The room and bathroom were much bigger than average. The air conditioning was great (especially as there was a major heat wave). Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Internet access was available via a laptop for no charge, and a small charge for printing. Breakfast was good - a very wide range to suit all tastes. The hotel... more

This is a great hotel! Beautiful and clean everywhere, good breakfast with a superb cappuccino, friendly and helpful staff, ideal location. Rooms seem to be recently refurbished with nice decor and modern air conditioning, TV with CNN included. There are also a few negative aspects: Clumsy room key, and you need a key for the in-room safety box (10 EUR... more

Chose this hotel based on trip adv. reviews. 95e about average for cost of hotels in Sicily. We stayed 3 nights arriving from airport by taxi (25e), but take city bus right in front of international baggae claim(few euros). Totally satisfied. We had front facing room with view of duomo, french windows to look out at the street scene below.... more

My wife and I stayed here for three nights. it has a great location, just one block from the Duomo and the Via Etnea. Close also to several restaurants and to the fish market, which is well worth exploring in the morning. The staff was friendly, spoke English, and the room was clean, large, with a king size bed ("matrimoniale")... more

We loved this hotel! The location couldn’t be better – it was right smack in the center of town, literally a stone’s throw from the Duomo and easy walking distance to all major attractions. The staff was helpful and friendly, ready to pick up the phone and book tours or make reservations for us. The room was small but clean... more

We travelled out to Catania in Sicily for a short break before heading to Rome; this 3 star hotel made the experience even better because the staff were extremely helpful and made the language barrier non exsistent. They recommended a tour to Mount Etna and booked it for us; the tour was fantastic. Also they told us of local places... more

Before leaving Hong Kong for Italy, we had bit difficulties in collecting the info on Catania. We chose Savona only relying on all the previous comments posted on Tripadvisor.com which proved really right! Check-in was efficient with politeness. We were given room 203, with Duomo view. We liked the spacious room with plenty of storage space. Although the street noise... more

I agree with most that have been said already. Our triple room on the 3rd floor was very spacious with elegant decor. Breakfast was very decent. A few things to add: - Unlike many other 2* or 3* hotels in Italy, Savona takes up the whole building. It's not just one or two floor in a mixed-use building. Again, there's... more

Only one night at the Savona but we generally liked what we experienced. This was, however, the only time that in registering at the front desk instead being given a nice room at the front (facing the street) for some reason we were given a dark room facing a utility courtyard. But when we requested a change the front desk... more
