Staff very friendly and would do anything for you. Room very spacious and very clean. Breakfast was amazing and the best I have had in a long time. Location was perfect and right on the doorstep of the main shopping strip with shops and restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely recommend and will return.

This is a bed and breakfast, but the owner does not live on site. The hotel is on the 5th floor of residential building with a gate - so you won't know you're there until the owner meets you (no signs etc). Google maps will tell you you're there. If you see a gated building and Google says you're there, it is probably correct. If you're coming from the airport or train, take the Alibus to Viale bus stop and you'll be about 2 minute walk from the hotel - If you're coming from train ask someone trustworthy (worker) where the stop is for Alibus - you will not know you're at the hotel, but the owner will greet you at the gate. He'll take you to the elevator and will explain all the keys, when you go upstairs. This is such a cute, small bed and breakfast (6 rooms). The breakfast is typical Italian breakfast (croissants, meats, cheese etc). A younger gentleman is there to help with breakfast. Our room (room 1) had a balcony and we were able to enjoy a couple of concerts in the park, from our balcony. We also had access to the kitchenette area so we could grab dishes and glasses if we needed. Both gentleman spoke Italian (which is expected in Italy) but were very patient in my use of a translator app to communicate. Our room was clean and set up very nicely. Large and enjoyable. The only complaint is the neighbor's dog. The neighbor isn't a very good dog owner.

We didn’t speak the language but the hosts were very polite and used translation app to communicate. We were greeted in the street and escorted into our accommodation. Our room was lovely and had a view of Mt Etna. Great location.

Det kändes som att man kommit hos nära släkting . Värd var otrolig hjälpsam med allt, från och med att vänta på oss vid bus stationen vid ankomst tom att lämna lägenhetsnycklar till oss for att hämta vår baggage vid avgång. Vi kunde själv bestäma vad vill vi äta för frukost och han ordnade detta. Rumet och badrumet var rena bekväma och i utmärkt skick säng bekvämt ,en tjusigt balkong med utsikt mot Vesuvio . Lägenheten finns på huvudgsta i Catania men det är lungt på kvällen. Rekomenderas hjärtlig.

Owner is very friendly and goes above and beyond to help. Space was sufficient and clean, conveniently located. Elevators onsite so no need to carry your luggage through stairwells. This B&B doesn’t have any signage but upon arrival the owner showed up and brought us to the correct floor and helped us get settled in.

Bra läge på via Etnea. Hållplats för flygbuss direkt utanför entrén. Trevlig värd som tyvärr inte pratar engelska. Ingen frukostbuffé, utan värden fixar enligt önskemål. Ingen riktig hotellentre så det kan vara svårt att hitta första gången, men värden kom direkt efter telefonsamtal. Finns balkonger med utsikt över staden och mot Etna. Rent och fint rum. Överlag bra och prisvärt.

Nothing special. It was very difficult to figure out where to go once we were inside the building. No indication whatsoever. Luckily another customer saw us (we looked lost with our suitcases) and told us to go to the 5th floor. A lot of mosquitoes!!!

Papali 289 befindet sich in einem hinteren Abteil des Hauses. Es ist kein Klingelschild, noch sonstige Information zu lesen. Erst auf Nachfrage wurden wir in einen dunklen Flur gebeten, um mit einem sehr alten und fragwürdigen Aufzug in die 5. Etage zu fahren. Das Treppenhaus war ebenfalls sehr dunkel und schmutzig. Die Unterkunft war zwar sauber und modern eingerichtet. Der Sohn des Besitzers, welcher sich um das Organisatorische und Frühstück kümmert, sorgte jedoch für einen nicht empfehlenswerten Aufenthalt. Als wir ankamen sagte man uns, dass wir kein Frühstück gebucht hatten. Erst nach viel Überzeugungsarbeit glaubte man uns schließlich. Am nächsten Morgen erhielten wir zwei kleine Croissants und ein Heißgetränk. Auf Nachfrage am nächsten Morgen auch etwas Herzhaftes wie Brot oder Aufschnitt zu bekommen wurde mit Protest bejaht. So erhielten wir an den darauffolgenden Tagen ein Brötchen, wenige Scheiben Käse, Butter und ein Croissant. Er bereitete es sehr langsam zu und reagierte auf Nachfragen stets genervt und unhöflich. Am Abreisetag verlangte er die Tax während des Frühstücks, obwohl darum gebeten wurde es anschließend in Ruhe zu klären. Er schaute durchgehend Videos, sprach kaum englisch, versuchte nicht Informationen zu beschreiben oder zu übersetzen und ließ uns warten. Insgesamt waren die Räumlichkeiten der Unterkunft zwar modern gestaltet, der Service und Umgang jedoch unmenschlich und nicht empfehlenswert.
