Province of Catania Hotels with Airport pickup service

We got in early to Catania and they let us check in right away. The Hotel is great location near restaurants and airport. THey had free shuttle service to the airport, a 1st for all of the other hotel;s we stayed at. SHuttles were prompt and courtious. We did not eat there. Wake up call came on time. Only negative, the room would not cool down. It was set for hours and only went down 1 degree. THe bar fridge did not cool either. There were no ice machines that was the norm for Italy and Sicily.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Grand Hotel Biai Verde in Catania Italy. Its an old school elegant type of hotel on the coast - they were in the process of refinishing the outside access to the sea. Although the pool does not officially open until June (I snuck in) and its a great pool. The Breakfast was included and was really significant. Parking was free as was the NET - Room was very clean and they have old school maids that do a nice job - the Hotel has not yet been impacted by the green wave so you get new towels every day. Staff was kind and helpful. If returning to the aera I would stay there again. Special thanks to Matt from the Front Desk - he was very help before we arrived and attentive while we were there and he helped make our stay a great one - a positive attitude goes a long way!

Hotel in a spectacular location with views of the Faraglioni. Clean and well maintained room, small but functional bathroom. Breakfast is excellent with a wide selection of sweet and jumping in the hotel bar. Excellent quality price ratio being out of season.

The hotel is perfect for enjoying the sea and is very comfortable in the centre. The structure is new and very clean. The price quality was excellent. The rooms are well furnished and with the refrigerator. Also very recommended for a varied and abundant breakfast. The staff, all young, is innocent. The windows of the first floor are very small. I liked it and I hope I'll be back soon.

We loved our stay in this beautiful hotel away from the bustle of the tourist area. The hotel is off the beaten track but with a car everything is easily accessible. The hotel grounds are lovely, the room we had was spacious, very clean and we felt very comfortable. We even got an upgrade. Breakfast was fantastic and the staff were friendly and very accommodating. A really lovely place to spend a few days. Etna and other places are easy to reach by car. Highly recommended.

The location was great! It takes you only 15-20 minutes to arrive at the craters of Etna (Crateri Silvestri). The staff was VERY friendly and helpful. They gave us great tips for our trips. The wellness area was wonderful too and we spent a lot of time there. The rooms are good and facilities too. We definitively recommend you to stay there!

Basic facts about hotel are true, but description omits to say the pool is small, with only 30 beds fitting comfortably around it. The pool music is aimed at teenagers and completely out of character with the hotel and age profile of its guests. Hotel reception staff unhelpful and rude. Area around hotel is dirty and streets full of litter and unsafe to walk due to traffic. Shuttle to local town is infrequent. 25 minute walk down a very steep road. There is no beach anywhere near, you have to sunbathe on rocks. Food in restaurant very limited if on half board with a choice of only pasta or fish most nights. When asked to upgrade to a room with a balcony it was going to cost £209 more for the week but had to go bed & breakfast not half board, so more money for less meals. Unable to hire a car from the hotel, you have to go to Catania airport to pick up.

We last stayed here 4 years ago for one night before our flight home the following day. We decided to do the same again this year and our stay was once again very good. Our room was overlooking the courtyard which was absolutely fine. It was spacious with a really nice bathroom and comfortable bed. The key card entry system to get into the room once again foxed us for a few minutes. We visited the roof top bar for a drink after eating out and were surprised at how quiet it was, I guess the hospitality industry is still suffering to some extent. This really is a fabulous spot and we very much enjoyed our drink. We payed extra for our breakfast to enjoy the view of Etna, which undoubtable is lovely. The last time we stayed we were offered table service and a great selection of hot food this time it was a self service buffet, there was a good choice and some hot options, however a little pricy. You clearly are paying extra for the view. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. When we are next in Sicily we will definitely return.

- Breakfast for Italy was oookay - Far away from the center, a city bus comes once in hour, which in terms of Sicily - never. But okay. - The hotel is on the sea side, but it does not have a beach [one should use a public beach 10-15 minutes away] - In my room, in the bathroom every morning I had water coming from the ceiling from the higher floor. Told at reception. They did not solve it for a few days before i left. - air conditioning was super noisy I had to stop it before going sleep - the swimming pool was open from 9-19hh, thus leaving for a work duty around 8 and coming back around 7,the pool was not useful for me - The hotel is used to rent its own restaurant next to the pool to different events, so, especially on weekends there is loud music until super late. The reception was not able to stop the music then I asked around 1 am.... this is strange - they let some external people to party loudly till late at the expense of their guests
