Excellent stay in Catania
Pros:

The location is excellent for visiting the old city and main avenue.
Oscar and the staff went out of their way to be helpful even with the parking of our car which was on premises for a nominal amount.
Breakfeast on the roof terrace was a plus.
Very quiet at night until 7AM when normal city noise could be heard
Very good hot shower and great linen and towels

Cons:

The rooms have been repurposed from an earlier layout so they are quite oversized and need some renovation.
WiFi worked only while inside the room
Not recommended if you have physical limitations as you have to climb 2 floors of stairs.

Wir fanden das Hotel sehr gemütlich und charmant und das Personal war super freundlich.
Pros:

Das Familienzimmer war sehr groß und geräumig. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und immer hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war sehr umfangreich und es ist herrlich, dieses oben auf der Terasse einzunehmen.
Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr zentral; das ist schön, um direkt in der Stadt zu sein, aber natürlich ist die Umgebung dann auch entsprechend lebhaft am Abend.

Cons:

Die Dusche ist etwas laut für diejenigen, die im Zimmer weiter schlafen möchten.
Ansonsten waren wir sehr zufrieden.

Besoin de rénovation
Pros:

L’emplacement est parfait, la propreté, le petit déjeuner

Cons:

Manque d’insonorisation des fenêtres. On entend beaucoup le passage des voitures dans la rue.
Un peu vieillot

Old-fashioned charm
Pros:

The rooftop terrace was lovely - great to be in the city centre & have all that sunshine on you, plus great views. Characterful old building.

Great value and location
Pros:

Very centrally located hotel 3 minutes walk to Piazza Duomo and directly opposite the Alibus airport bus stop. Helpful and welcoming staff. Large, functional, bright and clean bedroom/bathroom. Good breakfast buffet, proper cappuccino and lovely rooftop area with tables.

Cons:

The only slight downside to be aware of is the hotel is on one of the upper floors of a historic palazzo so a lot of stairs to climb on entry/exit. But keep going - it's worth it when you get there!

Palazzo-Atmosphäre und Frühstück über den Dächern der Altstadt von Catania
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt mitten in der Altstadt, nicht weit vom Dom und befindet sich im obersten Stock eines großen Palazzo. Unser Zimmer war schlicht, aber sehr geräumig. Wie in der Innenstadt von Catania nicht anders zu erwarten, kann man wegen des Lärms nicht ohne weiteres bei offenem Fenster schlafen, aber das wird durch die gute Lage ausgeglichen.
Der ganz große Trumpf des Hotels ist die Frühstücksterrasse über den Dächern der Altstadt mit Blick zum Meer. Das Frühstück bietet für italienisch Verhältnisse eine recht große Auswahl, wenn auch auf qualitativ eher bescheidenem Niveau.
Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Parkmöglichkeit im Hof für 10 Euro.
Wir waren schon vor 2 Jahren in diesem Hotel und kommen gern auch ein weiteres Mal.

Cons:

Die Ausstattung der Zimmer ist recht karg, das WLAN extrem instabil.
