Catania Hotels with Balcony

Very convenient location: a quiet street, 15 min walk from the central station. A large local street market (not the fishy one, so no smells) opens every early morning just a few quarters away. My flat was spacious and very clean. No problems with facilities, the kitchen is very appropriately equipped. For longer stays, you will probably miss a washing machine. Also, there are no real wardrobes, so I had to put all on open shelves. This can be inconvenient for longer stays too. The communication with the hosts goes via WhatsApp: fast , friendly and adequate.

Papali was on the first floor of a very old building, so expect to walk up a few steps with your luggage, because there's no elevator ... But, the Signore who welcomed us was very friendly and even went downstairs - while I already could go into our room - to help my husband find a parking spot on the street nearby. We had a very good night in a simple, but super clean and quite big room, comfy bed as well ... Bathroom was nice and clean with plenty of towels ... The first picture I took in the morning after our night at Papali out from the balcony, the second was taken in the morning when we had our breakfast served kindly in the little dining area ... Btw, Papali is located wonderfully - it's an easy walk to all the main sightseeing spots of Catania! I added some pictures of our evening walk ... Summary: Papali is a great choice locationwise and if you do not want to spend too much, but still want to have a cozy night at a simple but friendly and nice place.

Clean and neat, very close to the bus and train stations, and close to all restaurants and bars (there is one that opens 24 hours right downstairs). If you plan to go to Mt. Etna, this serves as a nice base for your trip as you can meet your A.S.T. bus in 6 minutes. The only thing is that they ask you to check-out at 10 am, which is quite early, but it is written in your reservation and you should be prepared. Also, there is no front desk and so don't you plan to leave your bags for the remainder of the day.

This hotel is similar to a foreign building, but it is connected to several buildings. The conditions are actually OK. The problem is that the traffic is not convenient. Living on the mountain, where to go can take a taxi. The good thing about breakfast is that you can order online and do it on the spot, the taste is not bad.

Hotel breakfast is superb! You can also see the snow-capped mountains on the top floor, the service is also very good, very recommended, suitable for vacation, a little far from the city, need to take a taxi

I'm delighted to share my experience at this hotel. It's truly an excellent hotel: the room was very comfortable and pleasant, with meticulous attention to detail. I particularly appreciated the attention to detail—small gestures like leaving fresh bottles of water and candy every day really make a difference and demonstrate great care and a positive attitude toward guests. The location is also a major plus. It's true that the entrance through the parking lot can be a little difficult to find at first, but once you arrive, you discover that the hotel is in an excellent location: close to the seafront, easily accessible on foot, in a very pleasant, clean, and quiet neighborhood. I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel and will definitely return in the future. I highly recommend it.

Everything is top-notch. The rooms are new and everything is in excellent condition. The staff is very friendly. The only issue that might be annoying for a visitor is that the room is very noisy, meaning you can hear very clearly if your neighbor is watching TV or having a conversation, for example. This can be annoying under certain circumstances. But apart from that, everything is actually perfectly fine. There's a market in front of the hotel every day from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. – it's worth being aware of that. This means that between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m., no cars can drive or park there, and everything is closed off. Fortunately, there's a large parking garage right next to the hotel where you can park your car 24/7. It's secure and the parking garage costs €12 per night (as of July 2025). Conclusion: If you're looking for a solid, minimalist, and simple hotel room in a good location and at a fair price, this is the place for you.👍

Service equivalent to other hotels of this category but hotels to renovate small double room with private bathroom

Excellent location, structure a little dated in the furnishings but still pleasant and functional. Equipped with a beautiful outdoor pool that however given the period we did not use.

Hotel very clean. Great service. Unfortunately, the breakfasts leave much to be desired. But the gratification is great coffee.
