Stay away

They could not find our reservation. I have booked a triple room for 74 €, we got a double for me, my wife and our teen daughter. It cost 80 € for one night. It is cold everywhere in this \"hotel\", the guests had breakfast with their jackets on. The breakfast is ridiculous, you'd better eat somewhere outside. The shower was a disaster, the only good thing there was plenty of hot water.

The hotel entrance is so wild – guests have to ring the bell for door to open and then go upstairs with a very small elevator; the rooms that face the main road are terribly noise. Breakfast is too basic – the same every day. No extra socket in room to charge phone/computer. The property needs major modernisation.

beautiful hotel but be aware.

Hotel and service was great. Only two things made it unpleasant. 1. WiFi service was the worst I've experienced in Italy. 2. I was overcharged one day but couldn't communicate that to the lady and was late getting to the train station. I even pulled up my confirmation on my phone showing the daily rate and total. Not pleased.

Great value in the center of town

This place is hard to describe, elegant walls and ceilings but certainly not a luxury hotel. It is a perfect location. There was WiFi in the lobby only which is becoming a deal breaker for me these days. Breakfast was basic, coffee, croissant, juice, yogurt. Nobody speaks English which made it difficult to get directions, etc. At $52 for a single this place is a bargain.

Needs improving

Well, between 2 worlds, very well located and internet works well.On the negative points, breakfast is not worth offering, single bed too uncomfortable and small, glass shower door loose and partly broken which could prove to be dangerous, worse on the first day I requested an extra pillow which maid provided after 30 mts with the no disturb sign on the young receptionist on duty knocked and started arguing why I disturbed the maid ? Found this very strange as the maid was very kind.I do not take it lightly to be disturbed for no reason while I am resting!

I was treated like family!

I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Gresi very much. The owner had this big smile, was wonderful to me and
made me feel very welcomed. He helped me out finding my way around and answered a lot if questions I had. The breakfast was Italian style of course, but for those accustomed to eating an American style breakfast I have to say that it was very filling, I was very full for 3-4 hours. It consisted of a coffee of choice (cappuccino, espresso, latte, etc.), a yoghurt, a huge croissant with assorted jellies/Nutella and also came with a glass of grapefruit juice. The room was great, very clean, air conditioned, with a TV and a safe, and was very cozy. The location is excellent, only a few steps away from the Main Street that takes you directly to the main square. There are tons of stores, many restaurants, gelatterias and all sorts of things to see in the area. There is also an ATM machine only a short block away. I spent 3 nights at this hotel and I would go back. The only one issue I had was the internet connection in my room that I lost it at times, but no problems in the common areas. It might have been my room location.

Hotel with sicilian soul

I was not satisfied with WI-FI connection. It has been working only in the lobby, in the room only occasionally. Because of my work it was frustrating. Bar in the room was empty but you can buy a drink in the near by store. In general the ambient was nice and pleasant, the elderly owners (it is family hotel) are nice and polite. More convenient for tourists than business trip, at night and in the morning could be a little noisy - no noise isolation. Very good location.

Chambre n°20 au 2eme étage coté cours très calme ; Bonne qualité de la literie ; salle de bain avec lavabo, wc, douche et sèche cheveux ; Petit-déjeuner : café + un croissant sicilien ; jus concentré : orange ou ananas ; fruit : pomme ou orange ; jambon et fromage ; pain de mie ; différentes confitures, nutella ; yaourt fraise ou banane, … ; Télévision ; Chambre plutôt propre ;
Le jour du départ, nous avons pu entreposer nos bagages à l’accueil gratuitement ; Hôtel situé à 2 minutes à pied de la « Station de Bus Via Etna » pour prendre un bus, et surtout le Bus Alibus (4 euros) pour aller à l’aéroport de Catane (passage toutes les 20 minutes) durée vers l’aéroport = 30 minutes ; hôtel bon rapport qualité / prix, à recommander vivement !

L’hotel è bello e le camere sono spaziose e pulite. Gli asciugamani in numero sufficiente vengono cambiati ogni giorno. Presente il set di cortesia.
L’ingresso è invece abbastanza fatiscente.
Poco comodo avere la reception ad un piano e la stanza in un altro piano, ma tutti i piani sono serviti dall’ascensore.
La sala colazioni è piccola e è capitato che abbiamo dovuto aspettare che altri si alzassero. I tavoli sono coperti da plastica; sarebbe carino e anche più igienico una tovaglietta usa e getta.
La colazione per noi è stata più che sufficiente. I cornetti caldi sono serviti dal personale, uno a testa, ma se si chiedono degli altri li portano subito. Nel buffet ci sono fette biscottate, yogurt, frutta, acqua, pane da tostare, marmellata, miele e nutella. Per chi preferisce il salato, prosciutto cotto e formaggio.
La posizione è centralissima, a due passi da via Etnea e vicina a ristoranti, pub, street food e pasticcerie.

Tragiczny hotel

Tragiczny hotel niezgodny z ofertą! Specjalnie kieruje się w wyborze hotelu oceną i konkretnymi wymaganiami, żeby podczas wyjazdu nie martwić się np. kwestią gotówki. Tak więc hotel, który miał obsługiwać płatność kartą przyjmował tylko gotówkę. Po informacji, że chcę zapłacić kartą recepcjonista jedynie pokręcił głową i popatrzył na wyłączony terminal, który raczej nie zepsuł się przed chwilą. Gdy zapłaciłem w końcu gotówką przeznaczoną na inne wydatki okazało się, że.. pan nie ma wydać i zaoferował w ramach reszty butelkę wody. Kpina.
Pokój wg oferty miał mieć balkon lub patio, w rzeczywistości nie miał nawet prawdziwego okna. Jedynie nieotwierające się \"okno\" z matową szybą. W ciągu dnia było więc ciemno, a o wietrzeniu czy widoku można zapomnieć. W dodatku do klimatyzacji nie było pilota, a w pokoju w nocy zrobiło się zimno. No i gniazdko przy łóżku nie działało. Śniadanie przeciętne - ser i szynka, żadnych warzyw i owoców.

La chambre n'était pas conforme à la description, un des lits était juste une banquette d'appoint. Le petit déjeuner était médiocre. Le bâtiment est beau, mais c'est le seul intérêt de cet hôtel.
