"We stayed here for 4 nights in May 2022. Luna & Salvo we’re great hosts. They were very accommodating and attentive to all our needs. The location of Plebis B&B is great, all main attractions within Catania are a short walk away. There is a secure car park 200m away (card & cash accepted) if needed. The continental breakfast was amazing, Luna & Salvo made sure we had everything we needed. Fresh pastries, breads, juices were delicious. The room was exceptionally clean and finished to a high...

Il Principe Hotel

8/10 Good

"A warm welcome from the amazingly helpful Roberta. Upgraded to a suite - v comfortable, excellent bed, and once I turned off the intrusive a/c a good night's sleep. Great breakfast, excellent coffee. A wonderful location too -- right where you want to be, and excellenr, affordable restos nearby. Just 15-20 mins from airport and amazingly helpful, thoughtful front desk. Don't rush off from the airport - spend a couple of days here getting to know Catania first."

UNA Hotels One Catania Wellness & SPA

8/10 Good

"Spa treatments were very useful after long days walking around But breakfast selection were very limited"

Romano House

8/10 Good

"Overall experience was very good. The suite was unusually decorated, large and clean. It was at the front of the hotel and there was some residual noise from the street. AC was good and housekeeping was efficient. It’s in a good location for Via Etna, Piazza Duomo and other spots and very close to a host of bars and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful when I needed to interact with them. The breakfast buffet was adequate but not in keeping with the style or ‘sense’ of the hotel. The restaurant struggled to keep with the demand of a lot of guests having breakfast at the same time. There was very little information about the services in the hotel. Nothing in the room or advertised around the hotel. The gym was very small."

Katane Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, secure. Friendly professional staff allowed us to check in early thank you. Comfortable clean room and bed. Crisp sheets/linens. Was expecting more Sicilian fare for breakfast, catered too much to North American diet. Not a deal breaker as delicious pasticceria on the street corner. Has so much potential as the courtyard is charming. Overall would recommend. Felt welcome and well looked after. Thank you!"

NH Catania Centro

10/10 Excellent

"The room was excellent. The location is perfect and all staff were very helpful with a particular shout out to Flavia who helped us on checkout. The rooftop restaurant is exceptional and worth going up for a drink at sunset if nothing else."
