Convenient hotel, centrally located
Pros:

Convenient hotel, centrally located (right next to the bus station/area), clean and next to many coffee places. There is a laundry mat just a 2 minute walk yo the street (very convenient for travellers).

Location was okay. Bed was okay

Pros:

The location of the hotel is excellent. The Interbus is just about a 2-minute walk away, so it’s easy to get to other spots around Sicily. It’s also convenient for traveling to the airport by bus.

Cons:

Breakfast offers a limited selection, but the food available was still fine. The quilt they provide is not comfortable for sleeping.

Nice hotel i Catania
Pros:

The hotel is located near the main train and bus station. It is about a 20-minute walk to the city center. Unfortunately, the neighborhood where the hotel is located is not among the cleanest and most fragrant. The hotel is nice, well-equipped. The staff is nice, helpful, especially the boss, who is nice and always smiling. The breakfasts are mostly sweet, lots of fruit, the salted option is weak. But even for four nights it is possible to find breakfast options so that they do not seem boring. Overall, I highly recommend the hotel, we will definitely come back.

Prisvärt och trevligt!
Pros:

Läget nära centralstationen och även nära till de centrala delarna av staden. Väldigt trevlig personal och vi fick mycket hjälp av Danilo med bland annat bussutflykt upp till Etna som var mycket prisvärd. Effektiv AC på rummet och små trevliga balkonger. Dubbla dörrar till balkongerna så man hörde i princip inget av den livliga trafiken utanför.

Cons:

Lite hårda kuddar och väldigt fast säng om man nu inte gillar det, som jag. :-)

Great stay, would recommend
Pros:

Very friendly staff, small and cute hotel, very original interior design inside the hotel. The room was clean, the AC works perfectly. Good location, 15 minute walk to the city centre and 3 minute to the main bus and train station.

Cons:

A wide variety to choose from for breakfast, but 80% is sweet. Since I don’t like sweets, I could only eat a sandwich and hard boiled eggs :) but for those sweet tooths- you have cakes, croissants, biscuits, juice, fruit…

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay! The hotel was very clean, cozy, and comfortable. It was a nice touch that toiletries were provided in the room. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We especially appreciated their restaurant recommendations, we visited two of the places they suggested, and both were absolutely fantastic. The breakfast was also very good, especially by Italian standards. Everything was fresh and tasty. We would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

None

I needed a room for the night near the station. It did the trick.
Pros:

Breakfast was good. Location was a little seedy given the proximity to the railway station. But i wanted something close to the station.

Pros:

מלון נקי ומסודר, צמוד לתחנת הרכבת ומסוף האוטובוסים. המלון מתוחזק הייטב, צוות חברותי וארוחת בוקר טובה. בסך הכל, בחישוב של עלות מול מה אתה מקבל, זו עיסקה טובה.
