Just landed in Sicily, I had a bit of medical condition. The staff were super helpful to arrange the doctor, translate and help me get my meds. The experience made me truly feel welcomed and I gotta have such a wonderful start to the trip thanks to their kindness and hospitality.

Great hotel. Efficient check in, spotless room with plenty of toiletries and towels etc. Hotel in a great location between historical areas and lovely parks; bars and restaurants. Special mention to breakfast team, who were lovely each day and always on the go.
Catania’s a vibrant place and this hotel really enhanced our trip.

Love the very convenient location right in the middle of Via Etnea, walking distances to most of the major attractions. Front Office is warm and very helpful in providing us with information and map upon checking in. Room was great and very comfortable. We were an hour early for check-in, and the room we booked wasn't available then. Instead, we got a surprise to be able to check-in into a bigger room. Breakfast is fabulous with lots of choices. Highly recommended.
The property is right opposite the Rinascente departmental store. Before careful if you are claiming VAT refund. My tax refund of over 200 euros was disallowed as the tax refund form prepared by them deliberately omitted the last digit of my passport number.

The location of the hotel is great - right on the hottest street of Catania downtown.
The front desk staffs are very polite and friendly, especially the lady on duty on the day when we checked in (2 Jan 23). She introduced everything to us and led us to the room personally!
I love this hotel, would definitely recommend it to all tourists.
