Superb location for sightseeing a few minutes walk from Via Etna, actually street was a bit scruffy, though that’s a thing in Catania. The breakfast was really good with a nice selection and lovely lady doing the coffee and replenishing supplies. The roof terrace was gorgeous at sunset. But our room was run down and the bathroom was mouldy and the bsthroom floor was constantly drenched, even when we arrived and hadn’t touched a tap.

With a bit of more maintenance.....

Staff very helpful and professional. The structure lacks of regular maintenance, high level of humidity and some stains here and there. Lovely small rooftop usable more in Spring and Summer though. Possibility of parking the car providing you book the slot in advance. Very central.

Great place to stay

Very central. Nice and clean inside (do not judge the first glance outside!) Great staff (e.g. Massimo on reception was so professional, friendly, helpful, breakfast service on saturday, July 23rd. She was so friendly, fast, professional, baked great fresh stuff). Beautiful breakfast on top balcony. Rooms were ok. One of the them next to reception a little loud sometimes as -e.g. - next door neighbours got home at two a.m. in the morning and took shower till 3 a.m.. Hotel is environmental friendly. Separates garbage, user renewable energy, not much plastic. Hotel is most recommandable. We will be back!

Det gør jeg aldrig igen

personalet var ok, morgenmaden var fin. Værelset var elendigt, allerede da vi kommer ind på gangen er der en lugt af gammel surt gulvtæppe, da vi åbner døren til værelset er der hed varmt, og lugten af endnu værre. Da vi ser ud på badeværelset er der noget der ligner skimmelsvamp omkring badekarret. Afløbet i badekarret var klamt og ulækkert. Aircondition larmede voldsomt og der var meget larm fra gaderne

Title: Serious Safety Hazard — Avoid Until Fixed! I stayed here and discovered there were no clear fire exits, blocked emergency stairs full of building materials, and no evacuation plan in the room. When the power went out, we were trapped with no clear escape route and no help from staff. This hotel is a fire hazard and unsafe. I reported it to the local fire brigade and the city. Until they fix these basic safety violations, I strongly recommend you stay elsewhere for your own safety. Titolo: Grave rischio sicurezza — Da evitare finché non sarà messo a norma! Ho soggiornato in questo hotel e ho scoperto che non ci sono uscite di emergenza ben segnalate, le scale antincendio erano ostruite da materiali da costruzione e nella camera non c’era alcun piano di evacuazione. Quando è mancata la corrente, siamo rimasti bloccati senza una via di fuga chiara e senza assistenza adeguata dal personale. Questo hotel è un pericolo per la sicurezza. Ho segnalato tutto ai Vigili del Fuoco e al Comune. Finché non saranno risolte queste gravi violazioni di sicurezza, consiglio vivamente di scegliere un’altra struttura per la propria sicurezza.
This is what we encountered on the unsignposted stairs on the only way out of our floor other than the lift. It was unlit.
As above, unsignposted, unlit stairs. The only exit from our floor to safety.

Le gros point positif c'est la situation. L'hôtel se trouve dans le centre historique. Tout se fait à pied. De plus il y a une belle terrasse d'où l'on prend le petit déjeuner qui est bien. Autre point non négligeable, le parking situé dans la cour intérieure de l'hôtel. Par contre la propreté n'est pas au rendez-vous. Des papiers qui traînent des clients d'avant dans la salle de bain. Les joints de la baignoire qui sont noirs. Ça ne donne pas envie. De plus l'insonorisation est inexistante. De 6h30 du matin, on a été réveillé par le déplacement de meubles. Certainement l'installation de la salle de service du petit déjeuner. Ça a duré tellement longtemps que ce ne peut pas venir d'une autre chambre. Quand on arrive devant la porte d'entrée de l'hôtel, on ne reconnaît pas du tout la photo vue sur le site de réservation. C'est tellement laid qu'on est surpris.
