The Palace Catania is a beautiful hotel on main Etnea street in city center. Central, convenient location, but you need to love city life - the streets are not clean (there are major issues in Italy with regard to the lack of trash collection and litter/garbage is prevalent almost everywhere), beggars (including children) come right up to your dining table asking for money (happened multiple times while we dined on Etnea), and there are many homeless and lots of graffiti. Setting that aside, (because you have to remember you are in the heart of the city and much of this is to be expected), the hotel staff was excellent and friendly, the condition of the hotel was very nice and clean, and the indoor valet parking was great ($25/night). The food and beverage prices at the hotel were too high, so we ate and drank at the restaurants nearby, which were excellent. There are a lot of choices. If you like to be in the middle of the action, walkable to many of the tourist sites, this is the place for you. We did a 4 hour walking tour with a local guide and it was great. We stayed 3 nights, which was 1 night too long for what we wanted to see/do.
