Okay to stay one night in great location
Pros:

Breakfast was good, room ok. Location was really good, right in the old town. Easy to access by taxi

Cons:

Especially the ''terrace'' was really filthy. If description mentions terrace I was expecting a terrace of some sort. This one is caged 2 by 2 meter outdoor room with wire mesh to keep the pigeons out.

Sosta di 1 notte per tour della Sicilia
Pros:

Se dovete fare sosta a Catania (noi solo x 1 notte) questa struttura è TOP !
La zona è Ottima, parcheggi ce ne sono sia a pagamento che liberi sia garage nelle vie intorno.
Staff cordiale, preciso, professionale e competente. Camera quadrupla davvero spaziosa, (fresca anche con poca aria condizionata) atmosfera di palazzo storico, soffitti alti e dipinti. Pulizia niente da dire
Buonissima la colazione e gentili le ragazze. Esci dal portone nella via principale, fai 50 mt e sei nel corso storico di Catania.

Cons:

Niente da dire in negativo,.
