Clean well-renovated well-located property with big rooms and simple yet amazing breakfast.
Pasarn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing

Staff very friendly and would do anything for you. Room very spacious and very clean. Breakfast was amazing and the best I have had in a long time. Location was perfect and right on the doorstep of the main shopping strip with shops and restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely recommend and will return.
Fiona, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice property has all the facilities and station and centre are all walking distance. Just bare in mind that if your staying there on a weekend that there is a festival going on until 12am in the nearby park.

Nice owner. Perfect place for a short stay( I stayed one night). Not a ton of amenities but has the basics. Only problem is the WiFi does t work consistently which is a problem if your an international visitor.
Jeffrey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location

Owner is very friendly but speaks no English. We were able to communicate with Google translate. Room was great and I had a perfect view of Mt. Etna. Breakfast was not the best. Owner's son asked us what we wanted for breakfast the next day but did not give us what we asked for. Wifi did not work in all the rooms. Hotel is in a great location

We didn’t speak the language but the hosts were very polite and used translation app to communicate. We were greeted in the street and escorted into our accommodation. Our room was lovely and had a view of Mt Etna. Great location.

Tväka inte att boka

Det kändes som att man kommit hos nära släkting . Värd var otrolig hjälpsam med allt, från och med att vänta på oss vid bus stationen vid ankomst tom att lämna lägenhetsnycklar till oss for att hämta vår baggage vid avgång. Vi kunde själv bestäma vad vill vi äta för frukost och han ordnade detta. Rumet och badrumet var rena bekväma och i utmärkt skick säng bekvämt ,en tjusigt balkong med utsikt mot Vesuvio . Lägenheten finns på huvudgsta i Catania men det är lungt på kvällen. Rekomenderas hjärtlig.

4/10 Fair

Papali 289 befindet sich in einem hinteren Abteil des Hauses. Es ist kein Klingelschild, noch sonstige Information zu lesen. Erst auf Nachfrage wurden wir in einen dunklen Flur gebeten, um mit einem sehr alten und fragwürdigen Aufzug in die 5. Etage zu fahren. Das Treppenhaus war ebenfalls sehr dunkel und schmutzig. Die Unterkunft war zwar sauber und modern eingerichtet. Der Sohn des Besitzers, welcher sich um das Organisatorische und Frühstück kümmert, sorgte jedoch für einen nicht empfehlenswerten Aufenthalt. Als wir ankamen sagte man uns, dass wir kein Frühstück gebucht hatten. Erst nach viel Überzeugungsarbeit glaubte man uns schließlich. Am nächsten Morgen erhielten wir zwei kleine Croissants und ein Heißgetränk. Auf Nachfrage am nächsten Morgen auch etwas Herzhaftes wie Brot oder Aufschnitt zu bekommen wurde mit Protest bejaht. So erhielten wir an den darauffolgenden Tagen ein Brötchen, wenige Scheiben Käse, Butter und ein Croissant. Er bereitete es sehr langsam zu und reagierte auf Nachfragen stets genervt und unhöflich. Am Abreisetag verlangte er die Tax während des Frühstücks, obwohl darum gebeten wurde es anschließend in Ruhe zu klären. Er schaute durchgehend Videos, sprach kaum englisch, versuchte nicht Informationen zu beschreiben oder zu übersetzen und ließ uns warten. Insgesamt waren die Räumlichkeiten der Unterkunft zwar modern gestaltet, der Service und Umgang jedoch unmenschlich und nicht empfehlenswert.

Staff were good Breakfast was good Room was serviced daily Able to make an espresso in the kitchen whenever you wanted Had a good view of etna Bus stop right out the front of the property Air-conditioning worked well

Nothing special. It was very difficult to figure out where to go once we were inside the building. No indication whatsoever. Luckily another customer saw us (we looked lost with our suitcases) and told us to go to the 5th floor. A lot of mosquitoes!!!

Très bien situé. Carmelo et sa famille très attentionnés. Chambre confortable et salle de bain très propre. Je recommande cet endroit sans problème.

Posizione strategica economica ma con tutti i comfort a due passi dal centro.
Gianluca, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Owner is very friendly and goes above and beyond to help. Space was sufficient and clean, conveniently located. Elevators onsite so no need to carry your luggage through stairwells. This B&B doesn’t have any signage but upon arrival the owner showed up and brought us to the correct floor and helped us get settled in.

The host met me at the door and advised where to eat and gave his personal recommendations. A great place to stay
David, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Helt ok

Bra läge på via Etnea. Hållplats för flygbuss direkt utanför entrén. Trevlig värd som tyvärr inte pratar engelska. Ingen frukostbuffé, utan värden fixar enligt önskemål. Ingen riktig hotellentre så det kan vara svårt att hitta första gången, men värden kom direkt efter telefonsamtal. Finns balkonger med utsikt över staden och mot Etna. Rent och fint rum. Överlag bra och prisvärt.

10/10 Exceptional

I had a fantastic little room with a balcony and a very kind and caring host. Тhere was a lovely view of Etna from the breakfast room. The only problem was the neighbour's dog (the hotel is on one floor in an apartment building) which kept barking, even through the night.
