Not a 4 star hotel
I wouldn't give this hotel more than 3 stars.
location is good but the hotel is quiet old and lacks facilities.
the car park is small and always full (we had to park the car on the street bc the hotel car park was full).
breakfast was poor too.
I personally won't stay at this place if I come back to Sicily.

Convenient location
Location is really good, close to Piazza Duomo, only few minutes walk. Lots of restaurants nearby. Triple room is pretty good, but wifi is sometimes stop in my room. Breakfast is just ok, not much choices. The man receptionist is very nice and helpful. He find me the way to Mt. Etna and Taormina and tell us us where to park the car. Very polite and helpful guy. The hotel has a carpark for guest which is free. But I doubt in high season cause not much spaces to park. Overall the hotel is nice and good to stay. Rocommended.

Good hotel and friendly staff. Convenient location if you want to explore areas around / near Catania. However it does need modernising, the decor is very dated and the pillows were hard! Overall pleasant hotel.

we enjoyed our stay, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was large, clean and comfortable. The only thing that could have been better was a bathtub that would have been easier to get in and out of. There was also some peeling paint in the bathroom.

Difficult to live in room
No wifi except in bathroom. One working outlet. Lights on timer didn't function well. Nowhere to put anything in bath. Had to balance toiletries on waste can. Shower so small nearly unusable. Breakfast uninspiring. Location good and room clean.

Not worthy of 4 stars!
After reading all the reviews, we were excited to stay here and couldn't wait to experience carnival 2015. The experience was a huge disappointment from start to finish.
The day before our arrival I emailed the hotel asking about transportation/directions from the bus stop, carnival activities and views from the hotel. I received no response to my email.
Upon arrival at the hotel after traveling all the way from Palermo for the Carnival events, we were told that Carnival was cancelled due to the rain. They refused to refund our reservation or allow us to cancel our booking.
Since we came to Acireale just for the Carnival events, the front desk suggested a warehouse we could visit 25 mins away where we could view the paper mâché floats. They also recommended a restaurant for lunch along the way. After walking to both in the rain, both sites were completely closed.
Our room (a superior room #114) was dated. The pillow case had a stain on it. The bathroom light goes off after 2 minutes automatically- not ideal when you are showering or using the bathroom. The walls were thin an you could hear everything happening downstairs in the lobby and restaurant.
Our balcony had a crazy metal covering over the window. We couldn't get it back down once we managed to pull it up so the light from the street kept us up all night. Skip it.

Great Stay
Stayed here for one night during our recent tour of Sicily. Great hotel, staff very friendly and helpful. Room was nice with a balcony overlooking the small Piazza at the front of the hotel. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom with toiletries and a good shower. Parking at a small car park at the hotel, which was very convenient. Easy walk to town. We ate in the hotel restaurant as we could not find anywhere open locally for dinner, which was nice, although not a great deal of choice. Good breakfast with a wide choice. Would recommend.

Excellent hotel
The hotel is situated at the edge of a small square in Acireale, within easy walking distance of bars and restaurants. The staff were very professional and helpful. The reception desk was always manned and the receptionists were happy to help with suggestions for local restaurants. Our room was comfortable and impeccably clean. The hotel was quiet, with a calm, well-maintained air about it. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Would have no problem staying here again!
Excellent central location near main shopping street with lots of nearby restaurants/cafes/markets. Friendly and helpful staff who speak English, free WIFI available for hotel guests but signal was very intermittent! Nice variety at breakfast. Hotel room was clean and comfortable with TV, mini fridge and large bathroom. Shower cubicle was extremely small but this was really much of an issue.
Main downside was that the window in our room was boarded up from the outside so although it could be opened to allow fresh air in, we had no daylight in our room which was a shame considering how great the weather wa!!!!
Overall was very pleased with the choice of hotel and wouldn't mind staying there again at all - although I would make sure to ask for a room with a window I can see out of!!
