Don’t stay here. Worst hotel experience ever. The staff are rude, the manager is belligerent and abrasive. My friend’s flight was late due to electrical storm and he didn’t make the first night. Fine I was happy to lose the money for that first night as I had booked in advance, only fair. I even explained to the staff on the check in day but they don’t care. Then they charged an additional 50€ in the way of a ransom…if I didn’t pay we would forfeit the next two nights also. This is just bad business, a cheap unprofessional practice and a kind of money grabbing thievery. False advertising said WiFi in the rooms. There was no WiFi in the rooms. The breakfast buffet is the worst…and they want to charge you for the drinks. The room is super basic as you would expect for the price but not comfortable. Don’t use the shuttle service way too expensive, Just take the ALIBUS to and from the airport. The location is good though - but everything else?? Do yourself a favor and pay a little more for a different place. Not Recommended.

There is a written warning in the rooms: You always have to keep the windows closed at night because of the mosquitos. I would not believe that and woke up with several stitches - even in November. The breakfast (7.30 to 9.30) consists of good, fresh and handmade coffee and a range of processed cakes. There were pears and bananas, cornflakes - and yoghurt only if I was early enough (until ca. 8.15). When I asked for yoghurt, one of the employees said, that the other guests took it away and that there is no more. My room was nice but the door was not easy to open with the key. I had to learn how to find the "sweet spot" of the lock. The area around the hotel is very central and has interesting little restaurants in the neighborhood.

Not at all recommended

I asked for late check-in and they charged me 60€ just because they sent me an email with instructions. No employ was waiting for me to justify this amount. They also offered to charge me 50€ if I would pay in cash (is this tax evasion or what?) The place is the usual old building lightly renovated to pretend that it's a hotel and charge this ridiculous price, for the level of the accommodation. Terrible mattress, small uncomfortable bathroom, too noisy toilet flush refill. The breakfast was awful. Not at all recommended. There are a lot more nice places in Catania.

Nous avons été très déçus de notre accueil. 2 des amis que nous avions avec nous n'avaient pas pu préciser leur heure d'arrivée. Le responsable ne voulait pas accepter celui qui risquait d'arriver après 22h00 et m'a demandé de payer 100 euros pour qu'il accepte que ce soit moi qui accueille mes amis. Finalement les 2 sont arrivés l'un en milieu d'après midi le 2ème à 22h00. De plus nous n'avions finalement besoin que de 3 chambres au lieu de 4 et avons accepté de ne pas remettre en question le paiement de la 4 ème chambre . Au résultat : nous étions 3 au lieu de 4 mais nous avons payé 4 nuitées personne n'est arrivé après 22h00 mais on ne nous a pas rembourseé les 100 euros négociés pour cela.

Esperienza deludente ma buona posizione

Purtroppo confermo alcune osservazioni già lette in altre recensioni. Al mio arrivo ho chiesto chiarimenti sulla richiesta di lasciare i dati della carta di credito al check-in, esprimendo qualche perplessità, soprattutto quando mi è stato proposto di inviare una foto della carta tramite WhatsApp - modalità che personalmente non trovo molto sicura. Purtroppo ho ricevuto risposte sgarbate e un atteggiamento piuttosto maleducato, che ha reso l’esperienza meno piacevole del previsto. Alla fine, il check-in è stato completato in presenza, e la carta è stata fotografata con il telefono del personale. Anche se l’intenzione era probabilmente quella di velocizzare la procedura, avrei preferito modalità più formali e rassicuranti. La camera era spaziosa, ma all’ingresso si avvertiva un odore sgradevole, simile a quello delle fogne. In compenso, l’hotel è in una posizione ottima, comoda per spostarsi. Infine, ho contattato il servizio clienti Expedia, che mi ha confermato che quell’hotel può richiedere una carta o un deposito cauzionale al check-in (di cui non si sa l’importo). È comunque lecito porre domande in modo educato e aspettarsi lo stesso tipo di risposta. Un plauso invece al servizio clienti Expedia che è stato molto disponibile, rapido, cortese, risolutivo e professionale.

Salve, Siamo arrivati e il ragazzo della struttura ha preso i documenti e in più ha voluto i dati della nostra carta, andiamo in camera e sommersi dai dubbi dato che mai nessuno ha preso i dati così privati, sono tornata da lui chiedendo spiegazioni, dato che con dei dati così privati si possono anche fare acquisti extra (cosa che anche lui mi ha confermato) ma mi ha detto che questa cosa la facevano per tutelarsi dai danni, con tutta l’esperienza che ho nel settore e viaggiando spesso ho evidenziato che era per noi la prima volta che qualcuno prendesse queste informazioni private poiché c’è EXPEDIA che tutela sia loro che noi, quindi ho chiesto di cancellare questo dato sensibile e lui ci ha detto che o sottostavamo a questa loro folle regola o potevamo andare (scortesia!, non si può dire così, cosa potevamo fare prendere le cose e dormire sotto i ponti? Comunque troviamo l’alternativa del pagamento caparra in contanti e così abbiamo fatto. Dopo essere usciti torniamo in stanza, avremmo voluto fare una doccia ma fortunatamente prima mi sono accorta che mancava il phon (c’era scritto che bisognava richiederlo alla reception) ma ovviamente era chiusa già a quell’ora, comunque decidiamo di andare a letto e basta. Stamattina andiamo per fare colazione e il ragazzo mi ha aggredito gridando e prendendomi per stupida per aver comunicato tutto ad Expedia. Io per altro Donna incinta. È STATO VERAMENTE VERGOGNOSO, sempre urlando ci ha detto di andare subito via! NO COMMENT
