What people say
The place had a cosy and warm atmosphere. Everyone had an open access to the kitchen which was combined with dinning room, where cakes, coffee, tea, juice, water and other things were available at any time of the day. Room was spacious with marvellous sealing. Location was great - just a few meters from via Etnea and beautiful city park - safe and full of coffee places and shops. My room had an external bathroom, which wasn´t a problem, since it was just 3 steps from my room. Excellent place an. all reviews »
Hotel is absolutely fantastic. you can realy feel like home. Big rooms, all day acces to the kitchen, clean. It is in the center so it is noisy from the street but after dinner its becoming quiet. You have 5 minutes to main road and restaurants. The street market with fresh fruits, chees, seafoodis round the corner. Staff is unbelivebly friendly and it was the best hoteli have ever been. Feels like home!.
Good option in Catania.
Decent b&b, very clean and nicely decorated.
Good location – close to the main street via Etnea and only 15 mins to the cathedral. B&B itself is quiet.
Internet connection quick.
Breakfast – coffee excellent , didn’t try croissants as were pre-packed .
The Owner is very nice and accommodating. You can pay with credit card.
impressed by the style of the property and service by the owners (brothers), they took care of us, made sure we were contacted before arrival, got help with luggage. Breakfast was simple but more than sufficient and appropriate for Sicilian setting, rooms and bathrooms very clean, location central, exactly what we wanted from our stay in Catania.
This is a fantastic B&B. We booked the place due to the very reasonable price and location. It is extremely central and the actual B&B has been done up to a very high standard. The owner Gildo is extremely helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high quality at a reasonable price.
Location in the very city center. The room is confortable, air conditioning available. Clean toilette. A dining room available h24 where you can always find something to eat and drink. We really appreciated fresh water in the fridge.
we liked the arrangements/furniture
bathroom - excelent
I liked also the owner - very friendly and the young guy/staff is very efficient.
We look forward to come again!.
I've never see such beautiful and perfect-made B&B. Really If you would like to sleep at Ritz, please choose this B&B ;-) You will never regret this decision!.
Location: it is next to some important and busy streets of Catania.
Breakfast is available 24 hours (as well as cold water in the fridge).
Free wi-fi works well.
The decoration of the hotel is very impressif and luxurious. My parents think that it's the best hotel in the whole journey. Very Excellent hotel.
Really wonderful hotel, strongly proposed to others. The hotel is very kind to provide us with a bathroom to take a shower after check out time!.
This place was very nice and clean, good location in the centre of the city, lovely atmosfere. I would give my best recomendations.
We arrived much later than promised, but we were admitted without problems, balcony in each room, great view of the street.
Staff was very helpful, room and bathroom were clean, centrally located just off Via Etnea, good value for money.
Staff was very welcoming and recommended amazing restaurants! The room is very nicely decorated and clean.

Room had great & high ceiling.
fine rooms & fine hotel.
Excellent rooms and service.
Clean and comfortable enough. Good price and location.
Our room smelled cigarettes but as we stayed only one night, it was ok.
There is no reception. To check in one has to call the owner and arrange a meeting.. this is not convenient, especially for strangers.
The OUTER part of the building is very old with safety nets under the balconies, which are though common in Catania.
I didn't like we stayed only one night...we will come again!.
There's no private parking.
It doesn't have reception until 4 pm, which makes it quite hard to check-in before that.
It's in the second floor, with no elevator.
there is no reception, so you have to call the owner of the place to get inside - sometimes he does not answer at the same moment.
Private toilet, but outside the room, been looking for a parking lot, had to ostalyayut car in a nearby area, 4th floor, no lift.
Breakfast was a bit too basic.
No!.
Well I dont't think that there is something not to like.
- wifi did not work.
caretaker arrived late and mistook us for an other guest. after this was settled everything was ok. carrying bags up and down the stairs is a challenge!.
No one on site. There seemed to be a problem with the air conditioning and there was no one to report it to until the following morning. Felt a bit vulnerable with the lack of of management on site.
