Nice property has all the facilities and station and centre are all walking distance. Just bare in mind that if your staying there on a weekend that there is a festival going on until 12am in the nearby park.

Room was amazing with great service by the host. However mosquitoes are the issue and they can shorten your good night sleep.

Best place to stay in Catania. Wonderful service, view to Etna and over the city from the balconies. Close to everything. Bus to the airport - Alibus- leave right in front of the building. Remember to contact the owner before arrival.

Nice owner. Perfect place for a short stay( I stayed one night). Not a ton of amenities but has the basics. Only problem is the WiFi does t work consistently which is a problem if your an international visitor.

I had a fantastic little room with a balcony and a very kind and caring host. Đąhere was a lovely view of Etna from the breakfast room. The only problem was the neighbour's dog (the hotel is on one floor in an apartment building) which kept barking, even through the night.

I loved this place!! The location is perfect. It's near all the main sites. The room was super clean. The bed was comfortable. Carmelo was a great host!! He's a very nice man. Just right outside the entrance is the bus stop to the airport. The breakfast was simple but very good. I would definitely stay here again. I hope to return in the future.

Owner is very friendly but speaks no English. We were able to communicate with Google translate. Room was great and I had a perfect view of Mt. Etna. Breakfast was not the best. Owner's son asked us what we wanted for breakfast the next day but did not give us what we asked for. Wifi did not work in all the rooms. Hotel is in a great location

The host was very friendly and tried to help. He had minimal English so used a translator on his phone. The property was not where it was shown on hotels.com. Instead of being on the square by the metro it was about a quarter of a mile away from the location listed in the direction away from the city center. It did have a bus stop outside the door.

Det kÀndes som att man kommit hos nÀra slÀkting . VÀrd var otrolig hjÀlpsam med allt, frÄn och med att vÀnta pÄ oss vid bus stationen vid ankomst tom att lÀmna lÀgenhetsnycklar till oss for att hÀmta vÄr baggage vid avgÄng. Vi kunde sjÀlv bestÀma vad vill vi Àta för frukost och han ordnade detta. Rumet och badrumet var rena bekvÀma och i utmÀrkt skick sÀng bekvÀmt ,en tjusigt balkong med utsikt mot Vesuvio . LÀgenheten finns pÄ huvudgsta i Catania men det Àr lungt pÄ kvÀllen. Rekomenderas hjÀrtlig.

Wir waren gern hier zu Gast. Das FrĂŒhstĂŒck war ausgezeichnet.
4-night trip

4/10

Papali 289 befindet sich in einem hinteren Abteil des Hauses. Es ist kein Klingelschild, noch sonstige Information zu lesen. Erst auf Nachfrage wurden wir in einen dunklen Flur gebeten, um mit einem sehr alten und fragwĂŒrdigen Aufzug in die 5. Etage zu fahren. Das Treppenhaus war ebenfalls sehr dunkel und schmutzig. Die Unterkunft war zwar sauber und modern eingerichtet. Der Sohn des Besitzers, welcher sich um das Organisatorische und FrĂŒhstĂŒck kĂŒmmert, sorgte jedoch fĂŒr einen nicht empfehlenswerten Aufenthalt. Als wir ankamen sagte man uns, dass wir kein FrĂŒhstĂŒck gebucht hatten. Erst nach viel Überzeugungsarbeit glaubte man uns schließlich. Am nĂ€chsten Morgen erhielten wir zwei kleine Croissants und ein HeißgetrĂ€nk. Auf Nachfrage am nĂ€chsten Morgen auch etwas Herzhaftes wie Brot oder Aufschnitt zu bekommen wurde mit Protest bejaht. So erhielten wir an den darauffolgenden Tagen ein Brötchen, wenige Scheiben KĂ€se, Butter und ein Croissant. Er bereitete es sehr langsam zu und reagierte auf Nachfragen stets genervt und unhöflich. Am Abreisetag verlangte er die Tax wĂ€hrend des FrĂŒhstĂŒcks, obwohl darum gebeten wurde es anschließend in Ruhe zu klĂ€ren. Er schaute durchgehend Videos, sprach kaum englisch, versuchte nicht Informationen zu beschreiben oder zu ĂŒbersetzen und ließ uns warten. Insgesamt waren die RĂ€umlichkeiten der Unterkunft zwar modern gestaltet, der Service und Umgang jedoch unmenschlich und nicht empfehlenswert.

Nothing special. It was very difficult to figure out where to go once we were inside the building. No indication whatsoever. Luckily another customer saw us (we looked lost with our suitcases) and told us to go to the 5th floor. A lot of mosquitoes!!!

Owner is very friendly and goes above and beyond to help. Space was sufficient and clean, conveniently located. Elevators onsite so no need to carry your luggage through stairwells. This B&B doesn’t have any signage but upon arrival the owner showed up and brought us to the correct floor and helped us get settled in.
