excellent access to historic landmarks and great dining options

I loved that it was just a few steps from the stunning Castello Ursino, and I could enjoy delicious meals at nearby places like Trattoria da Mario, which made my stay super enjoyable as a single traveler who loves exploring cities.

The location was perfect for exploring, with great restaurants just a short walk away. The room was spacious and well-equipped, which made for a very comfortable stay. However, there was no assistance with luggage during check-in or check-out, and I had difficulty finding the breakfast area, which could be better marked.

The hotel is perfectly situated, making it easy to explore Catania with my family. We loved the small balcony attached to our room, where we enjoyed the sounds and vibrant atmosphere of the city. Having a beach shuttle was especially convenient for our little ones.

In my wife’s opinion, the smaller family rooms could use better layout options for kids. A little more space would have made our stay even more comfortable.

Fantastic location with all major attractions just a short stroll away. The room offers spacious comfort, featuring high ceilings and tasteful decor that sets a relaxing atmosphere.

Breakfast options leave a lot to be desired, with limited healthy choices and items that don’t feel fresh. Parking presents a headache, as the hotel only offers minimal on-street spots, and there’s a peculiar arrangement where staff park your car for you, raising security concerns. Air conditioning can be hit or miss, which might bother those who prefer a consistently comfortable environment. Furthermore, the service can feel inconsistent, especially regarding requests for help with late check-out arrangements.

Perfect Spot for a Catania Getaway!

We enjoyed a fantastic stay, with attentive staff and a delightful breakfast spread. Our room had a lovely view, and we appreciated being close to local restaurants for evening meals. Be sure to confirm any special requests upon check-in for a smooth experience!

The central location is fantastic, making it easy to explore. The staff were mostly friendly and eager to assist. However, the breakfast was below expectations for a 4-star hotel, and wifi access was unreliable. The room itself was decent but could use better upkeep.

I stayed at Il Principe Hotel and truly enjoyed its spacious rooms and central location, perfect for exploring Catania's artistic treasures. The breakfast had some limitations in quality, but the friendly service made up for it. A lovely experience overall, despite a few small issues.

great room but lacked breakfast variety

I enjoyed the spacious room and the comfortable bed. The hospitality from the receptionist, Mohamad, made the stay special!

The breakfast options were limited.

The room was spacious and well-appointed, providing a comfortable environment for my business needs. The reception staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making the check-in process seamless. The location was ideal, with easy access to major attractions and dining options, which enhanced my stay considerably. I also appreciated the efficient business center, which allowed me to complete work tasks effectively.

Parking situation was limited and felt insecure.

il principe hotel is in a fantastic location with all the sights and many restaurants within walking distance. the superior room was spacious and well-decorated, featuring comfortable beds and great lighting. the reception staff were super helpful, making my stay even better. plus, the place has a nice bar, although it was out of service during the season. definitely a lovely place to be around the ceremonies for saint agatha!

totally recommend

can just recommend for a couple of nights

Comfortable stay, spacious room with a nice bathroom, our room was well-decorated and had good lighting that enhanced our experience. The location made it easy to explore the city and nearby dining options.

Found nothing wrong.

Couple recommend it for central stay

Had a great experience with spacious room and fantastic staff! The location is perfect, everything is within walking distance and it felt cozy every evening when we settled back.

It wasn’t cheap for what we got, but still acceptable.

Oh man, Catania's food scene had my taste buds dancing! Buatta served some shabushabu that made my heart sing. And hands down, the location is a winner, right near that killer pizza spot Al Vicolo Pizza&Vino. Plus, my room was a double delight—spacious and cozy! Talk about a spot to unwind after a day of adventure.

But breakfast? Total letdown. Think basic and pricy, especially with the killer eats just outside. I mean, a few fresh veggies and some attentive waitstaff could’ve made a world of difference. Oh, and if you're up high, showers might turn into a splash fest—bring patience!
