“The central location on Via Etnea makes it easy to explore Catania's historic sites, and the fact that it's the only 3-star hotel in the area could be a real advantage. I think the unique terrace with garden views offers a relaxing retreat, balancing the urban setting. Although the pool access comes at an extra charge, the well-maintained area seems to me a nice bonus for downtime.”

Just OK. Not what I expected.
noisy fanpoor breakfast
I really dislike the bathroom. There was hardly space to put toiletries. The exhaust fan was super noisy and it seems I couldnt turn on the light without making that noise. the breakfast was just poor. No hot options were available, and there werent even vegetables.
