Il Principe Hotel

8/10 Good

"I loved the high ceilings and the way the room was decorated. I loved the veranda on room 322. The wall of the tub in the bathroom was too high and not easy to step over. The glass wall protecting the bathroom floor from water spray was too short. The floor of the tub is slick and could lead to falls."

Asmundo di Gisira

6/10 Okay

"The restaurant staff was phenomenal. Check-in went very smoothly however we were staying in the penthouse. The most expensive room on the property with the taxes were almost as much as the actual stay, the keys to the outer doors did not work and we were locked in for the evening and the desk closed. To be fair it was very late, however, there should’ve been a way to reach someone on the property to let them know we couldn’t leave the top floor Also, the air-conditioning units were not working. The hotel itself is stunning. It was worth the stay for the gorgeous architecture, well appointed renovations and charming breakfast without standing staff and beautiful veranda."

Palazzo Sangiorgio

8/10 Good

"We needed a hotel close to the CTA airport and Palazzo Sangiorgio is exactly that, about 15 minutes away. It's not in a glamorous location and the hotel is not at a luxury level, but it's clean, well managed, peaceful and quiet. Everything in our room worked perfectly and we were easily able to park to unload our luggage, drive to the airport to drop of our bags and return so we would not need to stress returning the car before an early morning flight. The hotel is an easy walk to the main Piazza, shopping and dozens of restaurants. Catania is not a particularly beautiful city, but worth a stroll and surprisingly busy with tourists. The hotel thoughtfully had a bag packed with breakfast food when we checked out at 6 a.m. as the breakfast room did not open until 7."
