“What stands out is that each room has its own bathroom and air conditioning, very convenient, plus you get a flat-screen TV; there's also a coffee shop on site, which I appreciate. The fact that they offer both an Italian breakfast and a buffet is a nice touch, and the location is handy for getting to the airport. It's a solid choice if you want to explore Catania.”
