Coffee and tea was a bonus. The unit we got was immaculately clean and huge with bedroom, garden view, as for instance. The venue was in a very central location really close to all the shops, bars cafes and main piazzas, the main attractions, and the next door cafe.

The hotel was a good home base for enjoying a nice area, near a bus stop for 457 bus to airport. Its location was very central, very close to a neo-gothic church. The staff were welcoming and pleasant and gave me good recommendations.

We liked the very central location and how clean the place was kept. A little balcony, a mini-bar, and a writing table were available in our twin room. The breakfast was enjoyable, and the staff was excellent.
We didn't like the bed, it was not very comfortable.

The location was great and fantastic because it was near to Catania, Sicily, a bus stop and the shopping street. I ate at the attached restaurant near the hotel. I was upgraded to a new-fashioned guest room with the window to the patio.
Some of the staff were very rude.
