Pros:

Zentrale Lage, aber vor allem nachts recht laute Nachbarschaft. Sehr freundliches Personal an der Rezeption und sehr gute Auswahl beim Frühstück.

Cons:

Eine Kaffeemaachine im Zimmer wäre wünschenswert, außerdem eine Flaache Wasser.

Das Zimmer ging auf die Straße, wo nachts immer wieder Leute sich mit sehr lauter Stimme längere Zeit unterhielten. Schallisolierubg wäre gut.

Great location, so close to the centre of Catania
Pros:

We stayed here for four nights, the hotel is perfectly located so very near to the centre, near to many restaurants tucked away in between the historical Italian buildings. It's an easy flat walk from the hotel to easily explore Catania.

The style of the hotel is very Italian, there is a small gym and a terrace on the roof by the gym. The reception area is light and bright with high ceilings. The reception staff were always polite and helpful. Our bedroom was upgraded, which was very welcomed. A decent sized wardrobe with lots of hanging and storage space, also a safe. The bathroom had a walk in shower and a bidet, with complimentary products - the bathroom was modern, although needed a little TLC.

There was a perfectly adequate selection of breakfast items fruit / yoghurt / cakes / toast / cereals / croissants which most European visitors would welcome. Also a waffle maker and a vegetable juice maker.

A great bar where there was a happy hour between 7.00 / 9.00 pm managed by Antonio who spoke really good English and provided a wonderful selection of snacks with your drink. He is certainly an asset to the hotel staff.

We found the largest, crazy outside market just a stroll from the hotel - well worth a look. Something for everyone. A ten minute walk to the Teatro Metropolitan from the hotel.

No complimentary water in the bedroom - for a 4* hotel this should be included.
