Overall Ratings & Reviews President Park Hotel

The hotel was great overall. The customer service was good. Our only complaint is that our room smelled like strong cigarettes. It was as if someone was smoking while cleaning. Towels, tissue paper, and pillow cases all as if we were breathing in ashtray. Aside from that, the view was great and the pool nice (minus an adult man that kept spitting in the pool!) The staff was fabulous. The breakfast was amazing and dinner very good. It was nice to get up and away from the tiny Italian streets.

The hotel was great, the only disappointment was that the cigarette smoke from the next apartment was traveling into our bathroom. We spoke to the receptionist, they said they would fix it, but it wasn’t.

none

A little bit far from everything.

Front desk took 20 minutes to check us in, weird. Second front desk person came out only to get back on their computer. Place is nice and comfortable. Pool was not open in May, and it was very swimable weather. Breakfast is in a basement, no windows and kind of eh. Great town though, comfortable beds and easy to find. Inexpensive and worth staying there though.

Perfect

Clean and spatious room. Friendly staff. Good breakfast.

Not a bad hotel, the dining staff were great and very nice. The issues were 1) the bartender was always rude and treated us poorly. Asked for a corkscrew and he yelled at my wife that it was not allowed. We were offered a free drink on the hotel, were given a slip for the bar, and when we presented it to him he questioned it as if we were trying to rip him off and he called the front desk to confirm it was legit. He was a dick. 2) Too many rules. No outside food even though there were minimal options within walking distance. No snacks, wine, or anything. We just wanted to enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony but they got pissed off. 3) Lousy breakfast. Eggs were as dry as sawdust, all the bread was stale, and the options were limited. 4) Cleaning staff kept removing toiletries and not restocking. Always clean though. Would not return and would go elsewhere.

Renovated not perfect but good enough, super breakfast.

The hotel is a bit far from the airport and downtown Catania. However, with rental car, I think this hotel is a better choice for the values: it is a 4-star hotel with free buffet breakfast, self parking, and many other amenities. The staff is very friendly and helpful. For that reason, I booked twice President Park Hotel, 3-day and 2-day stays separately. I would recommend this hotel to travelers having access to cars.

Decided to splash out and spend a night in a better hotel having already paid for 3 nights in a different hotel which we did not like. The main reason was the pool. Sadly when we arrived the pool was not open, and would not be until May. I really think this should be explained prior to booking as the main photos are the pool. The hotel itself is nice, rooms lovely and comfortable. Breakfast was fab, including eggs and bacon. Nice bar- and from which nice snack sandwiches. Not walkable- up a massive hill, but loads of parking. We spotted a few restaurants behind the hotel, but didn’t try them as had sandwiches at the bar, following a large lunch earlier at the harbour. The castle is well worth a visit. Lovely area.

I was expecting more from 4 stars hotel. Missing some basic amenities like tea kettle in the room. When we asked for the iron and ironing. Board, the board came without foam on it and they put towel instead. All in all the stay was not bad, but we did expect more.

Beatiful view of sea Great for day trips Very beautiful building Well maintained Very friendly and polite staff

Nice hotel, staff professional and friendly, speaks several languages. Many thanks personally to Daniela for her recommendations and kind help.

The only thing you must rent a car , it’s easy and very convenience at the air por. Not hazle . Just the hotel it’s kinda far . Wants you get there it’s amaizing , clean , quiet and very upscale .

Liked cleanliness and staff. Disliked property conditions our mattresses were sagging in.

Far from everything
