Catania hotellit lähellä Porta Uzeda

Plussat: A highlight of our trip to Sicily! Beautifully, almost luxuriously, furnished and extremely friendly staff. Wish we had more time to spent there.

Miinukset: The location is a bit off the center of town, but not too much. It the decorations more than compensate for this.

Plussat: Very quiet and comfortable

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The immediate surroundings are perhaps typical of some of the back-street areas of Catania, however, the Liberty Hotel is an absolute real GEM. It offers tranquillity, with a wonderful welcoming and restful ambience. Having said that, the staff are so friendly, helpful and personable, who take 'service' to another level. Around the corner within just a few minutes walk are excellent local restaurants serving great fresh food and hospitality. The main square for buses, - inc. Airport bus is just 5 minutes walk away, - with many of the sites also being in reasonable walking distance. The hotel is quite exceptional for what it offers, and our stay exceeded expectations and was a wonderful bonus to our holiday!

Plussat: Breakfast was good and staff friendly and very helpful. We were upgraded to a bigger room so that was a nice surprise.

Miinukset: I would have expected an iron and coffee making facilities.

Plussat: Lovely hotel with fantastic staff. The breakfast was great. The rooms are decorated in a fabulous style. I enjoyed the cocktails we had in the lobby after a hot day of sight seeing

Plussat: The staff were exceptionally kind, corteous and helpful.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very helpful staff. Very clean and quiet rooms. I was fortunate to be upgraded to a suite. Very nice! Breakfast was nice.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was great

Plussat: Lovely location and beautiful service.

Plussat: Staff is super competent, kind and proactive; at my request, I had gluten-free food for breakfast. Candied orange peels and sugar coated almonds were a great local plus!!! Ambience and furniture (in Liberty style) made the atmosphere special. Gorgeous jasmin berceau outside!

Plussat: Everything was perfect. Our host, Julia was extra friendly and helpful. For breakfast we could choose between a lot of options. We are thankful and hope to come back once. Grazie mille!!!

Miinukset: -

Plussat: The place was great, the breakfast is really nice, the ladies are extra nice and they are very attentive. I recommend this place!

Plussat: Many thanks for your hospitality. Both Gullia and Lucia are very nice and helpful. Very clean and comfortable room, with an air conditioner, clean bathroom with shampoo and hair dryer. Good breakfast with tasty espresso!!! Excellent!

Miinukset: Pillows were horrible!

Miinukset: We had a hard time finding parking but we eventually found a spot

Plussat: Friendly host. Clean room. Near airport. Great pizzeria Vicolo at 500 meters, giant pizzas (1 is enough for 2 persons!), very good.

Miinukset: B&B is simple but sufficient for 1 night, not more. Bed is just a few wooden pallets with matrass. Very simple breakfast.Catania center is a disaster, heavy chaotic traffic, not clean, very narrow streets. B&B difficult to find. Free parking between 20-8.

Plussat: Lovely kind helpful hosts. Excellent breakfast. Good value for money. We found street parking outside easily. The hosts explained how to pay for the parking.

Miinukset: The walls are super thin so first might a Sunday was very noisy. Next two nights it was fine.

Plussat: The room was very clean and the staff very kind people!Our stay was very nice!

Miinukset: Everything was great!

Miinukset: There was no free public parking in the neighborhood.

Plussat: The location is good, 10 minutes walk from the main street in Catania with lots of shops, restaurants and bars.

Miinukset: When I reserved the apartment it was noted that the check in time ends at 9 pm, however what was not noted anywhere was that the later check in after 9 is additional 15 euros! I was informed about this later in an email although the booking was not refundable otherwise for more than 60 euro for a night I would have stayed in a hotel. [ I wrote the check in time during the booking and I received an email 2 days later ] The pillows were really really hard and we had trouble sleeping whole night. Although it is written that there is a free parking, if you arrive with an evening flight as us, you wont be able to find one because it is a public parking on a street.

Plussat: The receptionists were all friendly and ready to answer any questions, including giving advice on where to spend the day. The place is clean and the rooms are a good size.

Miinukset: There is practically no sound proofing so it can be loud, depending on how many people are in the b&b at the same time. It's also quite far from the centre on foot, and even further from the train and main bus station.

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: The room was very clean and specious. The bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the facility.

Miinukset: The breakfast was quite poor in our opinion. The staff served literally five (!) slices of ham for breakfast. It was too little for such a big hotel.

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

Plussat: Everything was fine, we had a good stay here. :-) The staff is very polite and helpful, the rooms are nice and clean, the breakfast is acceptable. You can park your car for free in the nearby streets, as long as you keep of the places marked with blue lines.

Plussat: Nothing to like here .shambles not worth a single cent or penny

Miinukset: Staff were rude very very noisy hotel....ruin our trip

Plussat: Very friendly staff, that answers questions by e-mail very quick. It is REALLY 24-hours reception. To my luck they let me to leave my bag at early morning and then to check in at the evening. Room was really clean. Hot water has really hot. Wi-fi was fast. Breakfast was ok: kind of meat, cheese, jam, nutella, croissants, some kind of bread, corn flakes, juces, coffe, tea. I liked it.

Plussat: Good location fairly close to train and bus stations (walking distance), and close to great restaurants. Good value for money. Large room.

Miinukset: A little noisy from guests internally.

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: Very helpful staff. They sorted out a problem when one of our party had forgotten to bring their passport. They gave us good advice on nearby restaurants. They ordered us a taxi and kept our luggage safe after checkout but before we left the city.

Miinukset: All the scrambled eggs and bacon were gone because we got up too late for breakfast!

Plussat: Amazing room

Miinukset: Breakfast to sweet

Plussat: Stayed here overnight between flights from Rome to Catania. Arrived late and left early to no opinion on the area.

Miinukset: Uncomfortable bed

Plussat: Good breakfast, eapecially for 3 EUR Friendly staff Great value for money

Miinukset: Elevator was super slow and old Air conditioning in the room was not so powerful

Plussat: Nice room, great breakfast and helpful staff

Miinukset: Definitely noise, I was on an inner courtyard so no street noise but you could hear everything in the next room then the bathroom Awful

Plussat: The breakfast was amazing and the best part of the stay

Miinukset: All was good!

Plussat: Friendly staff, hotel on a walking distance from monumental and shopping areas. Lots of fun places to have dinner and a drink nearby. Very clean and in well condition. For a fee, you can get your car in a private parking. Good breakfast selection.

Plussat: The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. A tiny bit of street noise outside that seemed to fade at a reasonable time. The check in and staff were friendly and helped set up a taxi at fixed rate for our airport trip the next morning. He was also keen to inform me about Best Western discounts and points in future. For a small hotel and breakfast room the breakfast was really great with the added bonus of Sicily's classic fresh granita with brioche. I would have lingered longer in there if we had the time. The price was excellent value, perfect for one night stay or more, depending on your needs.

Miinukset: It was great to have coffe/tea making in the room with kettle, however there appeared not to be any milk packets amongst others such as sugar and honey. The other thung that appears common in Sicily is the excessive use of plastic. The cups offered for the hot drinks were styrofoam which is unpleasant to drink from and wasteful. The plastic spoon offered had begun to melt in my tea as I stirred in the sugar. Please offer real cups for coffee/tea and metal spoons and help to not make more waste in your island and country. For some reason we had trouble with the safe in the room. Staff came to help and then it worked. Of course when they left and we tried again, it didn't work. Who knows why. Unlucky. There was no iron in the room but I'm guessing they would find one if needed.

Plussat: A nice little hotel in a quiet location. The most extraordinary feature of this hotel is an excellent breakfast for a mere 3 euro!! Clean and quite spacious room with a big balcony. Comfortable bed. Very helpful and smiling staff. Highly recommended.

Miinukset: that I had to leave so soon ;)

Plussat: Hotel is quite great, location is good. Easy to reach "must see" places. Breakfast is good and staff - willing to help

Miinukset: We had lots of troubles with wifi quality, so hotel is not so suitable for business travelers, who don't have their own internet. Also it is not so convenient, if you want reach beach by foot

Plussat: The property is well located close to the city centre with a secure parking garage - therefore it is great for those travelling with a rental car. The rooms, although a little dated were clean and comfortable with the balcony providing a nice touch in the evenings before heading out for dinner. The reception staff were very helpful!

Miinukset: The breakfast waiting staff looked thoroughly unenthused and were not very forthcoming... it took several attempts to wrestle an espresso out of them! The rooms are basic and felt a little old however all things considered this was a good hotel for the price!

Plussat: Breakfast was great as well as the location.

Miinukset: Change the old carpets.

Plussat: excellent quality and selection. attention to cleanliness and detail by staff

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: Spacious rooms, great breakfast

Miinukset: Noise from the road at night

Plussat: Parking easy and just around the corner. Staff were very nice, very helpful. The bathroom was spotlessly clean. The bar area was comfortable with lots of seating.

Miinukset: The lift was broken for part of our stay, I had an fractures wrist and we struggled to find the right stairs to use. I wasn’t keen on the curtained drapes over the bed.

Plussat: Close to the center

Plussat: Staff was the best. Very friendly and helpful, always smiling

Miinukset: Fitness centre was just a fake. No air condition and threadmill did not work The terrace was a mess, could make more out of it Air condition lived its own life, cold in the mornings even though I turned it off at night Balcony is a joke Ear plugs saved my sleep, city is not quiet at night

Plussat: Location

Plussat: The location of the hotel was central. The rooms were comfortable. The staff were very polite and helpful. The breakfast was very good.

Miinukset: the breakfast is not very complete. no more croissants at 9:30. eggs sunny side up not included. this is this only negative. the rest was excellent and the staff is adorable.

Plussat: The barman/sommelier Antonio, was fantastic. He was quick, attentive and gave great service. He was also very interesting to talk to, and offered excellent advice on places to visit.

Miinukset: I never quite mastered the secrets of the air conditioning. No matter what setting I tried, it seemed to have a mind of its own. We'd be sweating all night long, then when we had finished breakfast and were going out for the day, it would come on of its own accord, to cool down an empty room! Still I guess the maid was comfortable.

Plussat: Room was large, architecture and furniture are beautiful. The staff was very kind. Breakfast was good.

Miinukset: We asked for a silent room and were not assigned one. The toilet was getting stuck, the hotel although right next to the via Etnea and the heart of Catania sits on a quite ugly and dirty street.

Plussat: Good breakfast excellent location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great location, very nice staff

Miinukset: slightly small bathroom

Plussat: The hotel is very beautiful and the rooms are clean and spacious. We enjoyed the friendly staff, the tasty breakfast and the good location in the old city center. We fully recommend this hotel and we will definitely stay here again when we come back to Catania.

Plussat: A central location and a nice building

Miinukset: The staff... Not everyone at the front desk speak English which created problems for us. For example, we called down to get our car and they ordered us a private transport.... When we came down form the room and realized this there was not really a que at the reception ( on guest who took her time - which is no problem for me) but the other girl working there didn't even want to come up and ask if she could help since she clearly did not understand English well enough. When the woman was done the man behind the desk instantly wanted to help an older woman who just came down to reception rather than me; could it be that she had a designer bag and fancy clothes rather than me in my trainers and shorts? (it felt like a "Pretty woman"-moment..!). It was now almost 40 minutes since we should have been on our was out of Catania for an excursion but since we didn't have our car and they keep the keys - we had to wait. When we finally got to talk to someone I weren’t given my key even if I said that I could get the car myself (they just park them further down the street on the side - not so safe considering the small narrow roads..!), but I was not given the key. They insisted to get it. Frustrated and late i followed the guy and when he had unlocked the car I took over and drove off from there. That’s just one of many issues. Your breakfast was another HUGE disappointment! There was nothing. No fresh vegetables at all, some dry bread, yoghurt in packages and coffee from a machine (not a good one either..!). The staff for breakfast seemed to hate people - no smile, no good morning, nothing - unless you were Italian of course..! Then she changed were somewhat polite. The last days we decided to eat breakfast out (even though we had paid for breakfast). I bet for the money you pay here - you can find something much better else were! Then there is one more thing that just seemed mad. They have an amazing roof top terrace - that they don't use!?

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

Miinukset: Huone kaipaisi päivitystä. Kylpyhuoneessa hometta.

Plussat: Big hotel near the city center of Catania. Our welcoming was fine, the room was also fine. It's a short walk into the city center and Catania is a lovely city to explore! The reception helped us with choosing our transport back to the airport.

Miinukset: Before we arrived, we received an e-mail about reviews. I understand the meaning of this e-mail, but to receive it before you even arrive at a hotel, feels a bit strange. It had me doubting whether I should even write a review, but I still did. I think it would be better if the meaning of the e-mail was explained in person, at the reception for example in stead of by e-mail.

Plussat: Perfect location, nice staff

Plussat: The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. They organised a taxi for us and we could go to the airport with no worries.

Miinukset: The breakfast was decent.

Plussat: It was close shops. Staff were very helpful.

Miinukset: Booked this for my parents who are elderly and the step in shower was just a bit difficult for them minor issue. All was good.

Plussat: Staff very helpful Attractive ambience

Miinukset: Breakfast options bad. No good fresh fruit when surrounded by it in the streets outside. Coffee from machine horrible. Scrambled egg and Bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes greasy and tasteless. Did not fix malfumctioning television and blown light bulbs when requested

Plussat: Close proximity to the centre

Miinukset: The organised car to pick me up at the airport did not arrive so I caught a taxi and got ripped off. The hotel apologised but it put a damper on my stay.

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!
