All of the staff were so welcoming and helpful. Communication was superb from well before we arrived. We were able to store two suitcases for 5 days while we toured Sicily which made our medium sized hire car more manageable for 4 people. Thank you Antoine who assisted so kindly. The charming gentleman on reception in the evening gave us a great suggestion for a nearby family run seafood restaurant and he was nice to talk to (English) when we took the E25 shuttle to the airport. The breakfast was amazing with eggs, toast, ham, cheese, cereals, cappuccino or latte. Many thanks especially to the lovely girl in the breakfast room -so kind and welcoming. The room was absolutely beautiful in traditional style, high ceilings and gorgeous patterned tile floor.

Unfortunately our room was above a bar in a laneway that played loud music on a Thursday night until midnight. The shower didn’t have a screen at front so water spilled over the floor.

We had lots of space with two adjoining rooms a bathroom and a balcony. The receptionist that greeted us was great and so helpful. We were right in the heart of the city near good restaurants. The building was lovely and I was grateful for the quaint but serviceable lift. Artwork was lovely and gave the place an upmarket vibe.

Well, this was no fault of the hotel but we were very close to the city centre park where late night concerts were taking place so the noise was overwhelming till midnight. Also, there was a battle of chairs in the breakfast room and although breakfast stopped at 10am we were down quite a bit before then and most of the items were already used up and were not replenished.

Excellent location in the heart of Catania, close to Villa Benini and the main shopping street. The staff were incredibly friendly and communicative, making the stay even more pleasant. The breakfast was outstanding, offering everything you could need. The rooms were spotless, and the hotel's Renaissance-style interior was both stylish and comfortable, adding a unique charm. I particularly loved that the rooms had unique names instead of numbers – a delightful touch!

We were a group of 4 in 2 rooms. The rooms were clean & comfortable, with lovely shower rooms. The property was in a Baroque building very conveniently located just off Via Etnea and the junction of Giardino Bellini, within a short stroll down to the Duomo Piazza. There was an excellent choice of breakfast, which was eaten outside on a pretty terrace. Anton on reception, a lovely man, was there to check us in and gave us informative and invaluable information at the time and thereafter. Thank you Anton! We enjoyed our stay very much.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore the area. The staff were amazing, especially Antoine, who went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was a nice start to the day. The only small issue was a leaking shower head, but it didn't take away from the overall great experience. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!

The staff was fantastic. The place was always clean. We broke a lamp and they did not fuss about it (we paid a reasonable price for the damage as it was our fault). The reception gave us great recommendations about local restaurants. We had a mistake when we changed the date(booked on the wrong year), and the management identified our problem and pointed it out for us fix.

There was nothing we didn't like. Everything met our expectations.

The location was fantastic. In the centre, a short walk from the Bellini gardens and round the corner from some great bars and restaurants.

Not a real negative but the hotel does not have a reception on street level. You have to ring a bell and go up to the first floor. Not a big deal but it's good to know when you're looking for the place. Breakfast was basic.

The property is historical which I love. The room was huge with a modern bathroom. The breakfast in a quiet garden area was continental style but the best was the amazing coffee and the lovely lady who made each order. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was very good for sightseeing and had a fantastic street of restaurants only steps away - a fun area in the evenings.

There was some street noise from nearby restaurants which didn’t bother us but may be unpleasant for lighter sleepers.

Pleasant old style building. Wifi and hot water fine. Fridge totally silent all the time (a first!). Slightly faded room but perfectly acceptable. Didn't try breakfast. Handy for lots of restaurants and bars

Street not too noisy despite being a main thoroughfare. However a street cleaning vehicle can turn up at 0430.

Breakfast was good. I wanted eggs and meat, which is probably not common in Italy, but this hotel got enough choices. Also the caciocavallo cheese was a nice addition. My room was spacious, the corridors have nice paintings to look at. Staff is very friendly, I could get as much espressos for and after breakfast as I wanted. All in all it was comfortable enough, and very clean.

The floor has no carpets, so it's cold to walk on without slippers. Spring mattresses could be more comfy but are good enough. I couldn't get hot water in the shower at around midnight, which would have been very appreciated, since this is when I was able to arrive. With the room being big enough, same cannot be said about the wardrobes. It would be hard for more than 2 people to put their stuff away. I booked 2 rooms, the other one was a single room, around 4e cheaper, but was way smaller and contained a double bed, so even for a single person it covered a lot of space and my friend couldn't comfortably put away stuff and move around the room at the same time.
