Great value, close to city centre.
Incredible value, large kitchen with table four chairs,cooking facilities if required. Large bedroom with A/C and plenty of wardrobe space. 3 balconies overlooking street from 2nd floor. Bed was very comfortable indeed. We needed to ask for a change of bed linen after a few days but, having asked was remedied the same day. Very close to the centre of Catania, Roman theatre, amazing, & the Ampitheatre. Downside was traffic noise, they love to beep their hooters, but relatively quiet after 11pm till 8 am in the morning. Overall a great value apartment with the city on your doorstep.

Again very nice stay - for the 2nd time :)
It was a really nice stay. This is our second time in this hotel. The place is well equipped, they even gave us some more kitchenware when we ask for some additional things. The staff is very nice and polite. The place is almost near duomo and is in the center with walking distance to all tourist attractions. Once you get to the hotel you don't need a car if you want just stay in Catania. I would recommend the hotel for sure and if we go for third time we will definitely try to stay there again :)

Good location and value in Catania
Very good location. Close to all major tourist sites. Some street noise. Apartment was clean, comfortable and spacious. Occasional drain smell in bathroom. Basic but plentiful and good value buffet breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Transfer from and to airport was quick, efficient and good value. This is not a luxury hotel and there are smarter areas but, overall, it represents good quality and value. Recommended.

Never say 'No' to Politi (Catania)
Great location. A group of friendly and helpful staff. We were happy staying there and it was the right choice choosing Politi. Their airport shuttle service was excellent too.

Politi Hotel very near the city centre.
Huge rooms very near the centre. The rooms were much bigger than we expected. A nice balcony with a view of the street, very nice to sit on in the afternoon. Very friendly staff. They were very helpful. Unfortunately the washing machine didn't work and cutlery and pots and pans were quite minimal. If you go by car, take your own cooking gear! The bed was very comfortable and very clean, so was the rest of the hotel. Very near is a pizzeria, a bakery and dozens of little shops so food and drink is always nearby. The centre is only 2 minutes walk! Bear in mind though, Catania is not a quiet city. Until midnight and again at 6am it can be quit noisy. But for 2 weeks holiday it was perfect!

Needs refreshing.
The appartment furniture needs changing. The television must be 20 years old and was noisy. The furniture was broken. There is no service during your stay. You manage your own garbage. The elevator is slow and tricky to use. The bed squeaks and is not comfortable.

Good large rooms, close walk to everything.
This is residential apartment so you don't get a daily service. The room was clean and spacious and the kitchen equipped with all the essentials (except a cork screw / bottle opener so remember to bring one). The hotel is close to all the main attractions in town. This is a good place to stay. I recommend it!

Need more professionalism
This is not a hotel, they are appartments, so no reception nor good service. But it is perfect if you want privacy or just to sleep few hours. You can even sleep 4 people in a doublé room, they wouldn´t notice. Before our stay we asked for the transfer to the airport, which was supposed to cost 15€ but we were asked to pay 25€ for theluggage. We declined. When we arrived to the hotel (at the announced time), the smiley girl waiting for us was actually leaving the place, we met her in the street. The appartment is very well located, near the Duomo, although some families would distrust the surroundings for the external appareance of the buildings. The building is renovated and well decorated, very clean, but freezingly cold and there was nota single blanket available.

Great place to spend a few days
The hotel was in good condition, very clean, and very close to all the main Plazas. However, the check in desk was not 24hrs giving only a small window to check in and ask questions about the surrounding area's attractions and restaurants.

Politi Hotel
We stayed there for 5 nights on October. The studio flat is well equipped ( pans,cutlerys,glasses,fridge but no washing liquid,oil etc...). We always had hot water.The bed was relativly comfortable. My only problem was the cleaning. Nobody chas come during the 5 days to clean the bathroom or the main area or replace toilet rolls and after beeing on the beach and all over the city the floor gets really dirty. We were even planning to ask for a broom and shovel but nobody was at the reception during the weekend neither. Don't trust the reception opening hours( they seem to be there only when someone was due to arrive to the hotel) but the lad was very helpful when we managed to catch him. He helps about local things( buses, where to find places). The hotel is not far from the city centre and the food market is 2 min walk ( we went there nearly every day to buy fresh food). The place is quiet itself but you will hear constant horning buy cars when they crossing the street ( this is normal here). Overall I would recommend the hotel for those who have no high expectations ( you have to accept that this is SICILY and they have different culture and attitude which we really enjoyed and found amusing sometimes).

Poop and garbage on the streets, crazy traffic, typical Catania. Hotel is nice and the staff is very friendly but no sound isolation in the rooms from the neighbours and whining children or from the outside cars and yelling drunk teenagers. Didn’t like Catania, won’t go back, too ghetto

Catania foi uma surpresa agradável na nossa viagem. Nossas expectativas não eram altas e achamos a cidade muito agradável. Isso se deve muito ao hotel que possui um anúncio condizente com o que vimos, e com um preço mais que justo. A localização é ótima, para não dizer perfeita. Próximo a tudo. Deixamos o carro no estacionamento ao lado por um preço de 10 euros/dia e fizemos tudo a pé. O quarto é enorme e repleto de comodidades. Lavei as roupas e tinha uma cozinha individual que não usamos. O secador de cabelo é muito bom também. Excelente custo x beneficio no geral.

Non accogliente ma funzionante
L'appartamento conteneva il necessario e non ci sono stati problemi, sebbene non fosse affatto accogliente bensì molto minimale e spoglio. La doccia era chiusa anche nella parte alta, per cui mi sentivo in un loculo, però funzionava tutto e non posso di certo lamentarmi. C'era scritto che la pulizia era settimanale, invece entrava qualcuno tutti i giorni a sistemare. La zona è centrale, strade strette e parcheggi auto in strada a pagamento oppure in un garage privato, sempre a pagamento (10 euro al giorno).

Ottimo, con un bel risparmio
Esperienza positiva, anche e solo per una notte. Buona l'accoglienza e la disponibilità del personale anche per risolvere piccoli problemi. Ottima organizzazione e appartamento discreto, abbastanza confortevole. Nell' appartamento c'è tutto, dalla cucina con stoviglie, al divano al tavolo, al bagno con doccia e bidet, ai condizionatori, fondamentali d'estate a Catania. Grazie anche per la bottiglia di acqua offerta all'arrivo, apprezzatissima! Posizione al centro di Catania, con possibilità di raggiungere a piedi i principali punti di interesse del centro storico.
