Pro: convient, and the, shuttle service to and from the airport is awesome. Staff is very nice. You can take a city bus #524 into and from Catania for 1 euro one way. Stop is about a block away from the hotel. The Morning breakfast is plentiful but nothing special.The rooms are big which is nice as I had to repack suitcases for the flight to the states home. And the mattresses were good.
Con: The restaurant in the evening is NOT GOOD. The service is fine but I probably had the worst meal in all of Sicily there. Mind you my husband and I only wanted something light to eat, not a 3 course meal. I ordered Minestrone soup. It was broth with frozen vegetables and a few potatoes cut up. Really? Cambells soup is better. My husband ordered some pasta with egg plant he could not finish it. No tomato sauce or creamy sauce. He kept choking on it. I would recommend you eat dinner else where.also the hotel sits in a industrial area but I never felt unsafe coming or going to the hotel when I was out walking.
Also just be aware the hotel is heavily used.There is a high turn over rate of customers. I think most people stay just a night or two. Because of the high turn over rate the wear and tear shows on the carpets, the walls, the elevators, the furniture etc. I really think the price for one night stay is over priced. But I think it is the connivence you pay for.
Overall, I would stay here again if I had a flight out of Catania. The staff and the Connivence were worth it for us.
