Catania is a very busy city so this hotel met our needs of being where the action was.
Pros:

this hotel is in a really good spot and we were lucky to have parking right at the hotel.

Cons:

The air conditioner was not on. We opened the windows but I did feel comfortable with that.

Personale, posizione e prima colazione buone. Camera e bagno inadeguati a un 4 stelle
Pros:

La posizione è davvero ottima per visitare tutta la parte centrale di Catania.
Inoltre l’hotel pur essendo in pieno centro è molto tranquillo, senza rumori stradali o altri.

Cons:

Il bagno della nostra camera è tra i più piccoli che abbia mia trovato. Impossibile entrare in due e anche da solo lo spazio tra il lavandino e i servizi è a dir poco minimo. Certamente non in bagno che dovrebbe avere un 4 stelle.

Bon emplacement
Pros:

L’emplacement

Cons:

Un peu vétuste - un rafraîchissement serait nécessaire (les joints de la salle de bain sont en piteux état)

Mériterait par ailleurs un bouilloire pour en chambre pour café et thé
