The property itself and the staff were lovely. Great communication. It is a very convenient spot right near bus terminals and train station but not a very clean area.

For a hotel next to the train station, Symposium definitely serves its purpose. Clean, modern room, great bed, and easy access with WhatsApp instructions. The inside condition is nicer than the outside. Kind attendant in the breakfast room.

Loved that it was close to the local bus station train station and main Terminal for buses to other cities. The Lido is close by too. Room we had was at the front, enjoyed seeing the sea and watching the hustle and bustle of the city. Lovely modern room with great touches. Would have liked a kettle, as we were there for a week. Pillows are poor and need to be changed for better quality ones. Nice free buffet continental breakfast.Didnt like the hand written note telling us all off for eating in our rooms!

Lovely apartment. Very comfortable bed. Spotlessly clean. Great bathroom. Decent breakfast. Friendly staff. Great location directly opposite train station. Would have appreciated self check in instructions (lock box) earlier. Only received 2 hours before check in and had to turn on my roaming data to receive instructions.

The description says parking is included. The was no parking, our car got broken into. We wasted 5 hours between the police and getting a new car. If the property is not as listed, I want my money back, plus money to replace what was stolen!!!!!!

Struttura posizionata in modo strategico ma sfortunatamente era alla stazione centrale! Pessima zona. Per quanto riguarda la struttura nulla da dire ma ritengo il rapporto qualità/prezzo non adeguato.

We chose this b&B because it was close to the main train ad bus station in Catania. Despite checking on Google Earth, the entrance was rather hard to find. As entry required two lock boxes, the information could helpfully have been supplied in advance. The room was OK, bathroom fine, and the bed was comfortable. Understandably, the surrounding area was a bit noisy, so I'd recommend earplugs. A little more care and attention to the rooms would be useful: towels were a little grey and there was only one bottle of water supplied. Gabrielle, who oversaw the breakfast, was lovely: all smiles and very helpful: thank you!! Overall, the B&B fitted our purpose and was good value.

Chambre très bien. Spacieuse. Double vitrage tres bien a cause du bruit de la rue. Climatisation très silencieuse. Seul problème. 2 boites a clés pour lesquelles nous avions aucune instruction. La proprio a repondu dés mon appel.

La chambre est située dans un rond point , très très bruyant au 3eme étage sans volet ( pas d'atténuation de bruits). Le quartier n'est pas terrible du tout. Et pour le parking sans voiturier on n'est pas sur de retrouver sa voiture le lendemain. La douche est toute moisie. Le dejeuner est leger.
