If you want a good location above quality of property this is the one for you. Otherwise, it’s like stepping into the 70s. Tired, worn, in places dirty - bath doesn’t drain when having a shower. Staff refused to let us have two additional pillows, only allowing us one to supplement the thin single pillow given each. Definitely no service with a smile either - but that’s Catania generally
