Benedettini - Suites

As we were there for the first time we took the location under consideration and the location at this stay was very convenient because it was not too far from central Catania. The view was absolutely beautiful as well.

The management or owners were very unapologetic about the lack of hygiene in the accommodation. Toilet tissue was out in the bathroom with no paper or plastic covering ….appearing to have been used by the previous tenant. The cup in the bathroom was full of grunge. I washed from the previous …many months of dirt build up. They didn’t take the time to prepare to have guests after having a tenant for 6 months. When I pointed out the disappointment of the walls being filthy, etc., the response was that it wasn’t his fault since they had a tenant for 6 months this winter… So, was it the tenants fault for not doing paint touch ups….there should have been a waiver stating that the apartment was filthy from the 6 month tenant and they have no intention of cleaning or doing paint touch ups until November until all the paid guests have come and gone. The only highlight was the view….but it came at a huge cost….tour buses, trucks and bumper to bumper traffic for all hours beginning from early morning. I have travelled the world extensively for many years and this place in good conscience I could not recommend.

Great location and price. Walking distance to most of the city landmarks and tours. Rooms are a fair size but washroom is a bit small. Friendly staff were always in contact and made sure our stay was good!

Bathroom too small

A functional and clean apartment in a shady but centrally located area. It was fine for one night, but do not expect much luxury, it is rather basic.

Excellent place for a few days in Catania. Easy walk to centre and a great coffee shop/bar in the square outside the property. Would highly recommend. Only downside was the noise from the street was a bit loud into the night so may not suit those who struggle to sleep with road noise.

To call this a place a “Palace” is extremely misleading to say the least!!! -No wine opener. We had to find a restaurant to open our bottle of wine. -Wine glasses were dirty. -I had to wash them. -No napkins or paper towels. - Sponge under the sink was old and used. -My husband had to get up on a chair to get the A/C working and to turn off. - photo below is the boarded up church across the street from the “palace” “Benedetti Palace” is one floor, three rooms of a large, large building - fortunately stairs were well lighted - very dark after you step through the “stable doors”

Local tranquilo, próximo aos principais monumentos. Hotel bonito de muito bom gosto e com todo conforto.

Convenient accommodation with contractless check-in. The location is on the outside of the main centre but it's still very close, 10 minutes walk. Opposite a lovely church/tower and had all the amenities we needed for our stay. Staff always responded to our questions on the expedia messages too so no issues.

This property is a fair walk from the main area of Catania. The host was friendly. If you are need to catch public transport to and from destinations I would not recommend staying in this area.
