Not on ground floor. Carrying luggage up a flight 1-1/2 of stairs , loose tiles. Had to argue to get air conditioner in room. All lights are turned off daily. You had to manually turn on hallway lights at the hotel(not room). No staff available after 9:30. Rooms we clean and tidy.

Not at all recommended
I asked for late check-in and they charged me 60€ just because they sent me an email with instructions. No employ was waiting for me to justify this amount. They also offered to charge me 50€ if I would pay in cash (is this tax evasion or what?) The place is the usual old building lightly renovated to pretend that it's a hotel and charge this ridiculous price, for the level of the accommodation. Terrible mattress, small uncomfortable bathroom, too noisy toilet flush refill. The breakfast was awful. Not at all recommended. There are a lot more nice places in Catania.

Pretty bleak - turned out our room only had a window onto an external corridor, so it could not be opened. Advertised as having parking, but it's actually in a paid car park about ten minute's walk from the hotel. Would not stay here again.

We mistakenly booked for dates in November instead of October. After discussions with the booking agent, we were told to go to the Hotel on 19 October and the Hotel would see what they could do. When we got there, the Manager said he could do nothing about the problem and he had no more rooms. We could already see from online booking sites, including the agent we had booked through, that there were indeed rooms available. The gentleman just couldn't be bothered tending to our concerns. Our mistake initially, Yes, but he should have shown some understanding. We subsequently found a fabulous apartment by the amphitheatre, much cheaper than this Hotel and totally modern. So some good emerged from the cold and uncaring attitude that greeted us at Hotel Etnea.

My partner and I opted to stay in this hotel for convenience. For £23/night including breakfast we didn’t have high expectations. However, it was extremely difficult to find and if it was not for a guest passing by we wouldn’t have found it at all. The floor in the bedroom felt really dirty so we opted to wear flip flops. The shower head only let out a small sprinkle of water due to heavy limescale. The breakfast was simple but worth the extra few £ until we were told we were only allowed one bread roll per person as the hotel was full. One receptionist that checked us in and explained the limitations of breakfast was particularly patronising and brash to us. We would not recommend this hotel and will not return.

Shower was very small (only downfall). Marco and domenico were great hosts. I would stay here again. Location is perfectly cental for busses, taxis and "hop off hop on " sight seeing bus. Via etnea is the main street of catania.

Good accomodation conveniently situated
Hotel Etnea 316 is a small friendly place with helpful and friendly staff. It is centrally situated for the main attractions in Catania. Getting there from the airport is easy as the Alibus stops virtually on the doorstep. The rooms are basic but very clean and bed comfortable. No tea making facilities in the room but you can ask at reception and they will make one for you. Reception is manned 24 hours a day. I went on the trip to Etna with Marco who is very personable and knowledgeable and obviously enjoys sharing his country with people. Would recommend to friends and family.
