Good modern and clean hotel with free parking. It was a bit far from the city center but we had a car so that was not an issue. Room was big and they give you free drinks (juices and water) Unfortunately we could not use the pool area because of the weather that day. Overall a good stay.

I think the woman on reception needs to consider if the job is for her.. she was not very interested when we arrived.. huffing and puffing and I put it down to it being a late arrival - on leaving, no acknowledgment of us standing waiting which I think std in that role, but took 2( minutes to book out one person and not even an apology.. was clearly again harassed by something - unimpressive for a 4star hotel - the male receptionist was on the contrary very helpful as were all the other staff.. cleaning staff were really lovely and always said good morning.

The staff were very helpful indeed and we were given a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival - which helped us wind down offer a long days travelling. The room was spacious and comfortable with views of the pool and courtyard. There was also a complementary minibar selection of soft drinks and snacks, which we appreciated.

Overall the stay was good. However, the staff at reception were not very friendly, hardly acknowledging you as you enter after a day out. The cleaners however were always happy and always said good morning. The breakfast was the same every morning, with only 3 hot dishes to choose from, frankfurter, bacon and scrambled egg. Very boring after a 10 day stay. You really need a car if you stay here as it is not near the town centre. The bus was ok but came very infrequently.

A great out of the way hotel!

Lovely hotel and nice big room. Pool area and breakfast were lovely. We realised before booking that the hotel was on the outskirts of town, but even with the help of googlemaps we really struggled to find bars and restaurants unless we missed anything.

We caught the bus to/from the train station, which was easy to do!

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Rude Staff

I booked Air One City Hotel in Catania via Hotels.com, entering the ages of the guests (14 and 17). Upon arrival, I was told I had to pay extra for each child because, according to them, the ages they received were wrong – despite having proof from my booking confirmation.

The situation was made worse by Camello at reception. He was extremely rude, dismissive, and unwelcoming, leaving me very upset. When Hotels.com tried to call the hotel to resolve the issue, the phone rang repeatedly in front of me, and he refused to answer until I asked. When he finally picked up, he hung up on the agent.

We arrived early and were told our bags would be safely stored, but they were left unattended, and we had to carry them ourselves when the room was ready – shocking for a 4-star hotel.

The non-smoking room smelled heavily of smoke, the shower was tiny, and cleanliness was poor, though the room was spacious and had a bidet. The door had no full lock, forcing us to push a chair against it for security.

This hotel does not provide an iron; you must hand over clothes and pay for ironing. At checkout, staff tried to charge me again for the same extra fee until I showed proof. Parking is limited and not as advertised.

The breakfast was good, and the gentleman serving it was polite, but otherwise staff were unprofessional. We became so uncomfortable that we avoided asking for anything. I have never felt so unwelcome at a hotel and could not wait to leave. I would not recommend this hotel!!

We booked 2 superior rooms, we got one at the 1st floor and second of the 2nd floor. very good rooms, big and clean. However, the Internet in both rooms was very poor, disconnected every few minutes, we could not use it.
The location of the hotel is great for day tours at cities around with good access to the highway.
The pool is relatively small, but nice, the breakfast is good but with no variety.
Overall stay was good at reasonable price.
We will definitely choose this hotel again if you will be in the area

Airone is a beautifully designed hotel in a great location. The staff (especially Valeria and the young woman with the blue eyes and curly blond hair at reception) were wonderful, patient and helpful. Also the ladies who were making the food were very sweet. All the staff were very nice. My room was a bit dusty when I arrived. Dust on the bedside tables and on the fridge. It wasn't as clean as I would have liked. Some area carpet rugs would be nice to absorb the echoes of the people in the hall. Without the rugs the whole place is quite noisy because of the echoing sounds. The First night I slept very well but the second night a family moved into the room beside me and the kids were very loud until about 12:30pm at night. I wish that families would have their own area in the hotel. I woke up to very loud banging sounds. The room attendant was throwing blankets from a large rolling basket onto the floor in front of a storage closet. I opened my door to express my dismay at the noise. She didn't understand and continued with the noise. I think it would be helpful for the staff to be trained about how to be quiet around the hotel while cleaning. Ei. gently setting down items, not slamming doors when cleaning, not speaking loudly in the halls in the morning when people are sleeping. Less plastic in the rooms. The paper cups are wrapped in plastic. Have pitchers of spring water in the room rather than plastic bottles. Use liquid soap dispenser instead of bars of soap.

Dislike: not enough electrical outlets for charging technical regalia and electrical outlets that were provided were not conveniently placed (ex. In order to use kettle provided it was necessary to move it from the desk where it was located to another area and then unplug the clock that was there to provide a plug for the kettle. Very annoying)

The pool is very very disappointing.
It feels like a pond which doesn't have water circulating. Not for a 4 star hotel, right. Water needs to be filtered. There is dirt floating on top.

The parking maneuvering is hard and prone to mistakes.

The room is spacious and very clean, this was the bright spot in the hotel.

The breakfast is good expect if you stay for few days because the menu is just all the same.

The rest is below average.
The bathroom has shower which urgently needs replacing.

The staff couldn't understand English very well hence I got what I didn't order.

The room was clean. The mattress was comfortable. The breakfast was acceptable. Cons: We couldn't adjust the temperature in the room. It was in the 60s outside and sunny. The room was 80 degrees. I have a thermometer on my travel clock. We asked the front desk to turn on the AC to about 68 degrees. The front desk clerk said she would and did. After returning from all day tourist stuff, the AC was off and the room was hot again. I went to the front desk around 9 PM and asked for the AC to be turned on and was met with some pushback. I was told that it was turned on. I went back to my room and by around 11 PM, realized the room remained hot. My travel partner went down and was told that it couldn't be adjusted because there was only one unit. Thi couldn't be true since the day before it had been done. My review score is based not only on there not being individual control of the temperature in the room, but the borderline belligerence of the staff. The breakfast was OK, however, there was milk added to the scrambled eggs after cooking, and the \"bacon\" (?) was undercooked. The room was fine as a room, however, with the other issues, I can't recommend it. I rely on honest reviews when booking a hotel and am trying to relay my experience.

A great Hotel in Catania

We arrived quite late in the evening, greeted with a smile by reception. The room was spotlessly clean, very light and spacious thanks to the huge, balcony doors that opened out on to the swimming pool. The breakfast was first class – great coffee with a broad choice of different fruits, cakes, local cheeses, cold meats, yoghurts etc. There was also a simple cooked breakfast available of scrambled egg, bacon and sliced sausage too. We would definitely recommend the Hotel Airone, where the staff are very warm and friendly, if you are going to Catania in Sicily.

Week stay in Catania

Stayed for 1 week and the hotel is very clean and staff very amenable. King size double bed was very comfy and nice that the non-alcoholic mini bar was fully topped up each day.

The hotel is out of kilter with the surrounding area which is a bit drab, but an excellent place to stay.

It is a bit out of the centre so ideal to have a car (although Sicilian driving is a bit of an experience!), and €20 in a taxi, but next street down you can catch the bus (BRT5) for €1 - just be sure to buy your bus tickets from the Tabbacchi shop a couple of minutes up the same road, and buy tickets for return at the same time as not many of those shops are open late on.

Underground parking is available on first come first served but there is also a bit of parking out the front or on the roadside, so not an issue.

Would definitely recommend a stay here as the buffet breakfast is ample and whilst limited lunch/evening menu, it still suffices if you’re not planning on going out in town to eat. Only things to improve would be have either piped music in the pool area or extend the wi-fi to that area so you can download your own music to portable device.

We stayed in room 13 on ground floor which was spacious although there are the early signs if a bit of mould round the shower seals that will soon need to be addressed but other than that cannot speak highly enough of this hotel.

Check in was annoying, the girls that checked me was super rude and unprofessional, she rambled the usual info session, and though I was grateful she spoke English, she ran through her speech and due to her strong accent I did not catch anything she said. As I walked away the three of them laughed loudly which lead me to believe the joke was on me. My room was clean however the sheets were stained, when I requested a change I was provided a blanket. Stayed three nights and my sheets were never changed. Though breakfast was included I never got to experience it, I was in town on business I normally left at 630 and breakfast apparently did not start till 7am. I was supposed to have wine provided each stay, however they only tried to provide this on cheaply out. I’m not sure of the rules but I’m pretty sure I couldn’t fly with that. The only reasonable thing experienced was checking out, the poor guy had to hear all about my disappointments. Parking was convenient underground the property and it was located in close proximity to everything.

Great hotel - we loved it!

This hotel gave us a great hospitality experience. Front desk team was always helpful and full of good will. Julia was great -thank you!
Hotel is well maintained, beautifully designed int an elegant way, spacious rooms, beautiful courtyard, the only point to consider is that this hotel is away from city center, in a residential neighborhood - so not mych to do within wallking distance.
