Here’s a shorter version that’s still strong and professional:

Very disappointing experience.

After checking out, I realized I had accidentally left two wedding dresses in the wardrobe and contacted the hotel immediately. I was first told they had been found, but shortly afterward I was informed they had made a mistake and the dresses could not be located.

These were valuable and irreplaceable items, and it is extremely difficult to understand how they could simply disappear. The contradictory information and the handling of the situation left me with very little confidence in the hotel’s lost-and-found procedures.

I expected much better care and professionalism. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this property to anyone traveling with valuable belongings.

The manager Gaetano (not sure about the spelling) was extremely helpful and friendly. We only stayed there for one night and he called and made reservations for us for both lunch and dinner. Very good restaurants. Were were grateful that he called the taxi and negotiated a fair price for us to go to the airport. Btw, hiring a taxi is not as simple as I thought. We were way overcharged many times. This is another story.
The breakfast was good and exceeded our expectation. The breakfast room has an ornate frescoed ceiling. We were impressed by the this baroque building's grandeur once we stepped inside. We found out from the manager that it was built in 1780, once the palace of a Sicilian baron.
The location of this hotel is in a walking distance to all major attractions in the old town.
Our room was on the 1st floor (2nd floor in the US) and we were pleasantly surprised that there was even a small elevator! I have never been this pleased from my semi-random hotel selection. I felt like I won the lotto this time!
Thank you again to hotel manager Gaetano for having made our stay very pleasant and unforgettable. I have never put so much time in writing a review but I have to do it this time as a way to thank Gaetano. Gaetano, you are the best! Thank you.

Firstly, the staff was excellent and the building beautiful. We did not have breakfast but could see what was pre prepped for the next day and the owner even allowed us to get coffee and a yogurt in the AM but we did not. We did get a water for the road. We had an early flight out the next morning, so we could not experience breakfast but I am sure it would have been quite a spread. Room was clean but warm so we opened our balcony window for the breeze but because of a festival going on, it was quite noisy at midnight. Parking was atrocious. The street it is on was lined with tents (closed vendors) where google maps wanted to take us. A local on the street did not let us squeeze down this street and because so many streets were one way or blocked created quite an issue to get there. At one point, the Nissan crossover could not fit around the corner of a street and we had to go up on a curb to turn the corner. This is not the fault of the owner. But simply if we would have know about closed streets, we would have not booked there. We did park on the street which since we were leaving the hotel at 6 AM, the owner said we should be fine. It appears that we were. Elevator was broken so we had to go up three flights of stairs with our luggage. Thank you to the owner for trying to make the accommodation the best he could in the given circumstance.

I was awakened at 7 am by noise of people installing floors right next door to my room. It is not a hotel, just a whole bunch of rooms in one of the floors of a building. The description was misleading, stating that there was parking. I was not able to find parking within 500 meters of the room and ended up parking in the street risking a ticket or getting towed. Driving to the house was not safe with people in two different traffic lights wanting to to clean the car for money and getting upset when told not to.

Charming Hidden Gem.

This place is a lovely authentic gem. Beds where very comfortable, room was very clean, and the bathroom was recently furbished. The building does not have your typical hotel frontage with fancy foyer as you enter. But dont let that put you off.
The reception is on the second floor of this 200 year old building. So if you like charming old building with new upgrades, this place is worth a stay. Bonus points for being centrally located in the heart of Catania and the staff are absolutely lovely.

Good:
Location.Clean.Mini refrigerator was full of water and soda.
Negative:
It is not a really Hotel. We come at 2 PM. Door was closed.
Try to ring , No answer. 1 Hour. we was waiting in the car
3 PM they open the door. give us a key to our room.
after 10PM nobody is on the small front desk. Entrance door close.
If you have a late flight and come after 10PM ,it is a risk to be on the street before somebody come in the morning.
Very hard to find a street parking.But 10 min walk is a parking cost about 12EUR a day.
BE CAREFUL :
place is located just on the corner of the street with a limited traffic. And my navigation send me to this street.
It it a possible that my car was catch on the camera and they send me a ticket, If you come on your car, not a taxi, there is no way to stop by the place and take out your luggage,
You have to park (if you lucky) on the corner of the street
and carry your stuff 200 feet.

Pros - excellent location in the historic centre, comfortable bed, good AC

Cons - The triple room is a double bed and a single bed, not the advertised twin bed (and the receptionist wouldn’t even consider discussing it). Very basic hotel with a small room for the price. Elevator only takes you between floors, so you’ll want to avoid this hotel if you’re disabled or injured.

Basically does the job for a short stay, but overpriced for the quality that’s provided

The hotel is on a sidestreet off the main Via Etnea but it felt safe and actually surprisingly quiet except for some loud drumming on a couple of nights which ended by 11pm. I had an economy single room which was basic but good value for money with a mini bar fridge in the room and tea/coffee making facilities at reception available 24/7. As advertised the room is not en suite but has a private toilet/shower room down the corridor and around the corner which wasn't a problem for me. The location of the hotel is excellent for exploring Catania; the rooms and communal areas were cleaned daily and well maintained (although the furniture is a little tired but you must expect that for the cost) and the staff were polite and helpful. I would not hesitate to stay there again in the future. As a bonus there is also an impressively decorated room next to the reception that is well worth checking out!

I did all the planning for our trip to Italy and Greece, and did not know what to really expect, so I relied upon the property to properly represent themselves and found everything just as they said. They were centrally located between the airport and the cruise terminal, and the hotel itself was in a perfect part of town. There was ac and a very clean room. They worked with us when we weren't going to be able to make our checkin by 10 pm, and were very accommodating when it came to helping us get a taxi to get to the cruise terminal. We stayed again after the cruise, and were once again treated with respect as well as providing us a room before the other one was ready (four of us traveled). They also got us another taxi to get us to the airport. We are hoping to travel to Catania again and will absolutely plan to stay with them. What a nice place on a very busy and beautiful street! Lots to see and do!!! Thank you so much for such a memorable experience!!!!!!

One night stopover before holiday inland

This clean and comfortable guesthouse is right on the one of the main streets in the Historic Quarter, Via Etnea. Although its right in the action the bedrooms are located to the side of the property which is on a little road so not too noisy. Lots of lovely shops and buildings.
Breakfast wasn't offered but it isn't needed as there are so many cafes on the doorstep.
If you can get in, go for Pizza at Al Vicolo Pizza and Vino just around the corner - fabulous vibe and so pretty with all its fairy lights in the evening.
Hosts at the Guesthouse welcoming and accomodated our early check in request. You can also leave luggage there when you check out.
We took the Alibus from the Airport 4Euros. Very easy and drops you an easy 5 minute walk from the accommodation.
I don't recommend walking down near the train station, the area is very scruffy with sadly alot of homeless people around. We didn't feel unsafe but I might have done if I was a woman travelling on my own.
