A charming modern boutique hotel in an old factory building. Convenient to main sites. Helful staff. Good breakfast. Nice shaded outside terrace for relaxing out of the sun.

This hotel is a little gem in the middle of Catania. The staff are professional, helpful and made us feel special. Hotel has interesting modern design, our room was huge. Breakfast was excellent. It maybe difficult to find it at first, our recommendation is to go to the exact address: #29. Thank you for making our stay in Catania so special.

Hotel w świetnej lokalizacji. Przemiła obsługa :) Zameldowano nas ponad godzinę wcześniej. Pokój bardzo duży, wygodne łóżka. Pyszne śniadanie z wyborem słono-słodkim. Bardzo polecam jako bazę wypadową do zwiedzania Katanii!

Brilliant find
We only stayed one night, but would definitely go back to Habitat hotel, and recommend it to others. It's a convenient short walk to the main cathedral piazza. Our room was spotless and we enjoyed a comfortable and quiet night's sleep. Stylish and friendly, if you're in Catania, check this place out.

Tour of Sicily
The hotel and services were good. The surrounding area although within walking distance of many historic sites and city Center needs to be cleaned up. I’m sure at some point the Massimo Teatro square was a hot spot in Catania, however it is now run down and most people transit through the area to get from place to place.

Hotel felt like a hostel. No tea or coffee facilities in the room or at least 2 bottles of complimentary water. Breakfast was a strange set up with sharing tables and staff constantly buzzing around the food (refilling) which was not relaxing. Rooms were clean but dark.

Habitat was. Dry pleasant however, based on the price we would have expected a little more comfort items. A kettle with tea/coffee in the room would have been welcome. For a hotel hosting many international travellers the tv offered Italian channels only.

this place is a scam, the day we arrived to the airport there were last min airline strikes for Italy, we asked to re-book for the next wkend, we sent the flight cancel conf and they said "no, not out problem, your problem"...this is where the mafia in Catania operate, if you like your money then don't give it to them, them will asume it and you, there are many better places and many better people to spend your money with, not these theives and crooks.

There were multiple problems with Habitat. First, we were given an attic room on the 4 th floor, The room was horribly designed. There were no windows, the shower was across from the bed so that when you used it the room filled with moisture. The room lacked a closet. It contained 2 cheap luggage racks and a rail to hang clothes on next to the bed. What made the room really terrible was that 5 of the lights in the room were not working. This included the 3 lights in the room itself, the light in the toilet room and the light in the shower. We talked to the man at the desk about the situation and he said that he would do something about the light situation. Nothing happened. We complained about the lack of light the next morning to the woman at the desk, enumerating the dead light bulbs. She said that she would address the problem.Still later that day nothing had been fixed and we spent the evening in the room in the dark. We left the hotel the next morning. This was the worst hotel experience I have ever had. We spent two weeks in Sicily and every other hotel we had stayed in had been lovely.

The plus for this property is the helpful and courteous staff and the fabulous breakfast. However, they cannot make up for an ill conceived layout and difficult key system. For example, the outlet for the hairdryer was so far from the mirror that you could not see yourself in the mirror while drying your hair. The modern shower looks stylish and has good water pressure, but the water overflows if you take more than a short shower. The overall layout is just awkward. The location is convenient. For the money, they should do better.

Excellently located although a subtle sign makes it not the easiest to find. Loved the modern room within an old building. Breakfast was excellent and also had an evening meal which was great. From a personal perspective didn't like bathroom set up of frosted glass and sink kind of in the bedroom. I was travelling with a female friend so made things slightly awkward! Would recommend as a good choice in central Catania
