This hotel is full of charm and character. The room was spotless, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. Best of all, we were warmly welcomed by the lovely Angelina. She is incredibly friendly, helpful, and truly wonderful—we absolutely loved her! Thank you for making our trip so special and unforgettable.

Archangela was an amazing inn keeper. She explained the datails of Catania for us, giving us a map and explaining where to avoid, where to go, what experiences were to be found. She even made us a dinner reservation at a great spot in the middle of fun night life, and recommended a local spot to pick up an Arrancino for lunch! The room was clean, the balcony was historic and excellent, and the interior shutters and air conditioning allowed us the best nights sleep we’ve had in two weeks of European travel. I highly recommend staying here on your trip to Catania, and the location in the historic city center is just a bonus.

Excellent location, walkable to main attractions, restaurants and transport. Shops around.
In case you need Internet connection, be aware that the WiFi connection is very low.
The receptionist was very helpful with information about the city, amenities and recommending local restaurants. Main train station and bus station easy to reach. Around 15 min walking.

What stay? I shared our check-in time 24 hours before our stay and I was informed I needed to give 72 hours notice. As a result, check-in was closed and we couldn’t stay the night. Luxury hotel? No.

It was a horrible experience/ I felt scammed.

This was one of my worst experiences during my collaborations with any hotel or apartment booked on Hotels.com. Be aware that this location has a policy that requires you to inform them 72 hours before your arrival, and, if you forget to do that, you will lose your entire reservation. Basically, they were not offering me the possibility to lose the first night and start my journey from the next day. I truly appreciated the Hotels.com consultants, who did their best to get me at least a part of the refund.

This was a highlight of all the places we stayed in Sicily. The host is wonderful with a great sense of humour. The room was enchanting and it’s right in the heart of Catania. The location is central so you will hear the sounds of the neighbourhood but we loved that. Catania is a fantastic city. We love it all

The property is a little difficult to find as the town restricts signage. There is a small sign near the door with is on the main street. The office is located on the send floor which can be reached by an elevator. The staff was extremely helpful, and the hotel is located in the center of town making everything very convenient. The room was very nice. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice Room and location with some odd issues

The context here is that this isn't a hotel it's a B&B or possibly a room. I thought being a B&B it would include breakfast as standard but it doesn't- you have to pay extra for it, even though I don't recall (and still cannot identify) an option to do so. It's not a huge issue though there are two great places for coffee and pastries 3 mins away and more beyond that, which I suspect are better value anyway.

They also won't commit to keeping your luggage on the last day- its a question of whats convenient. They might but don't bank on it. There are signs to say that this was clear on booking but again I didn't see them. The reason is the owner isn't always about and has property elsewhere. There's a left luggage place 5 mins away though so its not the end of the world though of course it has a cost.

You do have to clearly specify a check in time (again so the owner can make sure to be about), which has its perils.

She was helpful with recommendations and booked us into a restaurant which was good.

The bus to the airport drops off/picks up more or less outside which is handy.

The general location is great- its on the main thoroughfare but it still didn't seem really noisy when trying to get to sleep.There's a street called Via Santa Filomena 2 mins away with bars and restaurants etc.

The room looked as depicted in the photos and was generally nice and was cleaned daily perfectly well. It did say you can't use hair straighteners in them.

The owner has been super helpful with the reservation & arriving process.
The room is so well decorated, comfy king bed & amenities.
All in walkable distance, per her advice, we rented the car in Catonia when ready to leave Catania.
No need, just walk. Great food!

Be advised, there is no front desk personnel and unlike other hotels in Sicily, the check-in process is not modernized (management physically must meet you at the agreed-upon arrival time). Also, you will have to find parking in the area, which can be rather difficult to find since it's a very busy area.

The issue in my case is that I arrived to the local airport at 7AM. Since we couldn't check-in at that time, we decided to rent a car and go hiking to the Etna volcano (where I had no cellphone signal). Once leaving the volcano, I advised to owner (via WhatsApp) that I would be arriving later than originally anticipated (1.5 hours later at 16:30).

Upon arriving, the owner went on a verbal tirade, speaking very quickly with an aggressive tone, for (i) arriving later than expected (she had personal obligations that had to be put on hold) and (ii) for not following her parking instructions (it was difficult for me to concentrate since she stressed me out with all her messages and consecutive phone calls).

I have never been treated this way by a hotel, apartment, etc. I believe the owner can be very nice as long as you don't change your time of arrival.

The friendliness of the staff, especially Arcangela ... the room was beautifully appointed with high ceilings and two large windows/doors which each opened up onto a small balcony ... you were part of the life outside on via Etnea, or could close the windows/doors and have peace and quiet ... Arcangela also assisted with information and organising the taxi. The apartment is near a bus stop and within walking distance of all the tourist attractions, restaurants, shops in the old town! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

The Art Fashion House is not a typical hotel but a walk up building with individual rooms. We only stayed for one night but our stay was very comfortable. The location was very convenient because it was right in the center of everything and it was very walkable. Of note is that breakfast is an option and can be booked with the room.

If you are looking to stay in Catania, do yourself a favor and book here. There is no better location, no better quality, and no better staff you will find then at the Art Fashion House. Arcangela, the host, was incredibly helpful and attentive--from parking advice to food recommendations. Anything that was needed was promptly taken care of. The rooms were clean, the breakfast was delicious, and the experience was authentic. Catania is great, and it's even greater if you stay here.

Art Fashion House is beautifully decorated with comfortable well appointed rooms; airy, high ceilings with balcony and air conditioning, all within a traditional Sicilian building.

Brilliantly located on Via Etnea in the centre of Catania with restaurants, bars and shops all around. All the key sites to visit within Catania are within a short walk, including the Central bus and station (for those who wish to venture further, and 15 minutes up Via Etnea to Borgo Station (for Circumetnea Train around Mount Etna).

Arcangela was a welcoming and attentive hostess; nothing was too much trouble, recommending and booking restaururants; transport from and to the airport and trips. An original, authentic experience, rather than staying in a bland chain hotel and we would definitely stay again.

I didn't stay at this property. There was a booking error and I was booked in February rather than April. The owner says I told her I was touring in Italy and didn't know what time I'd be there TOMORROW...meanwhile I never left the USA. I in fact manage a hotel and was at it at that time...in Arizona! The owner arbitrarily decided to keep 2 nights plus tax instead of what the policy stated. 4.5 hrs on the phone between her and Expedia. Expedia finally refunded me when she wouldn't. My credit card was going to too. Don't stay here. She is rude and not worth the hassle. I was supposed to stay for my anniversary. She actually told me to make a new booking....Like I'd stay there after the way she treated me.
