At Art Fashion House Luxury Rooms, guests consistently highlight the very central Via Etnea location and attractive, characterful rooms, alongside a welcoming host, while noting this is more a staffed B&B than a hotel with continuous reception.
Many reviews praise strong cleanliness standards and tasteful decor with high ceilings and balconies. Recurring negatives include strict arrival policies requiring advance coordination, occasional refusal of late check-ins with limited refunds, and inconsistent willingness to store luggage. Others mention a very slow elevator, difficult parking or entrance signage, some street noise, and a few less comfortable beds. Best for travelers who value historic character and personal hosting and can plan check-in carefully.

Facilities
On-site amenities are limited and there is no permanent front desk; the elevator is very slow and signage or the entrance can be hard to spot. Parking is challenging nearby and luggage storage on departure is not always available.

Está en un segundo piso. Hay elevador. Arcangela es un encanto de persona. El problema es que es una calle peatonal y tienes que estacionarte en la calle o en un estacionamiento. 25 euros el día. Si tienes equipaje tienes que caminar por lo menos una cuadra. La localización es muy buena. La cama no fue muy cómoda .

Accès par ascenseur très très lent (étouffant quand il fait chaud) vous sortirez en sueur. Accueil exubérant mais pas mal de renseignements seront à extirper lors de ce premier contact. Présentation de notre chambre sobrement décorée avec balcon. Position centrale au milieu de la Via Etnea. Pas de coffre fort, pas d'armoire pour ranger nos habits et il demandé de ne rien poser sur la table. Discussions bruyantes (des jeunes sous notre fenêtre jusqu'à 3h00 du matin). Grand étalage de justifications pour nous expliquer qu'ils ne pourront pas conserver nos valises même quelques heures le jour de notre départ (on libère la chambre à 10h00 et notre avion à 17h00). Devant toutes ces excuses nous avons décidé de galérer avec nos affaires dans la ville et avec la chaleur ce n'était franchement pas agréable. On nous a demandé les formalités de départ la veille et du coup on ne nous salue pas le lendemain. J'ai fait un SMS pour dire aurevoir à la propriétaire et bizarrement elle nous a proposé de laisser nos valises quand elle compris que nous étions partis... Pourquoi ne pas avoirs accepté tout de suite en évitant toutes ces excuses et on proposant une situation claire? Bref, un imbroglio où on ne s'intéresse qu'à ce qui se monnaye. Une formule qui ressemble à une simple chambre d'hôte en moins bien et sans petit déj. Ménage tardif et approximatif(14h00 toujours pas fait). A ce prix on peut trouver beaucoup mieux dans la ville.

The property is a little difficult to find as the town restricts signage. There is a small sign near the door with is on the main street. The office is located on the send floor which can be reached by an elevator. The staff was extremely helpful, and the hotel is located in the center of town making everything very convenient. The room was very nice. Would definitely stay here again.

Be advised, there is no front desk personnel and unlike other hotels in Sicily, the check-in process is not modernized (management physically must meet you at the agreed-upon arrival time). Also, you will have to find parking in the area, which can be rather difficult to find since it's a very busy area. The issue in my case is that I arrived to the local airport at 7AM. Since we couldn't check-in at that time, we decided to rent a car and go hiking to the Etna volcano (where I had no cellphone signal). Once leaving the volcano, I advised to owner (via WhatsApp) that I would be arriving later than originally anticipated (1.5 hours later at 16:30). Upon arriving, the owner went on a verbal tirade, speaking very quickly with an aggressive tone, for (i) arriving later than expected (she had personal obligations that had to be put on hold) and (ii) for not following her parking instructions (it was difficult for me to concentrate since she stressed me out with all her messages and consecutive phone calls). I have never been treated this way by a hotel, apartment, etc. I believe the owner can be very nice as long as you don't change your time of arrival.

The context here is that this isn't a hotel it's a B&B or possibly a room. I thought being a B&B it would include breakfast as standard but it doesn't- you have to pay extra for it, even though I don't recall (and still cannot identify) an option to do so. It's not a huge issue though there are two great places for coffee and pastries 3 mins away and more beyond that, which I suspect are better value anyway. They also won't commit to keeping your luggage on the last day- its a question of whats convenient. They might but don't bank on it. There are signs to say that this was clear on booking but again I didn't see them. The reason is the owner isn't always about and has property elsewhere. There's a left luggage place 5 mins away though so its not the end of the world though of course it has a cost. You do have to clearly specify a check in time (again so the owner can make sure to be about), which has its perils. She was helpful with recommendations and booked us into a restaurant which was good. The bus to the airport drops off/picks up more or less outside which is handy. The general location is great- its on the main thoroughfare but it still didn't seem really noisy when trying to get to sleep.There's a street called Via Santa Filomena 2 mins away with bars and restaurants etc. The room looked as depicted in the photos and was generally nice and was cleaned daily perfectly well. It did say you can't use hair straighteners in them.

It was a great stay! The host was flexible and friendly, also very helpful providing info about how to get around 👍 the room was perfect, very clean and stilish, well kept and with lovely wall decorations. The location was also perfect, at walking distance from every point of interest. The airport bus is stopping on the same street very close to the hotel. No permanent reception but this wasn’t an issue at all.

The friendliness of the staff, especially Arcangela ... the room was beautifully appointed with high ceilings and two large windows/doors which each opened up onto a small balcony ... you were part of the life outside on via Etnea, or could close the windows/doors and have peace and quiet ... Arcangela also assisted with information and organising the taxi. The apartment is near a bus stop and within walking distance of all the tourist attractions, restaurants, shops in the old town! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

Be advised, there is no front desk personnel and unlike other hotels in Sicily, the check-in process is not modernized (management physically must meet you at the agreed-upon arrival time). Also, you will have to find parking in the area, which can be rather difficult to find since it's a very busy area. The issue in my case is that I arrived to the local airport at 7AM. Since we couldn't check-in at that time, we decided to rent a car and go hiking to the Etna volcano (where I had no cellphone signal). Once leaving the volcano, I advised to owner (via WhatsApp) that I would be arriving later than originally anticipated (1.5 hours later at 16:30). Upon arriving, the owner went on a verbal tirade, speaking very quickly with an aggressive tone, for (i) arriving later than expected (she had personal obligations that had to be put on hold) and (ii) for not following her parking instructions (it was difficult for me to concentrate since she stressed me out with all her messages and consecutive phone calls). I have never been treated this way by a hotel, apartment, etc. I believe the owner can be very nice as long as you don't change your time of arrival.

The context here is that this isn't a hotel it's a B&B or possibly a room. I thought being a B&B it would include breakfast as standard but it doesn't- you have to pay extra for it, even though I don't recall (and still cannot identify) an option to do so. It's not a huge issue though there are two great places for coffee and pastries 3 mins away and more beyond that, which I suspect are better value anyway. They also won't commit to keeping your luggage on the last day- its a question of whats convenient. They might but don't bank on it. There are signs to say that this was clear on booking but again I didn't see them. The reason is the owner isn't always about and has property elsewhere. There's a left luggage place 5 mins away though so its not the end of the world though of course it has a cost. You do have to clearly specify a check in time (again so the owner can make sure to be about), which has its perils. She was helpful with recommendations and booked us into a restaurant which was good. The bus to the airport drops off/picks up more or less outside which is handy. The general location is great- its on the main thoroughfare but it still didn't seem really noisy when trying to get to sleep.There's a street called Via Santa Filomena 2 mins away with bars and restaurants etc. The room looked as depicted in the photos and was generally nice and was cleaned daily perfectly well. It did say you can't use hair straighteners in them.

This was one of my worst experiences during my collaborations with any hotel or apartment booked on Hotels.com. Be aware that this location has a policy that requires you to inform them 72 hours before your arrival, and, if you forget to do that, you will lose your entire reservation. Basically, they were not offering me the possibility to lose the first night and start my journey from the next day. I truly appreciated the Hotels.com consultants, who did their best to get me at least a part of the refund.

What stay? I shared our check-in time 24 hours before our stay and I was informed I needed to give 72 hours notice. As a result, check-in was closed and we couldn’t stay the night. Luxury hotel? No.

Location
Exceptionally central on Via Etnea, walkable to major sights, dining and transport, with the airport bus stopping very close. The lively setting brings some street noise for a few guests.

The property is a little difficult to find as the town restricts signage. There is a small sign near the door with is on the main street. The office is located on the send floor which can be reached by an elevator. The staff was extremely helpful, and the hotel is located in the center of town making everything very convenient. The room was very nice. Would definitely stay here again.

The friendliness of the staff, especially Arcangela ... the room was beautifully appointed with high ceilings and two large windows/doors which each opened up onto a small balcony ... you were part of the life outside on via Etnea, or could close the windows/doors and have peace and quiet ... Arcangela also assisted with information and organising the taxi. The apartment is near a bus stop and within walking distance of all the tourist attractions, restaurants, shops in the old town! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

It was a great stay! The host was flexible and friendly, also very helpful providing info about how to get around 👍 the room was perfect, very clean and stilish, well kept and with lovely wall decorations. The location was also perfect, at walking distance from every point of interest. The airport bus is stopping on the same street very close to the hotel. No permanent reception but this wasn’t an issue at all.

Excellent location, walkable to main attractions, restaurants and transport. Shops around. In case you need Internet connection, be aware that the WiFi connection is very low. The receptionist was very helpful with information about the city, amenities and recommending local restaurants. Main train station and bus station easy to reach. Around 15 min walking.

Accès par ascenseur très très lent (étouffant quand il fait chaud) vous sortirez en sueur. Accueil exubérant mais pas mal de renseignements seront à extirper lors de ce premier contact. Présentation de notre chambre sobrement décorée avec balcon. Position centrale au milieu de la Via Etnea. Pas de coffre fort, pas d'armoire pour ranger nos habits et il demandé de ne rien poser sur la table. Discussions bruyantes (des jeunes sous notre fenêtre jusqu'à 3h00 du matin). Grand étalage de justifications pour nous expliquer qu'ils ne pourront pas conserver nos valises même quelques heures le jour de notre départ (on libère la chambre à 10h00 et notre avion à 17h00). Devant toutes ces excuses nous avons décidé de galérer avec nos affaires dans la ville et avec la chaleur ce n'était franchement pas agréable. On nous a demandé les formalités de départ la veille et du coup on ne nous salue pas le lendemain. J'ai fait un SMS pour dire aurevoir à la propriétaire et bizarrement elle nous a proposé de laisser nos valises quand elle compris que nous étions partis... Pourquoi ne pas avoirs accepté tout de suite en évitant toutes ces excuses et on proposant une situation claire? Bref, un imbroglio où on ne s'intéresse qu'à ce qui se monnaye. Une formule qui ressemble à une simple chambre d'hôte en moins bien et sans petit déj. Ménage tardif et approximatif(14h00 toujours pas fait). A ce prix on peut trouver beaucoup mieux dans la ville.
