Pros and Cons

We stayed here for one night to catch our flight home the next morning. Check-in was simple, clear instructions were given. Texts and emails are not always immediately returned, and their information states it could take several days to get a response. The rooms are nice, we had very little air conditioning so we were quite uncomfortable. More road noise than I expected. Close to airport

Property is an easy walk out of the city passed the park and gardens down the main streets. The bus from the airport (via the bus station) goes passed the front door (ask for 'Viale'). It's clean spacious and modern inside. Check in was unmanned and easy. The only issue is that the windows (/balcony doors) are single glazed and the road gets really noisy from 6am with people using horns. They also empty bins and glass into refuse trucks around midnight! If there was a bit more soundproofing then I'd have no problem giving more stars!

Put in a room with a toilet that is constantly flushing, main aircon not working AND the split system that was installed in the room didn’t work and clearly needed a service. The Main Street was so noisy that we heard sirens all night and people screaming. It was hotter and stuffier inside than out, it was not comfortable to sleep in there at all. Our young family slept with cold towels over us to try and cool down! Although the breakfast was small in options, it was the only highlight of our stay. The croissants were delicious. Thank you, however we will not be returning back.

5 of us girls stayed at OttoMood and our room had 3 single beds and one queen bed. It was perfect. There was a closet to store our belongings and the staff were great to make sure we had fresh towels or we could help our selves. The morning breakfast was simple yet all we needed to start the day. The cappuccinos were good too. The staff were helpful and friendly. Wifi was intermittent, but overall good. Bottle opener in room. Access to a shared kitchen. We left our wine bottles in there over the course of the week and they were never taken. Kettle in room. Cute balcony. High ceilings. Secure building and safe area of Catania right in the center town. Tons of places to eat and within walking distance to the Fish market, beaches, sightseeing. Slightly noisy at night if you sleep with balcony door open but quiet when closed. Great value!

Great comfortable hotel in convenient location. Perfect for a few nights if in Catania. Lots to do in the area and plenty of decent restaurants and shops all within 10 minutes walk. Rooms that front the main road may be a bit noisy for some lighter sleepers, so recommend ear plugs. Beautiful selection of fresh pastries, continental breakfast items and coffee served up by the owners themselves every morning. Owners are extremely friendly and helpful also. Would definitely stay here again.
