We enjoyed our stay at 454 Etnea so much! The location was ideal for getting around Catania - walking distance from main attractions and shops. The room had everything we needed and breakfast was delightful with fresh coffee made to order. However the highlight of this location was the staff. Ander was so friendly and helpful. I have never raved about the cleaning of my room. The cleaning staff not only kept the room clean, but reorganized and anticipated our needs in ways we did not expect at all. Kudos to this lovely place, would definitely recommend for anyone traveling to Catania!

The only thing we would suggest adding to the room is tissues.

Many things (local team (thanks Anderson!), high quality silent room, breakfast, bed, good location, …). (The connection to the airport is easy with the Alibus, stopping 100 meters from the Via Etnea 454).

Just to take as tip to improve the splendid quality: - On the booking.com site the room is having à balcony (which was not the case): did we misinterprete?

Great location, clean rooms. Parking was around 7minutes walk but we enjoyed the stroll. Receptionist cum service personnel was friendly and helpful.

We thought they had free parking but the safe parking was a bit far.

The hotel is situated perfectly near the center of Catania within walking distance. The room was modern and quiet. We enjoyed the delicious breakfast (coffee, bread, fruits, cakes, joghurt ... ), gluten-free breakfast was also available. The owner of the hotel is very helpful and provided a lot of informations during our stay in Catania.

Very comfy bed, shower worked and the staff amazing. I have never seen a room cleaned so well and every day. The maid did a great job! Breakfast was fine too. Sound proof wise it did its best, nothing can protect you from the loud motorbikes that echo around the streets at night, so if you have trouble with noise bring earplugs wherever you stay!

It was a little warm on some days / nights in the room and the air con wasn’t working or not switched on in general. Probably because it wasn’t hot by local standards but coming from 5-10c to 25c you aren’t acclimatised and feel the heat more. It wasn’t uncomfortable apart from one night so I didn’t bring it up to Anderson. I am 109% sure they’d sort that out for you if ask.

The staff was very friendly and supportive during our whole stay. We had a nice spacious room (17 m2 with extra couch) on the 2nd floor with a good bed and a modern and very comfortable bathroom. The room was located to the back and it was absolutely quiet. Breakfast was great with a good variety including fresh fruits and very delicious capuchino. There was a modern elevator. The house is on a big main street leading you right into the center. It takes a little while to get to the cathedral but the restaurant areas already start at 5 minutes walking distance.

The balcony was small and not really intended for sitting outside (no furniture) which was different from what we were expecting. Everything else was just great!!!!

Location and modern look of the rooms

Parking situation

Clean modern hotel room, nice bathroom, window with balcony overlooking the street and a view of Etna. Via Etnea on the Sunday night was bustling with people out for a promenade. Breakfast was good and our host (Francisco?) was helpful and friendly.

We had to wait a bit for a response to get into the building when we first arrived at 4:50pm, despite having contacted previously to say we would be there around 5pm. It was only a few minutes but was a bit unsettling.

We came with a group of friends for 3 nights. The accommodation is spotlessly clean, the double bed is comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. Everything is nearby, cafes, restaurants!Our host booked us a table in a cozy Sicilian restaurant and gave us the address of the car park house! This saved us a lot of time, and we thank you very much for your kindness!I highly recommend it to everyone!!

We had to leave before the breakfast service began but they opened it early, just for us, so we could have a lovely breakfast before we left. The desk person was very helpful explaining where many restaurants were located and arranged a large taxi for us when we left. He was very accommodating.

Everything was great. No complaints.
