The staff at the front desk and restaurant were amazing and tried very hard to make our stay memorable. Our dissatisfaction with the hotel was that the air conditioning did not work and the pool was closed. We booked this hotel because of both these features. Our room was very nice but uncomfortable because of the temperature. The manager had a fan delivered to our room and that helped a bit but not enough. The restaurant food was amazing so that was a plus.

Good morning. Thanks for choosing us. Your opinion is very important to us. We are very sorry that he could not fully enjoy our services due to the failure of the air conditioning diffuser in his room and that he had to give up the swimming pool service due to the provisions of the port authorities that do not allow the opening of the systems beyond the established dates. We hope to visit you again and invite you to always consult our offers.

Absolutely avoid! 1. Both nights there was a party with a DJ playing extremely loud music well after midnight. Regardless of the many calls to reception, nothing was done. 2. I was severely beaten by bed bugs (pictures). The hotel played stupid and asked me if I speak French. Avoid at all costs. I had to throw out my clothes and deal with bites all over my body. Absolutely disgusting

Thank you for choosing our structure. Your opinion is very important to us. The hotel is located on the seafront of Catania, a very popular tourist area, especially in summer and with many entertainment events. We regret that he did not like the proposed shows. He probably should have chosen a more pleasant destination and not a tourist resort on the sea frequented by people who want to have fun. The presence of insects of any nature does not appear in the rooms of our structure. We invite you to remember and review other places in which it has been.

The pool and beach club were good. The sea view room was good, but the room fixtures were dark and old fashioned. There was no light on our balcony. Toiletries were rarely replenished, unless you asked for more. The breakfast was exactly the same every single day.....no change from lukewarm scrambled eggs every day. There's no info in the hotel for people on holiday besides a leaflet for Etnaland. And we were given incorrect info about the local bus services (there's more than just the 534 service). It's 2miles to the cathedral....walkable, yes, but a long way when its very hot.... The area by the pool is used almost every night for parties which are noisy and continued after midnight on most occasions. This means rooms with a sea view are very noisy until very late. For what it provided, this was a pretty expensive hotel that was really not what we'd expect from a 4* rating.

Pleasant hotel but some way from town centre
The Nettuno is a modern four star hotel catering for both business and holidays. We booked a superior room with balcony and sea view. The room, although not particularly large, felt spacious because of the balcony and sea view. It was clean and very well serviced The only downside was the absence of any comfortable chairs indeed there was only one desk chair and none on the balcony. Two requests for chairs came to nothing so the fair sized balcony was obviously only for standing on. Little things can sometimes mean a lot. The hotel had an excellent swimming pool complete with lifeguard and was open from 10AM to 6.00PM. The breakfast was everything you would expect from this standard of hotel offering a full range of hot and cold breakfasts. There are two negatives, both concerning location. I should have noticed when booking that the hotel is a good 30 minute walk from the station (and we walk quickly) and another ten from the historic town centre. Given the difficulty parking in the centre of town this is important. The other downside is that there are very few places to eat in the area other than paninerias - most are in the town centre (40 minutes walk away). The hotel does have its’ own restaurant. If I was in Catania again would I stay here. Well maybe. The hotel itself is pretty decent and offered very good value but I might go for somewhere closer to the town centre.

Thank you for choosing us. Your opinion is very important to us. We are sorry for the inconvenience related to the chairs and the table in the balcony. Usually all rooms with balconies have 2 chairs and 1 table. As for the distance from the historical center it is to say that every 20 minutes pass the buses and the stop is located in front of the hotel. We hope to see you come back to our hotel again. Always consult our offers.Arrivederci.

Fabulous locatiin with free, offstreet, safe parking.

Excellent breakfast with fresh aqueezed orange juice, espresso machine and tons of hot, cold and gluten free foods to choose from. Beds clean, huge rooms and nice staff. I was able to check in early for free and check out is 12! Thank you!

Very helpful staff good breakfast
We booked a deluxe sea view room which was on the third floor- the room size, bed and bathroom are very good, unfortunately as we went in April the air conditioning couldn't be switched on (we asked at reception ) until later in the year so was hot at night time. Also above our room on the fourth floor was an 'events room' which after the events had finished late at night and needed to be cleaned we had an hour of chairs/tables being dragged across the floor for an hour -not ideal at 11.30pm! Also we were told that the pool wouldn't be opening until June and the 'beach area' was being refurbished. The staff were very nice and extremely helpful and the breakfast very good.

Good morning. Thank you for your review. The activation of the air conditioning does not depend on the structures but on the Laws of the state that regulate the periods of operation. It is not possible to activate the pal facilities outside the periods provided for by the Law. We are sorry for the noises coming from the event hall that have disturbed his sleep. If in the future he will still honor us with his presence, we will find a way to make us forgive. We look forward to welcome Guest.

Good and clean, but noisy!
Good personal, veery clean (cleaned daily and thoroughly), excellent sea&town view,bad location-far from the center and bearing in mind the HORRIBLE public transport it was real problem to see or visit anything. Breakfast was good, the wi-fi was very bad, and the private beach was excellent. The room sound protection was average, regarding the inside noises, but a real noisy problem were the by-the-pool parties that were very loud and sometimes lasted till 12 P.M (i think that the management didn`t care for the guest comfort regarding this matter) and the near amusement park with it`s music(noises) and people screams which were so irritating(although the glass on the balcony door was more-less soundproof). The best thing was the next door Pasticceria Cioccolatto with the best non-diet :) things inside, including one of the best gelato I have eaten.

Hotel by busy main road and funfair
We stayed one night and had paid extra for balcony and sea view. This was view across very busy main road to sea so didn't use balcony. Funfair located one end of hotel. Noise reached maximum with wedding party having disco by outdoor pool which didn't end until midnight. Seal on balcony doors worn away so noise levels equivalent to radio located in room. Hotel in delapidated state - carpets soiled and worn. Bathroom grouting blackened with age. Rooms clean, wooden floors in rooms fine, beds comfortable. Breakfast reasonably good. Did not think accommodation accorded with star rating. Overall, cannot recommend to others.

Staff were smiley and helpful but the hotel is next to a busy main road and the traffic noise is constant. Also in the empty lot next door there is a fun fair that is quite noisy. The beds are very hard but the room service is great and the whole hotel was relatively clean. Not suitable for very small children as there is no beach just straight to the sea.There is a great sunbathing area next to the sea and the lifeguards are good and do not let people hog all the sun beds.

Please think carefully....
The only good thing about this Hotel is the swimming pool. Think carefully before you decide if you want the following, dirty water coming from the taps in your bathroom, staff who are indifferent to your welfare, dirty tablecloths every morning at breakfast, no tea /coffee making facilities in the room even though it is a" superior" room, terrible seating area for the outside "bar". Nothing good here, just think carefully.

Comfy holiday base
The hotel was a spritely half hor walk fromthecentre of the city affording good vierws of the Med en route. Many local ammenities and large choice of restaurants. The hotel was well maintained, although some wooden furniture in the room was slightly damaged. However, the communial areas were of a high standard includeing a tunnel under the road to a small private pier down to the sea staffed by the hotel. The hotel breakfast had many alternative, but variety did not change fromday to day. Tried one evening meal in the hotel, which was ok, but not imnspiring. Mainly lacked atmosphere in the evening restaurant as most people chose ot eat out. All modes of transport available although taxis are particualry expensive in Sicily. Using this hotel as a base we were able to visit many excitring places near and far with ease optimising travel between walking, trains, buses and taxis
