Friendly helpful staff!
Pros:

The staff were great. Friendly. Welcoming. Helpful. I was feeling nauseous after a rough plane landing and they were all very sweet to me when we checked in and again the next morning.
Rooms were spacious and clean. Bed comfortable. Breakfast had a larger selection of items than I expected. Appreciated the fresh whole seasonal fruit. Coffee was good and there were a few types of tea to choose from.
Liked the access system all electronic so no worrying about who has the key.

Cons:

Nothing. All good.

Great hospitality in a central and spotlessly clean hotel
Pros:

What an amazing find in Catania! I loved staying at this wonderful hotel - from the welcome I received upon arrival right up to checkout, I really felt at home. There are 100s of options in Catania and I honestly think Hotel Trieste might be the best (I don't understand the 1* rating as my room was big, had everything I needed and was spotlessly clean).
The location is fantastic-central, safe and within easy walking distance to the areas of interest in Catania and the bus/train station. Don't be put off by any fears of noise - I stayed over a weekend and it wasn't noisy in the rooms at all.
Breakfast was excellent and served with a smile and a chat!
I loved that the hotel recommended local restaurants each within a few minutes' walk - they were all excellent.
One of the stand out features of the hotel was the staff: always there to help with queries (even helping with booking tours) and always with a smile and a chat. Thanks especially to Lorenzo, Alessia and Marco who are wonderful ambassadors for the hotel and for Sicilian hospitality.
I'd have no hesitation in recommending Hotel Trieste to anyone and look forward to staying there again!

Cons:

Nothing. It was all perfect!

Stayed 9 nights in the single occupancy room, at this property in the historic center of Catania.
Pros:

Excellent location - walking distance to almost all the attractions; many restaurants and bars close by; around the corner is the Bellini Theatre and piazza: a 5 minute walk to Piazza del Duomo, University of Catania (founded in 1434), Fish Market and Via Etnea (main historic boulevard and shopping street). Very friendly and extremely helpful owner, his two sons and the staff. The covered stone terrace is a beautifully decorated outdoor space for the hotel guests to enjoy. Room - excellent cleanliness, very comfortable bed, mini fridge, kettle and tea bags, air conditioner and a spacious bathroom. Plenty of choices for breakfast - fresh fruits, yogurt and a variety of sweet and savory foods. Considering that I stayed in the single occupancy room which does not have a balcony, I still highly recommend staying here, if you are a solo traveller.

Pros:

The hotel is in a great location. Close to everything but not directly in it. It's about a 15 minute walk to the bus and train station. The staff was welcoming! The history of the building is super interesting. I also liked getting the surprise gift when we checked out.

nights if you don’t want to spend a lot of money.
Pros:

Great location, friendly staff w/ great local recommendations. Terrific value. Great breakfast. Wonderful staff. They ran out of croissants one morning and made sure we had our favorites the next!

Cons:

Very “bare bones”. Make sure you have your own soap and shampoo. Only one flat pillow but the bed was comfortable. If you are looking a lobby and amenities, this is not for you.

6 nights in Catania
Pros:

The staff at this hotel are exceptional. Very welcoming and helpful. As a solo female traveller I found this a great place to stay. The beds are really comfortable and the bathroom facilities were absolutely fine. The wifi worked well and the breakfast was very good, including fresh fruit which is a bonus. I liked the location as it was minutes from all the main sites and just a 10 minute walk from the railway station. I would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

Nothing

Ótima opção para turistar
Pros:

Excelente localização, funcionários/prpoprietários extremamente gentis, café da manhã bom, quarto confortável, banho bom. Acho até que o booking poderia subdividir as classificações. Não dou nota máxima porque o comparo com outros estabelecimentos mais confortáveis (e caros), em que fiquei hospedado com expectativa diferente (tipo viagem romântica ou de negócios). O Trieste, dentro do que se propõe, porém, merece nota maior que a que dei.

Cons:

Dividi o quarto quádruplo - minha irmã ficou na cama de casal. A cama em que dormi não tinha tomada nem interruptor próximo. Como uso smart watch, tablet, celular e fones de ouvido, além de ser míope, gostar de ler antes de dormir e habitualmente acordar durante a noite, pode parecer frescura, mas faz bastante diferença.
