We appreciate meeting our B & B host, Lucilla, and having her walk us through the 2 front doors, elevator, B & B, and room key procedure. She was also very kind and helpful in making recommendations and gave us her phone number in the event of any problems. While in a charming historic building, the bathroom was modern, bed comfortable, and room spacious. We also liked having tea, coffee, water and some snacks available in the breakfast room at all times. Finally, the location was perfect for bus transportation: shuttle to the airport is about a 4 min walk, bus from Palermo and tour bus pick/up drop off was in front of the B & B.

We had a wonderful stay here. The owner was such a sweet person. We were offered a free breakfast. The room was updated and comfortable. We stayed one night. It’s very close to the bus and train station. We walked with our luggage and felt very safe. The room had a view off the balcony. We would definitely stay here again if using the Catania airport.

We stayed at B&B Oriental Palace for one night. It was only a 10 minute walk to the historic center of Catania which was very convenient for our short stay. Our room was clean, and we were able to check in early which we greatly appreciated. We weren't able to have the breakfast as we had to leave early for a flight but there was coffee/tea and small bites available throughout the day. The B&B is tucked away deep inside an older historic building, and you needed 5 keys to get through the building, up the elevator and to the B&B! It was definitely a unique experience finding and accessing it, but it didn't impact our stay in any way. Very reasonably priced with a friendly manager, so would recommend B&B Oriental Palace to others looking for a smaller bed and breakfast experience versus a hotel.

Ce B&B est une perle en centre de Catane, la décoration est soignée, notre chambre était spacieuse, confortable et très propre. Notre hôte Roberta est extraordinaire, j’ai rarement vu quelqu’un d’aussi attentionné envers ses clients, le petit déjeuner qu’elle propose est très bon et ses conseils nous ont été précieux. Notre chambre était remise en état et le linge de toilette changé quotidiennement. Je reviendrai certainement à Catane un jour et je n’hésiterai pas quand à mon choix de résidence : ce sera B&B I Mori. Merci Roberta

En unik oplevelse

Vores ophold på B&B Oriental Palace oversteg alle forventninger. Lucilla, vores vært, sørgede for at vi fik en fantastisk oplevelse. Hun er så venlig og hjælpsom, og sørger for at værelset er skinnende rent. Alle faciliteter er i orden og indretningen er meget stilfuld. Vi nød også at der var en altan med udsigt til Etna til den ene side og havet til den anden. Placeringen er meget central med gåafstand til den gamle bydel og til offentlig transport.

Logistica perfetta per auto, treno e aereo.
