Marina Palace Hotel & Congress Hall

We had a horrible experience! We arrived at around 20.30 and were greeted in the parking by the manager. We were informed that the lift was not working and were escorted to the reception through the service door. We paid for our stay (2 nights) and immediately we were informed that the AC was not working. Of course this was a problem for us as it was a heatwave. They insisted on showing us the room as they were convinced that once we would see the room we would decide to stay. The room's décor was outdated and extremely hot so we were offered a room at a nearby hotel for the first night until the AC was fixed. We were informed that we were the only guests which felt very weird but understandable given the state of the so called hotel. The manager offered us a junior suite with sea view due at the other hotel due to the inconvenience and invited us back at the Marina hotel the next night as the AC would have been fixed by then. We were assured that this other hotel was accessible on foot however it turned out to be 25 minutes away on foot which is not as close as we told. We struggled to find this other hotel as it was in the middle of nowhere not in the center where we wished to stay. We checked in at this hotel and were then shown to our room which was in a state of complete disrepair. The next day we left Aci Trezza and found another hotel as we did not want to return to Marina Hotel. Wasted money, stay away!!

La squisita accoglienza ed uno staff premuroso! Ci siamo sentiti a casa. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Ci viene voglia di tornarci presto!

Could not control air cond...thus room was uncomfortable . Requested at main desk for adjustment, still did not work. Floors not clean.

The hotel building and rooms are good. Spacious, clean with a good maid service. It doesn't offer 4 star service. The reception staff are lovely but hopeless. They could not help with trips and didn't even know that there was a bus service with a stop outside the hotel to Catania. They made no attempt to provide gluten free and dairy free products for us despite my requesting it on the booking and subsequently when we were there...which really isn't good enough as these things are available from the little supermarket in the same street. The buffet breakfast was sad, limited and repetitive -certainly not 4 star...and we had to provide our own. The car park below should be free for guests. Once again I got conflicting information from reception about paying for it. One person said I could pay at the end of my stay at check out, another said I had to pay the man in the car park...and final settlement of car park and local tax had to be in cash? Is this a 4 star hotel or a street trader? Not able to use credit card. Absurd. Overall poor service from what could be a lovely hotel. Need to sharpen their act with respect to guests needs and be more helpful about local knowledge and improve the food on offer.

This hotel has provided us a very friendly and warm welcome throughout our business stay. The hotel is very central, so you will find lots of amazing coastline, restaurants and cafes and gelato spots, at a walk from your room! In five minutes walk you'll enjoy the Faraglioni dei Ciclopi view, an amazing place! It is a 4 star at a very convenient price, so if you're looking for luxurious furniture and gourmet kitchen this is not the place, you will simply need to spend quite more, in farer locations.

Tutto bene a parte la colazione un po’ deludente

Nice room but regarding services specily breakfast not much choice on the table and we asked for hot drink in the morning but person in charge could not make simple capicciono

Ottima struttura! A pochi passi dal mare. Rapporto prezzo/qualità ottimo!

Struttura idonea al solo pernottamento, sprovvista di qualsiasi attività di intrattenimento.

Super hotel dans un village super charmant à recommander pour un voyage à catane excursions organisés par l'hôtel
