nice view but could be loud in the night

My stay was on Saturday, so it could be different on other days of the week, but the area close to the hotel is like Las Vegas Strip with hundreds of people walking and shouting, cars honking, and bikes revving till late night. And there is almost none sound insulation, so if you go to bed early, there's no chance to sleep. Moreover, if you are at 3rd floor you can hear screech of chairs scraping in the restaurant/cocktail bar at 4th. Another disadvantage is the lack of kettle in the room. Other than that, it's a very nice hotel with a great view on the sea, varied breakfast (though, strangely, there's no orange juice!), and an underground parking (it's next to impossible to park on the street).

the hotel is listed as four stars, but i feel they cut a lot of corners, which may result in disappointment from customers expecting four star service. they didn't provide free water or coffee like many other hotels do as a basic service, and their AC was leaking water over our floor. that being said, the room was clean and modern, and the facilities like the rooftop restaurant were nice. the surrounding area was safe and walkable, including many restaurants, but so loud at night and basically impossible to sleep when facing the street.

We chose to stay here for our stay in Catania instead of centre of city. Room with a balcony facing the ocean was a highlight of our stay which wouldn't have been possible in the city. Location was 15 minute walk to metro and 2 stops to city centre for 1 euro versus 15 euro cab ride. Front staff were very friendly, room was decent size, modern with many light options. Black-out power blinds were great to have at sunrise. Shower was very spacious but rest of bathroom very tight. Nice to have mini fridge, bed linens and pillows were the most comfortable of all 4 hotels we stayed at on this vacation which is top priority on my list. Comparing to other hotels we stayed at, would have been nice to have a proper coffee machine (instead of kettle), magnifying mirror in bathroom, complimentary water bottles. Breakfast was decent for a European hotel but the view from the restaurant was a bonus. On the negative side, chamber maid left us with no extra roll of toilet paper (just made it to morning before having to get my own on her cart), and she left used coffee mugs on our counter. Lobby area could benefit from an update, eg. ripped couches.

Hotel was very nice and clean! Staff were helpful and complimentary breakfast on the rooftop was beautiful. I would totally stay here again. Only suggestion I have to make the hotel better is to not make the room doors slam when people enter/exit their rooms. My wife and I were woken up 3-4 times because room doors were slamming after 11pm and midnight.
