamiainen

Plussat: Central location to where we needed to be

Plussat: At the breakfast time you can get free glass of cava. Kept our luggages free of charge because of the late flight Staff while complaining putted some efforts to fix it Felt safe even the homeless people were sleeping almost by the door of the entrance of it

Miinukset: I have booked the room with the mountain Etna view and a balcony. I have payed more money just to have exactly that room for the very special occasion. They have upgraded me for the suit, but it was just a room with the ugly street view, just a bigger than regular. If I would have a chance and I would just cancel it. Beds were absolutely uncomfortable and the wallpapers were falling apart. Room carpets seems were cleaned properly long time ago and I started having dust allergy (I have small asthma). I am not even talking about dusty curtains. Reception - absoltely useless. When we have asked for the nice beach close by we were guided to some black sand beach with big waves, which is 15 min away. We have walked around 2 hours searching, but the ones around were just rocks or just kinda sandish with a fresh fish seller and come cats around. After making a pit stop at the coffee place and checking google we figured out that the nice one is 25 min drive from where we were. If you ever decide to stay in here just know that reception doesn't know much or doesn't really care. Breakfast for the value of money was absolutely dissapointing as for example coffee of one of our days was finished (more than 1 hour before the breakfast has been finished) as some other things. The staff was just relaxing and having their breakfast just by the side of the guests. Not a good selection of vegetables, just 4 kinds - two types of low quality letuce, worse ever seen tomatoes in Catania and something more what I don't remember. Even boiled eggs were not fresh!!! A bit of fruit, some juice, wafles and so on. No avena flakes, just kellogs style stuff. Looks good from far away. Would highly recomend places for food around the hotel. You will be surprised how good it is comparing to what you are getting in a hotel. Shower in a room was barelly alive as no water preasure and it takes some time to regulate it, sink was clogged.

Miinukset: Room condition not very good - mainly wall coverings peeling off, worn and just a bit 'tired". Breakfast very good, dinner was very poor. Bar service excellent.

Plussat: Spacious room, bathroom comfortable, breakfast good, all staff very helpful. Great Location and car parking and guest pick up access was very convenient. The overall hotel building was quite grand however,generally needs restoration throughout.

Miinukset: Carpet and furniture throughout was very dated and threadbare. Elevators not safe, due to door closure not sensitive to obstruction either by a person or object. Room/Door was squeaky, Light fittings were loose and coming away from the walls. Again, the building is quite grand and is in dire need of updating to it's former glory.

Plussat: We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. There was a variety of foods available for us to choose from. For us the location was perfect. We wanted a place close to everything but not in the middle of Catania.

Miinukset: I'm not sure I would change anything as all our needs were meet.
