Kenneth, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

As an old castle, it has passages and rooms between bedrooms. Rooms are large; bathrooms have steps into them. Light fixtures are older, and lighting is somewhat limited in the rooms. The hotel concierge is very accommodating.

More of a moderate-priced rooming house style than a hotel. The entrance is very dark, so are the hallways inside. Clean room, but worn. The shower backed up & water came out on the floor. Helpful staff.

10/10 Excellent

A 20 room hotel on 2 floors with an elevator located in a palazzo owned by the Curia Family( owner is a Baron). Beautiful breakfast room painted with 100 year old murals in the Baroqe style. A wonderful breakfast buffet with pastries, cakes, fruit, cheeses, cured meats, juices , hard cooked eggs, yogurt, selection of coffees and teas and marinated vegetables and cold cereals. Excellent location in Center city. Manager is very helpful and friendly. My room was beautiful with a small balcony. Very clean. I recommend this hotel.

Jeffrey, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Would not recommend this hotel. I arrived with the taxi service provided by the hotel ( paid extra) and when I arrived I was not called to check in. Manager stated they had no water. Why did he not tell me this prior to after check in time. I was left with finding a last minute hotel at 6pm. Manager did offer another hotel but was not the same ratings as this one . Bad communication as I should of been told of this prior to arrival

All good, staff very helpful, everything spotless.

We really liked this hotel. It was spotlessly clean, quiet a nd with comfortable beds and we slept like logs. Staff very helpful and we appreciated the complimentary water and soft drinks. The location couldn't be better, right by via Etna - loved it, wouldn't hesitate to book again.
