Stayed for one night in May. Was upgraded to a suite, decor was excellent. Only complaint would be the shower, which had no power at all, and the fact that it was at the front facing the main road so was pretty noisy. The terrace is lovely and again beautifully decorated. Staff were really helpful and friendly.

This hotel is a good hotel in a great city. UNA is an italian hotel chain and chain-experience is what you get. However, the hotel is clean, central, safe and the staff is friendly.

Catania is large, busy and with the crowds and traffic it can be overwhelming. This hotel is located on a "shopping" street with a lovely park on one end, cafeterias and cafes intermingled with both small shops and a large department store. It is within walking distance of some ruins, a few large churches and a huge outdoor market. The... More
