The rooms are very old, shabby and neglected. It is a big pity. All carpets are absolutely horrible, dirty, smelly and not cleaned for a long time. You find hair, food pieces and some plastic on them. It was once a nice hotel but now even the smell is challenging. I bought a room fragrance, a perfumed candle and wardrobe sticks to handle this situation. It was in room 5B. Other rooms have a bit better smell. You will have to ventilate a lot.
Last but not least the biggest bed alis a queen size and not a king size bed as promised on the hotels.com website. And this all was extremely disappointing.

The staff were nice. The room was clean but could replace the carpet, no TV. The breakfast was basic, the cornos tasted great. They have a taxi deal $25 euro flat rate to the airport, which was better than Uber. Located across from a large park which i found interesting. About a 10 minute walk down hill brings you to a major shopping/walking area.

We liked the central location, we could get to iconic places on foot and that was great. B&B itself unfortunately disappointing. Breakfast was lacking any variety, practically only sweet options. No veggies and only apples and bananas available. Cleanliness of the room seemed questionable . I’m sure we had ants in our room as my daughter left covered in bites and I killed few myself at night. Staff quite friendly and helpful although impossible to get in touch with the place prior to arrival.

Room was excellent with plenty of space. It was comfortable and overlooked Giardini Bellini. There was a Lidl supermarket on the corner. Breakfast was exceptional with fresh filled cornetti, yhoghurts, ham and cheese and your coffee and juices. Damien the front desk host was very informative and helpful. We would recommend this location.

Shame about the condition of the room. Shower floor and toilet seat need urgent care.

We woke up covered in bites from head to toe, not sure if its mosquitos or bed bugs.

Short stay in Catania

It was a short stay, but I would stay longer next time. Hotel is on the excelent area, close to park, close to shoping and restaurant area, staff was so helpfull. It was clean, quiet. We didn't need car to visit the city, just a short walk. Rooms are very, very small. Maybe good for solo traveler, but it was tihgt for 2. Anyway, I recomend this hotel to anyone.

Good location to explore Catania. Damian was wonderful with a good sense of humour.

Parking in front of the hotel was a bit of a challenge but possible especially after 9pm.

Room was fairly spacious with comfortable chairs, plenty of decent storage furniture, range of lighting and a large comfortable bed. Also has a mosquito blind, double and secondary glazing and an electrically operated blackout shutter.
We didn't like that the room is gloomy during daytime as the trees from the park overshadow the rooms, that the AC is incredibly difficult to understand and that the accommodation is really b&b, there being no public areas for relaxation. The breakfast is a bit limited, sweet filled and plain croissants fruit yoghurts and a little ham and cheese. Coffee and tea were not very good.
The receptionist/attendant spoke English, smiled and was helpful but came across as a little surly. When ordering a taxi for us to the airport he seemed confident in the price, availability and time off arrival but when it came to it the taxi was 25 minutes late and charged 30eu rather than the 22 we were advised. Traffic was the explanation but it didn't seem any busier than usual and the journey time was as advised, about 20 minutes.
The position is good though, next to the pleasant park, close to via Etna and the botanical gardens and in a reasonable neighborhood.

Perfect for someone out site-seeing all day and just wants a clean, secure and easily accessible place to lay your head at night. I can't tell you how nice it is to just walk to your hotel with your luggage and not have to catch another train, taxi, or other form of transportation - especially if you have been travelling for a while and just want convenience. Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was nice with new renos.

This hotel is in an excellent location and really the room, a single was to a 4 star standard. They waited for me to check in as I was delayed, lent me a phone charger, good breakfast with custom coffee. Amazing Value for the price. Will definitely be back. 5 star review from me.

I´ll start positive; the location is great; it is next to the park and very close to the old city center. Also, the bed was really comfortable, and the wi-fi connection worked well. But the room was full of mosquitoes and mold on the ceiling. This prevents me from giving a positive rating. Check-in is only available until 5 p.m.; we had to change our plans because of this, which is not a very pro-customer approach.

This hotel needs a total overhaul. The carpets are soiled and the bedspread was stained. This property is not in a good location. It is on the wrong side of the park and parking is very far away. There was no one there to greet us - we checked out and moved to another location.

City Hall was a very nice B&B during our 2 nights in Catania. Damiano provided us with sumptuous breakfasts with meat, cheese, cereal, fresh fruit and magnificent pastries. He also helped smooth over a reservation error I had made and printed out some reservations that we needed for the next step in our journey. We are grateful for his help.

The property is in a nice part of Catania, with wider streets than some of the older parts of town. It is across the street from a large urban park. There is a grocery store in the same block, and you will get a good tour of Catania coming and going from the town square.

Our room was large and well[-appointed. CNN would have been nice on the television

The room rate was reasonable.

This could be so much better

Nice central location next to a park, rooms are in principle very attractive and clean although in need of maintenance. Service seemed grumpy: it was impossible to contact the hotel through email, phone, website and hotels.com to request early check-in. Turning up at the advertisers time of 4pm there still want anyone to let me in although someone did turn up rather reluctantly within 7 minutes of calling the posted number. Service was monosyllabic and grumpy. Breakfast only from 8am. There was an extensive paint spillage on the carpet in the corridor. Double glazed windows work well to insulate sound from a noisy road, but it was a choice between opening a window (instant traffic roar and mosquitoes) or hot and stuffy room (air con not working). Wobbly and grungy shower head, bedside lamp fixture dangling from the wall.

Hotellin sijainti oli erinomainen. Kävelymatkan päässä kaikista nähtävyyksistä. Hotelli itsessään oli kovin pieni ja kaipaisi hieman remonttia, mutta henkilökunnan ystävällisyys ja palvelualttius paikkasi pienet puutteet. Aamupala tuntui pieneltä, mutta loppujen lopuksi oli täysin riittävä. Suosittelen lämpimästi.

L'ambiente è trascurato in generale, in particolare la pulizia della camera e del bagno è inesistente. Il personale disponibile non può compensare il disagio che ho provato trovando un ambiente così sporco. Tale standard mi ha dissuaso anche dalla consumazione della colazione, mi sono limitata ad una tazza di latte. Vado frequentemente a Catania, la posizione di questa struttura sarebbe stata molto comoda per me ma MAI PIU' .

Buffeten kan forbedres med få tiltag.

Morgenmad var det hvide brød og croissanter fra den Lidl der lå lige om hjørnet. Ikke godt når man har diabetes.
