Catania hotellit lähellä Stesicoro

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: 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: B&B in city center, Clean

Miinukset: From the room you have to cross the kitchen to reach the bathroom which is not equipped with a shower. Absent bosses but present cat. Windows with no curtains and neighbors looked inside. Absolutely obsolete cushion

Plussat: Lorenza and her son were very helpful and welcoming. They gave us a lot of local tips. The apartment is very charming and tastefully furnished. It is conveniently located in the heart of Catania, close to the bus stop and all the restaurants and bars. Our room was very spacious; it included a living area in addition to the sleeping area, and had a small balcony and a private bathroom. It was clean and neat. We had a great stay and highly recommend it.

Plussat: Arty decoration , middle of the centre

Miinukset: Many stairs . Sleeping area half floor up and little warm in summer

Plussat: The room is large and you do not have to share the bathroom with other tenants. The host is friendly. Although her English is entry-level，it is OK to communicate and more importantly，she is keen to offer any help that you need. The breakfast is amazing，rich food and relaxing music.

Miinukset: The site is not easy to be found and the information of the level was not given in advance. As a result， we found the house with the help of an attendant in a restraunt nearby.

Plussat: Perky design style wonderful hostess great location very welcoming

Plussat: Great location.

Miinukset: it was nearly perfect

Plussat: Bellini is an excellent stay. We had some problems to find the place and you have to climb 4 stairs, but once you are in, it is a charming place in an excellent location.

Plussat: Lorenza is very care-taking. She is fully dedicated to make your catania experience a great one. If you need a transfer from/to the airport she has a great network to consult. For light-sleepers I recommend bringing earplugs as the apartment is located in the heart of the city :) Breakfast was very good.

Plussat: The room is proper Italian style. Just stunning. The bed was so comfy it is hard to get out of it. Quaint wee balcony. Lorenza was wonderful. We were welcomed early (11.45am).

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great location. Friendly, clean, comfortable

Plussat: Very helpful staff (organizing taxi, reference to trattoria, ...), nice room, super central

Miinukset: Reception (and hotel) is two stairs high...

Plussat: Nice spacious room with confy bed. Exactly in the city center.

Miinukset: Since is exactly in the city center, the room we’ve been staying was facing the street. A lot of noise form outside but in the night after 12 was calming down.

Plussat: Close to the fish market and outdoor market.

Miinukset: The noise. There was construction happening right outside our room. Very noisy. Also music was playing until late into the night. There are plenty of other places to stay in Catania, I'd try one of them instead.

Plussat: Staff were lovely, very central great for an overnight stay.

Miinukset: So dirty in the ally, on the entrance to the building.

Plussat: The room was clean and the location is really central. The bus stop for the Alibus to the airport is very closed. The hotel is directly near to the roman amphitheater.

Miinukset: The piazza Stesicoro is really loud in the first hours of the day due to the cleaning of the street: you can hear the garden vacuum and the road sweeper at 5:30 a.m. The quality of the breakfast is very poor but the cappuccino is fine.

Plussat: Clean, big rooms, comfy big bed, very central location

Plussat: The location was great, from there you can walk to the main attractions. The breakfast is included (was ok). It’s clean and the room is quite big.

Miinukset: There is no elevator and no one is helping with the luggage. When we arrived the first evening, the welcome was very cold, he almost didn’t even say hi. It’s impossible to sleep without earplug!! If it’s not the other guests, it’s the noise outside or even noises of water. There was an old water bottle and almost empty in the fridge...

Plussat: The location of the hotel was perfect, right in the heart of Catania I thought with it being on a main road that it would be noisy at night, it was very quiet. The room seemed newly refurbished, so clean and modern.

Plussat: Very good location, close to all landmarks. Lovely host with great customer service skills. Advised us where to park the car and we didn’t need it for our 2 day stay. Nice breakfast.

Miinukset: Noise from the street cleaners could be a struggle for light sleepers but for us that was expected as you are staying in city center.

Plussat: Location is great - in the centre and on Alibus way to the airport.

Miinukset: All good, nothing to complain about.

Plussat: Everything is good

Plussat: good location and helpful staff

Miinukset: not applicable

Plussat: Very nice, especially the large patio

Miinukset: The property is showing its age, damaged carpets, a little worn

Plussat: Hyvä vuode, lähellä keskustaa ja maittava aamiainen

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: The noise of traffic and constant dog barking

Plussat: Clean

Miinukset: The shower head needs fixing. Most of the water squirts sideways. Very difficult when washing your hair.

Plussat: Ability to charge our phones and use their computer.

Miinukset: We were given a room with a view of the air conditioning system and a wall. Staff were not sympathetic to our situation as we had been robbed earlier of all our luggage. The lady reception was rude and unfriendly.

Plussat: We had an emergency stopover as missed a flight and received a good night sleep, met by pleasant receptionist. Can’t complain

Miinukset: Bit of a walk into centre

Plussat: Nothing. Only reason we stayed there because they had a parking .

Miinukset: İt is old and need renovation inside and out. It was just ugly. No plastic bag for laundry or bath slippers in the room. We had to wear our shoes to step on ugly old carpet. They said supposed to have free water in the room but there wasn’t any in our room. Only reason we stayed there because had a parking spot for us which we needed that.

Plussat: Hotelli sijaitsee erinomaisella paikalla Catanian keskustassa pääkatu Via Etnean varrella. Lentokenttäbussi kulkee aivan hotellin vierestä, ja myös matka hotellilta rautatieasemalle on kohtuullinen. Hotelli sijaitsee vanhassa talossa, ja sen huoneet ovat suuria, korkeita ja tunnelmallisia. Henkilökunta oli avuliasta ja paikalla vuorokauden ympäri. Hotellin hinta oli hyvin kohtuullinen.

Miinukset: Hotelliin tullaan sisään hieman rähjäisen porttikongin kautta, ja myös ensivaikutelma itse hotellista on hieman synkkä ja kolkko. Pian kuitenkin paljastuu, että hotelli on aivan siisti, toimiva ja tunnelmaltaan persoonallinen. Ilmastointilaite hajosi huoneessamme yön aikana, ilmeisesti oikosulun vuoksi, koska kuului kova pamaus ja nousi savua. Tätä ei henkilökunnan mukaan ollut tapahtunut 10 vuoteen, joten tuskin tapahtuu vähään aikaan jatkossakaan.

Plussat: Classic old style hotel, well maintained. Staff were very friendly and helpful for us in planning our stay in Catania and our trip to Mt Etna. Domenico was a perfect host and catered to our every need.

Miinukset: This was by far the worst place in our two-weeks holiday in Sicily. We only stayed for a night, but we soon knew it has been a wrong decision, even more considering the expensive room price. We never felt comfortable at this pension: the place was dark, everything looked as it has not been renovated (at least) in the last fifty years, we were insisted several times not to pay with credit card, and had then no warm water in the morning. And as we complaint, the man at the reception told us it was impossible... without even bothering to check. We could not believe that this 3-star hotel (you better call it a motel or a pension) had an average evaluation of 8.8 points. There must be a something wrong. But then, after going home, we got a slimy email from the reception telling us to evaluate it with, at least (!), 4 stars not to lower the average. In all my years traveling around Europe no hotel and nobody had ever dared to tell me how many points to give them. A bad experience and a total loss of money.

Plussat: The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean. I would whole-heartedly recommend the Hotel Etnea 316 to anyone thinking of visiting Carania. Also, take the guided tour that Marco does, it was terrific.

Miinukset: The shower is small. Like barely large enough to be usable small. However, this is Europe, and it's to be expected.

Plussat: Amazing place. Perfect localization !! Very tasty breakfast and the best coffe in my life. Stuff was amazing !! Marco is the best person in Catania !! Grazie Hotel Etnea !!

Plussat: The staff were very helpful and the location was very good.

Miinukset: Breakfast was very poor. A kettle in the room would have been appreciated. The bathroom was very small and not enough room to have a proper shower.

Plussat: Good location on the main street near the Alibus stop. Good breakfast.

Miinukset: A guy on the reception said me to pay by cash because my card "can't be used for pay", but after I said that I will pay only by card he make a couple of clicks and payment was done. Another staff was very friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Good location, quick walk into the old town. We parked our car at Lumbi and got the free shuttle bus and then it was a short walk from the bus stop. Pietro the host was very friendly. Breakfast was decent. Would stay again.

Plussat: Location very good. Staff friendly. Room spacious.

Miinukset: 2 flights of stairs to reach hotel entrance. Our room faced the main road and was very noisy.

Plussat: Very kind staff. Very good breakfast. Big room with balcony to the streets

Plussat: Lovely quiet hotel with very spacious rooms. The air conditioning worked well and our room was very quiet. Location was also excellent and very easy to get to from the airport. Marco was superbly helpful and as a result of his suggestions I changed part of my trip to Sicily.

Plussat: Very friendly and relaxed. Spacious rooms high ceilings. Balcony.

Miinukset: Road noise but we were so, so central and at the front.
