The hotel is a bit far from the airport and downtown Catania. However, with rental car, I think this hotel is a better choice for the values: it is a 4-star hotel with free buffet breakfast, self parking, and many other amenities. The staff is very friendly and helpful. For that reason, I booked twice President Park Hotel, 3-day and 2-day stays separately. I would recommend this hotel to travelers having access to cars.

Very nice, great room, but smoky.

The hotel was great overall. The customer service was good. Our only complaint is that our room smelled like strong cigarettes. It was as if someone was smoking while cleaning. Towels, tissue paper, and pillow cases all as if we were breathing in ashtray. Aside from that, the view was great and the pool nice (minus an adult man that kept spitting in the pool!) The staff was fabulous. The breakfast was amazing and dinner very good. It was nice to get up and away from the tiny Italian streets.

Nice hotel, out of season so maybe that’s why it was a bit dead. No pool bar, when we ordered drinks via QR code nobody came. Beds quite uncomfortable and definitely need a car if staying at this hotel

It's a nice place if you want to get away from it all for a while and focus on work or just take in the scenery. I don't recommend long stays. 3 to 4 days tops will do. I do wish there were more excursion options. Management may want to consider teaming up with Airbnb experience service providers. The food is hit or miss and really depends on who is working that day. Services are a bit overpriced. The staff is friendly but could work on their follow-up, especially with email replies and guest requests. It would also be nice if there were some planned activities for guests such as live music, game nights, exercise classes etc since the hotel isn't really close to much. Definitely recommend renting a car is you want to get around and see more of the town.

Do not recommend

When check in after the flight to Catania got disrupted, we arrived after 5 hours by bus. The lady in the reception did not welcome us, she was talking in the phone the whole check in, where there aslo was 10 children runing around screaming at night. The breakfast was a waste. Nothing to eat but cake. The eggs was grey and watery, the bread was dry and the chairs were dirty. The hotel has a bus that takes you in to the city, witch is nice! But when we were waiting for the bus to pick us up, to go back to the hotel- it had forgoten about us. We had to call the hotel and ask them to please pick us up. After one hour the bus came:) The room is not isolated, we could hear people breathing outside. It wasnt allowed to bring any food or drinks to the room. Only having one single market down the road, with the bare minimum. The lady working there was brilliant and sweet, thats the only good thing we can say about that. The employees are were nice and helpfull!

We stayed here the night befor flying back to the US. The hotel was clean, staff was friendly, and they had a bar open during the day, as well as a dining room for dinner, and our rate included breakfast (although we had to skip breakfast to catch our early flight.) Only took about 30 minutes to Catania airport. Good alternative to staying in Catania.

Value for money!

Positives - huge room very comfortable bed and lovely balcony over looking the pool and sea Staff - especially Marco and Francesco in reception and Lili the pool attendant - all were lovely, helpful and smiley. One grumpy barman. Value for money!! Negatives - breakfast in the basement…the food was decent, but the location was not! Fluorescent lights .. when they have a beautiful roof deck which is set up for functions and I believe they use for private parties… there are many other reviews which say the same thing and it was so true … Our rooms were cleaned and beds made etc but our cups were left full of old tea for 2 days and nothing re stocked. Plus major .. NO coffee… how can you come to Sicily and not get a coffee in your room. I asked housekeeping and she just said they didn’t have any!!! Were there for a local wedding so had more important things to deal with. So didn’t have chance to complain!
