The hotel was located in a busy area of the city. Finding parking was difficult unless you are willing to park about 10 minutes away. The hotel host was nice and provided us with early check-in. The room was large enough with a balcony overlooking the back street. Bathroom was decent. Breakfast was hearty. Tons of restaurants nearby, and within walking distance to the historical area. Airport bus stop was close by as well. A good stay!

I liked the location of the property to the sites and restaurants. The bed was a little to hard for me and my husband though.

Home feeling B&B, clean and walking to everything.
Very kind owner who made sure our stay to be the best. He made us cappuccino every morning with new baked croissant. The rooom had 1 big bed and two singles bed in, for our teenages, located in seperate rooms.
They cleaned our room everyday but didnt change the towels. But I think if we asked abou it, they would have change it for us.
The accommodation is located near to everything.

God beliggenhed, pænt istandsat, hjælpsom vært
Meget hjælpsom vært som hjalp os frem til parkering. Trafikken og parkering i Catania er meget dårlig. Det kan ikke anbefales at tage bil med ind i byen. Papali ligger godt og er pænt nyistandsat.

Assolutamente consigliato
Siamo appena rientrati dopo 6 giorni di permanenza in questa struttura. Posizione centrale a due passi dai giardini Bellini, dalla miglior pasticceria Savia proseguendo si arriva in piazza Duomo. Struttura nuova, pulita e colazione ottima grazie al titolare Carmelo che di adopera per soddisfare tutti i gusti. Si raggiunte dall’aeroporto con navetta Alibus che ferma di fronte all’entrata. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo
