Le Dimore Degli Archi Catania

Very modern style.

Staff was extremely helpful and made excellent recommendations. Having just a few rooms, it was more like a bed and breakfast (without the breakfast which we would not have wanted as we were out an about in the morning.) But they provided unlimited snacks, drinks and fruit all day, which was much better.

no elevator, however only need to walk up one set of stairs and staff assisted carrying luggage

Small hotel, like a bed and breakfast, but without the breakfast. However, they provide snacks throughout the day. Staff was like a personal concierge / valet; always available She suggested specialized restaurant and made the reservations. She and her colleague even went out and purchased an unusual tea and other goodies for us. Checked with us every day while we were on tour to see if needed anything. Does not have a fancy street presence and no elevator (must walk up one flight of stairs), but they will help carry the luggage. Very good value; great service.

Nothing

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.
