Hotel berhampiran Department of Chemistry, University of Catania, Catania

Très bon accueil, nous sommes arrivés bien avant l'heure du check-in mais nous avons pu laisser nos bagages qui ont été montés ensuite dans notre chambre. Le réceptionniste, très gentil et aimable, nous a donné un plan de Catane et nous a donné de bons conseils pour nous promener et pour les restaurants. Nous sommes allés déjeuner et nous sommes revenus ensuite. La chambre était très grande et très bien aménagée, la literie excellente et la salle de bain très belle et agréable. L'hôtel a une décoration design tout en gardant la majesté de l'ancien palais. Nous avons très bien dormi car la rue est relativement calme et il y a un très bon double vitrage. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux, servi sous forme de buffet dans une salle agréable. Nous avons apprécié d'avoir, entre autres, des fruits frais. A notre départ, nous avons pu laisser nos bagages à l'hôtel pour nous promener tranquillement dans Catane, notre avion étant en soirée. Le réceptionniste nous a appelé un taxi pour l'aéroport. Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour dans l'hôtel Romano House et nous recommandons fortement cet hôtel qui est d'un excellent rapport qualité/ prix.

This hotel made our holiday. Granted it’s not in the best area but we absolutely loved it. The room was huge, spotless, modern and has everything you need. We were road facing so the road noise was there but it didn’t bother us as up with a 9 year old at 7am! The beds were very comfy and for Italy in our experience this is rare. The pool area was lovely, the pool wasn’t big but big enough for the amount of guests. The reception staff were all welcoming and helpful, the staff working on the bar and at breakfast were all fab and spoke good English. The breakfast was very fresh with plenty of continental choice. We also had a light lunch on a couple of occasions which was lovely. We hired a car which you definitely need as nothing in walking distance apart from a little bar/coffee place across the road. The car hire at the hotel was €100 per day but we found a local company before we flew out for £400 for the week so it’s better to look around. We managed to park at the hotel no problem. €40 in taxi from airport to hotel. Going into the city and driving was something else. Parking is hard work but overall we loved it. We have been all over Italy for the last 12 years and I must say the food we had in Sicily was truly the best. We ate a lot of fresh fish. Places to visit Mt Etna - €90 in cable car but worth it Etnaland water park €80 for 3 people but it’s amazing for families and would highly recommend Taomina - the beach was stoney but a beautiful place. Absolutely full of tourists though. Overall our second visit to Sicily did not disappoint, my family had the most amazing time. It’s not your typical ‘family’ holiday but that is why we liked it so much. We would stop at this hotel again and again and would highly recommend

Wifi is only available around the reception. Location is good. I won’t recommend the hotel due to the one rude staff who blamed me for putting a key on the wrong door(there were two doors before the reception). At that time I was super tired after walking all day but he ordered me to wait until he finished talking on the phone with angry face. He called me off that I almost damaged the door by clicking the key too much and the other customers could haven’t use it then I have to pay for the damage. He even mentioned the price for it. Then I had to show him that I can use the keys in the right place and turn them properly. The worst customer service I’ve ever had and my trip was damaged..

We recently stayed at the Four Points Hotel and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The standout feature of the hotel was definitely the stunning sea view from our room! The breakfast was also a highlight of our stay – there was a huge variety of fresh, delicious options available, and I particularly enjoyed the fresh orange juice! We also liked the beautiful art gallery, which was filled with a diverse collection. From the elevator you have a wonderful view of the lobby and the restaurant, which are surrounded by plants. Overall, We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway. Thanks for the friendly service and see you again soon! Max & Janet

Il personale di Palazzo San Giorgio è molto disponibile e competente, mi ha fornito tutte le informazioni che ho richiesto durante il mio soggiorno (indicazioni stradali, ristoranti, musei ecc). Ho alloggiato una notte in una bellissima ed elegante junior suite, luminosa ed estremamente pulita. Ho trovato l’arredamento dell’intera struttura molto moderno e curato nei minimi dettagli. Quello che mi è piaciuto di più è stata la colazione….buffet vastissimo e tanta scelta anche alla carta. Sebbene sia molto bella la spa non è grandissima e questo la rende un ambiente accogliente. Super raccomandato!!

First of of all I want to thank Vincenzo and Claudia C at the reception. They are a very good asset for the hotel, always very prompt to help with excellent service always with a smile. Our room was very clean, I thank Giusi, at the first floor of the hotel ,she really does her job very well with attention to detail, most of the times you rarely find even in 5 star hotels,she is an other asset. The hotel is very comfortable, good position, very clean and has great safe private and secure parking. Definitely will revisit when in Sicily.

Nous avons passé une très bonne nuit dans cet hôtel, la chambre est belle, spacieuse et bien insonorisée. Le petit déjeuner est copieux. Seul petit hic, l’emplacement du parking pas facile à comprendre.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Grand Hotel Biai Verde in Catania Italy. Its an old school elegant type of hotel on the coast - they were in the process of refinishing the outside access to the sea. Although the pool does not officially open until June (I snuck in) and its a great pool. The Breakfast was included and was really significant. Parking was free as was the NET - Room was very clean and they have old school maids that do a nice job - the Hotel has not yet been impacted by the green wave so you get new towels every day. Staff was kind and helpful. If returning to the aera I would stay there again. Special thanks to Matt from the Front Desk - he was very help before we arrived and attentive while we were there and he helped make our stay a great one - a positive attitude goes a long way!

We had a layover in Catania and this hotel came up in a search. It is right across from the main train station, which is a major stopping point for people going to Mount Aetna. It is about 1.5 KM from the city center's attractions (Fish market and basilica) so not so convenient to the center unless you want a longish walk--and Catania frankly does NOT feel safe. Nor is the train station area at all desireable. But the Hotel Villa Romeo is a little oasis in an otherwise grim place. 30 Euros from CTA airport and about a 10 min ride. The hotel doesn't have a restaurant but does provide an included good breakfast bar in a delightful atrium--this is an old villa with a number of courtyards and very old fashioned rooms. Beds were comfortable. Decor is very old-fashioned: doors painted Empire style and rooms kind of, I dont know, 40's? The bathroom was perfectly functional but not lavish, this is a 3 star hotel and the amenities were what you'd expect for Italian 3 star. The hotel is absolutely sparkling shiny clean and a large staff was tirelessly repairing and cleaning all over. The front desk managers were warm, welcoming, helpful and cordial. The lobby is small but there is a huge atrium with shaded pergola, plantings and it's a pleasant place to sit. We hung out there because we were jetlagged and Catania was not wowing us for sightseeing after our first evening encounters. (Dodgy is a polite word for that.) There is a hotel shuttle you can arrange to the airport but it's really the same cost as a taxi per person. There is a bus across from the hotel (across a very busy street) and it's 4 Euros. Five stars because the hotel was perfect and affordable.

- Breakfast for Italy was oookay - Far away from the center, a city bus comes once in hour, which in terms of Sicily - never. But okay. - The hotel is on the sea side, but it does not have a beach [one should use a public beach 10-15 minutes away] - In my room, in the bathroom every morning I had water coming from the ceiling from the higher floor. Told at reception. They did not solve it for a few days before i left. - air conditioning was super noisy I had to stop it before going sleep - the swimming pool was open from 9-19hh, thus leaving for a work duty around 8 and coming back around 7,the pool was not useful for me - The hotel is used to rent its own restaurant next to the pool to different events, so, especially on weekends there is loud music until super late. The reception was not able to stop the music then I asked around 1 am.... this is strange - they let some external people to party loudly till late at the expense of their guests
