This hotel met my needs exactly. I am a man traveling alone. I wanted to be near the center of town, the Piazza. I wanted a simple room that was clean and had a low price. The hotel was all of these. They did not have breakfast. The staff was helpful. My needs were limited, but this hotel turned out to be a perfect choice.

Best location at budget prices

The hotel is at the best possible location, directly at the Duomo square. As a budget hotel, it meets the typical Italian standards, the room is dated but clean, the bathroom was updated and modern but the shower was very small. There is no elevator but that suits me fine since elevators in buildings like these tend to be clunky, so I avoid them in any case. Breakfast was a voucher to get a hot drink and pastry at the best cafe in the square, which is my favorite way of doing breakfast in Italy, so this worked out great.

Disappointed and disgusted!!

The location was good, close to piazza del duomo the main square, and it was very convenient if using public transportation. This hotel is not a 3 star as stated on the website site, it’s a 2 star. The breakfast was at a bar close to the hotel. It was only a coffee and croissant and not a full breakfast as stated on your web site. There was no safe in the room and the web stated that there was a safe. The bathroom was disgusting, not very clean , dirty tiles, the shower was just a corner with a small shower curtain, the water would overflow the rest of the bathroom. I very disappointed with this hotel , I would never here again.

The hotel is placed very close to Via Etnea: it is, therefore, easy to reach it. The breakfast is not served in the hotel, but you have a ticket for a very close pastry which is very well sorted of sweets and others.

Great location to be in Catania right on the piazza. Great view from our balcony it faced the Cathedral and the Elephant fountain on the piazza. Anyone who travels would like this hotel. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Their English skills were not strong but I didn't find the use of English to be strong in Catania in general; you are in a foreign country people. I enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

I’d rather sleep in the car.

Reception did not speak any form of English. We arrived by car, called ahead to get directions to the hotel parking lot (which we were informed they had) and they said something in Italien and hung up. They don’t have any parking spots. We slept directly on the springs in the madras, the floor was more comfortable. There was mould in the bathroom, the inventory was crappy and looked like it was about to fall apart. A bad hotel, way overpriced.
