I loved the high ceilings and the way the room was decorated. I loved the veranda on room 322. The wall of the tub in the bathroom was too high and not easy to step over. The glass wall protecting the bathroom floor from water spray was too short. The floor of the tub is slick and could lead to falls.

Good and peaceful base for exploring central Catania. No traffic noise as hotel is on a small cul-de-sac. Rooms are large and bathroom in 321 had a full bath. Staff were helpful and friendly. Aircon in our room was not working . Toilet seat had come loose . Bed was large and firm. Overall a decent space . TV was LG and fairly modern. Only had Italian channels.

Unfortunately this hotel has seen better days! Hallway carpets were disgusting/dirty, and the room was not much better. The photos on Hotels.com do not relate to the reality of what is the hotel. On a positive note, the women who checked me into the property was very nice!

The hotel staff were outstanding from start to finish. They handled every question I had with professionalism and clarity, and their calm, courteous manner never faltered, even during busy periods. Travelling for both work and leisure, I genuinely appreciated the consistently high level of service. It made the entire stay smooth, enjoyable, and far more impressive than I expected.

Absolutely stunning location! It was an easy walk to the cable car and a great way to see Isola Bella. There were a few random hairs on the bed when we checked in but it was otherwise spotless. The breakfast was excellent and the rooftop pool was gorgeous!
