Lovely hotel with garden courtyard. Breakfast had a great selection and enjoyed sitting having breakfast in the courtyard. Not too far to walk to the train station , about 15 mins and the bus stop for the Alibus to the airport was about 7 min walk.

Great place in a restored históric building
We loved it, very close to train and bus terminal as well as city centre and Via Etna. Rooms are big, well ligth and have balconies. Breakfast is great and we really appreciated the staff attention and help, particularly from Francesca and Santo.

The Katane Palace Hotel is a very comfortable and affordable hotel. The staff is excellent and very helpful (special thanks to Santo who is great). The rooms are huge and check all the boxes for providing great accommodations. You cannot go wrong by booking at The Katane Palace Hotel!

Charming Boutique Hotel
We had a 3 night stay.. The staff was outstanding, very friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and comfortable. There was dust on the hangers, but easily resolved. Our daily breakfast was delicious and the Nespresso made for a perfect cappuccino every time! It was an easy 10 minute walk to the piazza del Duomo. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

We had a lovely short stay here. Breakfast was quite nice and staff was very nice as well. I would just say that the noice from the corridor was a bit too loud. Other than that it was a perfect place to explore Catania.

Nice hotel, great breakfast!
Nice hotel, the area is a bit challenging on approach from the train station (on foot). The breakfast buffet is fantastic (avoid the filter coffee) and there is a full range of options. The AC did not feel effective overnight, although it was noticeably cooler on entering the room.

Catarina escape
After spending time trying to find a reasonably priced hotel we found this little gem. Some reviews were negative some positive. We were stopping over for a couple of days so just needed what it said on the tin!!
The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the room basic, but very clean and air conditioned. Free soft drinks and water were added each morning, fresh towels and room cleaned even on a 2 night stay.
Nice relaxing area and court yard for breakfast, fresh fruit, yogurt, coffee juice, bacon scrabbled eggs, everything you need to start the day.
Not quite a 4 star but not necessarily a 3 star, no coffee/tea making facilities in bedroom but everything else, ensuite, safe, WiFi, TV.
Area of hotel is a shame, but after walking the street I think all of Catarina is the same. I wouldn't blame the hotel but the local government, it could be so much more but little investment in clean streets and generally keeping it looking nice compared with other Itian regions we travelled through.
On the whole if you need a proper hotel offering good service, somewhere safe, friendly staff you could do a lot worse than Katana
If I need a stop over again in this area I would use again, a good central place to leave and explore.

Very nice Hotel and breakfast was great. However, the shower is setup in a way that it splashed everywhere while showering, other than that it's a good hotel and very clean.
10-15 minutes walk to the busy main street where all restaurant and attractions are.

Good hotel but needs modernising
Average hotel in reasonable area not far from the station and the main attractions. Friendly staff and good breakfast (and great cocktails!) but the hotel needs modernising - especially the bathrooms/showers.
