Loved this hotel. Staff was excellent. We rented a car, so the valet was great being able to pull up right in front of the hotel, drop the car off there, and they parked it for us and got it for us each day. Great location, walking distance to many of the Catania sites.
We had a wonderful stay at Palace Catania. The location on Via Etnea couldn’t be better, with everything in the city just a short walk away. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were consistently warm, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good & the staff was excellent. Awesome view of Mt. Etna from the rooftop & our room. A great choice for anyone visiting Catania.
Rooms were beautifully appointed and very clean and quiet. The breakfast buffet was diverse with a wide choice of foods and plenty of tables. THe front desk was very helpful in arranging my airport transfer and getting my account straightened out. Beautiful hotel with beautiful seervice and excellent staff.
We loved everything about this hotel. The desk set us up with a driver Francesco, who was amazing!!! The room was spacious, very clean and the staff was friendly. The roof top restaurant was a big plus
Catania is a gritty city but the Palace Catania is a beautiful Oasis in a Sicilian rock and room urban environment. I strongly recommend this hotel for those who love comfort, convenience, wonderful staff, in a delicious urban setting.
The location of the property was perfect. Very easy access to local shopping and restaurants. The hotel was very clean and the rooms were spacious. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend staying here.
This is a great option for a mid range hotel conveniently located for touring in Rome. Al the amenities were wonderful as was the staff. It is near the subway and in a quiet neighborhood it has an excellent breakfast and a full dinning room. I will recommend to all my friends.
Just stayed the evening before my flight from Catania airport back home. Located close to airport with parking (25 euro charge) which is fine considering how challenging it is to park in downtown Catania (& its valet!!)
