Guest Reviews

- Eleonora (10/5): - Centralissimo, gestione gentilissima e molto pulita. Ci ritornerò sicuramente.
- Jaime ivan (10/5): - Excelente .muy buen atencion y calidad de servicio . Buena ubicación Lo recomiendo!
- Giampietro (8/5): - Personale molto disponibile e grazioso. Ottima posizione al centro. Si sentono un po' troppo le molle del materasso. Buona la colazione.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Posizione ottima in centro pulizia ottima e personale molto gentile e disponibile
- Nina (6/5): - sijainti loistava mutta siisteydessä toivomisen varaa, äänieristys kehno, aamupalalla ei mitään tuoretta, eniten esillä ollut henkilökunnan jäsen ei osannut englantia
- Jaime ivan (10/5): Excelente! Mejor que un cinco estrellas .eficiente - Excelente!!! Mejor que un 5 estrellas. El dueño Sr. salvo y todo el,personal maravilloso. Muy buena atención. Buen desayuno
- Margherita (8/5): B&B in centro citta - Albergo in pieno centro città Mezzi di trasporto vicini
- George (10/5): Value for money - Good value for money hotel
- Pietro (10/5): - Hotel situato nel centro di Catania, molto ben curato e pulito. Personale sempre disponibile e cordiale. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.
- Susan Kent (2/5): Never Again ☹️ - Lever absolut KUN op til 1 Stjerne, som udelukkende skyldes beliggenhed! Sørgelig og skuffende oplevelse. Meget slidt og møg beskidt! Lamper fyldt med gammel støv! Toilettet lød som et fly toilet, når man tændte for vandhanen - og endnu værre, når man trak. Stod; “at hvis man puttede papir i toilettet”, og toilettet blev “ broken”, så skulle man selv erstatte det!?? Vi turde dernæst knap benytte det af samme årsag, da det var ved at stå af. Boede i rum nr. 1 ved siden af receptionen, hvor en Italiensk matrone sad privat og talte HØJLYDT med ejeren i timevis ved siden af vores dør fra tidlig morgenstunden, var ved at blive “ sindsyge”. Havde desuden bestilt 30 kvdm værelse og kunne knap komme rundt om sengen. Påtalte (også dette) for ejeren, som undskyldte med at sådanne værelser havde de ikke i Italien. Vi boede i byen i en uge og til samme pris pr. overnatning hos Rubens, som var klart det mindste værelse og dårligste standard
- Verified traveler (4/5): B&B dans des locaux Fantômes. - Il n'y avait personne à l'hôtel B&B à nôtre arrivee malgré le rdv pris par téléphone. Après 1,5h d'attente on a pu enfin rentrer puis aller garer la voiture à 800m de là.
- Roberta (10/5): - Beautiful art work by host's mother decorates the walls. The host and staff were most kind and very solicitous of my needs. I was completely happy with my stay here. Next time I will stay longer. Catsnia is an amazing city.
- Urlauber (4/5): Wenig u falsche kommunikation - Trotz 2facher Kontaktaufnahme zuvor keine Rückmeldung ob Parkplatz vorhanden, musste ich selbst erledigen. Falsche Info betr. Zeitpunkt des Frühstücks am Sonntag morgen. Zettelwust am Straßeneingang wen man wann wo anrufen soll, um reinzukommen. Straße wegen der Busse morgens sehr laut.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Hotel buono, ottima la posizione. - bellissima esperienza, hotel ottimo rapporto qualità -prezzo, personale gentile e disponibile. La mia camera molto grande e confortevole l'ho sempre trovata pulita, cambio giornaliero degli asciugamani. Lo consiglio vivamente, io ci tornerò.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice flat - The location is fantastic with everything around.
- Veronica (2/5): Doccia in compagnia... delle blatte. - SCONSIGLIATISSIMO! Pulizia della camera inesistente. Appena arrivati abbiamo trovato le lenzuola sporche, polvere in tutta la camera, cuscini con vistose macchie di saliva, il bagno in condizioni pietose, muffa ovunque, ma la cosa che più mi ha sconvolto sono state le blatte nella doccia, non sono neanche riuscita a lamentarmi con qualcuno in quanto non c’erano mai e se c’era qualcuno era Impegnato. La colazione non è con buffet ma nel bar sotto il b&b, il cornetto e cappuccino non erano buoni in più la ragazza era molto scortese. Al momento del check-out nessuno era presente abbiamo aspettato per un po’ ma poi ce ne siamo dovuti andare, abbiamo riposto le chiavi sul tavolo della holl e abbiamo lasciato il b&b. Unica nota positiva è la posizione, in pieno centro.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Muy bien ubicado, las instalaciones bien. La recepcionista nos llamó informando que si haciamos el check in después de las 19.30, habría un recargo de 10 euros, cuando en la confirmación de la reserva se indicaba que la hora final para hacer el check in eran las 20hs. A pesar de llegar antes de las 19.30, nos volvió a llamar para saber por donde estábamos. En el baño había una toalla usada y no había toallas de mano, al pedirlas nos trajo 2 (una de las cuales tenía manchas y un agujero del tamaño de una naranja), al reclamar nos dió una adecuada.
- MARCELINO (6/5): - Considero que el hotel Rubens es solo un gancho para atraer clientes y finalmente hospedarlos en departamentos particulares donde se comparten las habitaciones y no tienes servicio de limpieza o a quien reclamar si el aire acondicionado no funciona. Deberían ser honestos.
- Girolamo (10/5): - Si trova in pieno centro, pulizia eccezionale, ottima anche la colazione, accoglienza con molto disponibilità e gentilezza. Mi considero già un cliente avendo soggiornato di già due volte.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Tutto carino ma non ci tornerei.. poca disponibilità da parte di chi ci lavora.. all’arrivo stra stanca ho dovuto aspettare più di 40 min fuori con un valigione e dopo aver specificato sul sito l’orario di arrivo non trovo nessuno.. la pulizia ok.. la signora che ci lavora dentro si sforza ad essere « carina ». Il giorno dopo per un errore mio chiesi se potevo lasciare la stanza non pretendo che mi dicano di sì ma come mi ha risposto con quel tono che non mi è piaciuto molto.. boh
- Alex (8/5): Central Location - Our main host Teresa was lovely and welcoming even when we arrived outside of the usual checkin hours. Overall the hotel is good value for money. The breakfast is something to be desired but at the price point it is fair!
- Maria Rosária Vespe de (6/5): Razoável - A localização é muito boa, próxima aos principais pontos da cidade. O quarto é limpo, mas as paredes precisam de uma limpeza. Possui mobiliário velho. A cama faz barulho cada vez que se mexe. Pensei que era um hotel, mas é um B&B.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nous avons passé deux nuits dans cette hôtel. Elle est à 15-20 minutes à pieds de la station de train et de la station de bus qui nous mènent vers l’Etna. Personnel féminin de l’établissement très accceuillant et serviable, personnel masculin un peu trop insistant auprès des femmes. La chambre est spacieuse et très propre.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Für eine Nacht volkommen in Ordnung. Das WLAN funktionierte allerdings leider nicht.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The wifi does not work and hasn't worked for some time despite what is claimed. The young man that works in the afternoons is a bit rude while Stella is a pleasure.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Gute Lage - Das Hotel liegt direkt an der Via Etnea (Haupstrasse), somit nah an wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten und Shops, aber auch extrem viel Lärm in der Nacht, deshalb aufpassen, ob das Zimmer auf der Strassenseite liegt. Das Hotel selbst ist in einem alten Gebäude auf einer Etage untergebracht.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Leuk hotel in het hartje van de stad. - Kamerafspraak klopte niet. Vier-persoonskamer in plaatsvan 2x2 Prima opgevangen door zeer behulpzame receptioniste Goed ontbijt. Voor ons speciaal eerder geserveerd ivm vroege vlucht
- AndreaeGiovanna (8/5): Struttura centrale, strategica e di comodo impatto - Disponibilità e cortesia del personale; educazione, rispetto e serietà; la cameriera Stella è la numero 1!!!
- Sergio (10/5): Recomendado en Catania - Hotel excelente. Excelente atención del personal. Altamente recomendado
- Thrisianne (10/5): 10/10 - I would recommend this hotel. It is very central, found in Via Etnea which is the main street. It is close to all shops, restaurants and tourist attractions. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. The only downside is that the internet (Wifi) did not work from one of the rooms. However, we would definitely stay there again.
- Antonio (8/5): Centrale, economico, pulito e tranquillo. - Pur chiamandosi hotel è, in realtà, un Bed Break.. Posizionato dentro un appartamento nobiliare in pieno centro sulla via principale, secondo piano. Proprio davanti alla fermata bus-Shuttle aeroporto. Vicinissimo a tutto. Stanza ampia e con balcone sulla via centrale, soffitti alti e ben insonorizzata. Bagno in camera con tutto il necessario. Tutto pulito e curato anche se la struttura è datata Colazione sufficiente ma niente di salato. Personale disponibile e competente. Si possono lasciare le valigie in custodia. Ambiente molto tranquillo. Si trova all'interno di un edificio con diverse altre strutture BB. Ottimo rapporto prezzo-qualità. Da consigliare sicuramente per chi non ha molte pretese. Wi-Fi ottimo, gratuito e funzionale
- Oscar Adrian (10/5): Todo excelente - Excelente Estadia. Stella excepcional.
- Andrea (10/5): ottimo - Personale gentile , che ha aspettato il nostro arrivo, camera buona, hotel in pienissimo centro, bagno in buone condizioni, da tornare certamente
- Silney (8/5): B&B bem centralizado na Catânia - Custo benefício, central, bom acolhimento pelas atendentes. De resto são as limitações de um B&B.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Vacanza studio - Pulizia non accurata, ma personale disponibile
- Giovanni (6/5): comodo, centrale economico - posizione centralissima e comoda per gli spostamenti. Colazione adeguata alprezzo con addetta alla colazione veramente simpatica e accogliente. buon confort rapportato al prezzo. Unica carenza assenza di parcheggio.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Very nice staff and clean room - 직원들이 매우 친절했고, 숙소도 h&m 바로 옆에 있어서 찾기 쉽다! (소피아 호텔이랑 같은 층에 바로 마주보고 현관이 되어있다) 조식도 훌륭했고 객실도 깔끔하게 운영되고있다. 한가지 아쉬운점은 샤워룸이 약간 작은편이다. 이를 제외하고는 전반적으로 매우 만족스러웠다.
- Josette (10/5): Catania - Good location and very clean
- Marg (6/5): Room was great but not available the first night - The room was great but on arrival our room had been booked to other guests so we had to stay elsewhere which was an inconvenience and not as nice. The staff member who checked us in also tried to get extra cash off us in excess of the room rate.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Einfach, aber gut. Ausreichend für einen Aufenthalt, bei dem man viel unterwegs ist. Alles normal sauber
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Posizionato in maniera strategica per chi vuol visitare il centro di Catania. Struttura con qualche evidente segno di usura (soprattutto il bagno), ma tutto sommato è stato un gradevole soggiorno.
- Robert (8/5): Can't beat the price! - This hotel is located in a wonderful central location. It is clean, comfortable, and has a friendly staff. Wifi is reliable, lots of hot water, simple breakfast, and is everything you are looking for at this rate. I would definitely recommend it!
- Verified traveler (8/5): holiday - ok
- Massimo (8/5): - Posizione ottima per visitare Catania.
- coly (10/5): central hotel close to shops - very good. the girl at breakfast is very helpful . Apart from serving breakfast she gave us all the information we needed to go around
- Verified traveler (2/5): Worst hotel ever - REALLY - Very bad experience, probably the worst hotel I've been to. Here's why: - Really small bathrooms - Kitchen and cleaning room between rooms and start making noise from 6 am onwards - No amenities - Dirty - Moldy bread for breakfast (couldn't believe either...). Also starts at 8 and finishes 9:30 (not 7:30 to 10 as promoted) - Rude staff, no english The only good thing about it the location - very central.
- Alexander (10/5): Unforgettable stay in Rubens for relaxing - Large room and nice staff; I had a wonderful time here! I enjoyed it very much! A like home feeling; Thanks for the beautiful memories
- Anthony (6/5): - Only problem faced was that the external door could not open and since the hotel has no front desk, we were left outside for over 45 minutes till another client opened the door. Unable to leave the hotel as we were worried that had to spent the night outside. On checking the next day with the reception was informed that the lock was not working properly but could not be replaced as the building is shared by different tenants.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Catania experience - Room was cozy and comfortable. The owners were very nice. The hotel is located in the main district so shopping and sight-seeing were all very convenient.
