"Roberta was the best hostess we have ever had during a travel stay. The property was new and well stocked with everything we needed (water, coffee, tea, glasses, cups, bottle opener to name a few). Great personal care items and comfortable bedding. The best however besides Roberta’s charming and welcoming personality was the spectacular breakfast she made to order!

Top University Palace Hotel Reviews

Il Principe Hotel

8/10 Good

"A warm welcome from the amazingly helpful Roberta. Upgraded to a suite - v comfortable, excellent bed, and once I turned off the intrusive a/c a good night's sleep. Great breakfast, excellent coffee. A wonderful location too -- right where you want to be, and excellenr, affordable restos nearby. Just 15-20 mins from airport and amazingly helpful, thoughtful front desk. Don't rush off from the airport - spend a couple of days here getting to know Catania first."

Di Prima Albergo Diffuso.

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, great location, breakfast was good. Great value for money."

Etna Suite

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was friendly and helpful. They communicated with us before our arrival and were very pleasant during our visit. The location is great, on the main street in a pedestrian area. The rooms were quiet and comfortable. Major sites, restaurants, and other attractions easily walkable and safe."

Palace Catania | UNA Esperienze

10/10 Excellent

"Hôtel très bien situé à Catane. Le petit déjeuner est délicieux."

Liodoro Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Very easy check in and check out - super responsive host! The room was much bigger than expected and very clean. The location is amazing, you can’t be more central than that! We will come back for sure."

Palazzo Marletta Luxury House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Все было супер. Мы обязательно вернемся в этот отель в следующем году"

Duomo Suites & Spa

8/10 Good

"Wonderful location just a few steps from the cathedral. The rooms are simple but very nicely furnished; some with spectacular views from a balcony. The breakfast room on the top floor offers wonderful views (including of Mount Etna) and outside eating. The staff could not be more helpful or nice. There is an elevator, but it is necessary to negotiate some stairs as the levels are split. So enjoyed being right in the heart of the city. Since the windows are all double paned, the noise of the street does not penetrate."

B&B Domenico Florio Palace

10/10 Excellent

"The caretaker was wonderful and so friendly. When our arrival was highly disrupted by Etna spewing ash causing our flight to be diverted to Trapani causing us to arrive at 6am instead of 10pm, he was very welcoming and reassuring throughout the process. The rooms as comfortable and could be made quite dark, cool and quiet to enable us to sleep even if it was from 6am-12pm or going to bed closer to dinner time (8pm) than night time. The location is also unbeatable for walking access to lots of different areas (both the city central and less touristy spots. I would absolutely stay here again. The only reasons I don’t give this place 10/10 is the bed was not the most comfortable (but still comfortable enough) and the shower was a bit tight."
