Top Catania Hotel Reviews

Liberty Hotel

Liberty Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"By far one of the best experiences I’ve had in a hotel. The staff member that helped us was extremely helpful with food recommendations (he recommended Trattoria u Fucularu, HIGHLY worth it), made delicious limoncello spritzes, and helped coordinate taxis for us to get to the bus station the next day. The rooms were stunning. We could feel that this once was a villa and the style was reminiscent of early 1920s/30s. The lights in each area of the hotel were similar to Cala Lillies. The covered terrace was so relaxing and a great place to sip our drinks. Overall, we had a great experience at this hotel and I know where we will be staying when we come back to Catania."

10/10 Excellent
"The staff were all very pleasant& helpful. Anything I requested was provided promptly & with a smile. The honesty bar was great so easy to serve yourself. The SPA was good although I do feel a reduction for hotel guests rather than SPA customers would be beneficial. The hotel was further from the centre than anticipated but taxis easily obtained by the helpful reception team. Solo travellers are caught with high taxi fares. Maybe a hotel shuttle on the hour to the centre for a nominal fee for guests could be investigated in the future as im suremany use it as a baee to explore the area as i did so a connection to the bus/ train station would be ideal. Food was delicious both breakfast & dinner, although I wasn't informed I could order hot items via the QR code at breakfast however, I had all I could eat. Lastly to be sdvised the restaurant was closed when I arrived on my first day as a solo traveller wasn't ideal. Thankfully a pizza parlour a few metres away was open. All in alli had a lovely stay & am staying in an Una Hotel in Venice in November so I hope its just as good. Clare"
