Pros:

La suite est magnifique, le decor du plafond notamment. Le mobilier, le paravent sont magnifiques

Cons:

La cabine thalasso de douche: on voit qu'elle n'est pas recente et beaucoup de calcaire sur les buses et pas tres propre sous les portes. Dommage

Good place to stay when looking to explore middle of Catania
Pros:

Good for last minute booking, friendly staff and right in middle of Catania. Nice breakfast on a terrace

Cons:

A bit hard to find on a dodgy looking side street, not the best value for money but once you get inside it’s nice

Pros:

The staff were wonderful, very kind and accommodating. The rooms were immaculate.

Cons:

Using the lifts was not optimal as they were very slow. The hallways were very hot with no cooling system throughout...the carpet needs changing. These are esthetics. I like the hotel.

Good Location
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location and everything is near, except the main train station but it is not that critical. The interior is old-school but i had a charm to it. The staff is very friendly so Kudos to them, especially the lady when we had breakfast Stefania, she was so nice and friendly with us and that is exceptional.

Cons:

It was nice, but we expected our room to have a third bed not a sofa bed and the lightning needs to be improved it was very dark in the room, and be a bit more specious.

Very pleasant stay
Pros:

The location, staff, and breakfast (especially the service provided by Stefania) were truly exceptional!

Cons:

The air conditioning in the room was not very effective, perhaps owing to the fact that it was 35 C outdoors.
