The hotel is lovely. The staff was extremely accomodating. They made me feel welcome. I would recommend the Katane Palace with one caveat; the hotel is a good 15 - 20 walk from the center of the city. This might not be a problem for a short visit but for an extended stay it is a challenge. more

This is a lovely hotel, as you approach the front of the building you are not even sure you are at a hotel, and the front does not prepare you for the beauty and spaciousness inside. The Hotel is situated a little distance from the centre of the town (the Duomo etc..) a 15 minute walk.Tthe area looks a little... more

I reviewed the hotel as a possible hotel to place my colleagues during their performances in Catania. The hotel reception is very efficient, willing to please and there is English spoken. I visited a number of rooms on my visit and all were spacious, clean, beautifully decorated with all amenities functioning. Bathrooms are also spacious, most with bath tubs. The... more

Staff are very friendly and even provided lunch even though no lunch is scheduled. Free internet, room minibar & parking. Exc value and can definitely recommend. Also, when flying into airport be very careful for thieves, but do not let that put you off this hotel. Bon Voyage. more

The condition of the place elides the warmth of the Sicilians, who were fabulous to us. Nowhere was this more... more

However, don't be put off by this, the interior of the hotel is lovely. The staff were lovely and the room & bathroom were really nice. They had private parking and... more

useful stuff, free internet, free parking in the city center (precious!!!, although there is not always place in the garage), free mini bar, at a quarter of hour walk from the city center, although not in a pleasant place, good (not excellent buffet breakfast, clean rooms, classic style. more

Some previous travellers have commented that the hotel is in a seedy area, but in fact it is very close to most of the main shopping areas and is certainly no worse than most part of this working town. In fact it is within easy walking distance of the vibrant local market and only a 20 minute stroll into the... more

We stayed at the Katane Palace a couple of weeks ago. The outside of this hotel does not do justice to the beautiful decor you find inside.We made our way to reception and were greeted with a lovely smile and immediately we felt at home. We were shown to our room and I can safely say that we were not... more
