9/10 Wonderful! (42 reviews)

Check-in/ check-out was easy. Staff were very helpful and sat down with me to discuss suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants in the area…which was helpful. Location was 3 blocks from the train station which brought us directly to Catania airport in an hour. It was about a 10-15 minute walk to the bridge crossing into Ortegia.

Extremely austere. Not having wifi in the room nowadays is like not having running water.
