Le Dimore Degli Archi Catania

Honestly this is such a beautiful hotel located in a very central area in Catania. It’s about 15 mins from the airport and a 15 min walk from the Catania Central station so it was easy to get around. The room was very clean, beautiful and comfortable. I liked the added touch of the tea room in the reception with all day coffee and treats. The stand out for this hotel though was truly the staff. Big shout out to Tamara who was so kind, friendly and informative. The service from the whole team, from the housekeeping, to the owner, to the receptionists is honestly second to none. They make sure you have everything you need and the communication starts before you arrive. They tailor your stay to your needs and really go the extra mile. Thank you all for a really wonderful stay in Sicily!

Nothing to declare.

A well designed room which was well equipped and gave the feeling of space and luxury

Shower had a bit of mould on outskirts

The personnel was very kind and polite. We took advantage of the shuttle service after we arrived. It was easy and convenient for our late flight. The building is old but the room was part of a renovated area and it was clean and made up on a daily basis. There were some snaks for "emergency" situations :) The building is about 10 min away from the bus/train station. I expected to be much nosier but it wasnt; there were some unpleasant noises from time to time but they are rare. There is airconditioner in the room. In the facility there is also convenient free of charge automated luggage storage which helped us a lot during the last day of our stay.

The room was small along with the shower cabin - hard to move inside the cabin. The window was small and it was oriented in a niche towards the neighbouring building (almost no air or light from there).

The location is good but is quite dark and not too well lit at night. The apartment was very spacious. Breakfast wasn’t included in the package we chose but there were so many free snacks available in the “tea room” and lovely hot drinks.

The air conditioning was not effective in the superior suite. Very uncomfortable for chilling out and trying to sleep. We are in our second hotel now in Sicily and it is a major difference to have fully functioning air conditioning.
