The good news is the location is excellent...
However, everything else about this hotel was NOT!
We were booked into this hotel by EScape Travel for an independent hiking trip for 16 days. Unfortunately we had to stay here for 2 days at the beginning and 2 days at the end of our trip.
Upon checking in we let the management know we were unhappy with one of the worst rooms we've ever seen in Europe. We overlooked an alley, room was small, dingy, poorly lit. They promised us a different room when we returned (and showed it to us) which we were happy to accept when we returned.
When we returned however, they gave us another room just like the 1st one!
It was the only place in Italy that not only was the breakfast meager, at best, they limited you to 1 cup of coffee and 1 croissant!!!
Their rules stated that breakfast was served at 8 AM but other arrangements could be made. When we had a plane to catch we asked for breakfast at 7:30 but the attendant would not prepare our 1 cup of allotted cappuccino...As well as he was extremely rude!
Our advice, do not stay here!!!!!!

Room tip: Go elsewhere!

Dear guests,
thank you very much for your review. We really care about your feedback.
Our hotel has been open for 17 years and we have been accomodating about 3000 satisfied guests each year, all of them travelling around Europe, that's why we are actually surprised to read that your stay didn't meet your expectations expecially with regards of room size and its conforts.
Reading about our breakfast we would like to pointing that we do have breakfast buffet( tea and coffee, croissant, yougurt, juice, cakes, bread, cheese, jam and butter).
However we are very sorry about the delay of your breakfast your last day and we would like to ensure you that we are investigating about the customer service practices. Regards

Hotel near historic duomo in Catania. Lots of restaurants around. Nice room, quiet, it was on the interior court side. Staff friendly and helpful. On the minus side, no parking on the premise, you have to find one on the street, not easy...breakfast could be better and the free coffee provided is a disaster, tasted like Nescafé what a shame for Italy!

This hotel was booked for my girlfriend and me through a sicilian tour service, and it is just perfect in every way. It's an old-style pensione with old, quaint, big rooms that have an extraordinary view of the Basilica across the street which is just something to die for. The staff are all kind, highly educated and sophisticated men and women who work very very hard to make sure that your stay is Pleasant. The rooms have high ceilings and an old-world feel and the bathrooms have plenty of hot water and fine facilities. If you need a five-star luxury hotel, this is not your place, but if you want to be in the Heart of the City and near all the historical attractions and restaurants and right next to the most important Promenade in all of Catania then this is a great place to stay for a fantastic price. I speak Italian well enough to get by, but the staff certainly can speak enough English to help those who cannot speak Italian, and the Italian style breakfast is fresh and the coffee is good. If you are looking for Old World charm and want to feel the Heart of the City of Catania and its kind and wonderful people, so this is a fantastic place to stay. My perspective is as a professor who is traveling to his ancient Homeland in order to learn more about his people and his culture, and for me and my companion this was just perfect.

Right off the main piazza in Catania, making it very convenient for excursions. A bit of a climb to their main level, but walking is what you do as a tourist.
They had a nice morning layout for breakfast, including fresh coffee in all forms. The staff is very attentive and friendly. They took care of extra details for us without complaint.

The location is very central with lots of shops nearby. The room was very basic and the Wifi was very good. We had a bit of a shock when we arrived when we saw the entrance! Lots of stairs with no lift!
