Il Gattopardo House

World best location in that city. With full of safety for traveling

The Hotel is just in the center area, right next to the main sightseeings, easy to reach by Alibus (Catania’s Airport shuttle bus, cost 4€) get off at Stesicoro stop and you’ll be just few steps away. The room was cozy and bathroom is private and recently renovated, they help me storage my luggage before my flight, so I could enjoy the city till the last moment, Excellent service from Serafina and her husband!

Check in was perfect, they let me drop my bags off early so I didn’t have to carry them round. Check out on the other hand, I needed to check out at 8am and there was no one on reception. It is supposed to be staffed at 8am. I called the number on the door and got send to voicemail twice, in the end I missed my bus and had to wait at the bus stop for forty minutes for the next one

I really liked the location and the decor of the building - inside and out. The pricing is very reasonable and the staff is great. I had a large room with private, external, bathroom down the hall. Room was great; bathroom sadly had some issues with water leaking onto the floor, but this was duly reported to the management, so should not be a problem in future.

The location is ACE. Seriously, I can see few better. You’re literally off the heart of Via Etna and yet the street is quiet. I had a room with an outside bathroom. Both were immaculately clean. Good water pressure for the shower and hot water anytime. Hair dryer provided too. Honestly the walk from my room to the bathroom is not that big a deal and I knew it was separate going in. The bed was SO comfortable! Not too hard nor too soft. Pillows also very good, in that vein of being perfectly medium. There’s an extra duvet in the roomy closet as the floor tiles are cold. You can put heating on though: there’s an AC unit with directions for best and cold. I didn’t turn it on so I don’t know how well it heats. Desk in the room to work as well if you wish. The room fridge is benefit and the host kindly offers gratis a cooled bottle of water and a soda in there. Definitely comfortable for solo traveler or a couple for a few nights. Wifi was overall great for uploading photos and videos on social but a bit iffy with video calls. Absolutely gorgeous salon/parlour! Minor cons: The TV didn’t work and wasn’t fixed despite me asking one AM. But this is SO minor, as I only wanted to turn it on for background noise once. The reception also gave an Asian tourist an eye roll one time for asking to eat breakfast in the parlour. So it’s just for show and to taunt guests??!!
