Luxury Catania

The location is very good, really near from the tourist attractions. It is also surrounded with restaurants and bars. The big local market is just right to the next street. The neighborhood may look odd from the beginning but it is safe. The bed is comfortable. This is a free breakfast place, but the breakfast options are the easy to go ones. The owner doesn’t speak English but can work with google translate. He also offers a shuttle service from the airport to the hotel for €20. The walls are so thin so you can hear everything outside of your bedroom. This is most likely ideal for young people as the place is in front of different bars, so, it is very loud during the evening until 1 in the night.

Helpful and friendly hotel. It was good. Staff were friendly and helped out with any questions we had.

Enkelt centralt boende Enkelt boende med fin utsikt mot torg. Extremt störande nattliv från barer precis under rummet.

There was nothing luxurious about “Luxury Catania”. The pictures shown on the ******* site for this property do not match. It is definitely not the same place! I was looking for a place to stay that had an elevator and free breakfast. The ******* site said this property was on 1 floor and had an elevator. What we got was a place that had no elevator, we had to climb 2 very narrow staircases…too narrow to take our suitcases to the 2nd floor where the beds and bathroom were. We had to leave our large suitcases on the first floor as it was too dangerous to carry them up the stairs. I was also looking for a place that could accommodate 3 adult seniors. The ******* site showed 2 queen beds side by side and a modern bathroom. What we got was a queen bed in one bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room. The bathroom was old and very narrow. Only one person at a time could fit. The ******* site also stated a breakfast buffet from 6 to 10 daily. What we got was a tray of packaged dry toast, some packaged croissants, little cakes, and juice boxes in a warm refrigerator. The reviews stated that the Luxury Catania was a quiet place. Well it was not. There is a football club next door and we heard men screaming and yelling during a football game. Not to mention the neighbors and the neighborhood cats…both nights. I called the ******* customer service and spoke with a supervisor Aieda. She tried to help me find a new place but unfortunately most places were sold out.

Stay away Host came right into my room and woke me up. Did not knock or anything. Just locked himself in. Could not speak english at all. Demanded I left the room because the cleaning lady was there. THIS WAS BEFORE CHECKOUT TIME! Stood in my room yelling something in italian for 10 minutes before he left. Not recommended…

Sicilian adventure Quick stop over before travelling done the coast checking in wasn’t the best bit like Fawlty Towers
