Palace Catania | UNA Esperienze

Fantastic stay in a beautiful hotel located in the historic center of Catania. Room was loaded with amenities. Service was impeccable. The staff was so helpful. We were there for 8 nights. The best meal we had was at the hotel restaurant. Highly recommended!

Well located hotel within walking distance of shops, restaurants, tourist attractions, and a great view of mount Etna from floors 6 and 7. Excellent breakfast. The rooms are on the small side but comfortable and adequate.

Via Etnea was a pedestrian way when we were there. And what a lively street it was. The hotel is right in the midst of the action, but our room was not noisy in the least. The hotel was great, clean and the staff were very helpful. And, despite the street being closed off, the hotel could get us a cab to go to the airport. We ate once at the rooftop bar (wine and snacks) and it was good. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

We booked this hotel at the last minute so we were very limited for choice.|The hotel itself is situated on Via Etnea, which is the main commercial thoroughfare of Catania. As a city hotel, which appears to be primarily for business guests, there is no outside space and limited internal public spaces in terms of lounge/seating areas.||The hotel is clean, the lifts small but efficient, the reception area always manned.||The restaurant on the top floor has a balcony around the whole of the floor, from which Mount Etna can be seen. The hotel was under-occupied during our stay and on the two occasions we visited the restaurant there were only one or two people in it. Perhaps at other times the restaurant would seem more inviting. We had dinner on one occasion at the restaurant. There were few vegetarian dishes and the portions were extremely small for the rather expensive price.||Our room was on the 3rd floor, with no view other than the side of a building. The room was pleasant enough, though the absence of carpets made it feel a little sterile. The bathroom was well appointed but the water pressure was not very good. Towelling gowns and slippers are provided. The room was clean and the cleaning service was excellent. There is a coffee machine but no kettle so we were unable to make tea in the room. The bed was large and comfortable. There were too few hangers in the wardrobe for anyone staying for a week, which we were.||Breakfast was served on the 1st floor in a pleasant and spacious area. There was a good choice of fresh fruits, yoghurts, cereals, boiled and scrambled eggs, cheeses, cold meats, rolls, bread, jams, cakes, etc, etc. The breakfast staff were very friendly and cheerful and breakfast was leisurely and relaxing (though the monotonous jazzy background music was not very inspiring).||My feeling was that this is a well maintained hotel with all expected facilities. I did not love it - because it felt primarily like a business hotel - but there was nothing wrong with it and its location is very convenient.||Catania has some wonderful buildings and it feels very pleasant and safe to walk around the Via Etnea area in the evening. What really made our holiday, however, was the trips we made. We visited Siracusa/Ortagia by train and Taormina by train also. On two occasions the trains were cancelled and there was an hour or more to wait, which was a bit annoying. We also went on a bus trip to the lower reaches of Mount Etna which was 35 euros each. We would recommend all these locations. The city park - Bellini - is very near the hotel and is well worth visiting. It is a good place from which to take photos of Mount Etna - and there is a pastry shop opposite which is very popular. Also we enjoyed strolling around a very nice botanical garden, further up Via Etnea.||On the whole, we had a very enjoyable holiday in Catania and would like to return to Sicily to do more exploring in the future.

What more could you want: great hotel, central location, walk to everything, wonderful breakfast, helpful staff! Seriously, booked her by work so I had low expectations but it was wonderful! Rooms are super modern and exceptionally clean. They even leave you a daily almond cookie that is very tasty! Breakfast buffet is full of many too many choices. The roof top bar is relaxing and enjoyable even in winter! The staff were very friendly and helpful in guiding us to some great restaurants! Stay here!! I can’t wait to return!

Palace Catania Una was a relief to pull up to after driving through the city of Catania and seeing the filth everywhere. The hotel was fresh and clean and smelled good. The room was very small but we were only there for one night before our flight. The location is perfect for walking to many sights. The room and bathroom were comfortable. The rooftop is really the gem of the hotel. Such nice views of the city and Mt Etna. The breakfast was really nice with a good variety. The hotel staff were nice and arranged our ride to the airport. I’d highly recommend this hotel.

As always an excellent stay! We love this hotel, we come every year in November. We will be back for sure. Service is excellent as well as breakfast, absolutely delicious. I would love for breakfast to be on the terrace floor, even in November, especially since we book premium. We come during the first week and it is always still warm enough inside the dining area, and such a breath-taking view! Location is ideal. Looking forward to come back.

Perfect location. Rooms are comfortable, including two comfortable chairs and a desk chair. USB outlets on both sides of the bed, unlike a lot of hotels, the light switches are clearly marked and the rooms are bright. The rooftop restaurant is excellent, though the time I was there service was a bit slow.
