The hotel is conveniently located right at the center of Catania, making it easy to explore the area and grab a bite to eat. The rooms are spacious and clean, which is great for comfort. I really appreciated the great breakfast spread. However, the noise from the busy street could be quite overwhelming at times.

My stay at this hotel was quite enjoyable, thanks to its fantastic location right in the center of town. The rooms were spacious and surprisingly quiet despite being on a busy street. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making my check-in seamless and even assisting with parking. However, while the value for money was great, the dining options, specifically breakfast, could use some improvement for a more varied selection.
