Very happy with accommodations and value. Room was clean and bed comfortable. Secured building and entrance. Marco was helpful throughout entire visit and prior to arrival. Loved the personal attention. It would be great if they served a simple breakfast. I think would really be a nice touch and fun to meet other guest. Location was awesome.

Special place in Catania
Catania Inn was an excellent stay in Catania. It really made my trip to Sicily memorable. The place was cozy, tidy, and quiet. Marco was an exceptional host and was always friendly and in great communication. The location was excellent, as it was within a very short walking distance to majority of the sights, and things to do, and amazing restaurants and cafes. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Hotel was very secure and in a central city location. The room was large with a balcony overlooking the street. It came equipped with an Internet access TV, a small refrigerator, and a pot to make hot water for coffee and tea. The air conditioner worked well and kept the room cool The bathroom was a good size as was the shower. A wash cloth was provided, which is unusual for Italian hotels. The hotel and room are an exceptional value for the money spent.

This property is in in the middle of the old town of Catania and is very accessible to venues in this location. It is located within walking distance to everything in the old town. Although the apartment itself was very good and clean, the downtown area itself could use a good cleaning as it is filled with cigarette butts and trash in the streets.

Highly recommended - an inn with great staff
I stayed in five hotels in Sicily, and this one was my favorite by far. Most of the time at a bed and breakfast where there is not full-time staff on the premises the service will not be very good. The Catania Inn was an exception. I arrived earlier than their stated check-in time, but the staff were there to greet me and show me the facilities. They were polite, courteous, and professional. I was also given a very handy map of the area with important sites and with terrific restaurant suggestions. The hotel room was quite clean and comfortable and had plenty of space. The Catania Inn is also very close to the bus and train stations, as well as to all the great sites in the city. I enjoyed my stay very much and would recommend Catania Inn to anyone visiting the city.

Great base from where to explore Catania
This is a friendly place tucked away behind a door that opens into a courtyard from which you reach the actual building. The building is old but the B&B has been brought up to modern standards without losing its charm. Marco was very friendly and helpful whenever we needed tips or advice. It's right in the city center, so you can reach all the highlights within minutes. We would definitely come here again.

The staff were absolutely amazing and completely accommodating. They gave us tips, found us lockup parking next door, they were excellent with accommodating the children, they were exceedingly friendly and helped us to and from the car. The inn is very close to the central duomo square, which made it easy to move around. The advert is slightly misleading as the facilities in the room itself do not include the full list there, which had been one of the main reasons for booking this place. There was no washing machine, the tea and coffee and toaster are in other shared rooms. There is a bedroom which has four beds and is very spacious, then a dining room next door with only a cupboard for clothes and a fridge. There’s no facility to wash up anything you’ve eaten in the dining space other than in your bathroom sink, so the concept of having a dining table and a fridge was slightly perplexing other than to store water in and briefly sit down in. Overall, we liked the B and B and the staff were exceptional. It just wasn’t quite what we had expected in terms of the rooms own facilities, according to the list as shown on the website for the room we had.

Good location, Wifi Good, Clean, Excellent Servi
The Catania Inn B&B, is located in a very good neighborhood, a few blocks away from the outdoor fresh market, Piazza Duomo, Roman ruins and Benedictine Monastery of San Nicolò. From the airport the best direct transportation is book airport pick-up with the Catania Inn B&B. Other transportation is provided by taxi, a local city bus or the 'Alibus'. Ask for info & costs at the airport Tourist Information. My wife and I booked the Beige Room - clean, large bath & shower - heating is very good. There's a common refrigerator available, a tea area set up with bottled water, tea and an espresso machine for afternoon and evening breaks. The breakfast area with TV is large - open 8 through 10 a.m. Fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, olives, sun dried tomatoes, bread, cold-cuts, cake, pastry, cereal and of course espresso, cappuccino & tea. Excellent service is provided by Roberto, Marco and Eva.

Catania Inn: Home Central
We had a great time in Catania, going up Mt. Etna, spending a day in Taormina and using Catania Inn as our daily "home base" added extra ease and enjoyment to our 6 days in the region! The daily breakfasts got us off to a good start, the inn was very clean, the hosts were friendly, and Marco spoke English and helped us book a tour and rent a car once we left for Noto. We'd return!

Great people to deal with. Friendly, helpful and efficient. Our train was several hours late getting there and they waited until 2 A.M to check us in! When we asked if they could find a driver to take us to Pietraperzia it was done within minutes and we went the next day.

everybody was very nice, the room was big and comfortable. We knew from the beginning that the room was not going to be cleaned everyday and that was fine with us. we had Help arriving to the bed and breakfast. We had help finding a taxi to take us to the airport, great recommendations for things to do and where to eat. but the best was the breakfast they left for us in the fridge for the next day. We had an early departure and they left us food ready.

AMAZING B&B-SUPERB SERVICE & LOCATION. GREAT STAFF
We totally LOVE Catania Inn! Beginning with Marco who took excellent care of us, before and during our stay. The location is impossible to beat, just 150 mts. from the amazing Greek-Roman Theater, a unique master piece. Also, just 200 mts. from the Duomo and few more steps to "La Pescheria" the incredible historical open fish Market of the city. Catania is kind of underrated, as it an beautiful historical city and way, less chaotic than Palermo. I would return to Catania anytime, and obviously, stay in Catania Inn. Don't look further, stay here.
