“While the location is central and convenient for exploring Catania's historical sites, the 18th-century building shows its age; the dedicated cleaning staff face a real challenge. I appreciate the historical ambiance with frescoed ceilings and the authentic Italian feel, but I noted the rooms and breakfast could use a refresh to better match the overall experience.”
