    Dear Sir, we are so delighted to read that you consider Palace Catania | UNA Esperienze a cool hotel in the core of the historical and commercial city centre, thanks to its ambiances, roominess, and our team care and friendly attitude. We appreciate guest feedback and thank you for sharing your first impressions of our hotel, as well as your added suggestions and preferences.

    Beautiful Etna Views
    We stayed here for 3 nights and stayed in two different rooms. We had booked a room with a view but when we checked in early at 10am, they told us that we had booked a standard room that does not have a view. I am not sure why I was misled by the booking site. In any case,…
