Hotel Villa Romeo

The hotel itself looked nothing like the photos. The décor was very dated, mismatched and quite tacky, giving the whole place a neglected feel. While we don’t mind staying somewhere older, this property felt particularly run down. There was peeling paint on the walls, visible mould, grimy surfaces and, overall, it didn’t feel especially clean or well maintained. Even when walking down the stairs, several of the stair rods had come completely loose, meaning the whole staircase was a trip hazard. Even the shower was difficult to use because the shower head wouldn’t stay in its holder, so we had to hold it throughout our showers. Alongside this I was actually very hesitant to even get in there as it was full of limescale and grime. This hotel is in desperate need of refurbishment and some real care and attention. We were very relieved that we were only staying for one night and would definitely not be coming back. The one saving grace is the fact it is so close to the station (less than 5 minute walk) but other than that, it’s pretty rough. It’s even in a very sketchy area of Catania which can’t be helped but it definitely added to the whole experience. This is also not a reflection of the staff as they were very helpful and lovely, and they can’t be blamed for the fact the hotel is in complete ruin.

Very old property, shower flooded bathroom each use.

Outdated needed to be maintained Abe resercised

Outdated Abe in need of a complete revamp

Staff were friendly and accommodating. Toilet in the room had a leak and smelled like sewer.

I arrived late and check in was nice and smooth. Air conditioning did not work in my room and there was something left in the fridge which smelled absolutely disgusting. My room phone rang at 06.30am (I had not requested this) Breakfast was good.

Room was cleaned and well stocked with furniture and bathroom amenities. Outdoor court yard was always dirty and full of plant/leaf clusters on the ground. Tables were untidy with other guests belongings such as glassware, ash trays used etc. Building is on the older, vintage side but that gives it character and the "feels" of Italy. Great breakfast options, fresh and stocked.

Villa Romeo is an excellent hotel nestled right next to the central station. The property has the old world charm with modern amenities. Loved the patio setting

I booked the hotel as it was near the train station. We arrived late and planned to travel to Taormina the following day. The hotel has very quirky decor but the room was horrid. Wallpaper peeling off walls, bed spread stained and faded, pillows were stained yellow. The shower was hot and powerful but the bathroom was awful. Mouldy tiles/ceiling with lots limescale. The courtyard we had breakfast in was lovely but the food was disappointing. Tinned frankfurters, warm scrambled eggs and not much bread. There were cakes and pastries which were nice and if you ask for coffee, they will make you a cappuccino. Luckily we were only there a night. I wouldn't have wanted to stay for longer!

My room felt like a palace, and the inner courtyard was beautiful and peaceful. It was convenient to the train and bus stop, but a bit far from the center of Catania, and slightly sketchy neighborhood in between. Breakfast was good - many healthy and fresh options.

The staff were lovely and the room was clean.

Very impressive little hotel near train station. Beautiful small courtyard lovely breakfast

Great location, close to airport shuttle

The room was very tired and smelt musty along with mold on some of the walls, we shortened our stay as the room smell was not pleasant, the area it is situated in is very run down - Pictures do not tell the story of this hotel

Very convenient location. The staff are very nice, freindly and helpful.

Very close to the station and bus stops. Room was clean and staff were very helpful

Wifi slow

The staff was nice, location is convenient, but there were mosquitos in the room, we killed 4 of them, but not able to kill the last one and was not able to sleep well.

В реальности всё гораздо скромнее, чем на фотографиях.

Staff were great. Hotel has a back door leading to a beautiful garden. Room can use some update. Possibly a new bed. Very basic amenities. Small bottle of shampoo and conditioner and small bar of soap. No facial tissue, cups, coffee, etc. Short walk to the Central Station.
