“Excelent Hotel, friendly staff”

Very friendly and helpful, rooms are nice and clean.

“Friendly and Lovely!”

This B&B was wonderful; the staff were extremely helpful and patient with our limited Italian! They called affordable taxis for us for the airport when we needed them at early/late times. Everything was clean and newly renovated, and the breakfast was amazing with a great view. Broadband ethernet internet was in the rooms! It is kind of difficult to find the building (it is unmarked with signs), but once you get in there, it's a really wonderful place.

“A very nice place to stay”

A real surprise a lovely little B&B with warm and very friendly staff and a 5 minute walk to the railway station. I would not want to walk alone in the area at night though.

“The hotel was great but the neighborhood was not so great”

This hotel was recently totally renovated top to bottom and is extremely nice, everyone was cordial and could not do enough to support. However the neighborhood is not so good. If we were going to do this trip again and stay on the eastern portion of Sicily we'd stay in Taormina. The good thing about Catania is you can travel north or south in about an hour either way but there were really only a couple of things to see. I'd really love to say Catania is a can't miss just because of the hotel but I can't. I don't want to give the impression that the hotel was grand it wasn't, it was clean and hospitable.

“B&B not a Hotel. Great room though, but shame about the noise!”

Staff very friendly, though communication in english was a little difficult. The outside common areas of the building looked like a bomb hit them - but inside the B&B it was very nice! We were woken very early by builders working on the upstairs floor. Hopefully this will only be temporary while works are going on. However there was no warning of this! Other than the amazing espresso coffee on offer - the breakfast buffet offered only plastic-wrapped toast and croissants with jams and nutella - we ended up bringing along our own savoury ingredients. We could only get WiFi access by hanging our laptop out the window.

“Lovely B&B; but not in the best of locations”

Very clean B&B with lovely people running it. It's good value (cheaper than most) because it's in a run down, slightly edgy area of town.

“DeCurtis in Catania”

Not much on the outside of this B&B located 5 min from Catania's train station but once inside, nice decor and comfortable rooms. Stayed in family room which was nice size for 4. Friendly staff and simple but filling breakfast of cappuccino and toast/croissant everyday. Always greeted with friendly hello. Great bargain for family of 4 staying at this small B&B. Not in center of town but easy 10 min walk away. Surrounding neighborhood is somewhat gritty but excellent for its proximity to public transportation.

“Great value hotel”

I found the staff at the hotel extrememly friendly and willing to help. The rooms were large and looked newly refurbished with modern shower and plasma tv. The only issue with this hotel is the location. It is in a bit of an unsavoury area, but if you are spending most of your time in the central part of Catania or going for a Mt Etna visit it isn't a problem.

“Quality for low price”

Sevice was great! Very pleasant people. The only issue was that there was absolutely no sign of this B&B on the door or surroundings that I found weird. But the receptionist saw a taxy and came out to open the door. The restaurant recommended by the receptionist that was situated 50 metrers from the B&B, was marvelous.

“Nice & Friendly”

Although not a true hotel, more a very good B & B, the De Curtis met our needs as a base for the time in Catania. It was reasonably priced & located, mid way between the railway station and the centre of Catania. The staff were helpful and we found all we needed with their help. The pick up/drop off offered was hit and miss though and not to be relied on.
