Catania Hotels with balcony

Papali was on the first floor of a very old building, so expect to walk up a few steps with your luggage, because there's no elevator ... But, the Signore who welcomed us was very friendly and even went downstairs - while I already could go into our room - to help my husband find a parking spot on the street nearby. We had a very good night in a simple, but super clean and quite big room, comfy bed as well ... Bathroom was nice and clean with plenty of towels ... The first picture I took in the morning after our night at Papali out from the balcony, the second was taken in the morning when we had our breakfast served kindly in the little dining area ... Btw, Papali is located wonderfully - it's an easy walk to all the main sightseeing spots of Catania! I added some pictures of our evening walk ... Summary: Papali is a great choice locationwise and if you do not want to spend too much, but still want to have a cozy night at a simple but friendly and nice place.

Facilities: No slippers, no toothbrush, and only one cup on the sink. However, four bottles of water are provided daily, which is very thoughtful. The bathroom is a bit small, and towels are changed every two days. Cleanliness: There were mosquitoes in the room near the entrance, but mosquito coils were provided. Environment: Located next to the train and bus stations, it's a 5-minute walk with luggage. It's a typical guesthouse. Catania's city center looks quite run-down, but there are actually many bars and nice restaurants nearby, and surprisingly, they were all very good. We had breakfast at a coffee shop at the intersection for three days, which wasn't expensive. Service: You can even communicate via WeChat, although it's not always prompt, but you can see their sincerity. It's not a 24-hour front desk; check-in and check-out require prior communication. They also inquire about your accommodation experience.

Very convenient location: a quiet street, 15 min walk from the central station. A large local street market (not the fishy one, so no smells) opens every early morning just a few quarters away. My flat was spacious and very clean. No problems with facilities, the kitchen is very appropriately equipped. For longer stays, you will probably miss a washing machine. Also, there are no real wardrobes, so I had to put all on open shelves. This can be inconvenient for longer stays too. The communication with the hosts goes via WhatsApp: fast , friendly and adequate.

Hotel breakfast is superb! You can also see the snow-capped mountains on the top floor, the service is also very good, very recommended, suitable for vacation, a little far from the city, need to take a taxi

Хорошее место, если остановится на несколько дней в Катании, цена соответствует качеству. Могут быть трудности с заселением, заранее обсудите все нюансы с хозяином, поскольку я не смог сразу же попасть в подъезд и получил инструкции по заселению в последний момент уже на месте. Чисто, все работает, но хотелось бы больше услуг. Например, гладильная доска и холодильник в комнате не помешали бы. Минимум посуды и чайник были бы очень кстати. В районе есть неплохие места для перекуса и кофе, а также возможность добраться до общественного пляжа пешком, но немного далековато от центра. Хороший балкон, но, к сожалению, мне достался номер, откуда не было видно Этну, которой я так хотел любоваться с балкона. Уборка каждый день.

Everything is top-notch. The rooms are new and everything is in excellent condition. The staff is very friendly. The only issue that might be annoying for a visitor is that the room is very noisy, meaning you can hear very clearly if your neighbor is watching TV or having a conversation, for example. This can be annoying under certain circumstances. But apart from that, everything is actually perfectly fine. There's a market in front of the hotel every day from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. – it's worth being aware of that. This means that between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m., no cars can drive or park there, and everything is closed off. Fortunately, there's a large parking garage right next to the hotel where you can park your car 24/7. It's secure and the parking garage costs €12 per night (as of July 2025). Conclusion: If you're looking for a solid, minimalist, and simple hotel room in a good location and at a fair price, this is the place for you.👍

Service equivalent to other hotels of this category but hotels to renovate small double room with private bathroom

A beautifully renovated hotel in the old style perfectly located in the central old town of Catania. Star all spoke English beautifully the room was a upstairs downstairs loft very comfortable with a magnificent ensuite. Great views great location fantastic rooftop restaurant with bar both indoor an outdoor seating, which was terrific becauseit was quite chilly for a couple of nights I stayed there

The hotel is in a good position, in front of the sea but not too far from the center, parking at only 10 euros is very comfortable, for the breakfast is both sweet and salty well for varieties and for taste more not Banale the room is very nice with the pool (which is active from 9:30 a.m.). Both the staff of the hotel and the restaurant were available, I am sorry that the restaurant at the fourth floor is not open and I haven't read this communication, but it is certainly a lack of me. The room is still in the right size and has a balcony on the sea so great, the bed seemed quite comfortable. I think the hotel's quality-price ratio can be on, there's some negative note, I confirm that the air conditioner makes a little noise, perhaps for someone it can be ”invasive”, in our room the discharge button was ”unfunctional” You had to turn the key and then press it to pull the water. Thank you all for the great hospitality and the great kindness of ourselves.

I'm delighted to share my experience at this hotel. It's truly an excellent hotel: the room was very comfortable and pleasant, with meticulous attention to detail. I particularly appreciated the attention to detail—small gestures like leaving fresh bottles of water and candy every day really make a difference and demonstrate great care and a positive attitude toward guests. The location is also a major plus. It's true that the entrance through the parking lot can be a little difficult to find at first, but once you arrive, you discover that the hotel is in an excellent location: close to the seafront, easily accessible on foot, in a very pleasant, clean, and quiet neighborhood. I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel and will definitely return in the future. I highly recommend it.
