E' un albergo comodo, in ottima posizione. Lo staff è eccellente, le stanze ampie e luminose.
Pros:

La struttura è in un palazzo d'epoca, di charme. La zona è centrale, anche se non sulle strade principali, e molto comoda. Le stanze sono ampie e luminose, complessivamente piacevoli. Lo consiglio.

Cons:

La colazione è molto buona ma semplice. Forse qualche alternativa in più non guasterebbe. Comunque i prodotti freschi sono di buona qualità ed anche il caffè era buono.

Piacevole soggiorno a Catania
Pros:

Hotel comodissimo in pieno centro, a due passi dal Duomo. Le camere sono molto belle, spaziose e pulite, e la colazione è ricca e abbondante.
Il personale si distingue per la grande gentilezza e accoglienza. In particolare Fulvia alla reception è stata estremamente disponibile e professionale nel suggerire le principali attrazioni e alcune piccole chicche della città e dei dintorni da visitare.
Un ringraziamento speciale anche a Santo, che mi ha aiutato a scegliere la camera perfetta! Senza dimenticare Ezio e Fabio a colazione, che ogni mattina accolgono gli ospiti con il sorriso.
Grazie a tutti per aver reso il mio soggiorno a Catania ancora più piacevole! 😊

Hotel cerca de todo
Pros:

El hotel tiene una ubicación en pleno centro. Un edificio antiguo pero bien equipado y decorado. El personal muy atento y amable. El desayuno muy bien aunque se puede mejorar.

Cons:

El plato de ducha y la mampara. Es muy pequeño y antiguo. La mampara apenas se puede abrir, y cuesta bastante trabajo. Una pena porque la habitación está muy bien y le falla el baño.
