4/5
The hotel is a lovely place in the center of Catania. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, everything is clean and the service was excellent (cordial and welcoming staff). However, the bathroom door can’t be locked or even closed. Rather, you are supposed to gently push them because they are one of those swinging doors types. Also, there is a smell of dampness or moist all over the hotel and especially inside the bedroom.

This is a great little hotel, the staff is wonderful. It is on the edge of the red light district, be mindful of your surroundings if you are walking from the central train station to the hotel. My room was small but manageable with a queen bed. It was split between two floors, the bathroom was on the second level. The entire hotel has a strange layout but it is beautiful. I would recommend staying here if you are an experienced traveler and can manage navigating in a big city. The location is close to the city center and most tourists attractions are within walking distance.
