Loved this hotel. Staff was excellent. We rented a car, so the valet was great being able to pull up right in front of the hotel, drop the car off there, and they parked it for us and got it for us each day. Great location, walking distance to many of the Catania sites.

We had a wonderful stay at Palace Catania. The location on Via Etnea couldn’t be better, with everything in the city just a short walk away. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were consistently warm, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good & the staff was excellent. Awesome view of Mt. Etna from the rooftop & our room. A great choice for anyone visiting Catania.
