Nothing special. It was very difficult to figure out where to go once we were inside the building. No indication whatsoever. Luckily another customer saw us (we looked lost with our suitcases) and told us to go to the 5th floor. A lot of mosquitoes!!!

Owner is very friendly and goes above and beyond to help. Space was sufficient and clean, conveniently located. Elevators onsite so no need to carry your luggage through stairwells. This B&B doesn’t have any signage but upon arrival the owner showed up and brought us to the correct floor and helped us get settled in.

I had a fantastic little room with a balcony and a very kind and caring host. Тhere was a lovely view of Etna from the breakfast room. The only problem was the neighbour's dog (the hotel is on one floor in an apartment building) which kept barking, even through the night.

Good location
Owner is very friendly but speaks no English. We were able to communicate with Google translate. Room was great and I had a perfect view of Mt. Etna. Breakfast was not the best. Owner's son asked us what we wanted for breakfast the next day but did not give us what we asked for. Wifi did not work in all the rooms. Hotel is in a great location

Siamo stati benissimo. La camera era ampia, luminosa e ditata di tutti i comfort. Colazione ottima e abbondante con vista sull'Etna. Il signor Carmelo e suo figlio Marco gentilissimi, ci hanno dato tanti consigli utili su come muoverci nella zona, cosa visitare e dove mangiare. Il B&B si trova in pieno centro, e tutti i posti da vedere in città sono raggiungibili a piedi. Torneremo sicuramente.

The host was very friendly and tried to help. He had minimal English so used a translator on his phone. The property was not where it was shown on hotels.com. Instead of being on the square by the metro it was about a quarter of a mile away from the location listed in the direction away from the city center. It did have a bus stop outside the door.

Nice owner. Perfect place for a short stay( I stayed one night). Not a ton of amenities but has the basics. Only problem is the WiFi does t work consistently which is a problem if your an international visitor.

I loved this place!! The location is perfect. It's near all the main sites. The room was super clean. The bed was comfortable. Carmelo was a great host!! He's a very nice man. Just right outside the entrance is the bus stop to the airport. The breakfast was simple but very good. I would definitely stay here again. I hope to return in the future.

Papali 289 befindet sich in einem hinteren Abteil des Hauses. Es ist kein Klingelschild, noch sonstige Information zu lesen. Erst auf Nachfrage wurden wir in einen dunklen Flur gebeten, um mit einem sehr alten und fragwürdigen Aufzug in die 5. Etage zu fahren. Das Treppenhaus war ebenfalls sehr dunkel und schmutzig. Die Unterkunft war zwar sauber und modern eingerichtet. Der Sohn des Besitzers, welcher sich um das Organisatorische und Frühstück kümmert, sorgte jedoch für einen nicht empfehlenswerten Aufenthalt. Als wir ankamen sagte man uns, dass wir kein Frühstück gebucht hatten. Erst nach viel Überzeugungsarbeit glaubte man uns schließlich. Am nächsten Morgen erhielten wir zwei kleine Croissants und ein Heißgetränk. Auf Nachfrage am nächsten Morgen auch etwas Herzhaftes wie Brot oder Aufschnitt zu bekommen wurde mit Protest bejaht. So erhielten wir an den darauffolgenden Tagen ein Brötchen, wenige Scheiben Käse, Butter und ein Croissant. Er bereitete es sehr langsam zu und reagierte auf Nachfragen stets genervt und unhöflich. Am Abreisetag verlangte er die Tax während des Frühstücks, obwohl darum gebeten wurde es anschließend in Ruhe zu klären. Er schaute durchgehend Videos, sprach kaum englisch, versuchte nicht Informationen zu beschreiben oder zu übersetzen und ließ uns warten. Insgesamt waren die Räumlichkeiten der Unterkunft zwar modern gestaltet, der Service und Umgang jedoch unmenschlich und nicht empfehlenswert.

Helt ok
Bra läge på via Etnea. Hållplats för flygbuss direkt utanför entrén. Trevlig värd som tyvärr inte pratar engelska. Ingen frukostbuffé, utan värden fixar enligt önskemål. Ingen riktig hotellentre så det kan vara svårt att hitta första gången, men värden kom direkt efter telefonsamtal. Finns balkonger med utsikt över staden och mot Etna. Rent och fint rum. Överlag bra och prisvärt.
