Simply fantastic. We had a suite and it was majestic. The decor was so unique, it’s worth a mention. The breakfast was great. Their happy hour is an experience that should not be missed. We were warned about the neighborhood, so we were cautious. But again, there were so many options nearby. Absolutely fantastic experience.

Great stay in Catania here for a little winter sun. Staff were amazingly helpful, upgraded our room for free suggested nearby towns to visit. The breakfast everday was exceptional and there were no shortage of option's. The room was spacious and well maintained throughout our stay. The gym was functional (though perhaps the treadmill could do with a service)... the hotel is close to central Catania so makes the perfect base to visit the city. Would definitely stay here again and reccomend.

Excellent location

Location is excellent, just ensure to turn left from the lobby door. The right side is “red light” district the staff said. Other than that, it’s safe and clean and very near to many great restaurants.

My wife and I stayed at Romano House on two occasions recently while coming/going to Sicily through Catania. Roberta checked us in both times. She was extremely gracious and helpful. She greatly simplified our travels by suggesting use of the Metro, which stops only a block away, to get to bus and train stations. The breakfast was very good. Although not located in our favorite part of the city, Romano House proved to be an excellent stay on both visits, and we would certainly return.

A cut above

After staying at many different properties at a similar price point around Sicily, Romano House stands out. Modern, comfortable, exceptionally helpful and accommodating staff, good breakfast selection. Small things you might take for granted elsewhere but aren't common in Sicily that made our stay better. Conveniently located in the city center as well. Recommended.

Maybe better if you like to party

Positives: Really nice staff. Breakfast included. Good location if you want to hit the main tourist spots. Good restaurants and shopping nearby. Buses nearby. Can walk to the train station too. Negatives: Very weird layout for a room. I felt like i was in a pre-fab house. Noise was a significant issue for me: shoes from the room above, as well as the late-night partying on the terrace. I wore earplugs. Not a good place if you are sensitive to noise, or don’t forget your earplugs.

Nice stay for a solo trip to Catania.

Clean, modern and nice hotels close to the historic district of Catania. Easy access, many attractions within walking distance. Staff were great, attentive and kind. A tour to Siracusa was sold out; however, the guy at the front desk helped me to organize a tour on my own that cost a fraction of what I would’ve paid. He printed bus schedules, and a map with the highlights I needed to see, all at my own pace.
