Was happy about the sea view room we selected. Loved watching the sunrise in the morning. Comfortable room and helpful staff. Breakfast was good, although it would have been better if they opened up before 7:30.

Lovely hotel along the sea. Free breakfast was fabulous. Seaside platform right across the street with access to water was 20 euro but well worth it. Great restaurants nearby. I would live there if I could!

The hotel is in a good location. We had rooms with wonderful views of the water. The beach is across the street. There is a parking lot two blocks away so that worked for us. We had a good dinner in the hotel and would recommend it and the views are great

The location is spectacular, situated directly across from the sea, which provides a wonderful dining experience with a great view. The rooms are modestly appointed. However, parking is a significant issue, as it is only available on the street and finding a parking space can be quite frustrating. While I would likely dine there again for the views and food, I would not choose to stay there due to the parking situation. Although the website mentions a parking garage, it was not offered during our stay because of lack of availability.

We had a de luxe room on the 4th floor and the view to the sea was great,the bathroom has a whirlpool bath and a rain shower, the bed was a kingsize bed. We had breakfast included with deliciious cakes and pastries, egg, salad, ham, scrambled eggs, fruits, .... The staff at reception were very nice and helpful. Above the street there is a plateau with sunbeds and parasols from which you can step into the sea, for guests this costs 15 euros per day, 1 towel per person included. We stayed for 6 nights and really enjoyed the stay. We asked for a transfer from and to the airport, everything went well. A bus stop to Catania is about 5 minutes away.

Absolute gem of a hotel

This was both mine and my friends first time in Sicily so we had no idea what to expect. But what a delightful surprise this hotel was. The staff were all incredibly friendly, super helpful and always went out of their way to make you feel comfortable. We had drinks nearly every night at the beautiful terrace bar which has an amazing view over the ocean and on our last night, we had dinner there as well which was fantastic! There was live music and the food was incredible! The room was lovely. We had two single beds in a room that over looked the bar next door and the ocean so we were very lucky. Being that close to the bar next door was a concern but the noise wasnt bad at all, we slept well every night! Plenty of space in our room, bathroom was nice and plenty of wardrobe space. My only suggestion would be to have some chairs out on the balcony so people can soak in that view!! Would definitely recommend this hotel and would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you!
