The hotel boasts excellent amenities and a prime location, a private entrance to the Valley of Temples. However, there's room for improvement in the service department; it falls short of delivering a consistently five-star experience. The staffs could enhance their customer orientation and avoid a selective attention to guests.
Bella struttura, forse un po' grande. Camera sufficentemente pulita, forse andrebbe fatta qualche ristrutturazione. Il letto comodissimo, la colazione nella sufficenza, mi aspettavo di più. Tutto ciò che non ha raggiunto il livello di eccellenza e stato ripagato da una location bellissima. Bella la piscina e il giardino.
A stylish hotel, in a fabulous location! We could see Mt Etna from this gorgeous hotel.
Parking was free.
From the time we arrived until the time we left, we could not fault it.
I highly recommend this really beautiful hotel.
Newly renovated hotel with nice pool and view. We are a little disappointed with the room without balcony view. But the breakfast and swimming pool view made up for it.
Reception staffs are very nice and helpful.
Нам очень понравилось пребывание в данном отеле. Мы пожалели, что не остались подольше. Отель невероятно красивый, с богатой историей и это чувствуется. Замечательный бассейн, чтобы поплавать и позагорать возле него. Вид с балкончика у нас был очень красивый. Уборка номера отличная. Завтрак хороший, есть все, что нужно : яйца, выпечка, йогурты, нарезка сыра и колбасы, фрукты, кофе. Территория отеля большая, чтобы погулять, посидеть в красивом саду. Очень хотели бы вернуться снова. Небольшой минус-отель находится далековато от исторического центра, 30-40 минут пешком, но плюс местоположения в том, что ночью тихо, район спокойный и безопасный.
Struttura non rinnovata, pur in ottima posizione. Letti abbastanza scomodi, poca insonorizzazione riscaldamento poco funzionante. Lato peggiore la colazione con prodotti di bassa qualità e poco assortita.
Great place to stay if you are travelling through Sicily. Walk to the Cathedral see the piazza and grab a meal. It’s a good walk up the hill but we managed it very well. You can park in the e council car park 20m away.
SshittalkerExcellent Stay with Great Location and Stunning Views
I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic—just a 16-minute walk from the train station and about 15-20 minutes on foot to the island’s main attractions.
The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and very clean, with the added bonus of being close to the sea. It even had two balconies, allowing us to enjoy the lovely views and fresh air.
What made our stay even better was the friendly and helpful staff. They were always welcoming and went out of their way to assist us whenever needed.

**Great Location & Beautiful Room, but Noise Can Be an Issue**
I had a mostly pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is excellent—just a **16-minute walk from the train station** and **15-20 minutes to the island’s main attractions**.
The room itself was **spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated**, with the added benefit of being **close to the sea** and featuring **two balconies**. The staff were also **very friendly and helpful**, which enhanced our experience.
However, there was one major downside: the walls are extremely thin. We could easily hear noises from the hallway and stairwell. On our last night, the neigh-boring room was very loud, which disrupted our sleep and unfortunately put a damper on an otherwise great trip.
RRJeyDecent Stay with Friendly Service
Our stay at Hotel Villa Rossi was average, as expected from a 3-star property. The rooms were basic but acceptable. What stood out was the friendly and helpful staff at reception — great service from genuinely nice people. Overall, a decent experience for the price
ผผู้เข้าพักThe Hotel was great. Downside that it has no car park. One time spent over 1.1/2Hours driving in Circles to find a parking spot. I was a bit disappointed in some thibgs….The Hotel takes a 100euro off your card as a security. Why? I paid cash all the time but wanted to have my evening dinner charged on my room and they refused because the bill was 104 euro. I never ever encountered such guest mistrust… I must add we waited a lot to get the second course.. a bit too much I would say.
The hotel was really beautiful, nice room, breakfast was great and varied. The staff very polite and courtious.
CClaire MPapali was on the first floor of a very old building, so expect to walk up a few steps with your luggage, because there's no elevator ... But, the Signore who welcomed us was very friendly and even went downstairs - while I already could go into our room - to help my husband find a parking spot on the street nearby.
We had a very good night in a simple, but super clean and quite big room, comfy bed as well ... Bathroom was nice and clean with plenty of towels ...
The first picture I took in the morning after our night at Papali out from the balcony, the second was taken in the morning when we had our breakfast served kindly in the little dining area ...
Btw, Papali is located wonderfully - it's an easy walk to all the main sightseeing spots of Catania! I added some pictures of our evening walk ...
Summary: Papali is a great choice locationwise and if you do not want to spend too much, but still want to have a cozy night at a simple but friendly and nice place.
