Staff not available after 7pm, when they finally came they couldn’t fix the safe. The bed was very hard and I couldn’t sleep at all. The room was very stuffy. The area felt unsafe.

Property was spectacular. Breakfast was adequate. Drunk Bros bar across the road is a must. Area just very run down and dirty. Real shame. Be great if there were a pool but the hotel was beautiful !

Home from home
The hotel was tastefully decorated. The seating area downstairs was co-ordinated and the chairs were comfortable. It gave a cosy feeling. It was nice to sit out in the square to have breakfast. The bedroom was spacious. The hotel was in a quiet area but perhaps the air conditioning was a little noisy. We did not turn it off as it was hot. A special word of thanks should go to the staff. They were all very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

Very nice Hotel and breakfast was great. However, the shower is setup in a way that it splashed everywhere while showering, other than that it's a good hotel and very clean. 10-15 minutes walk to the busy main street where all restaurant and attractions are.

Staff welcoming and very helpful. They arranged transfers and were happy to give lots of information on local area and things to see. We arrived early and our room was ready. Room very spacious and spotless. Hotel old worldly. Lovely terrace which was a welcome oasis from busy streets. The bar and Restaurant were good with again friendly and helpful staff. We used the restaurant on 2 evenings and we had plenty of choice at breakfast. Would stay there again if in Catania

Good hotel but needs modernising
Average hotel in reasonable area not far from the station and the main attractions. Friendly staff and good breakfast (and great cocktails!) but the hotel needs modernising - especially the bathrooms/showers.

2 stars at best.
This is at best a 2 star property. Super old, not maintained, tiny rooms and horribly furnished. Will avoid staying here at all costs in the future.

Great Deal in the Middle of Catania
We just stayed in the Katane on our first in after arriving in Sicily. The hotel had a room ready for us with an early check in so we could crash after two flights in from the US. Rested we were able to park just outside the door or use their inside garage. Having had Sicilian hotel breakfasts in over 20 different places in three trips over the past three summers I can say that the Kantane's was as good or better than any we have had. The dining room and courtyard are old world beautiful and prittier than the pictures show. All of Catania's beautiful sights are within a mile and the hotel resides in a typical Catanian urban neighborhood. The standard double room has a big bed and great bathroom that reminded me of some London high-end hotel bathrooms. Very friendly and attentive front desk staff round out the hotel. We liked it so much for our first night we rebooked it and stayed our last night in Sicily for our morning flight. I took 13 minutes to drive to the airport.

From the outside, the hotel is unremarkable, but once inside the decor and courtyard help one feel one has stepped back in time to an age of luxury. The staff were friendly and helpful.

I liked the attractive courtyard in the building. My room was pleasant and quiet. The reception staff were friendly and efficient. I would have liked to be able to read in bed before going to sleep but the bedside light was woefully inadequate for this purpose. Also, the restaurant staff, although friendly, were extremely slow. The evening we had supper in the hotel, we had to get up and start to walk out of the restaurant in order to get them to notice that we wanted the bill.

Breakfast was appalling for a 4* hotel - 2 out of 5 morning there was no hot water to make tea, no freshly squeezed juice, plastic cups instead of glasses. Cheese, hams, croissants were stale - left over from day before and day before that etc. when any item finished, it was never topped up. only one hot item - scrambled egg.

Comfortable, well run and reasonably priced hotel.
We were very impressed with Katane Palace Hotel. There is 24 hour desk service; vallet parking and help with baggage; There is a small bar open with sandwiches as well as drinks. The breakfast provided a range of many alternatives from which one could choose. The environment was clean and all in all pleasant. We were able to walk to the downtown area- quite a distance, but worth the effort as the downtown square has some nice statues; a small fountain statue, and two large cathedrals. There are many Italian restaurants on and just off the main avenue going downtown..
