“The location stands out, placing guests in the heart of Catania near key attractions and transport. It strikes me as a place with potential for more, especially considering its underutilized rooftop terrace with city views. Though some rooms may lack ideal views or updated bathrooms, the hotel's historical ties and central location make it a practical base for exploring the city.”
