The breakfast and breakfast staff were great!
We had a nice balcony with a view of the Ionic Sea and the pool. We enjoyed the pool! It was clean and refreshing on a hot day!
Overall a good hotel, location and amenities. It’s not the most modern, but the pool/bar area are 1st class and the staff very friendly and attentive. Good location for Catania, 10min Uber into downtown/ Metro station. Great views of Etna, ask for pool/sea view room (even no’s). Quality breakfast. The rooms are large, but dated and the hotel fascia could do with a fresh lick of paint. Plenty of local bars/restaurants near by and amazing food/wine for bargain prices. Demonstrates how much we get ripped off in the UK. Eg Table x 6 with starters/mains/deserts/beer & wine, nothing more than €200, and they don’t expect tips. Would stay again.
Nice view and good front desk crew help they are kind and try to help me with their best!

Enjoyable Stay Overall
We had read the mixed reviews about the hotel and after staying there are more positives than negatives - good location , lovely pool area and sea terrace, helpful staff, comfortable bed , excellent housekeeping however the hotel does need some updating and parts need cleaning such as the lift windows and balcony furniture , more choices for eggs at breakfast would be nice . Overall we really enjoyed our stay
Room was lovely. We had a balcony view to the sea. The hotel is a mix of old and new. The restaurant was perfect for dinner. The front desk clerk was very accommodating and arranged a taxi for us to the airport. There are places to eat nearby and a big grocery store. Very nice place.
We have 3 nights and 2 rooms for family. The hotel is outside the city but has an access to pool and beach. The breakfast was good , the receptionist were helpfull.
Clean and tidy room. Super service. Nice breakfast. The pool and the "sea deck" was excellent.

The staff are friendly, breakfast is great and the overall stay was pleasant.
The catch is, you have to pay 20 eu per person to access the ocean swimming area. This felt really scammy. If I had known before booking, our family of 4 might have styayed somewhere else since this raised our daily hotel cost 80 eu per day more than it should have been.

Has seen better days!
No electric jug in our room for making coffee and tea was a nasty surprise, the loss of amenity spoiled this otherwise nice if dated hotel. Great view of the water, but a bit out of town.

Booked Hotel Nettuno for a four day break, knowing we'd have a busy weekend prior our stay, we chose Nettuno because there was a pool. After checking in on the 7th Oct, we were told the pool closed for the season on Oct the 1st.
The rooms were clean albeit a bit dated, the shower cubicle was very small.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
The closest sandy beach was approx 1hour 30min walk
There is a small harbour where you can swim approx 15 min walk towards Catania, water is very clean and locals seemed friendly.

Disliked: Amenities
Hospitality does not exist / ( the girls and boys during breakfast yes ) well done
Swimming pool was closed although it’s 30 c Celsius
No chairs no towels bar open at 8 euro for a small becks
( Niki beach st barths ? I don t think so )
Across the road in the Lodi it’s 4 euro
Get your act together and don fool people
The Hotel-staff was excellent and very helpful. We will give a special appreciation to Giuseppe for extra good service. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It has a few good places to eat and drink near by, a shopping mall close by. It’s close to the sea and the lava-‘beaches’ and walking distance to the town center (30-50 minutes), but busses are useful for faster transport (we assume:-)) Ok Italian breakfast. On the downside it’s close to a busy road, but even with our room facing towards it, we didn’t have any big issues. The A/C makes a bit of noise, but it was possible to turn off.
We didn’t have a car but the hotel has parking available inside a fenced area.
The room was spacious and with bathtub, fridge and a small safe.
We enjoyed our stay.
