“Eric Hason”

Clean and well located hotel. Upon arrival my car was valet parked in the hotel garage. The staff at the front desk was very helpful and extremely pleasant. When the shift changed they communicated our needs to the next shift so that fulfilling our requests were seamless. Breakfast is served in an lovely dining room. I highly recommend this hotel!

“'Best hotel we stayed at in Italy'”

We stayed at Katane Palace for 5 nights. Classic case of "don't judge a book by it's cover', when we pulled up outside I was a bit dissappointed. However when we stepped inside it was a gem! Beautiful marble floors through the hotel and our bathrooms, a lovely courtyard, overall,the whole place was very pleasant to be in. The staff were always helpful and spoke english very well, gave us maps and direction to where ever we wanted to go. I found the beds a bit hard but thats a personel thing, they were of a high standard. The room was a good size and had a balcony', soft drink in the mini bar were complementry. Breakfast was of very high standard. Drinks and food was a bit expensive but there are plenty of restaurants and food outlets in easy walking distance. Easy walking distance to the bus station.

“A Great Stay”

My husband and I went to Catania as part of our honeymoon. The Katane Palace is a hidden jewel in Catania main centre. Only a few minutes walk from the buses and train station it is close to everything. The room was wonderful, the bathroom lovely and the staff courteous and helpful with guides and maps. The buffet breakfast and hotel restaurant were high quality and we ate very well - we felt very looked after and would stay there again. The only thing I could advise is to take your own pillows if you don't sleep well when they're flat and hard!! Otherwise a fantastic stay.

Getting around
Getting around from Catania can be difficult if you don't know the bus and train timetables - if you want to travel further, eg Siracusa, make sure you find out in advance the times if you can or you can wait over an hour for the train or bus. The locals aren't necessarily helpful, so do the best you can. Public transport can be unreliable and the taxi drivers will try and charge triple what the trip is actually worth. Beware trying to cross the road - the drivers don't slow down unless they are forced to and ignore the crossings, you have to watch every step you take and keep your wits about you.
Must see
Pay a visit to Taormina - it's as beautiful as Capri on the coast of Sicily (about a 45 minute train ride), with lovely restaurants and boutique shopping. Only beware when you arrive - to walk to the town from the train station (Taormina Giardini) it is a 3km walk uphill. Take a taxi if you're not up for it, but it's definitely worth the trip.

“Delighted with our stay”

The Katana Palace looked very inviting in the website photos, and it turned out to be even better in person. We visited Catania at both the beginning and the end of a two-week vacation Sicily, and we stayed in two different rooms - both were spacious, comfortable, clean and VERY quiet. Breakfast in the pretty courtyard, scented with jasmine, was a delightful start to the day - I especially enjoyed the fresh-squeezed orange juice. The hotel provides Wi-Fi for a small fee, and there is also a computer (available for use with no charge) in one of the public rooms on the ground floor, so it was easy and convenient to check email every day. We ate dinner one night in the hotel's restaurant and throughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend the Katane Palace and would definitely stay there again.

Area recommendations
Catania is a modern city and not quite as appealing to toursists as other Sicilian towns like Siracusa, Noto, Ragusa and Taormina, but it has its charms - the view of the Duomo at night is lovely, and the streets around the Duomo are peppered with gorgeous Baroque churches. We especially enjoyed a guided tour of the Benedictine Monastery near St Nicolo church - the monastery now houses the modern languages department of Catania University, and it is fascinating to see how the building has evolved over the decades, in response to lava flows, earthquakes, etc.
