Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Absolutely ideal position for all the city centre historical and religious sights, easy walking distance to Borsalino bus station for airport bus, or buses to Etna region. Suffers a little from scruffiness of the city in general. Deluxe room was spacious and comfortable with good wifi, and even BBC News on tv ch 411. Bathroom a little dated, but perfectly adequate. Breakfast pretty good, though no Parma ham, olives or Ricotta/Mozzarella. Cakes and pastries fresh, with coffee available from bar if you didn't want it from a machine. All in all a perfectly satisfactory stay for a couple of days

We had a room level with steps leading to two churches and next to two bars and nightclubs. Noisy! Also, our neighbor in the room next door had a cough, which we could hear loud and clear throughout the night. The staff is excellent; the breakfast is mediocre at best. We recommend the hotel due to the outstanding location.
