The place didn’t look like the pictures at all. Our room didn’t have windows. Only windows on the ceiling. The whole place smelled like sewage after 2nd day. First day the room and hallways smelled like pesticide. The shower temperature and flow weren’t stable and the elevator was very outdated. We were scared every time we used it. The only good things about the place was the location and the fact that the receptionist was very nice and helpful.

We booked a balcony room, the “balcony” was barely bigger than the size of my foot, not worth the upgrade at all. The room was clean and got cleaned daily. A little sketchy checking in as you need to go through 3 locked doors (unlocked with a key fob) an elevator with a key code, and then a normal key to get into your room. Much, much different than a hotel. With that being said, the staff was super friendly and nice and the owner did give us some really good recommendations for places to eat during our stay.

Wonderful stay in very clean and stylish, brand new and young B&B suites, complemented by a very friendly and relaxing atmosphere by the hosts and personnel. Very close to the city center of Catania, surrounded by lots of possible visit places. The suite was in perfect condition, very brightfully decorated enabling very welcome balance between work and relaxing during a work related stay. Breakfast was very healthy and wealthy, very cosy and friendly with other international guests... I am convinced I discovered a new \"perla di Catania\"!

Clean, comfortable and very convenient

We stayed at Palazzo Sisto for the final two days of our holiday in Sicily. As the name suggests the accommodation is contained within part of a former Palazzo, very conveniently located in the centre of Catania. Palazzo Sisto is on the top floor and accessed via numerous flights of a grand marble staircase, whilst your luggage is hoisted from the courtyard below. We were met by a vivacious receptionist who was very helpful. The rooms are modern, well equipped and immaculately presented. Parking is a bit of an issue. For security reasons we elected to use the secure parking recommended at 15 euro per night. On reflection it would have been better to return the car to the airport two days earlier. Breakfast is from 8:30 until 10:00 with a very good selection of sweet and savoury choices. There was no breakfast provided on the second day as we needed to leave by 07:30 to retrieve the car, load the luggage and fill up with fuel before arriving at the airport. We were unable to use vouchers provided for a local cafe as this would have required an even earlier start. The food at the nearby restaurant Trattoria Giglio Rosso was excellent, the house wine probably best avoided. Overall we would highly recommend Palazzo Sisto, although we should have clarified the parking situation before we booked.

Very friendly staff

Nice B&B in the heart of Catania. Most area attractions are within walking distance. The staff was EXTREMELY friendly and helpful. The room was very clean/comfortable and the maid service was top notch. The only negative thing about this place is they are located up several flights of stairs and have not yet installed a lift (they will be installing one soon). They do have a hoist to pull your bags up so overall it’s not too bad. I just would not recommend the place to anyone who has issues climbing stairs. For everyone else, I HIGHLY recommend this place. The hospitality from the hosts cannot be beat.

Über Innenhof und Lift gelangt man in den obersten Stock, wo sich die Rezeption und die 6 total renovierten Zimmer befinden: modern, komfortabel, ruhig!

Einmal und nicht wieder!

Rezeption war nicht besetzt, obwohl angeblich von 8-22h jemand da sein sollte. Als telefonisch jemand erreicht werden konnte, war der erste Satz, warum man sich nicht vorher gemeldet hätte. Die angebotene Reservierung für das Dinner hat nicht geklappt. Insgesamt wirkte alles sehr unprofessionell und chaotisch. Gepäck konnten wir , da Abreise um 07:00h in der Früh selber aus dem dritten Stock runterschleppen, da der provisorische Aufzug fürs Gepäck nicht selber bedient werden kann. Kommentar runter ist es ja nicht so schwer wie hoch. :-( Das Zimmer war sehr modern und die Betten sehr bequem. Leider auch sehr hellhörig. Da abends an der Rezeption dann auch nach 23h laut geredet wird, fällt es schwer einzuschlafen.

Accoglienza Super!

La struttura è veramente bella, tanto da averla confusa con un hotel !
Infatti non mi ero posto il problema di dover arrivare a notte inoltrata e l'ho scoperto solo quando la gent.ma Monica mi ha contattato la mattina prima per sapere l'orario del mio arrivo.
La disponibilità e l'accoglienza della Signora e di Sua figlia, hanno reso ancora più piacevole il breve soggiorno.
Consiglio a tutti la struttura per l'assoluta centralità (piazza duomo dista a soli 3/400m) ma sopratutto - ripeto - per l'accoglienza.

Fantastisk B&B hotell

Et flott og utrolig hyggelig design B&B hotell beliggende i hjertet av den historiske delen av Catania. Flotte rom og smarte løsninger. Alt er nytt og topp moderne. Hotellet ligger i 5.etg. i et gammelt bygg og kan være litt vanskelig å finne. Det finnes ingen heis og hotellet er således ikke egnet for funksjonshemmede.
