property itself was good and room was well maintained. main reason for the 3 star rating is the location. although it was only five min from the airport but there was negligible public transportation specially on a sunday. closest stop was in a parking lot which required 8-10 min walk through a main road with no sidewalk etc. night time area looked quite shady. no places to eat nearby. i would suggest only using it if you had a rental car or for a night in case you have an early flight to catch. our hosts were nice and arranged a transportation for 10 euro per person.
on site parking was included as well.

I needed a hotel near Catania airport because rental car counters close at midnight. Airport shuttle cost €45 round trip - for a five minute ride. That service ls often free or €5 at hotels near Milano Linate / Malpensa.

This was my only option last night.

I can’t say enough about how nice the staff is at this property. The woman went out of her way to make arrangements for us during our stay, above and beyond what any normal hotel proprietor would do. Despite our language barrier, she was SO nice. The location is unfortunately in the middle of an industrial zone which makes it less convenient unless you have a car.

Great, reasonably priced hotel, near the airport. Very nice helpful receptionist/owner, the room was very big and very clean with a balcony. Its in an industrial area but we were in transition so didn’t mind. There was a good continental breakfast and they gave us a shuttle ride to the train station at a good price.

This is a bare minimum stay. No lift or help and you must bring all the suitcases upstairs yourself. Stuff is very unfriendly and they kick you out at 10 o’clock in the morning or pay extra! Even to keep the luggage in storeroom, they want to charge you. we are on the road for more than two months and traveling around the world – this is the worst hotel we’ve seen so far.

Great spot by the airport

While the neighborhood is a little scary - its so darn close to the airport - so the convenience was worth it. That said, the hotel itself was safe, secure and very new/clean. I would recommend this place - it was everything we wanted all rolled up in a convenient spot - especially if you do not plan to go out much.

Nice airport hotel with what you would expect of one. Breakfast was okish with various pastry only, but this seems to be a traditional Sicilian deal. The only drawback, there is no elevator and no offer to help with the luggage. So you carry it to the 3rd floor (about 20 steps per floor) on a relatively narrow staircase.

The ONLY problem was check in. We neglected to notify in advance figuring we had already booked and paid. There is no hotel staff on site. We had to ring, and call multiple times while we waited outside for almost an hour. Once in, all was good. The arrangement is more like a guesthouse with your own keys to come and go.
