Stayed here a week on biz/pleasure. Hotel and staff were great. Hotel is centrally located off of Piazza Duomo and everyhting other than airport is within walking distance. Our only issue was access to the internet. Wireless only in the room and it struggled. The lobby wireless was more successful and had a wired port. The good news it was... More

Accomodations in Sicily can be rough, to say the least. This is a classy boutique hotel with clean rooms and an upscale location. If you stay in Catania, I'd suggest staying here. More

We were only there one night, but had a great experience. We arrived early in the morning (9:30am) and the staff had our room ready for us by 10 am. The room was beautiful and very comfortable. The desk staff were all very pleasant and helpful in providing directions and restaurant suggestions. The hotel is very convenient to the center... More

We were due to arrive late at Catania Airport and decided to spend one night in the city before travelling down to Siracusa. We very nearly went for somewhere cheap and cheerful - it was just one night, right? How glad I am that we changed our minds and paid a little more for a room in this delightful hotel.... More

We stayed at the Principe for one week on our honeymoon earlier this month. We had the suite which was very roomy and comfortable. The location of the hotel is perfect as very central allowing us to just step out straight towards the main squares of Catania. All the staff was very professional and helpful. No queries were too much... More

This is a very nice hotel and the location simply couldn't be better, at just a block away from the fabulous Piazza Duomo. A great place to stay when visiting the old centre of Catania, but definitely better to come without a car as the narrow streets are difficult to navigate. The room itself was lovely, very comfortable bed and... More

I did not quite recognise the description in the Rough Guide of 'spacious rooms and handsome beds' though 'Bathrooms can be a bit of a squeeze' was certainly accurate. Nevertheless, this was a perfectly acceptable place to stay, well located just a couple of minutes walk from the Piazza Duomo. A reasonable buffet breakfast was included in the cost. 'Average'...

The location is excellent, very central. I found the staff to be very helpful, even before we arrived I arranged an excursion to Etna with them and they were always there to answer emails and provide useful information. The room is exactly what you would expect from a 4-star hotel, clean, good quality bed, decent bathroom (the shower could have... More

Il Principe can be a bit difficult to find (my nav system tried to lead me down a set of stairs with my car!) but the hotel is well located in the heart of old Catania. The staff is very helpful and the rooms are well appointed. It has a very comfortable lobby and bar area. The wifi is tricky...they... More
