HABITAT BOUTIQUE HOTEL

Vi bokade ett De luxe dubbelrum. Det var ett rymligt rum med takfönster. Ljust, rent med välfylld minibar. Nackdelen med rummet var att toalett och dusch hade frostad glasvägg med delvis insyn och det kändes inte helt bekvämt. Sängen var något hård. Personalen var mycket tillmötesgående. Utflykten som de arrangerar till Etna rekommenderas. Hotellet har en mysig innergård och frukosten mycket bra och Sicilien-inspirerad. Nära till centrum och restauranger. Vi är mycket nöjda med vår vistelse.

great hotel, excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff

???? The location is great. It felt less touristy than other locations but still very close to the centre and to the beautiful Teatro Massimo Bellini. There is a very nice gelateria in the square next to the Theatre as well! The receptionist at the check-in was lovely.
The bed was comfortable.

???? This property is pure visuals. It looks great, it's exactly as it looks in photos but... It's all looks. Our room was not clean. And I'm 100% sure our bed was not made fresh. I knew this just from moving the top cover to show the sheet underneath but then got all the proof I needed when I saw contact lenses on the side of the bed. And a black hair that was not mine. And the sheet was slightly stained.
So... Yeah. And the bathroom wasn't clean either.
Please note this is a very spacious room, super easy to clean so I couldn't come up with a reason why the toilet wasn't spotless or the bathroom sink had little hairs and stains as well. I did tell this to the receptionists when they asked the typical
"everything was ok?" assuming that everything was ok. One of them left straight away, l assume to speak with the cleaner. The other barely apologised but seemed surprised this had happened so hopefully it was just a one off. One other issue: the smell. I know the building is like 200 years old but at least use some air freshener. But the biggest issue for me wasn't even the sheets not being changed or the smell. It was the breakfast.
EVERYTHING WAS STALE. The cakes, the bread, the biscuits. The fruit was bitter. The juices tasted strange. It was the worst breakfast l've ever had at a hotel and l've stayed in over 100. We were so disappointed to have a horrible breakfast in such a lovely looking place and to be fooled by photos of the "organic, fresh" food they supposedly serve.
Even the fruit salad had canned fruit!
Also didn't enjoy the ludicrous prices of chocolate and wine in the room. Completely overpriced! And there were ants in the room ????????also we asked for a quiet room because we were very unlucky with the hotels we stayed at in Sicily and we were indeed in a quiet room... Until some guests were checked in to the room next to ours that had the weirdest door with the loudest lock!

A hotel is located in the very city center in a building 500 years old! We were nicely greeted. The hotel is still being renovated (no sound of it). The hotel is stylish, nice breakfast (we stayed for one night), good coffee. I don’t recommend taking the room in the upper floor where there are no windows, just Velux. The rooms there are not very convenient and comfortable. No wardrobe, very small room and it’s not convenient at all even for 1 night stay for two people with luggage. Also, the elevator doesn’t reach the upper floor so you should be super careful with the stairs and luggage. The room was however clean.

E' una bellissima struttura in posizione centralissima a Catania in un antico palazzo. Abbiamo soggiornato all"inizio di febbraio ed aveva riaperto proprio allora, dopo una ristrutturazione. Gli spazi sono arredati in modo originale e raffinato, in uno stile moderno che ben si armonizza con lo stile antico del palazzo. Alla reception Nadia e Raffaele sono stati gentilissimi e premurosi e hanno soddisfatto ogni nostra esigenza. All'interno del palazzo c'è anche un ristorante veramente ottimo che propone un menù di cucina molto ricercata ed è segnalato dalla guida Michelin. I coradduzzi, la triglia con lenticchie e l'insalata di mare ci sono rimasto veramente impressi per l'equilibrio di sapori. Nel ristorante viene servita anche una ricchissima colazione, ci vorrebbero più giorni per provare tutto. Non ultimo segnalo che c'è un comodo garage utilizzabile dagli ospiti dell' hotel a pochi passi. Ci tornerei sicuramente per visitare la zona, non è il solito hotel come ce ne sono tanti,
è un posto che si ricorda e rende più piacevole la vacanza.
