The entrance and exit is tedious with an outer door, secondary door and room door, each requiring its own key or card. The room was sparse with beds and a table with two chairs to eat food if you brought any with you. Breakfast is not offered. There was a refrigerator with a small carton of juice and small bottle of water, both complimentary. The tv worked as did the AC, but modestly. There is generally no staff around but there was at check in and he was very polite. Not much street noise. Finally, the location is great.

Room was spacious and clean. Marco was extremely helpful and gave recommendations for the area. Location is excellent and convenient as very close to the city centre with many options of places to eat at.

However the road is very noisy so if you’re a light sleeper you’ll struggle to sleep. I barely slept during my stay. I was informed that rooms are cleaned every other day which is unusual but mine was cleaned only once in 5-night stay as the cleaners leave by a certain time (which I was told about later). Bathroom had a very strong sewage smell.

This property is in in the middle of the old town of Catania and is very accessible to venues in this location. It is located within walking distance to everything in the old town.

Highly recommended - an inn with great staff

I stayed in five hotels in Sicily, and this one was my favorite by far.

Most of the time at a bed and breakfast where there is not full-time staff on the premises the service will not be very good. The Catania Inn was an exception. I arrived earlier than their stated check-in time, but the staff were there to greet me and show me the facilities. They were polite, courteous, and professional. I was also given a very handy map of the area with important sites and with terrific restaurant suggestions.

The hotel room was quite clean and comfortable and had plenty of space.

The Catania Inn is also very close to the bus and train stations, as well as to all the great sites in the city.

I enjoyed my stay very much and would recommend Catania Inn to anyone visiting the city.

This is a friendly place tucked away behind a door that opens into a courtyard from which you reach the actual building. The building is old but the B&B has been brought up to modern standards without losing its charm. Marco was very friendly and helpful whenever we needed tips or advice. It's right in the city center, so you can reach all the highlights within minutes. We would definitely come here again.

The staff were absolutely amazing and completely accommodating. They gave us tips, found us lockup parking next door, they were excellent with accommodating the children, they were exceedingly friendly and helped us to and from the car.
The inn is very close to the central duomo square, which made it easy to move around.
The advert is slightly misleading as the facilities in the room itself do not include the full list there, which had been one of the main reasons for booking this place.
There was no washing machine, the tea and coffee and toaster are in other shared rooms.
There is a bedroom which has four beds and is very spacious, then a dining room next door with only a cupboard for clothes and a fridge. There’s no facility to wash up anything you’ve eaten in the dining space other than in your bathroom sink, so the concept of having a dining table and a fridge was slightly perplexing other than to store water in and briefly sit down in.

Overall, we liked the B and B and the staff were exceptional. It just wasn’t quite what we had expected in terms of the rooms own facilities, according to the list as shown on the website for the room we had.

The Catania Inn B&B, is located in a very good neighborhood, a few blocks away from the outdoor fresh market, Piazza Duomo, Roman ruins and Benedictine Monastery of San Nicolò. From the airport the best direct transportation is book airport pick-up with the Catania Inn B&B. Other transportation is provided by taxi, a local city bus or the 'Alibus'. Ask for info & costs at the airport Tourist Information. My wife and I booked the Beige Room - clean, large bath & shower - heating is very good. There's a common refrigerator available, a tea area set up with bottled water, tea and an espresso machine for afternoon and evening breaks. The breakfast area with TV is large - open 8 through 10 a.m. Fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, olives, sun dried tomatoes, bread, cold-cuts, cake, pastry, cereal and of course espresso, cappuccino & tea. Excellent service is provided by Roberto, Marco and Eva.

We had a great time in Catania, going up Mt. Etna, spending a day in Taormina and using Catania Inn as our daily \"home base\" added extra ease and enjoyment to our 6 days in the region!
