Catania Catania University Hotels

"The location is great as it’s walking distance to many things. There’s a bus to the airport which you can catch across the street which is a plus. The breakfast was decent and the gentleman in charge was very kind and helpful. The rooms could use some upgrading as it was old looking and the bathroom smelled like sewer water. It’s no frills and comfortable but don’t expect amenities like a gym or room service. It’s a small boutique hotel. It was comfortable for our stay. "

"Bitterly disappointed with this hotel. On reading the website when booking it advertises sea, relaxation and comfort. However on arrival we were informed the pool, sea swimming and the dive centre were closed all of which open on 1st June as listed under the “services subsection” of the website. At the spa centre again the same story with the sauna, jacuzzi, Turkish bath and steam room all closed. On asking why “just because they are”. Presumably again open on 1st June. The hotel itself is a little tired being a conference / venue hotel that sprawls along the cliff edge. It is not in the centre or near Catania (7kms away) with a poor and sporadic bus service into the actual town. Taxis are available and Ubers can bring you back. The staff are generally very friendly and accommodating. Really there is very little to do outside of the “open / high season” here and we would not recommend this hotel for visiting Catania as the website is misleading in what you actually get. We met other groups and they felt the same with everything being closed. "

"I had a wonderful experience at the hotel! The staff was friendly and attentive, making check-in a breeze. My room was clean and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. The breakfast was delicious, offering a wide variety of options to start the day right. Additionally, the convenient car park facilities made it easy to explore the area. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing stay."

"Great"

"Friendly and relaxing atmosphere and staff were helpful and offered advice on where to eat/ visit. Honesty bar was great and breakfasts were excellent with loads of choice - would recommend."

"The bedding needs to be majorly upgraded. Need new linens better pillows a stylish comfortable coverlet and better mattress or mattered pad. It was a very uncomfortable sleep for a quite high priced hotel. Also the shower is terrible with mould and rust and it leaks. Breakfast and location are lovely"

"Very nicely renovated space inside a larger older building. More of a B&B than a full service hotel but priced accordingly. Be sure to clarify your arrival time."

"Beautiful spacious suite with lovely hot shower and good towels! Good breakfast served in the lovely courtyard by Matteo who was very kind and attentive - fresh croissant, fruit, muesli, yogurt, toast and great coffee! In a great location just 10 min walk to Via Etnea and the centre. As a solo traveller I felt very safe walking around and loved my brief stay in Catania. Great communication on booking with travel info from Antonio. Also really appreciated the little card with door codes, wifi, contact number which came in very handy when my phone battery died! Thank you Casa Bernero - I would definitely recommend and hope to stay again! 5 *"
