Property is an easy walk out of the city passed the park and gardens down the main streets. The bus from the airport (via the bus station) goes passed the front door (ask for 'Viale'). It's clean spacious and modern inside. Check in was unmanned and easy. The only issue is that the windows (/balcony doors) are single glazed and the road gets really noisy from 6am with people using horns. They also empty bins and glass into refuse trucks around midnight! If there was a bit more soundproofing then I'd have no problem giving more stars!

Put in a room with a toilet that is constantly flushing, main aircon not working AND the split system that was installed in the room didn’t work and clearly needed a service. The Main Street was so noisy that we heard sirens all night and people screaming. It was hotter and stuffier inside than out, it was not comfortable to sleep in there at all. Our young family slept with cold towels over us to try and cool down! Although the breakfast was small in options, it was the only highlight of our stay. The croissants were delicious. Thank you, however we will not be returning back.

5 of us girls stayed at OttoMood and our room had 3 single beds and one queen bed. It was perfect. There was a closet to store our belongings and the staff were great to make sure we had fresh towels or we could help our selves. The morning breakfast was simple yet all we needed to start the day. The cappuccinos were good too. The staff were helpful and friendly. Wifi was intermittent, but overall good. Bottle opener in room. Access to a shared kitchen. We left our wine bottles in there over the course of the week and they were never taken. Kettle in room. Cute balcony. High ceilings. Secure building and safe area of Catania right in the center town. Tons of places to eat and within walking distance to the Fish market, beaches, sightseeing. Slightly noisy at night if you sleep with balcony door open but quiet when closed. Great value!

Great comfortable hotel in convenient location. Perfect for a few nights if in Catania. Lots to do in the area and plenty of decent restaurants and shops all within 10 minutes walk. Rooms that front the main road may be a bit noisy for some lighter sleepers, so recommend ear plugs. Beautiful selection of fresh pastries, continental breakfast items and coffee served up by the owners themselves every morning. Owners are extremely friendly and helpful also. Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay at Excellent Boutique type B&B.

Great bedrooms with good quality fittings. Very clean and rooms thoroughly cleaned daily. Breakfast was also excellent with wide range of freshly baked rolls, croissants, and cakes together with savoury items. Good location near Bellini Park and 2min walk to Shuttle Bus stop to Airport. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Only downside is reception is not manned throughout the day. Make sure you make prior arrangements for self check-in if you need to drop off bags before 3pm check-in.

Difficulty checking in at 3.30pm as advised on Expedia paperwork. Was told it was 4pm so we had a wait. However checkin lady was lovely . The rooms were compact and fine for a short stay. There was no soap offered however (but shampoo was ) and the safe (only in some rooms) were so high in the cupboard that a chair would be needed to utilise them. Lastly - English subtitles , if they can be arranged on the TV - would be a huge bonus as every channel on TV is in Italian. At least for some of the programmes. All in all a very reasonable stay at a property in a fairly good location.

Lovey Stay

The air con was good to have, takes a while to cool the room so I would recommend leaving it on when you go out, (not very environmentally friendly I know!). The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, we were able to check in early as one of the staff was passing by and we could leave our bags in the hotel after we checked out until our train, also really useful. Breakfast was lovely, mostly sweet food, maybe could do with eggs or something. Location is good, only a ten minute walk from main tourist attractions. The room itself was very clean, big comfy bed (double) and the bathroom had everything - although as a girl some hair conditioner wouldn’t go amiss! The only thing that wasn’t very pleasant was when we woke in the morning there was a very fishy smell which I believe came from the bathroom, possibly a sewage issue which may be easily fixed?! Definitely recommend staying here, great value for money!
