2-Star Hotels in Catania

The website clearly doesn’t reflect reality. This is NOT a place we would ever enter willingly again. The rooms are nothing like advertised .From the reception where we were handed a room key and an air conditioner remote ( yes - and don’t ask me why the remote is not left in the room with the air conditioner!) through the narrow steep stairs ( there is no lift) and corridors that smelt of stale food, to what was touted as a room for 4 people with mini bar and balcony, things only declined. The room was awful. And that is putting it kindly. Green walls with a weird “ damp effect” that makes it look like the walls are peeling, dirty looking green bedcovers and matching curtains and furniture that looks battered and grey. The sheets at least seemed clean but one of the bedcovers had a hole it it - a cigarette burn. An awful bathroom where the flush didn’t work and you had to put your hand INTO the flush by lifting the cover and putting your hand into the mechanism to manually lift the lever...No fridge, no balcony - instead a window that overlooked a fire escape with a view of a red bucket and a a broom... Can it get worse? Yes, because the rooms stank of cigarette smoke.....and don’t start me on the lighting - dull and grey. An utterly depressing miserable room.... We spent 15 minutes in the room, got onto the Internet ( and I have to say the WiFi seemed to work well) and booked a fabulous set of clean,, joyful COVID compliant rooms exactly a 4 minute walk away. And left. We paid 84 euros ( yes you get what you pay for) for spending 15 min in this place and the pleasure of knowing we will never return. So unless you are someone who just needs a place to sleep, don’t worry too much about sanitized spaces, couldn’t be bothered about a loo that doesn’t works and don’t mind cigarette burns on your bedcovers and the smell of stale cigarettes, this place may not work for you.....And don’t ever go with kids. Mine are pretty hardy and have travelled around the globe - but this place got them depressed in minutes. Escape was a joy.

Only stayed at B&B 5 Balconi for 1 night but left a very great impression and great start to our trip around Sicily. Firstly, id like to thank Rob for his help and hospitality. We unfortunately had an issue with our rental vehicle which provided a deal of stress on the Saturday evening. However Rob was very welcoming, cool and collective and settled us in on the late evening. We also managed to leave with the B&B Keys - Rob was very understanding and we managed to post them back with no issue. Communication was great. The accommodation was very homely with great décor around. Comfy bed, nice view of the hectic Catania roads, stones throw from popular sites and an excellent breakfast. I had the Pistachio Croissant with filtered coffee which was delicious. Thank you again.

This is a lovely Hotel in a central location. A very big plus point for this hotel is that it does have a lift, a small lift, but I have stayed in old building like this and having a lift is a bonus. Another bonus was the FREE safe in the room, again I have stayed in similar hotels that charge for this. We booked a superior room to make sure we had an EnSite bathroom, the room was large (very large) with a nice balcony overlooking Via Etnea, despite this the room was very quiet at a nighttime even though the street remained very busy. No breakfast here, but a very nice cafe on the street next door and numerous other places for breakfast close by. Would I stay here again, defiantly but I would go for the Superior room again.

We stayed at the Villa Romeo for 5 nights and had an excellent experience. The hotel is very well situated, right across the street from Palermo Centrale train and bus station, and 10 mins by car from Catania airport. The building is ancient but very well maintained. Rooms were spacy and spotlessly clean. Slightly noisy during the night due to some external sounds, maybe air conditioning machines, but nothing much. Breakfast was simple but tasty, fresh bread and great coffee to order. A special word on Francesco at the reception, who was outstanding with arrangements, always had great advice on places to visit and was even instrumental in getting back my wife's purse, forgotten on a train carriage. All in all a great experience.

Wifi is only available around the reception. Location is good. I won’t recommend the hotel due to the one rude staff who blamed me for putting a key on the wrong door(there were two doors before the reception). At that time I was super tired after walking all day but he ordered me to wait until he finished talking on the phone with angry face. He called me off that I almost damaged the door by clicking the key too much and the other customers could haven’t use it then I have to pay for the damage. He even mentioned the price for it. Then I had to show him that I can use the keys in the right place and turn them properly. The worst customer service I’ve ever had and my trip was damaged..

We had booked this hotel in particular due to the central location and affordability. It is not a regular hotel but rather an apartel with rooms and located on the second floor of an older building. Rooms well furnished and bathroom usable but probably needs refurbishing. Rooms facing the street are subjected to the noice from a busy street all day and night long. The reception is not open 24/7 but accessible outside hours by keys. The service was friendly and accommodating

My friend and I stayed here for a few days in September for the duration of our visit to Catania. Martina was so lovely and helpful - she recommended restaurants, gave us information on navigating the local public transportation system and went out of her way to accommodate us in any way she could. The rooms were spacious, clean and the air con was a god send! We will definitely be back - thanks to Martina and her staff for a lovely stay.
