We were only one night at Catania but very happy with the city. The hotel wasnt very good, smelling very bad from the canalization, maybe a comum problem in Catania?! The breakfast was in a very small room and the waiter kept on making the dishes quite load while we were having it. Rooms were big and we were very... More

This is a gem of a hotel in the middle of Catania. The top floor of a palace with the most amazing rooms. All the ceilings painted by Italian masters, it looks like. Great breakfast included. Also free wifi. Bathrooms all redone. Very modern and clean. The staff is incredibly accommodating. Nothing too much for them. We stayed here for... More

We spent two nights at this hotel. The hotel is located right in the heart of the city so it is perfect for exploring Catania. We were assigned a lovely room overlooking an inner courtyard. The bed was comfortable and the room was very quiet. The ceiling of the room was stunning - it had lovely paintings on it. The... More

First of all, when we checked in, the hotel staff gave us a standard room instead of a superior room (we paid in advance 75 euros per night having had an approximately discount of 30% for the superior room, while the standard room costs 70 euros per night if you don't pay in advance). After we asked for the correct... More

Dear Customer, reading the comment above We are really sorry about the little mistake regarding the room but as you know, when you book trough an travel agency is possibile make up an misunderstanding. I smile reading that the photos which advertise our hotel are not true, maybe the one you are talking about is the congress room and unfortunately... More

We were sent to this hotel by the hotel Il principe which has overbooked us. While being disapointed at the beginning, as it was supposed to be somehow not as nice, we were actually very satisfied by this hotel. The room were huge, the staff friendly and the breakfast ok. It's near the duomo and animated area of Catane. Overall... More

Recently spent 3 days in Catania on a trip to Sicily. Our first stop was at the Manganelli Palace. Once we found this lovely little hotel, occupying the upper floors of an old family palace in the downtown, we found it to be a perfect location for seeing everthing. Lucca, who checked us in was charming and helpful, and another... More

On our way to Taormina we had a bit of a diversion--family members recommended Catania and specifically this Hotel. They were spot on! Let's start with the hotel--charming palace from a place in time that few unfortunately get to see. Think Neapolitan palace under a different Volcano! If you enjoy a kind, helpful staff, high ceilings, remarkable architecture, and yes,... More

D, F and D on the front desk were superb, friendly and very helpful after being stranded for an extra 8 days due to the Vocanoe erupting. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The hotel is very well situated in the heart of Catania, and although not large is adjacent to a piazza. Many of the rooms have authentic... More
