This hotel has an elevator. Personnel was very friendly and helpful, asking all our questions. A clerk actually walked back to our car with us and directed us so we could drive to the hotel -- one-way streets can make driving a real challenge in many cities. They gave us directions for dropping off the car and, when we asked,... More

Personnel was correct but some of them seem to be indifferent. Breakfast is like everywhere in Italy: a little bread (cornetto/croissant), yoghurt and coffee/tea

Stayed one night after a late arrival in Catania. Room basic but clean and comfortable. Surprisingly quiet for city centre hotel. Very convenient for airport bus - there is a bus stop less than 5 minutes walk away (ask bus driver for Hotel Gresi)

Ended up here after Hotel Etnea 316 refused our confirmed reservation. This was a family-run hotel with friendly service. Rooms were a bit dated but clean and comfortable with fully adequate facilities. It is well-located and relatively quiet.
