I asked the front desk to store our luggage while we explored the city and they were happy to help. Friendly and helpful service at check-in. The location is right next to a beautiful and large park in central Catania and we felt safe coming & going. We stayed one night on our way back to the airport and it was easy to get pickup and drop off.

Great find + Place to stay!

We spent 3 nights in Catania, and enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was secure, small, and in an easy location. The hotel was also very responsive to our questions + let us check in early! A bonus is you also get a free breakfast at a cafe about a block away, and that was easy and delicious.

Stay Somewhere Else!!!!

We stayed at this hotel the last 3 nights of a 3-week holiday, and I would not recommend this place to anyone. There were two of us, yet they refused to give a 2nd key card, even though I told them my husband and I had individual plans and needed it. I travel extensively, and this is the first time I have incurred such a lack of accommodation from an establishment. We stayed in the suite that offers a hot tub; however there was no hot water, and I had to resort to sponge bathing. They finally succeeded on our last night in getting warm water, but I was only able to fill the tub to a mere two inches before it ran out; so spending any extra money on a room with this tub is ridiculous.

Lovely clean room in a good location!

Great room in a good location. Check in was easy with details sent via WhatsApp. Lovely and clean with nice views over the park. Bed was comfortable and good to have a fridge in the room and a shared basic kitchen to make a coffee. Breakfast was good at the nearby cafe. You get to choose one sweet or savoury pastry and a drink in exchange for a voucher left in your room.

The hotel managers were great at communicating our arrival time and showing us how to access the property after hours so we could go caddy-corner across the street and grab dinner after a long flight. The room was small but absolutely gorgeous and I loved the balcony. We received a breakfast voucher for the same cafe we went to for dinner and everything there was wonderful- save some room for dessert because they have so many beautiful and delicious desserts. There is a giant and beautiful city park literally across the street that we strolled through after dark and felt completely safe. It was a great stay, even just for the one night.

Great location in Catania

Fantastic location that’s great to walking to everywhere, right next to Bellini Park. We had a very delayed flight and the staff gave good instructions to check in ourselves. It was really difficult to find parking at night though so do consider that cos it’s a very popular location in Catania.

The rooms and property were very clean. They are also in an ideal area for walking to see nearby sights. One of the two rooms we had was not good at all. The air conditioning didn't work and the shower flooded because it was backed up. So one room was excellent, one was terrible. I imagine this is a rare occasion in this place but it was very unfortunate for one of our rooms to have issues.

This was a lovely hotel and the staff were wonderful. Bear in mind if you stay, there are no staff working there, so you should organise to meet at a specific time. I didn't do this, but staff arrived about 20 minutes after I rang the door bell. Also, staff have very limited English language, but with lots of hand gestures and Google Translate, we got there. The room was lovely, quiet, and safe.

Room and property were in excellent conditions. The rooms are located on the second floor of the building and there is no elevator. (at least we didn't find it nor look for it). We pack light, so we don't have a problem with taking the luggage through the stairs. In our case, all the interaction with Palazzo Bellini was through WhatsApp. They told us where to find the key to our room and how to get in. If I have any questions, I ask them through WhatsApp and they reply to me quickly. A/C was good and our room had a jacuzzi that we enjoyed. Breakfast was in another location close to the property. Metro station and City center are about six minutes walking distance. We definitely can stay there again if we visit Catania.

We stayed here for one night at the end of our trip to Palermo. The hotel is just a few streets away from Via Etnea and the main attractions, making it a convenient location. You'll also find a café, a convenience store, and a supermarket all within a block or so. The room and communal areas were spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with cold air conditioning providing a refreshing break from the heat. Overall, this hotel offers cleanliness, comfort, and a great location, all at a good price. It's within easy walking distance of the main tourist areas and restaurants. An Uber Black to/from the airport cost us €26 each way. A great choice for a short stay.
