I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with a great location right on Via Etnea and close to many restaurants and attractions. The rooms were generally comfortable, but I did notice a lingering smoke smell. The service was excellent, with friendly staff ready to assist. Dining options were nice, but I'd have enjoyed more variety for breakfast. Overall, it’s a solid choice, but the smoke issue was a bit disappointing.

I had a pretty good time at this hotel, located right in the heart of Catania. The rooms were interesting and fairly comfortable, and the staff was really friendly and helpful.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right in the city center and facing a beautiful park, but the noise from the restaurant below made it hard to get a good night's sleep.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at this hotel. While the location was fantastic, right in the heart of Catania with great dining options nearby, the noise from the courtyard was quite disruptive at night. The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Unfortunately, the room comfort was let down by the noise levels and this was somewhat disappointing. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay if you're planning to explore the area, but don’t expect a quiet retreat.
