Hotels near Porta Garibaldi

"On pictures it all looks very cute and next to the beach. Luxury? Maybe 30 years ago..when it was last updated. The whole place is very dated, aircon didn’t work and they had to put it on from reception then couldn’t control it in room. Pool was being redecorated. Tried to order room arrive and called reception who cgave me the number.. to the bar.. who gave me The number to the restaurant.. who gave me the number to reception.. who gave me another number .. then they said they would send a bell boy up with menu… then they called 20 min later to tell Me to look on the website… and then they called to chase me Twice.. food arrived and it wasn’t nt bad.. with an extra 15 euro charge to bring to room.. beach is across the road which is why I booked it as well.. a dirty old street and had to walk to this beach club the hotel gave you free sun Bed and towel and parasol… felt like that hasn’t been updated for 30 years either so didn’t bother.. luckily I was only there for 1 night before moving on to Mangia Brucoli for a work summit.. and this Is paradise here.. like being on a set of white lotus! Won’t be coming back that’s for sure. "

"Very nice and clean room with a small kitchen and wonderful balcony with a view"

"Great"

"This is a wonderful hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful, the room was extremely clean and comfortable and the location was perfect. I wish I could have stayed longer!"

"Bit unsure on arrival as the entrance was behind a big pot leading to a communal yard, but that seems to be the norm in catania, rang the buzzer and got let in. Taken to the room no lift so could be a problem with heavy bag or walking difficulties. The room itself was very nice , spotless but the big thing for us was when we opened the door shutters the view was the hustle and bustle of the street below from the small balcony. Straight across the street was Bellini park , many many cafes and shops underneath and when you look to the right you could see Etna covered in snow large as life between the buildings, what a great sight. We love to people watch so was great for us. If you want it to be really quiet, maybe not for you. We had a great time savio cafe I underneath served great arancina and granita."

"The bedding needs to be majorly upgraded. Need new linens better pillows a stylish comfortable coverlet and better mattress or mattered pad. It was a very uncomfortable sleep for a quite high priced hotel. Also the shower is terrible with mould and rust and it leaks. Breakfast and location are lovely"

"Very nicely renovated space inside a larger older building. More of a B&B than a full service hotel but priced accordingly. Be sure to clarify your arrival time."

"Never again. Bed is clean and comfortable and breakfast was ok. Everything else is terrible. "

"Beautiful old building that is totally renovated large rooms with modern amenities. Great location center of old town. Wonderful breakfast served outside on a balcony over looking the square."
