I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were super comfortable and located next to the restaurant and stunning roof terrace, which was amazing. I opted for a standard room, which I found even nicer than the superior suite above. The service was top-notch with excellent English speakers like Faycal in the restaurant going above and beyond to make my experience memorable. The hotel's location was surprisingly beautiful, close to Via Etnea, the historic heart of the city. The dining experience was typical continental but could use improvement. Overall, a great value for money with wonderful facilities.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms boasted a lovely four-poster bed and were very clean, elegantly decorated, and surprisingly spacious for a European hotel. The high-tech amenities like electronic curtain closers were a nice touch. The indoor terrace provided a charming view of the street, port, and sea. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff going out of their way to assist me, even finding a battery charger. The location was superb, within walking distance of Catania's main attractions and surrounded by great dining and shopping options. The dining experience on the rooftop was a highlight with delicious food and stunning views. The facilities were top-notch, and overall, it was a wonderful stay.

My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms were very clean and had a small balcony, which was a nice touch, along with a good bathroom. However, the room rates were on the higher side and didn't quite match the value received. On the bright side, the hotel had amazing decor with authentic and beautiful paintings on the ceiling.

Wow. This hotel is a real gem in Catania. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a Royal style with 4-poster king-size beds, giving a charming antique-like feel. However, they could really use some renovation as some areas needed maintenance, but overall it didn't spoil an otherwise good stay.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms are a little on the dark side with a deep color scheme, they do come with a terrace adding a nice touch.
