What guests think

At Katane Palace Hotel, travelers repeatedly praise the friendly, helpful staff, spacious clean rooms, and a breakfast with plenty of choice, while the quiet street location is walkable to Via Etnea, the Duomo, the train station, and the Alibus stop.

However, several reviews note the surrounding neighborhood looks run down, with a few feeling unsafe or finding the approach from the station inconvenient. Interiors lean classic with a pleasant courtyard, bar and restaurant, though some bathrooms and showers feel dated or awkward and occasional corridor noise or AC issues are reported. Cleanliness is generally strong, but rare lapses appear, and parking is available via garage or partner arrangements, sometimes limited and for a fee that surprised a few. Expect a comfortable, convenient base with warm service and a traditional feel.

Um hotel que recomendo, limpeza impecável, o quarto espaçoso, bom café da manhã, ambiente e atendimento super agradáveis, ponto de atenção: quem estiver com carro, a garagem, mesmo com pagamento adicional, tem vagas limitadas e aí pode ser um transtorno por que não tem estacionamento perto, usei o serviço uma noite apenas. Muito agradável depois de um dia intenso tomar um vinho no bar, além de ótimos vinhos o atendimento muito acolhedor.

The hotel was tastefully decorated. The seating area downstairs was co-ordinated and the chairs were comfortable. It gave a cosy feeling. It was nice to sit out in the square to have breakfast. The bedroom was spacious. The hotel was in a quiet area but perhaps the air conditioning was a little noisy. We did not turn it off as it was hot. A special word of thanks should go to the staff. They were all very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

Uno stile classico e ricercato, con un bellissimo cortile c’è richiama la Sicilia e si stacca dall’esterno, dove sia l’hotel che il quartiere non risalta certamente per eleganza. Colazione continentale con molta frutta. Purtroppo usano macchinette per il caffè e dolcetti standard industriali, comprese le torte. Uova strapazzate e sode con wuerstel. Personale cortese, ambienti e camere spaziose e pulite. Frequentato in questo periodo da molti turisti stranieri evidentemente in pensione. La zona non è bellissima ma è comoda per i mezzi (compreso l’Alibus dall’aeroporto) e per i numerosi locali.

After spending time trying to find a reasonably priced hotel we found this little gem. Some reviews were negative some positive. We were stopping over for a couple of days so just needed what it said on the tin!! The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the room basic, but very clean and air conditioned. Free soft drinks and water were added each morning, fresh towels and room cleaned even on a 2 night stay. Nice relaxing area and court yard for breakfast, fresh fruit, yogurt, coffee juice, bacon scrabbled eggs, everything you need to start the day. Not quite a 4 star but not necessarily a 3 star, no coffee/tea making facilities in bedroom but everything else, ensuite, safe, WiFi, TV. Area of hotel is a shame, but after walking the street I think all of Catarina is the same. I wouldn't blame the hotel but the local government, it could be so much more but little investment in clean streets and generally keeping it looking nice compared with other Itian regions we travelled through. On the whole if you need a proper hotel offering good service, somewhere safe, friendly staff you could do a lot worse than Katana If I need a stop over again in this area I would use again, a good central place to leave and explore.

But I was a little dissapointed when they would not even do a partial refund for 2/7 days we were staying in the hotel. - Bathroom is very large but with an annoying shower

Embora a aparência externa não seja das melhores, o hotel foi todo reformado por dentro, e as instalações são bem agradáveis. A equipe é muito cordial e prestativa. O café da manhã superou nossas expectativas, com várias opções de frutas, pães, frios e doces. O hotel fica no centro (bem localizado) e tem convênio com estacionamento (15 Euros/dia), mas preferimos estacionar na rua (zona azul), a um custo de 2,90 Euros/periodo, mas não foi muito fácil, havia poucas vagas disponíveis.
