All good, staff very helpful, everything spotless.
We really liked this hotel. It was spotlessly clean, quiet a nd with comfortable beds and we slept like logs. Staff very helpful and we appreciated the complimentary water and soft drinks. The location couldn't be better, right by via Etna - loved it, wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Hotel was good. Very close to shopping and dinning. Easy walk to many sights. We did have someone playing guitar and singing loud right outside room on street every night. Not hotels fault. Security is weak. Room key is skeleton key and WiFi is not secure. There is Lidl very close for water and groceries. Room has fridge.

I like the security. I like that they helped set up tours. I like that it is center City and walking distance to many sights and good shopping. I did not like no carpet in the room. I did not like no view of any kind (kept window closed). I did not like elevator stopped in between floors but I adapted.

It is an old building in the strolling and shopping area. Has an historical vibe for me. Room was simple but all ok. AC was great.

Pros - excellent location in the historic centre, comfortable bed, good AC
Cons - The triple room is a double bed and a single bed, not the advertised twin bed (and the receptionist wouldn’t even consider discussing it). Very basic hotel with a small room for the price. Elevator only takes you between floors, so you’ll want to avoid this hotel if you’re disabled or injured.
Basically does the job for a short stay, but overpriced for the quality that’s provided

Very accommodating service! I arrived late for check-in, but the staff set everything up to make it easy for me to get situated and rest. The reception area is lovely, with frescoes. Centrally located off Via Etnea, a very lively if somewhat chaotic shopping district that runs through the center of the city.

The front room ib the Baroque style is a total selling point.
The fact you have to check in by 10pm is a bit harder when on later flights. You need to arrange codes etc. That can be stressful to arrange.

The hotel is classical European. There was air conditioning throughout the suite and both rooms were beautiful. The suite had a small refrigerator with free water and juices. There was no microwave in the room but there are plenty of restaurants in the area. Both rooms had the most beautiful painted ceilings.
The shower was small but decent enough. The staff was also very efficient and pleasant.
If you are expecting American style hotel rooms with lots of amenities, this hotel is not for you. But if you want a classic Italian style hotel in a centrally located area, give this place a try.
