we had a one night stay in the Manganelli Palace. The staff were exceptionally helpfull and friendly, which made up for the rather run down internal condition of the room and some of the corridors. My bathroom in particular was in need of a refurbishment as there was black mould around the bath. It was clean but run down. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast good. I would stay here again because it is so centrally located and the staff were so lovely.

Good location, however accessibility is very poor. Hotel needs an urgent upgrade. Room and beds are not comfortable

Both the desk clerk and the breakfast barista were terrific

Stanza molto spaziosa e colazione abbastanza fornita su terrazza da cui si vede Etna. Staff molto gentile Vicini tanti posti per mangiare

We stayed here for the 1 night and arrived very late, check in was easy. For the price, it was what you expected. Decent size room but bathroom needs some work. Location was a bit sketchy however walkong distance to all main attractions.

Title: Serious Safety Hazard — Avoid Until Fixed! I stayed here and discovered there were no clear fire exits, blocked emergency stairs full of building materials, and no evacuation plan in the room. When the power went out, we were trapped with no clear escape route and no help from staff. This hotel is a fire hazard and unsafe. I reported it to the local fire brigade and the city. Until they fix these basic safety violations, I strongly recommend you stay elsewhere for your own safety. Titolo: Grave rischio sicurezza — Da evitare finché non sarà messo a norma! Ho soggiornato in questo hotel e ho scoperto che non ci sono uscite di emergenza ben segnalate, le scale antincendio erano ostruite da materiali da costruzione e nella camera non c’era alcun piano di evacuazione. Quando è mancata la corrente, siamo rimasti bloccati senza una via di fuga chiara e senza assistenza adeguata dal personale. Questo hotel è un pericolo per la sicurezza. Ho segnalato tutto ai Vigili del Fuoco e al Comune. Finché non saranno risolte queste gravi violazioni di sicurezza, consiglio vivamente di scegliere un’altra struttura per la propria sicurezza.

Excelente stay!

Superb location for sightseeing a few minutes walk from Via Etna, actually street was a bit scruffy, though that’s a thing in Catania. The breakfast was really good with a nice selection and lovely lady doing the coffee and replenishing supplies. The roof terrace was gorgeous at sunset. But our room was run down and the bathroom was mouldy and the bsthroom floor was constantly drenched, even when we arrived and hadn’t touched a tap.

Very old building we thought was abandoned upon driving up. Near a square w many homeless

The staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful, rooms were perfect, breakfast good. Fantastic hotel in a great location in the heart of Catania. Will definately return

Very close to the historic center of Catania but still away from the noise.

Loved this small hotel. In a great location. 1-2 blocks to a British pub & Restaurants

Thought the location was excellent, within easy walking distance to the attractions. The only downside was that the parking was a bit of a challenge. There’s not much available close to the hotel and you have to be lucky to find a decent spot.

This hotel is exquisite. We have only positive thoughts about our stay.

This was a wonderful stay and we can’t say enough about the helpful staff with all of our inquiries. I would like to specifically shout out praise for Sonia, she is amazing and helped with our excursion to Mt Aetna. The property is Bellissima! Grazie, we hop to come back soon!

I can't say enough about this place. It is so well located that we were able to walk to everything. It is located in what was once a palace and the decor reflects that. The staff at the front desk, especially Gessica, were amazing. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The breakfast had quite a good assortment of foods. In particular the cakes and tortes, handmade by Stefania, were truly delicious and special. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Catania.

Hotel was nice inside. We got scared when arriving through the neighbourhood, but the hotel is acutally really well placed a few steps away from the really nice city center.

Very tired property .

Dirty hotel in a horrible neighbourhood. There was no electricity so the lift didn’t work! Reception is on the 4th floor. No way was I going to risk my life lugging heavy suitcases up 4 floors in the dark. We cancelled booking and will get a refund via my card issuer. Do not stay here ever,

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The elevator was a real bonus!
