We arrived quite late - but the welcome was warm and all the facilities as good as we have come to expect from Best Western all over Europe. The room was spacious and spotless, the breakfast superb - and more than enough to see us through more or less until dinner in the evening! A very good experience all round.

The hotel is well placed - it's not on the main drag but is only a 10 minute walk to Via Etnea, the main street. There's a supermarket nearby, a bank and post office and plenty of cafes (if you can work out the opening times!) We were checked in quickly and efficiently to room 303; small, right outside the...

We stayed here for 4 nights as a base for exploring eastern Sicily--including Siracusa, Taormina, Etna, Noto, and Ragusa. The only hitch during our stay here was at check-in. I was very surprised when I registered that they tried to give us a room with only one big bed. I was traveling with a fairly hefty friend, and was pretty... More

Staff at this hotel are extremely helpful and friendly, and their command of English is very good, compared to other hotels in Italy where I had stayed before. When you arrive, you get a complimentary basket of fresh fruit and candies delivered to your room! The only objection that I have relates to the time when rooms are ready and... More

After arriving into Catania on the overnight train from Rome (not a pleasant experience) it was delightful to arrive at this hotel.

Once you have negotiated the extraordinarily manic traffic in this busy working city, Hotel Mediterraneo is a relatively peaceful oasis and a good base for a couple of days' sightseeing. A good fifteen minutes' walk downhill to the main city centre sights through busy traffic brings you to a compact centre full of fascinating places to visit. Our room was... More

What a find! This hotel is a pleasant 10 minute walk from the centre of Catania, in a lovely safe area not far from beautiful gardens.
