“Beautiful hotel with classic decor and fresh spaces. We stayed in the suite which was beautifully furnished, 2 bathrooms and most comfortable bed. I booked direct with hotel and would strongly recommend. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. Location was great - a 10 minute easy walk from bus terminal or train station. From our terrace we had a view of Mt Etna and her beautiful sunrise. The staff, specifically, Giuliana and Paula were affable and kind, extremely professional and helpful.”

“Centrum is an excellent, cost-effective choice for staying in Catania. It's close to the centre (within walking distance of the cathedral etc.), has a good breakfast, and the staff are very friendly and helpful (and they speak English perfectly). Despite being in a central location, we were able to drive right to the hotel door to drop our bags off , had no problems with noise overnight.”

“The folks at the Reception are simply the best we’ve ever experienced - warm, helpful, and friendly! The hotel is modern in the inside, specially the en-suite. Water pressure is good. Tiny elevator but needed only on check in and out. Definitely to be recommended.”

“One of our best stays in all of Europe. First and foremost the hospitality is beyond measure; they are very attentive and friendly. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are very modern. Lastly, the location is in the heart of catania and the price is unbeatable. Family run hotel at its finest; this will be our go to place everytime we come back Sicily.”

“A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE AT THIS HOTEL We recently stayed here and the entire visit was wonderful from start to finish.The hotel itself is beautifully maintained, with rooms that are both charming and comfortable. Our room had classic decor with all the modern amenities we could need- a fantastic shower, a comfy bed, and a terrace that offered a lovely view of the city. What really stood out however, was Paola and her staff. We had a last minute incident with our rental car early in the morning just before our flight. The team was amazing in helping us handle everything quickly and calmly, going above and beyond to ensure we made it to the airport on time. Their kindness and efficiency turned a stressful situation into something manageable. I can't recommend this hotel highly enough. They made us feel truly valued. We'll definitely be back.”
