Galbato Holidays from AU$2,445

Not a bad location and good clean rooms. Don’t go if you have any mobility issues

Wonderful location just a few steps from the cathedral. The rooms are simple but very nicely furnished; some with spectacular views from a balcony. The breakfast room on the top floor offers wonderful views (including of Mount Etna) and outside eating. The staff could not be more helpful or nice. There is an elevator, but it is necessary to negotiate some stairs as the levels are split. So enjoyed being right in the heart of the city. Since the windows are all double paned, the noise of the street does not penetrate.

Friendly helpful reception , great amenities and across from the beach Great suite with a pool

My husband and I just want to say thank you to the manager and front desk receptionist for their service helping navigate our situation due to our flight cancellation out of Catania. They went above and beyond and we are very appreciative of their hospitality. The hotel itself is on the older side, but still very nice and within walking distance of the Piazza and all the restaurants.

Overall experience was very good. The suite was unusually decorated, large and clean. It was at the front of the hotel and there was some residual noise from the street. AC was good and housekeeping was efficient. It’s in a good location for Via Etna, Piazza Duomo and other spots and very close to a host of bars and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful when I needed to interact with them. The breakfast buffet was adequate but not in keeping with the style or ‘sense’ of the hotel. The restaurant struggled to keep with the demand of a lot of guests having breakfast at the same time. There was very little information about the services in the hotel. Nothing in the room or advertised around the hotel. The gym was very small.
