Hotel Romano House

The staff are great including the ladies on reception as well as Giacomo and Antonio.The breakfast is superb with everything you could ask for.The location is excellent but visitors should not be put off by the rather run down area to the right of the entrance.It is not worrying at all either during the day or evening - it is just a bit of a contrast to what you might be used to if you have stayed previously in the north of Italy.Via Etnea is a 5 minute walk away,station 10 minutes and Corso Sicilia just across the way ( with a superb Italian supermarket next to Lidl). Same goes for Metro stop - Stesorico.Incidentally Catania is great - lots of good places to eat,beautiful public gardens,nice shopping,friendly people and slower pace of life than eg Rome.That is before you factor in the proximity of Syracuse - a gem - and Taormina - commercialised yes but also fun. ps Aircon/heating in hotel excellent

The staff where very welcoming and helped with recommendations of what to see. Very helpful with advice about onward travel. Prepared a lovely light lunch at the bar / restaurant area on my day of departure when I was short of time awaiting a taxi. Great breakfast with a wide range of everything and I was made pancakes on request. Very friendly and relaxed.

Wow, incredible - Giacomo was wonderfully helpful and welcoming at reception, giving us lots of great and tailored tips for our trip around Sicily. His smooth Sicilian charm buttered us up like freshly baked baps! An unforgettable terrace experience thanks to the unparalleled service from Antonio - offering the worlds best aperol spritzes accompanied by a smorgasbord of delectable treats. I still have dreams about that mozzarella!!

Great location and lovely personell in the reception. Breakfast was super good and lots of options to choose from. Room was clean

The location is minutes walk from the historic area of Catania and Stesicoro station on the metro. At the same time it is less than 15 mins walk from the main railway station. My room was very quiet and it was cleaned every day. Breakfast was extensive with cereal, fresh fruit, various breads, meat and pastries. I never left hungry ! The staff were friendly and helpful when I wanted information about the town.
