For one night stay it was really good place closer to all the tourist attraction.
Pros:

Staff is friendly, Rooms are fairly good size and decorated very nicely. Lobby is small and the dinning area is small. We stayed in one night and the stay is ok. The location is fantastic closer to major touristy area. One night is not enough to explore the touristy areas. I will go back again.

Cons:

What I don't like is when you go out for dinner or to see the touristy place, you have to surrender your room key. When you get back they give the key back to you, The problem is that somebody has to open the main door for you to come in to the hotel. We were out for dinner and we have to wait and the main door for about 20 minutes to get the main door open there were about 3 families waiting out side the door to get in to the hotel. That is the only complaint that I have.

Contesto storico e tanta gentilezza
Pros:

Prima di tutto la grande gentilezza del gestore e della giovane e sorridente signorina addetta alla colazione, che si può fare anche sulla bella terrazza (colazione davvero ottima, dolce e salata e in gran parte fatta in casa!).. ma anche il contesto (un palazzo storico) e la posizione centralissima, a due passi da Via Etnea e da Piazza Duomo. Sono stata molto bene, bravi!

Pros:

Albergo super centrale in una spendida residenza storica.
Stanza ampia e letto comodo.
Staff cordiale e colaizone con ampia scelta.
Carina la terrazza per la colazione.

Cons:

Le mura delle camere sono davvero sottili, si sente qualsiasi rumore.
Anche in corridoio, ad ogni passaggio senti tutto.
Sarebbe stato gradito un amenity kit più provvisto.
