Hotels in Catania

Amazing as usually! I stayed there more than 20 times and always happy. Reception team is friendliest ever, Antonella very cute. Room was amazing even had sunbed on balcony

The service was up to par. The toilet was substandard, the floor was slippery, and the room facilities were old. The yogurt at breakfast was in a bucket, not a cup! Omelettes were available for an additional fee.

The room was decent, clean, and tidy. It's close to the sea with a private access path, though it's not a sandy beach. The grilled fish and pasta for dinner were good, prepared in a Mediterranean style with olive oil and salt, and quite tasty.

The room photos do not reflect reality; in fact, the reality is worse. We were given a room with carpets that had a bad odor, which made the entire room smell unpleasant. The furniture was old, and the bathroom looked like it was from the '90s. Overall, we were disappointed, especially considering the high price for such a room. On the other hand, the public areas of the hotel looked quite good, and...

Very convenient place. Clean and friendly staffs. Highly recommend.

Hotel is in a nice location, staff was very helpful. We got a room that was not renovated but even though the furniture was worn out everything was clean. Part of the hotel has been renovated so you can insist on newer rooms with better furniture. Balconies are small but the view is nice. The promenade that leads to the city is excellent.

Clean, not a bad breakfast, twenty minutes walk to the sights.

Staying here as a transit point to Syracuse and Taormina, the hotel is conveniently located near various attractions and shopping streets, though a bit far from the train station. There's a bus stop right outside, but you need to buy your tickets in advance at the tobacco shop. There's also a convenient airport bus stop where you can buy tickets on board. The front desk staff were very friendly, welcoming...

It is recommended not to come to this city, the streets are dirty and the hotel rooms are the only clean places in the city. The room was very big and it was the only 4-star hotel I stayed in Italy that provided disposable slippers, and they were of very good quality. I stayed in 16 4-star hotels in Italy in one month. The heating was just not enough, it was only 11 degrees at night in early April...

Friendly staff, adequate breakfast, room a bit small with wardrobe not easily accessible

The hotel does not have free parking, and you need to pay to park in a nearby commercial parking lot. The description of the Ctrip booking that there is a parking lot is misleading.

Good hotel with excellent price

Good position, well equipped, excellent breakfast, friendly staff

Outstanding location in heart of the old town, with most destinations walkable. High standard of furnishing and cleanliness. Quick ride to airport. All staff were friendly, professional, and helpful. Good buffet breakfast.

Wonderful place to stay in Catania! Great city center location, minutes by walking to all points of interest and eateries. Hotel staff are very kind, and helpful. They will assist you if you want to take an excursion or provide you for food recommendations. Highly rated!

When you visit Sicily in August, you expect heat—and you’re prepared for it. But when you book a hotel with air conditioning, you expect your room to be a place to cool off and rest. Palace Catania UNA Esperienze struggled to provide that. We booked a Prestige Double Room with View. That evening, our room never dropped below 24.3°C (76°F). The hotel controls the A/C centrally and said rooms aren’t...

This is a review for the rooftop bar/restaurant. We have not stayed at the hotel. We saw a sign for the rooftop bar on the street and got curios. The hotel reception staff were very helpful and showed us the way up. What an amazing place we had discovered! A truly beautiful terrace with the most amazing views over the city and mountains Etna in the background. It was lunchtime and not very busy which...

Our room at Palace Catania offered a peaceful and quiet environment with no disturbances during our entire stay. The receptionist was exceptionally professional, courteous, and consistently went above and beyond to accommodate our needs—no request was ever too much trouble. The room itself was spacious, thoughtfully equipped with all necessary amenities, and maintained to the highest standards of...

Nice and large room. Free shuttle service to the Catania airport

Clean and spacious. Comfortable beds. Good restaurant on site. Only thing amiss was my body shampoo was empty and it was late in the evening. I didn’t want to ask for more at that time of night. Shuttle from airport was very easy and convenient.

Very convenient to airport with a free shuttle!  We would definitely stay there again

This is a wonderful location to stay a night before an early morning flight to the airport. The stay was wonderful too. The hotel has a big pool to relax and the grounds are kept neat. The room had a view of Mount Etna and it was thrilling to see the Mountain during Sunrise. The staff were friendly and receptive. Rooms were large with a big clean bed and linens. Bathroom was more than average...

We stay here every year the night before our flight. The staff are extremely helpful, the restaurant food and service is exceptional. Of course the location is perfect.

Woww, the best hotel room I have ever had!! Big spacious and clean. I loved it and I’d stay there again. The free shuttlebus service is awesome as well. They also have an empty garage if you are coming with a car 😍

The host is extremely helpful. We were in a terrible situation where our booked accomodation got cancelled due to some issues and this property's host welcomed us even late at night. Cheap price and very near to beach. Beautiful location. Rooms are basic, do not expect any luxury. Great location if you have a late night or an early morning flight.

Not all the bungalows are next to the beach. Most aren't. They are old, there's holes on the bath tiles and doors covered by stickers. Everything is from 90s or 80s. The AC works great. Beds are mid. The fridge in the room was super loud. There's planes. If you don't like the sound of planes over your head, don't book. It's right next to the beach. Beach chairs 5€/day. I chose a blanket. There's easy...

I will definitely go back. Practically on the sea. The beautiful beach a few meters from the bungalow. Excellent cleaning. Friendly and pleasant staff. Large green spaces. Restaurant and tobacconist. Nearby there are restaurants, bars and a Lidl reachable in a few minutes by car. Bus stop for Catania center right at the entrance of the structure. Airport 5 minutes away.

The houses are made of cardboard, very noisy from airplanes!

I was in this village at the beginning of December, a quiet place, clean village, beautiful room, friendly staff Stunning sea view I recommend it to you

Something fabulous. Bungalows right on the beach. A wonderful sunrise. Beautiful view of Etna. Clean tidy. A very nice employee - a great person. The breakfast was modest but the coffee was delicious. 12 minutes to the airport. Open 24 hours. I am very satisfied. This place probably benefits in the summer, during the season. Nice infrastructure. Cottages in a wooded area, sandy beach, parking, 24-hour...

Great hotel! Antonio, the bar manager makes the best Negroni cocktails! Our group had so much fun in the bar lounge area and Antonio was very professional and accommodating.

The hotel is a good choice for a short stay. The room is large, the bed is comfortable, service staff is friendly. The downside is that, even the hotel is located in a convenient location, it's too close to some run-down neighborhoods. I suggest the hotel staff provide guidance to the guests on areas to avoid.

Antonio, the bar manager,  was fantastic!!!!!  Made excellent recommendations for cocktails.

Our stay in Catania was great. The hotel manager went above and beyond helping us on multiple occasions. The area and views from the hotel were less than scenic but a short walk away was the dining, shopping, and historic areas. It was a little unnerving to find the hotel lobby door was locked on the inside so we could not exit without the desk clerk and his key when leaving early.

Nice stay in modern very clean rooms. First floor room 016 was very quiet and spacious. No extra seating though. Breakfast is very good. Sicilian pastries and good italian coffees. Self service American coffee for those that miss the weaker variety. Antonio and Frederica were extremely helpful and attentive hosts. Heard about rougher areas nearby but feels safe if you stay in the touristy parts...

Booked this room for one night for my children arriving to join a family vacation. Area is riddled with prostitutes. No parking. Unsafe to walk in evenings as single females. Very basic room. Clean. Air conditioning. Would suggest you research other locations especially if you wish to stay longer than a quick overnight.

The staffs are very nice and friendly, breakfast is awesome. Would like to stay again.

Great hotel and well situated. The staff were very helpful.

Easy to move between connecting gates, as well safe and accomdating.

Pleasantly surprised by the hotel. The room was very big (albeit a bit outdated), ACs worked well, large balcony, water dispenser in reception to fill bottles, very large selection of food during the breakfast. What’s more, the hotel gave me gluten free goodies during the breakfast which were sealed to reduce risk of contamination. Staff were nice and even gave my son a colouring book.

The property is conveniently located, easy walking distance to areas of interest. Its about a 30 min walk to the train station. Room is clean and light, staff are really helpful.

Good location for getting a feel of the city during what was a very brief visit. Room was spacious and staff were friendly.

A very beautiful hotel, with lovingly chosen interior elements. It was a pleasure to return to a beautiful, cozy room after a day of traveling. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Beautiful tableware was served at breakfast. Hot dishes can be ordered for an additional fee. The room was warm and quiet. Situated on a quiet street, all the sights are within walking distance. The train station and...

Very friendly service and atmosphere, the decoration is extremely pretty with old fashioned Sicilian style, it’s a great experience to live in this hotel

Fantastic staff -- Silvio and Marcus, along with several others at the front desk were amazingly helpful. Nice spacious and clean room, with nice design details. The hotel is a short walk to the historical center (3-5 minutes) and a short walk and one-stop metro ride to the train and bus station. Great breakfast and amazing bread! I would stay here again if I visit Catania in the future. Highly recommend...

Totally recommended. Good location, close to everything. Front desk and everybody working there, really kind and friendly. Really clean and the breakfast was amazing.

Excellent and friendly service from all the staff. Centrally located within easy walk of town centre. Reasonable parking - both street via pay and display or hotel parking over the road for €20 per 24 hrs. All in all an excellent choice for Catania.

An interesting historic building, nice room, good location, and SUPERB staff. Couldn’t do enough for us!

The breakfast and view was very nice, appreciated the Gym, but it closed too early for evening use. The site is quite large and feels a bit like a maze to navigate to the breakfast area. Service was very good, but parking is pay per night. You can park at back of the hotel for free on the road...Rooms seem a little outdated, at least the one I was in, but overall really good.

I’ll highly recommend who come here and this hotel’s service is very good and cozy

As a 5-star hotel, it's a bit dated and needs updating. The breakfast buffet is plentiful, varied, and delicious. Friendly staff.

Rustic decor is impressive. Gound is outstanding. Facilities a bit dated. Very convenient for airport.

The door of the room is unique and big enough. The service is nice. It is close to the airport and train station. It is the best choice for a one-day trip to Catania via Taormina. The breakfast is also very good.

Beautiful hotel, cared for in every detail. Clean and quiet rooms.

Near to STM. Very convenient. Car park EUR8 per night. Open car park.

Service equivalent to other hotels in this category but hotel needs renovation small double room with private bathroom

the rooms are a bit outdates, curtains are dirty and I booked a room with seaviews but I could see the tiniest bit of sea. Overall ok, beds comfortable, nice staff but overpriced.

We arrived around 9pm and were leaving at 4am so it was really just a place to stay. The shower would not drain so my partner took it apart and fixed it which was disgusting. The room was hot and never cooled off. We were too tired to move to a different room plus we knew it would be complicated since their computers were down. We didn’t use or see any of the amenities.

Not a great start as we had an interconnecting room and both our door and the one next to us were not locked. Someone was already occupying the room next door. Always checked the doors are locked if you have an interconnecting room! Front desk staff were helpful.

Nice hotel. Rooms were nice, roomy balcony. Only slight negative was hotel situated a bit far out from the centre. Although there is a bus stop directly outside there were few buses and no indication of a timetable so you cant rely on a bus and taxi's very expensive

We had a wonderful stay at San Max Hotel. The location is excellent, very convenient for exploring Catania and close to everything you might need. The staff were extremely kind and welcoming – truly professional and helpful at all times. Everything was spotlessly clean – the rooms, the common areas, absolutely everything. The hotel is also very quiet and peaceful, which made our stay even more comfortable...

The hotel is very clean. The breakfast is good and the bed was comfortable. The staff is very friendly and they get out of their way to help you out and make you feel at home.

Excellent location few minutes walk from central. If you come from airport the bus stop is near. Room are enormous. Breakfast is ok. Loved to stay here

Stay Details. I visited Catania during the last days of September with my husband, and spent two nights in the hotel. I understand that during this time, it is not a high season, but I must say that I saw several turists in the city and the weather was quite good (sunny, but not so hot). Location. The hotel is located in Via Etnea, a wide street, full of shops and tourists. It is not exactly in the...

The reception staff were really helpful. In fact they were brilliant. Free tea,coffee and water was always available from near reception. The room was a little dated, the air con wasn't working properly, but it did slightly cool the room. Some of the electrical sockets are burnt and need to be renewed. Breakfast was ok but nothing special. Prepacked cheese in Italy when Italy has some of the best cheeses...

After 9 nights in a villa in Palermo, we booked one night here before our morning flight home. The rooms were a little larger than you might expect with all the standard provisions. Thge reception staff were very nice and welcoming. The location is good - turn righ out of the hotel and you soon hit the main drag in Catania with all the shops, bars, restaurants and little off-shots you need. Overall...

For a three Star hotel it's OK to review 7

The location is great, right across from Savia, easy to get anywhere, I arrived at 12:30am and they waited for me without any extra charge

Clean and hygienic, located in the city center, convenient transportation, and cheap breakfast.

Location: Ideal for exploring Catania! Right next to the Chiosco della Musica, 5 minutes’ walk from Piazza Stesicoro and about 10 minutes from Piazza del Duomo. Surrounded by great restaurants and attractions. It’s also just a 20-minute walk from Catania Centrale train station if you prefer walking instead of taking a bus or taxi. Staff: The receptionists were exceptional — kind, friendly, and always...

No parking on property and if you leave the car on The street it may get robbed or hit. The stairs were small and the carpet look very dirty. Although the property states they have a a shuttle to the airport the reality is that they do not have one, they just simple ask people to take the public bus that stops 1 1/2. Lock from there. Very noisy since it is relight next to bars and restaurants so if...

I like quirky, bijou hotels. This one was perfect. It isn't hard to find on Google Maps, but it does hide behind a big, (to some perhaps uninviting) street door where you buzz for access. Walk down the passage and take the stairs to lift. The hotel is on the first and second floor of the building. Once through the door, you enter another world. The receptionists Simone & Anastasia speak several languages...

Nice, quiet appartments at a very good location. The district is very interesting, near the city market, with plenty of choices regarding food and drinks. Everything is at walking distance. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, available whenever needed. Grazie! Hopefully will visit again in the future!

Everything was perfect: breakfast both Italian and international, in the city centre, all the most important places to be visited are near there, the owners are Kind and helpful with any request! comfortable room and super clean! The best in Catania

Amazing experience in the heart of Catania! Everything is perfect: from the varied breakfast, both Italian and international, to the rooms all decorated with care and clean. An antique building that is accompanied by the explanation of the owners and the delights indications that make like to the maximum the experience. Bonus: the large and sunny terrace

Giulia and Paolo are so hospitable! very sweet people who are always offering help. I mean it when i say that you don't have this service in some 5 star hotels. Rooms are more beautiful than in the pictures and very clean! that is really important to us, and every morning a lovely breakfast. We hope to come back to this lovely place where we had a great time 🫶🏼

Charming and comfortable. Very helpful in every respect. Too many stairs to climb. A bit difficult to find.

I arrived in Catania after a long series of flights from the US. I was greeted by Paolo who insisted on carrying my luggage up to my top floor room. After I was settled, he walked me around the neighborhood pointing out his favorite restaurants and told me about some of the attractions in Catania. He and his wife were not only gracious hosts but they made me feel at home away from home. Grazie, Paolo

I was very confident with my stay here 👍🏻I do recommend 😊

The location was great, but check-in was limited to 6pm and there were no staff there after that. However, the staff were helpful and told us where the bus stop was to get to the airport.

Very pleased with the staff and the room. The location is close to the old center and and main attractions

I loved staying here!!! The view was amazing( Etna on right) and the room was clean and welcoming. I felt like royalty staying here.Thanks to the amazing personnel , who were always nice and respectful, i had an amazing stay. Definitely coming back!!!

CLEANLINESS and friendliness in the city center maximum centrality .... at a good price in the pedestrian and shopping area. Reception open until 20.00 Large and bright rooms. Plumbing service could be improved. Parking agreement 400 meters away (20 € per night). Market near the hotel (250 m).

Scanning passports is not permitted in the EU! Upon arrival, they wanted to scan the passport, which is prohibited under the European General Data Protection Regulation. Italian registration law does not require a photo! The landlord must, of course, check the passport, document the number and name, and the date of birth. There is no right to save the guest's photo, signature, height, eye color, etc...

The room was beautiful and the location was close to the center of town. There was inexpensive parking just up the street. Lots of places to eat nearby. The only negative is that it is located on a very busy street and the traffic at night was really loud and we found it very difficult to sleep.

Excellent stay with friendly staff, clean rooms, and great location.

Very welcoming, great climate control. Would absolutely stay here again, cool elevator and location.

Clean hotel with very kind treatment

We loved the place and our host, she was friendly and helpful with all the tourist information and made our stay just amazing. The location is perfect. 5 stars! Katarina

Exceptional property, with a fabulous pool

The location is good in the way that it is at 5 minute walking distance to Catania Centrale, but the surrounding area is very very run down and quite sketchy, even during the day. Glad we didn’t have to walk in the area at night. We had some trouble getting in because no one answered the doorbell but once we were inside the owners were very kind and helpful. The rooms are spacious and clean but outdated

Good basic hotel. Large rooms. Friendly staff, good breakfast. We requested breakfast very early and this was no problem. Close to trainstation. Short walk to center. Surroundings of the hotel are not that good. Rubbish in te streets and not well mantained. Besides this, good option.

Old establishment in the city center, the air conditioner was not working well. Breakfast is good. Staff friendly. From this place, you acess easily access the bus station to Etna excursions.

I had the opportunity to stay with friends for two nights and I must say that I felt very comfortable. I was amazed by the truly enormous and well-kept room. The location is very convenient because it is very close to the station and about ten minutes walk from the centre. The staff were very kind and super helpful! The only flaw is the area in which the structure is located... left a bit abandoned...

A clean and comfortable hotel with large and very quiet rooms, private bathroom. The breakfast is complete: sweet and savory with a truly exceptional espresso coffee! The staff is very kind, puts customers at ease and is very attentive to all needs. Perfect location to reach all the squares of the city and very close to the station. The stay was very comfortable and I am very satisfied. I learned on...

Very close to the bus station. The adjacent streets were a little dark / dirty. Around a 10-15 minute walk from the main city centre (via Etnea). Very pleasant and accommodating staff. Lovely clean and comfortable room, spacious. They need to chuck in another pillow though, one is never enough

It's very good hotel I come back here again

Grand Hotel Baia Verde is a nice resort hotel.  Unfortunately we came in the off season so some amenities like the pool and access to the sea were not available.  Our room was a recently renovated room and was very clean with a balcony.  The views in the morning were fantastic watching the sun rise up over the sea.  It’s about a 20 minute drive into the centre of Catania. Mount Etna is about a 40 minute...

Very good hotel. Very clean and comfortable. It's a pity that I can only stay in this city for one night. Although it is not a sea view room, you can still see a piece of sea, which is more charming when combined with the garden view. The hotel is very large, and the restaurant has a 180-degree view of the sea.

Overall pretty good hotel. I would stay there again and would have no problem recommending it to others.

The hotel is right on the seaside and offers free parking, which is very convenient for tourists who drive themselves.

A beautiful hotel set on the cliff just outside Catania - rooms are big, have AC, well serviced, great pool (30m plus x 20), great pool bar, amazing buffet breakfast, access to sea. Lovely for a family holiday.

It was all great, perfect location, nice and clean room with great balcony . Highly recommend!

It was bad that we couldn't open the windows..it could have been solved with a simple mosquito net..we didn't need the air conditioner but if there was it didn't have a remote control..breakfast was average..the location was perfect so it's best not to see all the shortcomings..if I come again I would stay here.If we had looked at the negative comments we wouldn't have chosen this beautiful hotel.

Family hotel with a great location, close to the pedestrian street, very convenient for travel, but the facilities are relatively old.

This hotel is one of the most interesting and pleasant places i have ever visited. Location is great. The stuff is amazing. The excursion to Ethna was unforgettable. Till next year, guys!

Wife and I stayed here during the Medicane in October. Because of the horrendous weather we did not enjoy our stay in Catania. However, we did find our stay at the hotel as enjoyable as possible. After checking in Marco and his colleague were very helpful and a delight. The one thing that caused a concern. We had a terrible time getting from the airport to the hotel. Hard rainfall, no taxis and finally...

Thank you very much to the lady at the front desk. This is a very excellent hotel in an ancient building. The location of the hotel is very convenient for travel. I would like to especially thank a lady who is in charge of the front desk reception here. Because I accidentally slipped, she was very kind and busy for me and quickly called an ambulance. I really thank her for her kindness and everything...

We were given a room with no window or only one that looked onto a brick wall. On the fourth floor 60 steps up and down each time was difficult. Recommend you make more of the fact there is no lift

It's a good place to stay for cpls or singles, not families

For the price, this is a great hotel. Clean, friendly helpful staff, and great location.

I arrived in the middle of the night without booking, with an urgent need for a stay after a flight delay. nevertheless they gave me a room for a very affordable price (even for a student like me) ! I'm sure elsewhere they would have exploited my situation.

Overall I don't have too many issues with this hotel but this is coming from a person travelling alone with no major requirements. It's what I would expect from a 3star hotel. As most old houses in town centres that have been converted into hotels, they have had to work very hard and creatively to accommodate 21st century expectations and I think that have managed it in terms of functionality and...
