Biscari - Catania

El hotel está situado a pocos metros de la catedral, y cerca de las calles comerciales. El personal es amable. Ibamos dos personas y nos dieron una habitación cuádruple enorme con una cama de matrimonio, dos individuales, sofá y tele. También dispone de aire acondicionado. El desayuno no es gran cosa, pero adecuado, se sirve en una terraza con vistas.

A pesar de que está situado en el centro, su ubicación no nos gustó, pues está algo retirado de la estación del tren para ir andando, unos 15 min aprox. Algo dificil de encontrar si no llevas el itinerario impreso. Por otro lado cuando llegas, las calles no son nada agradables y el hotel está dentro de una casa de vecinos. Sin duda lo peor de este hotel esque no tiene ascensor, y hay que subir varias plantas, y para viajar con maletas y personas mayores, no es nada recomendable.

La atencion recibida desde el mismo dia de llegada

Buena ubicacion.

El personal nos dio mala informacion para ir al aeropuerto. El banho estaba sucio, la ducha era diminuta y no tenia presion. Ademas, cada vez que se usaba el agua hacia un ruido espantoso en toda la habitacion. Solo habia un jabon de manos liquido. La cama de matrimonio tenia dos colchones que se separaban, la almohada era de relleno de cojines, incomodisima y la colcha se resbalaba todo el tiempo y se caia al suelo. Fue imposible dormir porque aun encima, hay muchisimo ruido en la calle de coches y gente. Por la noche es dificil llamar al timbre porque la entrada esta en un pasadizo y no hay luz. Para colmo, hay que subir muchisimas escaleras y no hay ascensor. Para el desayuno hay que pasar por un pasillo exterior que si llueve te mojas. El desayuno malisimo, tostadas, croissants de paquete y galletitas. El peor hotel de mi vida.

La atención de los empleados, muy amables y gentiles.

Varias cosas no me gustaron: No es para personas mayores, hay que subir dos pisos por escaleras muy altas (por ser un palazzo antiguo). El baño tenía olor a agua estancada y el extractor del baño hacía un ruido tremendo. Y la ducha era un cerrado por mamparas muy pequeño bastante dificil de usar para una persona de gran tamaño.

La ubicación es estupenda, aunque es un poco difícil encontrarlo. La atención es buena y la relación calidad-precio adecuada.

Deben mejorar un poco las instalaciones.

El hostal es centrico, el personal es muy amable, las habitaciones son super grandes con techos muy altos. pero en general por calidad precio está muy bien hay pocas estancias en el hostal con lo cual tb es tranquilo y esta a 5min del Duomo y de la zona de salir de fiesta..y apenas a 12 min del aeropuerto en coche... y la gente de alli en seguida te indican donde salir comer, visitar...muy majos

Lo unico que no gustó mucho es la ESCASA variedad en el buffet del desayuno porque tras 10 dias de estancia no han variado NADA y realmente se hace ya un desayuno aburrido con cereales o tostadas de mantequilla o croissants de chocolate a cual más duro...poca variedad... zumo de naraja roja o cafe soluble o leche o infusión...

La habitación era muy amplia y confortable. El desayuno en la terraza es muy agradable.

Muy complicado acceder con coche.Han rehabilitado una parte de la segunda planta del palacio,pero no hay ascensor y son 68 escalones que hay que subir con la maleta.

Nothing in particular. We spent as little time as possible in the hotel.

To access the hotel you had to climb 62 stairs, there was no lift. This was not mentioned on your website, also the parking mentioned it a small courtyard with room for 4 cars only and other home owners in the block use it as well as the hotel. There is then a further 8 steps to reach the breakfast room and these steps have no rail for holding onto.

The fact that the location is great and the staff is friendly is very convenient and welcoming for a tourist who barely speak Italian and completely new to Catania

The breakfast is horrible on the first day; also the room 1 is located next to the front desk (lobby); hence, the bell to open the gate on the first floor keep ringing throughout the night.. it would be much appreciated if the front desk person can just stay and do the work instead of wandering around until the bell has been rang for 10x before he or she can open the door.. the AC has a weird sound throughout the night. not a pleasant rest at all

very big room with big top and good terrace for breakfast

Very noisily. Drunk people bawled all nighk. Very bad noise insulation is in the hotel.

An ancient bulding in the city center, 3 minutes walking from the main square of Catania. Pleasant staff and free parking. If you want to stay for a 1-2 days , enjoy the city and save money - Hotel "Biscari" is one that you need.

Noise from the street.

Wonderfull good preserved palace of XVIII century. Just in the historical center and in 300 m from the Borsellino bus station (buses from and to airport, to almost all large cities of Sicilia), 150 m to splendid Teatro Massimo. Terrace with the view to the sea and to green courtyards. We received clean large room (No.4) of 50 sq.m with stucco moulding ceiling of 5 m high and two balconies - to small lane 'via Anzalone' and to 'via Vittorio Emmanuele II'. This street is very busy but closed shutters on balcony's door and door-curtains are good soundproofing. It was guite suitably for us. There is restaurant-pizzeria on the ground floor of this building and small mini-market opposite.

Only one disadvantage - lack of elevator. It is important for seniors and families with baby carriage

Good value for money in Catania city center - big and clean rooms, nice breakfast, friendly staff

Two problematic points: the hotel is on a main road, so some of the rooms can be a bit noisy (Catania bus traffic is quite heavy, but the hotel is on the 3rd floor so it's not very bad). the second point is that the hotel is located on the 3rd floor of the building and there's no elevator.

The hotel staff was just great, everyone really nice and helfpful, explained where to go and what to see in Catania, felt like I would be welcomed by my friends. Really liked the terrace where breakfast is served. Breakfast ok, choice from croissant or bread with cheese /marmelade, coffee. Nice room weith very high ceiling and balcony.

My room was just next to the reception and as everyone has to ring to be let in all the time, heard pretty much the buzzer like it would be in my room. Quite noisy at night as well but resolved with ear plugs so it was ok. The only thing which I didn't like was the bathroom, no space in shower, water hard to regulate and some problems with the waste pipes I guess as all the time when I was showering, the water from the toilet pipe started to overflow and the smell was just terrible.

A very beautiful ancient bulding in the city center, 2 minutes walking from the main square of Catania. Very nice staff and free parking.We'll definitely recommend it if you want to stay for a weekend , enjoy the city and save money!
