Room was okay, and breakfast was very good. A really nice terrace for breakfast. Our bed was rather firm, and the design of the shower in bathtub made it very difficult to shower without water getting all over the floor. The elevators were small and required one elevator to get to the lobby on the 4th floor, and a second elevator to get to the room on the 3rd floor. You had to then go up to the 4th floor and switch elevators to leave the hotel.

Staff, location (including outdoor patio & sitting room), and breakfast were all wonderful. Bed was comfortable & bathroom well-appointed. Only criticism is that our space would have benefited from some updates to replace worn, soiled carpet and remove mildew & discolorations in the bathroom.

Street signs do not help to locate the property. The entrance does not look even close to the picture you show.
Front desk personnel was helpful, especially Jessica.
Very unfortunately at our next stop after 4 days at this facility we discovered items missing, specifically money. We did not go back to complain; we had no extra time. Live and learn I guess.

we had a one night stay in the Manganelli Palace. The staff were exceptionally helpfull and friendly, which made up for the rather run down internal condition of the room and some of the corridors.
My bathroom in particular was in need of a refurbishment as there was black mould around the bath. It was clean but run down.
The bed was comfortable and the breakfast good. I would stay here again because it is so centrally located and the staff were so lovely.

1 night stay, quick and easy

We stayed here for the 1 night and arrived very late, check in was easy.
For the price, it was what you expected.
Decent size room but bathroom needs some work. Location was a bit sketchy however walkong distance to all main attractions.

Title: Serious Safety Hazard — Avoid Until Fixed!

I stayed here and discovered there were no clear fire exits, blocked emergency stairs full of building materials, and no evacuation plan in the room. When the power went out, we were trapped with no clear escape route and no help from staff.

This hotel is a fire hazard and unsafe. I reported it to the local fire brigade and the city. Until they fix these basic safety violations, I strongly recommend you stay elsewhere for your own safety.

Titolo: Grave rischio sicurezza — Da evitare finché non sarà messo a norma!

Ho soggiornato in questo hotel e ho scoperto che non ci sono uscite di emergenza ben segnalate, le scale antincendio erano ostruite da materiali da costruzione e nella camera non c’era alcun piano di evacuazione. Quando è mancata la corrente, siamo rimasti bloccati senza una via di fuga chiara e senza assistenza adeguata dal personale.

Questo hotel è un pericolo per la sicurezza. Ho segnalato tutto ai Vigili del Fuoco e al Comune. Finché non saranno risolte queste gravi violazioni di sicurezza, consiglio vivamente di scegliere un’altra struttura per la propria sicurezza.

Superb location for sightseeing a few minutes walk from Via Etna, actually street was a bit scruffy, though that’s a thing in Catania.

The breakfast was really good with a nice selection and lovely lady doing the coffee and replenishing supplies.

The roof terrace was gorgeous at sunset.

But our room was run down and the bathroom was mouldy and the bsthroom floor was constantly drenched, even when we arrived and hadn’t touched a tap.

Thought the location was excellent, within easy walking distance to the attractions. The only downside was that the parking was a bit of a challenge. There’s not much available close to the hotel and you have to be lucky to find a decent spot.

The best place to stay in Catania

I can't say enough about this place. It is so well located that we were able to walk to everything.
It is located in what was once a palace and the decor reflects that.
The staff at the front desk, especially Gessica, were amazing. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating.
The breakfast had quite a good assortment of foods. In particular the cakes and tortes, handmade by Stefania, were truly delicious and special.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Catania.

There was no electricity so the lift didn’t work! Reception is on the 4th floor. No way was I going to risk my life lugging heavy suitcases up 4 floors in the dark.
We cancelled booking and will get a refund via my card issuer. Do not stay here ever,

Significant pros, a couple of smaller cons

Cons: Parking was full when we checked in. Elevator is tiny (entire hotel is on 4th floor of building and guests are buzzed into street entrance by intercom). Shower is a stall that tends to flood the bathroom. No English-language channels on TV. Pros: clean, comfortable, excellent location, lovely breakfast with great view, staff is accommodating and English-speaking.

Fourth floor hotel and lift out of order!

Overall we were reasonably satisfied with this hotel, but they should have warned us in advance that the lift was being replaced - if we'd been infirm or disabled, it would have been impossible to stay here. As it was, four large flights of stairs were hard work.
The room was clean, but carpets in the corridors were grubby.
The booking led us to believe that we'd have to queen size beds, but it turned out to be a twin room.
The breakfast roof terrace made up for some of the negative points and for Italy, the breakfast buffet had a reasonable selection.

Right by an assortment of restaurants, gorgeous piazzas. Great price, nice breakfast and very good wi-fi.

Awesome location and great service!

This hotel has possibly the best location in Catania! It is literally a 2 minute walk from the Duomo and main tourist parts of Catania with many restaurants and shopping nearby.

We booked this hotel in the morning while in Catania at a very good price and we arrived at the hotel at 10am. Although check in was not supposed to be until 2 pm - the hotel let us into our room right away! The man at the front desk was very kind and helpful. He also helped us book an incredible tour of Mount Etna.

The room itself was very spacious (for Italy) and we had a massive King bed. The bathroom was massive and in excellent condition.

Breakfast is average.

The hotel building is old but the hotel rooms are in good condition and was a perfect little stay for us for 2 nights.

Central location

Ideal location for city break to Catania. Lovely room unfortunately moved to a room that was not so good for the last night of stay (toilet difficult/impossible to flush, broken shelf in bathroom etc). Staff very helpful, hotel reception on fourth floor. Lift only suitable for 2 people and would be very difficult for anyone in a wheel chair. breakfast can only be described as adequate but there is a lovely roof top terrace to sit out on to eat it.

Bizarre Stay

A bizarre little hotel on the third and fourth floors of an office building undergoing rehab. Strange layout. Staff gave me wrong info to go to Veduvious and I missed it as I was there only two days. The breakfast was so so and the bar man seemed annoyed that I drank more than one cappuccino at breakfast. You have to take two different elevators to get to your room, which was very much in need of redecoration and updating. The bathroom was marble and nice but there is no lower lip on the shower so there is.a flood in the bathroom when you use the shower. The neighborhood is iffy and a bit rough in the immediate area at night though on the other side toward the water it is nicer right away.

A pleasant 5 night stay.

Hidden away. You need to find the bell beside the street door & ring to be admitted & go up 4 floors in the elevator. (Luckily, there was another guest at the door when I arrived. Otherwise, I might have had problems finding the place.)
Rather high class family-style. Comfortable. Close to the beautiful main square.

A hidden gem that exceeds it's exterior appearance.The Manganelli Palace lies hidden off the via Etnea on one side of an old piazza.Once you've ascended to the 2nd floor via the rickety lift you're greeted by friendly reception staff.The rooms are spacious, clean and modern with fantastic frescoes on the ceiling.The buffet breakfast is adequate and staff are friendly and knowledgable.One criticism it could be better signposted.

Great hotel in the heart of the city. Everything is walking distance. There are two parts to the hotel, a newly renovated section that's awkward to get to, and an older section. Either way you can take the little two person lift, or power up the stairs. Loved this hotel. Wonderful staff, great morning coffee, and the converted palace was a treat.

Comfortable hotel, location not ideal

We arrived after dark and was a bit sketchy in the area. There is no parking (despite being listed as available) and thus the drop off of wife, kids and bags was stressful.

Nevertheless, the staff were reasonably friendly and the room comfortable enough. The room was a bit noisy despite having the doors and shutters closed.

Breakfast was adequate and typical for Italy. By day the area was much better, just a short stroll to the Via Etnea and the Piazza de Duomo.

A very convenient location

Manganelli Palace is very conveniently situated for the main sights of Catania, with a good choice of restaurants nearby and a convenient supermarket. Our room was a comfortable size with a small balcony overlooking an inner courtyard. It needed some TLC. When we arrived there were only two hangers in the closet and scuff marks on much of the furniture. The shower head refused to stay in any position but the lowest and hot water wasn’t always guaranteed. Staff were courteous enough but not overly helpful. There was no initial guide to the attractions or services of the area. Responses to requests for information on the Circumetnea railway or bus to the airport were vague and as it turned out, inaccurate. However, the lady presiding over breakfast was a delight and breakfast itself very satisfying without being spectacular – good coffee, pastries, fruit and buns.
We never did quite figure out how the front door worked – probably monitored by camera from the desk, we supposed. Sometimes it opened quickly, other times you had to call up. There are 82 steps up to the hotel so the elevator is essential and is the standard, rather cramped, Italian design.
We loved Catania and will definitely return, at which point we wouldn’t rule out Manganelli Palace but would hope it has addressed some of its rough edges.

What Can I Say!

The Hotel Manganelli Palace: There were six of us, so we needed two triple rooms. The rooms were gorgeous and comfortable. The hotel is minutes on foot to Via Etnea, stores, restaurants, the Duomo, etc., and fifteen-minute walk to the train station and bus terminal. We were a little concerned when we first arrived, as the immediate area doesn't necessarily suggest \"Palace,\" but the rooms and staff won us over. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and extremely helpful. We would definitely stay there again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel. It's a great value and a wonderful place to return to after a day of exploring Catania.

Da vi ser ud på badeværelset er der noget der ligner skimmelsvamp omkring badekarret. Afløbet i badekarret var klamt og ulækkert. Aircondition larmede voldsomt og der var meget larm fra gaderne

Le gros point positif c'est la situation. L'hôtel se trouve dans le centre historique. Tout se fait à pied. De plus il y a une belle terrasse d'où l'on prend le petit déjeuner qui est bien. Autre point non négligeable, le parking situé dans la cour intérieure de l'hôtel. Par contre la propreté n'est pas au rendez-vous. Des papiers qui traînent des clients d'avant dans la salle de bain. Les joints de la baignoire qui sont noirs. Ça ne donne pas envie. De plus l'insonorisation est inexistante. De 6h30 du matin, on a été réveillé par le déplacement de meubles. Certainement l'installation de la salle de service du petit déjeuner. Ça a duré tellement longtemps que ce ne peut pas venir d'une autre chambre. Quand on arrive devant la porte d'entrée de l'hôtel, on ne reconnaît pas du tout la photo vue sur le site de réservation. C'est tellement laid qu'on est surpris.

Vi hade betalat för ett rum för tre personer, men vi fick bara sängkläder för dubbelsängen, inte för bäddsoffan, när jag efterfrågade det så ingick inte det utan alla tre skulle sova i dubbelsängen. Rätt trångt med en fyraåring. Ville vi ha lakan till bäddsoffan så kunde vi få det för 25 EUR per dygn.
