Catania hotels near Piazza Universita

Pros: Very clean and helpful staff. Will visit again.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Parking facility?

Pros: The location is really great. Just 15mins by walk down to the city centre. If you reach there by flight then you can take Alibus at the airport (it operates even at night but google map doesn't show it operates at night). Take Alibus and get off at "Bellini" stop and then just several mins by walk, you will find this apartment. The room is suitable for four persons and it's very clean and cozy. The breakfast is also good but please don't expect it too much and it's mainly breads and cakes and coffee.

Cons: far away from the train station (around 25mins by walk)

Pros: The breakfast was super, the staff are very friendly, kind. They could keep our lagguages till afternoon (start to airport). Our room was quiet. The building is front of the bus stop, in the centrum. Super location. The train station by walk about 15-20 min. Thank you for the gift prosecco :-))

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The bedrom is large, the location is perfect to visit Catania, very close from the main places. The breakfast is good and the staff is very helpfull and friendly. It is a perfect option to stay in Catania.

Cons: Everything was ok.

Pros: Hotel is located in the center walking distance to everywhere. Staffs were super helpful. Room was really clean. Toilet as well. Reception arranged take away breakfast since I checked out early morning.

Cons: WiFi was not reachable in the room.

Pros: It is very central and close to all amenities

Cons: No lift

Pros: The room was clean and lovely location.

Cons: Front desk was at the Hotel next door.

Pros: The location is central and the view is very beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. For parking we were redirected to a nearby safe location. I recommend parking because I had no problems although I forgot the bag in the car. Parking was paid.

Cons: Heating based on air conditioning. Bedside tables would have been necessary.

Pros: In the center of Catania, spacious room with good facilities. Nice staff.

Cons: Nothing, good quality/price

Pros: Man on reception was exceedingly helpful in sorting out my problematic onward booking.

Cons: No balcony, even though this was promised in my booking confirmation.

Pros: Clean comfortable and staff friendly

Pros: Really cheap, staff is excellent and helpful. Cheap self-service laundry (1.5 EUR for washing, 1.5 again for drying).

Cons: Location a bit sketchy. Rooms are college dorm rooms, with old furniture and lots of use. Breakfast not great, but to be expected for the price.

Pros: Nice interior and rooms comfortable. Seems it is a student residence / hotel in holiday season

Cons: Location- its in a very run down area and didn’t feel safe outside however it’s very convenient for the airport and just 15 Min walk to the historic old town.

Pros: Very spacious room with separate room for the kids.comfortable beds also. Good location, close to city center. Friendly staff also.

Cons: Very Pour breakfast.they tried to avoid refilling what was finished.also, we had to ask for fresh fruits and boiled eggs.the excuse was that the had run out of many things and the next replenishment would be 3days later!!! also the gym needs renovation because many things were out of order.

Pros: Super clean, super friendly, good location, good breakfast.

Pros: I came here after bad experiences in other places. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly from the beginning to the end. Especially one gentleman with glasses and the lady. The room was quite modern with security locs, air climation and the bathroom was very clean. Good wifi connection. There is a gym and breakfast included. I could finally do my laundry there too.

Pros: The staff are very helpful

Pros: Beds super comfy and amaeing huge shower. Nuxe toiletries. True that this hotel is not central but there is a lovely seaside promenade and great views.

Cons: Nothing - was a shame the roof terrace was shut! Very steep to get to the carpark.

Pros: The bed was firm, but surprisingly comfortable. About the eggs that everyone talks about - if you have breakfast around 7, the eggs will be runny. Around 8, it's slightly runny and around 9, the eggs are no longer runny. Other than that, we loved the fresh orange juice, the water pressure in the shower was great and our room was spacious.

Cons: During our stay, the hotel was undergoing renovations and it was noisy. There were times electricity was shut off (although they called us to let us know). The walls are also very thin, so you can hear everything. I'm sure the hotel operates better in the summer time.

Pros: Amazing room with a big terrace, nice perfume in the room, very good breakfast, Gaia the young lady from the reception was very frindly and profesional with us. A nice area and a beautiful view.

Pros: Hotel's position

Cons: Booked 3 nights two rooms the first night was screwed as they only booked one room when both were prepaid. Besides this a call received from the hotel in the morning did nothing to avoid this even I confirmed both rooms. The night receptionist tried to put blame on me, then her colleague and rudely telling us that the only alternative was that she can accommodate two of us in a flat 300 meters away. This screwed our first night, out of three, of a walk on the promenade. Thank you Gaia (the night receptionist), who really lacks some communication skills. The manager Luca Trovato, excused himself, though not personally by providing two bottles of sparkling wine and biscuits, the day after in each room. Despite this the girls at the reception, the day after were much more polite and accommodating.

Pros: In my view the price/quality ratio for this hotel is very good. For someone with a car this is a very good place to stay in in Catania. It is right on the coast with nice sea views and the hotel has a good underground garage. There is also on-street parking across the road. We note improvements every time we stay in this hotel; to the rooms and the common areas. The memory foam mattress was really really nice. The buffet breakfast is also really good and plentiful. There is an excellent restaurant right next door to the hotel.

Cons: Pity breakfast had to be served in a (nice) hall in the basement because the usually very nice rooftop breakfast room is undergoing refurbishment we were told.

Pros: Location, the lift was spacious and fast, comfortable bed and fridge.

Cons: Breakfast at the restaurant text door. The breakfast bar they set up was thrown together, dirty girdle, placed back out dry leftovers, wasn’t fresh and I saw a bug one day. They also don’t set out a fresh bottle of water. It’s an old bottle with a worn label that they refill will tap. Yes I took a photo, but I am not trying to shame the property. They just need a better breakfast set up with an establishment that takes pride OR bring breakfast into the hotel proper.,

Pros: The hotel is very well located. We asked for a quiet room and indeed got it! Room was clean but not exactly the most modern.

Cons: Some furniture seemed quite old. Moreover, they say the offer parking but you need to pay it 15 euros per night. Otherwise you'll need to look for it in the area.

Pros: good localization

Cons: too cold in bathroom

Pros: Everything met the expectation. confortable and quiet.

Pros: I was given a room in an adjacent building and ended up being locked in the building. I was charged for a large room which I had not requested which almost doubled the rate. As a solo traveler, I didn't feel safe in the building and didn't sleep. The decor needs upgrades, it's not at all cozy or warm.

Pros: Location and rooms are quite nice.

Cons: Sound isolation, too much noise.

Pros: Price was good, shopping and main piazza were within walking distance. The staff was very helpful and kind.

Cons: Place was run down, neglected, cold and needed painting. Blanket was wool and itchy sheets. Paint was peeling, no soap or other amenities. Towels were rough as sandpaper and old. The only heating in the room was from the air-conditioner, making the air horribly dry. There was no real breakfast. The number of keys required to get in or out would not shame a prison guard. In short, the price was low, but it felt like staying in a military dormitory.

Pros: * Very solid breakfast, not just sweet, also the option to fix some savory toasts. Fair value for that. * the place is located very close to the main sights of Catania and you can reach Piazza Duomo by foot. Very nice. * quite some opportunities to park your car on the local streets a few blocks away (Winter, so off-season...for crowded season time, the location offers private parking for a fair price) * friendly staff, free late check-in (not a given) * solid A/C with heating options (but you have to figure that out yourself) * nice little balcony towards the central courtyard * very comfortable bed

Cons: The rooms are a bit past their prime on some parts, especially the shower could have used some more intense cleaning/fixing. The room had a smell of old cigarettes/something similar, which mostly came from the bathroom. It's all non-smoking but it had the vibe of an old bar. Not very pleasant Seemingly offering things like an iron is not a given thing in Italy, which can be unfortunate for some...

Pros: Very friendly personnel Not too far from airport shuttle bus stop In a walking range to historical places Free mini bar beverages

Cons: Noicy street The room was smelling like after beer party

Pros: Very good hotel, staff friendly, a bit far from city centre but if you like walking it's a nice walk to center. Also the area is more quiet than the center and you can find restaurants and bars around. Location is very good if you want to be closer to the train station.

Pros: Great location and good breakfast!

Cons: The beds and pillows were not comfortable

Pros: The indoor garden and the help and kindness of the reception.

Cons: We would be happy with some vegetables for breakfast.

Pros: Breakfast was very good. Hotel premises and facilities are outstanding.

Cons: Only not so positive aspect was distance of hotel to places of interest, and difficult parking.

Pros: Breakfast was very good. The staff were very obliging and kind to us when we arrived very late due to a delayed flight. They directed us to park our hire car and took good care of watching it.

Cons: Nothing to complain about

Pros: Stayed here second time. Not so thrilled the second time, but when in Catania and want a decent hotel, I think if you like to walk to the center, this seems like a good choice. Decent size room, quite clean, good breakfast.

Cons: The room I've got the second time was not so good, it was facing the street thus noisy and there was a disturbing smell coming from the AC vents, which at night was pretty hard to endure. Also, we've got only one set of towels even if we were 2 in the room, This is not acceptable from my point of view for a 4 star hotel.Even more, the days that followed the situation continued, still a single towel for 2 persons.

Pros: breakfast average, staff ok

Cons: mattress is too hard
