Magione del Re

Alessandro, the host, is very kind and helpful, and so are the housekeepers. The hotel is very clean, safe, secure, and charming. I appreciated Alessandro having made reliable reservations for me to be picked up at the airport and also at the hotel for my return trip; the return pickup was at 5 a.m. and on time. I stayed in room #1 (the one in the top right side of the photo) with a beautiful ceiling and street-facing French doors/windows. This made the room a bit noisy on the holiday weekend but the noise did not interfere with my sleep or my enjoyment of staying at this hotel. The hotel is within easy walking distance of a Farmacia, and numerous places to get coffee and pastries for breakfast. Alessandro recommended a bit of a longer walk (but not a difficult one) to Savia, where the arancini and pastries are terrific. The one caveat for folks considering staying at this wonderful hotel is that there is no elevator and there are numerous stairs to climb to the second floor where the hotel rooms are. But the staff are helpful if you arrive in the morning when they are there. I stayed at this hotel two nights at the beginning of my trip in Sicily and the last two nights of my trip. Molto bene! Grazie, Alessandro!

The location is central to shops, restaurant and 5 minutes walk to Catania centre. Hotel staff are very warm, supportive and friendly. The room was amazing and very clean. All utilities were great too. Excellent service and good for its value. Definitely we will return back since our stay was great. We already are recommending this place to our friends and relatives.

Great room, very small hotel, maybe 6 or 8 rooms, not really a waiting room or lobby to speak of, but it's ok, the room itself was very large, clean, modern, nicely done, the balcony was nice to look out and see the street. The manager was very nice and worked with us on an early check-in time, which was just great. Breakfast was the usual European style, but you place your order the day before, which actually is kind of nice! Overall, we enjoyed our time, location was perfect!!!

Excellent stay. Beautiful room with double height ceiling. Very clean. Really comfy bed. Shower had excellent pressure. Breakfast can be tailored to any dietary need. Lovely people hi made you feel very relaxed and welcomed. Do stay here

Very well located, 5 minutes walk (downhill!) to the Piazza Stesicoro and Via Etnea. Room was of a very good size and breakfast perfect for me. Hosts very helpful in carrying luggage upstairs and offering advice on locality. Definitely very good value for money, would stay again.

The hotel staff assisted us in arranging transport from Comiso when our flight was changed from Catania with less than 24 hrs notice. We are a family of four with two teenage boys. We stayed for two nights. The staff were helpful on arrival and the room Ah, the women was a good size with great bathroom and balcony. The the ceiling is decorated in a traditional Sicilian style and added to the atmosphere of our trip. Despite being in a central location the shutters and windows made for a quiet night. The breakfast was good with attentive staff. I would recommend this hotel as being just out of the central bustle of Catania but close enough to allow easy walking to all the major sights. Check out the crypts of the church at the bottom of the street. 2€ each for a personal tour.
