Art & Jazz Hotel

Excellent location - short 5 minute walk from the central train station in Catania. Quirky decor. Large clean room and excellent bathroom. Excellent breakfast and lovely helpful staff. Great value for money. Wish we could have stayed longer.

An absolutely superb hotel, quirky, clean and comfortable. Lovely friendly staff, always on hand. One of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in. Super room, comfortable bed, fabulous shower room, beautiful breakfast room and a good choice of food and drink at breakfast. All the little extra touches added to our enjoyment of our stay. The pristinely clean room, the sweets, toiletries, and much more. The floating umbrellas, the art & jazz artwork outside (amazing!) …. we really didn’t want to leave. The hotel isn’t in the best streets of Catania, although it’s so handy for the station. However we loved walking around the streets in the morning before we left. We found a fabulous place to eat about 5 minute’s walk away in the evening, Moschettieri, a real typically Sicilian place with delicious home cooked food. We’d go back to The Art & Jazz Hotel in a heartbeat.

Only okay. Very convenient for the train station which is why we booked it but it is in quite a dirty side street and about 20 min to the city centre. Breakfast was pretty disappointing in that no toaster, no cold milk for cereal (yes, I got it when asked for it) but the overall selection was poor. The rooms are on a split level which I was ignorant about and I just didn't like that; felt unsafe in that you could tumble down the stairs any time and it was all stone, wood and metal. Bedroom area was a okay size as was the bathroom. If staying in Catania again but look elsewhere.

We stayed in Catania for one night as part of a very quick trip to Sicily and the city really did nothing for me, but this hotel was great and the star of our stay. We had a very friendly welcome and had a room on the top floor with bedroom upstairs. It felt very grand having a downstairs and upstairs to our room. It was very quiet and we were not disturbed by anything. The mini-bar was stocked and the prices were very reasonable so, for once, we had something from the mini-bar! The towels and bedding all smelt lovely and the bed was very comfortable. We very much enjoyed our breakfast and were well looked after by the member on staff who was on duty. The hotel is well located for the train and bus station, plus it isn’t too far to walk from the centre of the city. It is unlikely that we shall ever visit Catania again but, if we were to go again, we would definitely choose to stay here.

Arriving at Catania airport at 1am, we took a taxi and were greeted with a smile at the 24hr reception and shown to our room... split level with a double bed on the 'ground' floor and another on the gallery. Lovely bathroom, sparklingly clean and simply but pleasantly furnished, this visit was topped off by a free breakfast and an 11:00 checkout. Wouldn't hesitate to return and have already recommend it to friends!

This is more a depressing "factory" unit divided up into rooms and nothing like 99% of "HOTELS". It is located in a run-down area close to the railway station, but too far from the excellent centre of Catania. We arrived for six nights, but left immediately. The rooms seem to have two floors, with the bed up another set of stairs. Are other reviews genuine? Also stayed in "EXCELLENT" proper hotels in Rome, Messina and Palermo for a total of six mights. Moved to Centrum Hotel, an excellent hotel close to the Bellini Theatre.

Lovely room and great service, we arrived early so had to go and explore so the lady in reception took our bags to the room. She made sure I was ok as had a knee splint on. Good location and only a few minutes from Bellini square. Lovely murals on the walls and comfortable bed

5 minutes away from the train station and bus station. The room is nice and clean. The staff is helping you with all, great ideas about what you can visite in the city, where you can enjoy a drink, arancini, granita in the bar or a good diner in the restaurant. The breakfast is also ok ( maybe for me like a vegetarian I will prefer next time more fruits and a vegan milk). The room is clean and cozy, in the bathroom is all you need. I will returne here for sure. Please inform the time of your arrival if not you can call to the phone number the property. Maybe will be nice to enter in the hotel with a entrance key(cop card).
