Un viaje en el tiempo.....
Pros:

La puerta tridimensional que tras cruzarla te traslada a la Sicilia de 1950. Es como el hotel de un parque temático, todo antiguo pero muy cuidado. El ascensor, las lamparas, la decoración del salón y recepción, la TV, los interruptores de la luz, el telefonillo de la entrada... La ubicación es perfecta.

Cons:

La cama, posiblemente sin haberse cambiado desde su inauguración allá por los años 50 y el desayuno.

Pros:

Posizione perfetta, avevamo un concerto in villa Bellini e ci siamo andati direttamente a piedi, in centro e vicino alle fermate dell’autobus che ti portano direttamente in stazione, camera pulita e staff super accogliente

An excellent location with wonderful staff—I’d happily stay here again.
Pros:

The location is absolutely fantastic—within walking distance of many of Catania’s main attractions, restaurants, and cafés. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and available 24/7, which made me feel very safe as a solo traveler. The included Italian breakfast was a lovely way to start each morning, and having elevator access was a huge plus. Overall, it was a comfortable and charming place to stay.

Cons:

The only drawback was the Wi-Fi, which wasn’t reliable enough for remote work or large uploads. However, if you’re a digital nomad, there’s an excellent coworking space with fiber internet within walking distance, so it wasn’t a major issue for me.

Pros:

Hotel molto accogliente situato vicino a Villa Bellini. Molto comodo per la vicinanza alla fermata della metropolitana Stesicoro e su via Etnea c'è la fermata dell'Alibus che permette un ottimo collegamento con l'aeroporto. Colazione ottima con prodotti dolci e salati e staff molto cordiale e disponibile.

Pros:

A localização é otima! Muitos bares e restaurantes proximos, uma feirinha, muito perto do ponto do onibus que cai e volta do aeroporto. Muitas lojas de marca bem perto do hotel. O cafe da manha é razoavel, tem pao de forma, croissant, leite, cafe, Manteiga, queijo, Salame, geleia.

Cons:

Hotel muito antigo, mas tudo na Catania é antigo. O banheiro tem um tamanho normal, porem, box mal da para tomar banho, é bem pequeno, sou pequena e mal conseguia me virar dentro do box. O quarto nao tem iluminacao natural.
