2/10 Poor

Staff failed to provide enough information about parking resulting in us being fined, and then couldn't even assist us to pay the fine which was in Italian (we are Australian) - they outright accepted zero responsibility whatsoever and were extremely unhelpful. Would NEVER stay here again. It was appalling and disgusting behaviour from so called service professionals. Very disappointed.

6/10 Good

Stayed 3 nights. Old carpets, old beds but linens were great. Staff is wonderful. Underground parking (15 euro/day) is a hassle. You have to get off your car to push a button and call for the front desk to open the gate. No stairs from the garage to the lobby, only elevator. I had to get something from my car but the elevator was broken. Breakfast is okay.

Pleasant hotel in a good location
The hotel is pleasant and the staff excellent - I experienced a really high level of service. I had a room overlooking Piazza Giovanni Verga, and I had a wonderful view of Mount Etna in the background. The room was spacious and comfortable with classical furniture. The carpets need to be changed, and the bathroom needs some upgrading, but apart from that everything was great. My only disappointment was with the breakfast. Due to Covid measures, there is no buffet, which is totally understandable, however, I wasn't expecting to be served cold scrambled eggs on a cardboard plate. The cutlery, glasses, etc were (biodegradable) plastic, and when I queried, they said "temporary hygiene measures", but it was very disappointing. Plates and cutlery can be washed at high temperatures. Much better than all this waste. The hotel has a garage where you can park (€15 per day), and the square right in front of it has plenty of parking spaces. Both options are very convenient.

Catania Stay
Went in August 2020, Hotel staff were great, breakfast was also nice however had table service due to Covid. (Less choice than buffet) Hotel and room itself was nice, weather was amazing 30+ heat and not a cloud in the sky. Beach is 4km away (short taxi drive) sea is also like a bath in Catania due to how shallow it is. Quiet town but got enough bars and lively spots in the evening. Overall nice time away, would recommend 3/4 days.

The place is tired and needs refreshing. The staff are equally uninspiring - nothing seemed to come naturally for example wiFi which is free was not offered and required vouchers etc. The room felt tatty and the bathroom was unwelcoming with silicone along bath etc peeling off. Pity. It’s in a prime location with good access to parking and Centre - Accor could do much better
