“Très bel hotel en centre ville”
Très bel hotel dans le centre de Catane. Grandes chambres confortables, personnel très disponible. Style classique mais services modernes (TV LCD, internet...) Buffet copieux pour le petit déjeuner, en bref un vrai 5 étoiles. Pour ceux qui souhaitent disposer d'un bel hotel mais qui passent le reste de la journée à bouger car pas de piscine.
“If we come again we would definitely stay here! Nicest of our 4 hotels!!!”
We loved staying at the Excelsior Grand Hotel! It was our nicest hotel at a very good rate! The Staff was kind and helpful. The room was very nice! The breakfast was delicious and the room where we ate was elegant. Parking was difficult. They have a small alleyway on the side of the hotel for free parking. It only holds 5 or 6 cars. We did park there a couple of times. We were in the center of town and walked to the different points of interest. We would stay there again!!
“Traditional charm and comfort”
Appearances can be deceptive and this good quality hotel, with its traditional style and friendly, helpful staff, is much smarter inside than its unprepossessing outside suggests. Perfect for my business trip, with a range of high quality shops and wonderful restaurants waiting to be discovered in every street. Only a 5 minute walk to the university and 15 minutes to the cathedral and the bustling tourist area. I thoroughly recommend a trip to the lido at the weekend. The hotel staff arranged a taxi to and from a lido with golden sands only 10 minutes away, complete with changing room, security locker, sunlounger and umbrella for only 17 euros each. A trip up Mount Etna - or Dame Edna as we renamed her - is an extraordinary experience. Breakfast at the hotel was a feast (just as well as business meetings start early and lunch was often not until 14.00). The food in Sicily is delicious, healthy and inexpensive. Viva Italia!
“Superior place to stay”
We stayed in several hotels during our 3-week trip to Rome, Florence and Sicily. Many were very nice, but this one was great. The room was large and sparkling. The hotel staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating.
“Beautiful”
What a beautiful place. Lovely foyer/lobby. Ample breakfast buffet in spacious, inviting dining room. Will definitely stay here again!
“fantastic time”
Hotel was great, central and lots of resturants around
“Great Catania experience”
A highlight to our trip around Sicily. Bright, modern, clean hotel. Our room was large and had a nice view of the city. The staff could not have been more accommodating. As a matter of fact, they prepared a breakfast for us when we had to leave before the regular breakfast hours.
“Peaceful and quiet”
The hotel was in an excellent location(a quiet square), about 7/10 blocks from the Duomo and museums. The room was spacious and well-maintained, and large! The staff were friendly and excellent. Breakfast was a nice buffet of just about everything(eggs,meats,cheeses,fruits/vegetables,yogurt,cereals,etc). The price was great too!
“Great Hotel”
Hotel in good position - but you must like to walk. Room good with great view of Mt Etna. Breafast was only supposed to have been a basic buffet but good choice including scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes etc. If hotel good enough for Dionne Warwick then it was good enough for all!!
