We stayed here for 7 nights and we were very satisfied. The location couldn’t be better, next to the big shopping street and close to restaurants and bars. Not far from the major tourist attractions and the airport bus and other buses are very close.
The staff were all nice and service minded. They didn’t know much English though.
The staff was extremely helpful and diligent throughout our 3 day stay. The WiFi was a little spotty, but that was about it. Would definitely stay again.
Very good location.
The day we checked in the front desk gentleman was extremely kind and helped us upstairs with all our luggage.
The whole staff was extremely polite .
Even the night staff member was very polite and helpful.
I enjoyed the morning cappuccino.
Although the reception is not at street level, the staff are friendly and helpful. I will miss my capuccino served with a smile in the morning and the warm croissant. The hotel is well situated with a nice view of Etna.
Hotel was good, decent location. The bed was good and firm, shower was fine, breakfast basic but decent. Staff really pleasant. There was a lack of sockets for charging and the wi-fi wasn't great. The room had a small balcony and the building was lovely.
Cheap, but not quite value for money though.
Pros: Location (close to city centre) and clean (very good job by the cleaning staff; this place was so old it's difficult to keep clean).
Cons: Just about anything else. Worn out room/place, reception wasn't particularly friendly at arrival, very poor breakfast.

They could not find our reservation. I have booked a triple room for 74 €, we got a double for me, my wife and our teen daughter. It cost 80 € for one night. It is cold everywhere in this "hotel", the guests had breakfast with their jackets on. The breakfast is ridiculous, you'd better eat somewhere outside. The shower was a disaster, the only good thing there was plenty of hot water.
Had no hot water first night. Waited over an hour for it to be sorted. Second night had to run water for ages to get it bareably warm. Internet kept dropping out continuously. Didnt feel i got any help from staff until i was leaving and they rang for taxi
Apesar da entrada um pouco sinistra, de precisar tocar uma campainha em um portão e depois passar por uma garagem, pegar um pequeno elevador e chegar até a recepção no primeiro andar, eu até que daria uma nota melhor se não fosse a falta de empatia, e a arrongancia de uma senhora que fica na recepção. Nunca vi tamanha grosseria em atendimento a cliente, mal educada e estupida . No mais, quarto razoável, café da manhã também…boa localização …mas a estupidez dessa senhora me impede de voltar lá…
Hotel in una traversa di Via Etna, in pieno centro, vicino alla villa bellini e alla famosa pasticceria Savia. Si trova al primo piano con ascensore.
Unica nota negativa è la colazione, molto scarsa
Albergo comodo,in una traversa di via Etnea
Peccato che alcune camere non hanno il bagno ristrutturato quindi poco comodo
Per il resto ok, pulizie 🔝colazione niente di speciale ma 9k
