Etnea suite 668

This is a quirky hotel, the room we had was old but has been properly modernised to make for a comfortable stay. One of the beds was a little too old and it certainly would not have been the place for a romantic trip away, unless you want the rest of the hotel to know about it! Generally though the room was good and even though it is on a busy road extremely quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast adequate and the hotel smart, comfortable and full of character. The only reason I would not rate the hotel higher is that it is a long way fron the key sites of Carania albeit they are easily reached by the regular local bus services.

disponibilité entière du personnel, chambres bien tenues m^eme si l'hotel est vieillot dans une rue facile d'accès par le bus et le métro: Nous étions 3 et nous sommes satisfaites toutes les trois, seul le petit déjeuner laissait un peu à désirer

Hotel carino, non pretenzioso. Camera spaziosa dai soffitti alti e ben illuminata. Non proprio centrale. Colazione semplice ma di qualità. il bagno lascia un po' a desiderare per pulizia ed età dei sanitari. Buono il servizio, personale cortese e, soprattutto, sorridente!

Downsides: Location - it's about 25-30 minutes walk from the main tourist sites and squares of Catania, so not very convenient if you're visiting as a tourist (better if you're up for figuring out buses - we did eventually but they're patchy on public holidays). Walls are quite thin, we heard a lot of noise from other guests. Upsides: Reception staff were friendly and spoke good English, they helped us book a taxi to the station. Building and rooms have a nice old character feel (ours had a very high ceiling). Fairly cheap relative to other hotels we looked at in Catania. But overall we'd prefer to spend a bit more and stay closer to the centre if we returned.

firstly to say that neither my wife nor i have exacting standards when it comes to holiday accomodation- not snobbish at all. but: depressing location. couldn't open shutters 'cos of proximity to slum. usual uninterested reception (certainly you must not travel to sicily in search of human warmth, nor even much basic civility). 'palazzo' was probably, at some stage, not a profoundly ironic name for this buiilding. breakfast was only moderately poor. room was very clean (also something you CAN rely upon from sicilian accomodation. navigation to dead centre of town is easy - just straight down via etnea - and not too far (or TOO scary). in sum: this is not a hotel. it is poorly equipped, badly in need of refurbishment (it's so dark!) and anyway located in an area suitable only for a hostel (where punters younger than me might actually enjoy the rather basic grafitti tagging visible from their 'window', just across the escalator down to the metro

Etablissement éloigné du centre ville mais proche du métro et du bus. Environnement bruyant. Accueil cordial et multilingue. Chambre spacieuse à plafond peint et décoré. Wifi gratuite et dans la chambre. Parking dans la rue.

Would recommend it to all

attention le metro ne fonctionne pas le dimanche a Catenia

Il soggiorno breve effettuato presso la struttura è stato sicuramente comodo e confortevole, da segnalare, il personale disponibile e gentile.

照着LONELY PLANET的推荐，正好有空房就订了。 布置装饰有很多惊喜，老旧的长椅，牛车轮..都构成了宾馆的特色，躺在床上，可以看到高高地艺术画屋顶。出门进门自己将钥匙放到reception即可，大厅和休息室布置的也很温馨，有很多有助旅行的小册子可以随手取用。 缺点，只有一个人有时晚上有事找不到人，早饭很简陋
