Good for one night.
Pros:

Close to the airport, with late check-in available.

Cons:

Part of the hotel was under renovation, breakfast was not included in the room price, and there was an unpleasant smell in the room. It definitely does not deserve five stars.

A solid visit with some minor improvements that could be made. Would stay here again.
Pros:

The room itself was amazing and the hotel was secluded so you didn't hear the street traffic. The restaurant in the hotel was absolutely amazing and had incredible choices for dinner. Thank you for an amazing last night in Italy!

Cons:

I will say, it looked like they were updating the rooms and we were put in a room where we had to go through some of the construction that was going on which was a little off putting, but nothing too catastrophic to the stay. Additionally, I requested a shuttle to pick us up from the train station when we arrived to Catania and then take us to the airport when we left and we were quoted 45 euros, and was charged 50 euros (not too dramatic, but still a discrepancy). Additionally, I requested a shuttle take us to the airport at 6:20AM and received confirmation that this was possible, but we didn't end up leaving the hotel until around 6:50AM. We still had plenty of time before our flight.

Hotel spełnia oczekiwania, blisko na plażę , do centrum tylko 3km.
Pros:

Bardzo dobre śniadania, na słono i na słodko. Typowo po włosku. Nie serwują takich śniadań jak w hotelach w Polsce, ale nie ma się do czego przyczepić, jeśli ma się tego świadomość. Piękny widok na Etnę z restauracji serwującej śniadania, teren wokół hotelu duży, dużo krzesełek, fotelików i leżaków do siedzenia, bardzo ładny wystrój hotelu w stylu arabskim (kilka miejsc zamkniętych) Byliśmy poza sezonem, w lutym, więc było trochę za zimno na kąpiel w basenie. Blisko do plaży (po drugiej stronie ulicy). Plaża zaśmiecona , tak jak cała Catania, ale to może po tym huraganie Harry, który uderzył w Sycylię. Pokoje sprzątane codziennie, codziennie wymieniane ręczniki i ścielone łóżka.

Cons:

Na pewno nie jest to hotel 5-gwiazdkowy biorąc pod uwagę wyposażenie i wystrój pokoju. Czasy świetności ma już za sobą. W pokoju stare meble. W łazience zatykały się umywalka i wanna, zepsute pokrętło w wannie do otwierania i zamykania korka. Mieliśmy pokój na parterze z patio, ale z widokiem na krzaki, ale to tylko drobna niedogodność, bo przecież nie spędza się czasu w pokoju. Klimatyzacja stara, chyba do końca nie działała, ale nam to nie przeszkadzało, było w miarę ciepło, więc nie robiłam rabanu.

Dove sono le 5 stelle?
Pros:

Il personale è molto gentile, in particolare le signore delle pulizie.

Cons:

Di 5 stelle non ha nulla. È una struttura abbandonata, vecchia, impolverata, senza nulla che sia lussuoso. Ho preso una superior che era uguale ad una standard, tranne che per la vasca.
La vasca comunque perde continuamente e ci sono perfino le formiche… no come 5 stelle non ci siamo! Non ha nulla a che fare col lusso. Forse sarà il periodo dell’anno, spero lo sistemino per l’estate
