"Oversized room with a jacuzzi, however, the system leaked and water seeped into adjacent room. No 24 hour staff, so, you need to be in communication. We left before staff arrived and left the key on the hook with other keys so no security beyond the cameras. The location was ideal as was the price."

"The hotel was beautiful and the staff were all pleasant and super helpful. There are a number of good restaurants nearby and the main sites are well within walking distance. The room was exceptionally beautiful and spacious with top class linens. "

"The receptionist was a bit cross when we arrived - I had said our ETA was 18.30 to 18.45, we arrived at 18.55 (I realise that reception closes at 19.00 and we were a bit later than anticipated, but we had had a tiring journey, and at least we arrived 5 mins before reception closed!!). A different person was on reception on checking out who wasn't very warm. "

"Il Principe is one of the best located hotels in Catania, close to all the main sights and easy walking distance to Square, Monastery, Fish Market etc. The Staff were exceptionally helpful . The reception area's, and Breakfast room had plenty of space and nicely decorated with marble. 2 person lift to all floors. The hotel had somewhere for the luggage on our last day. There was alway someone on reception. The area was quiet and felt safe. Breakfast had a good variety, hot scrambled eggs or boiled, bacon, mushrooms. Cold ham and cheese, yogurts, cereals, croissants. Fruit juice and coffee. The room was a good size and double aspect. Our room had a shower, which was adequate but could have done with updating. Bed was large but a little firmer than we are used to. Towels, hairdryer etc provided. Air conditioning was excellent. Unfortunately there was no kettle or coffee maker in the room, although there was a fridge and safe. I don't think we could have got a hotel that was in a better spot, ideal to pop back to in the day for a rest."

"The room was very comfortable and spacious. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we had a great time. It’s very close to the Piazza Duomo and easy to visit the city center. I would recommend it and book it again if I return to Catania."

"Staff very friendly. Clean, functional, quiet, comfortable. Amazing breakfast. Parking was perfect!! "

"Didn’t realize it was on a very busy party street with special event music keeping us awake till very late…can’t recommend it because of the noise levels from the streets."

"Owners were reasonably available for an establishment without a regular paid staff; communication easy and good. Shared bathroom was sparkling clean and usually/reasonably available for the 5 rooms using it. Delicious breakfast options available. Restaurants, convenience stores, and a vital gelato place were within a very short walk; prices very reasonable and service good. Key tourist sites were within a few minutes walk. The neighborhood is/was declining, is noisy and busy with local activity, but it felt safe and was interesting. A delightful break from soulless glitz and high cost tourist traps. I travel to see and meet people, experience local life--5 Balconi beautifully supported my goals. Also, quick and easy taxi access from and to the airport and other destinations. Clients when I was there ranged from a young couple from New Zealand, a mature couple from the Netherlands, a mid-40s business couple, and late-70s me from the US. Thanks and best regards to Christina, Rob, and Tini!"
