The hotel had charm and I liked the old style. I felt like I was really on vacation when entering because of the dark wood furniture, the style and vibe of the place. Location was Superb, in the middle of the city center. The room was very clean and I could relax feeling comfortable. I could easily have stayed more nights at this hotel. I checked in late at night 2-3am and that was no problem. The breakfast was very simple in real Italian style which fitted the hotel experience. You get a coffee served and crossiants (fresh and good taste) which is important for me. The hotel staff was also very friendly and service minded. For me this was a simple, yet nice and very genuin place to stay if you want a real Italian experience, and not the typical resort hotels in which you find everywhere.

The staff is present at the reception all time and happy to help you with anything you need. The location of the hotel is right next to Via Etnea which is the main street downtown connecting it to Piazza Duomo and main attractions in Catania and also close to bars and restaurants. Also the room was very clean and they change the sheets and towels daily. Water was running great, no issues with the neighbors or noise. It's budget friendly , definitely not luxurious.

The breakfast was not as expected. They had only one type of cheese and ham and a lot of gem and sweets. Coffee was ok but not the best, but I expected some eggs or vegetables to have a complete delicious breakfast. One sandwich and one croissant is not enough. For multiple days you just need more diversity.

The Hotel Gresi ooze’s character and charm nestled on a side street off Via Etnea, a street brimming with shops and side street cafes and restaurants. The hotel is not modern nor is its amenities so don’t expect a clinical multinational branded hotel and facilities but this is just a great, well priced and honest hotel with beautiful high and ornate ceilings. It has soul to it, stepping through the large doors into the courtyard up the lift to reception you are greeted by beautiful plaster and artwork throughout the hotel. The staff were excellent, the rooms are large, clean with aircon and in the morning a nice continental breakfast was served, the location is perfect for exploring Catania, we hope to return to Catania in the future and we hope to stay in the Hotel Gresi again.

We could not fault the hotel for the price we paid and travelling for business or pleasure we stay is a range of hotels and price ranges, it may not suit everyone as its not particularly modern but as a base to explore Catania it suited us perfectly.

I booked double room (Camera Matrimoniale) for 2 guests. There is a lift in the building. The room was spacious with high ceiling, with a lobby with a desk, large bathroom, big balcony. The receptionist offered me a choice between rooms with street view and backyard view and this made me a very good inpression. I have chosen the street view and it was not noisy at all. The location of the hotel is very good, The style of the furniture was old (maybe 50-60 years) but it corresponded very well with the architecture of the building. The hotel is located in the very downtown of Catania and the entrance is only few meters for the main street Via Etnea. The reception was opened 24 hours and peaople behide desk was very friendly. The breakfast was not too big but for the price of the stay I think it was fare.

I have no remarks as price was fare.

Everything was good , The hotel is old and its furniture is old, but the room is clean and I felt comfortable and that I am with my family. Its location is beautiful as it is located between a shopping street and a street full of restaurants. The breakfast is simple, the staff is excellent and cooperative and they do their best to make your stay comfortable. The room has a refrigerator, TV and air conditioner, but there is no iron There is an elevator in the hotel, I recommend living in it because it is worth the money that I paid and I will return to it if I visit Catania again..

Nothing..

The old house has fantastic decoration inside, ceilings has frescos, very interesting. When I booked it, I had no idea about the city structure and I was surprised that it is exactly in the middle of the centre on the main street (via Aetna) with shops and cafes and even the airport bus stops 30 m from there :) Well, imagine a basically pedestrian street with quiet (electronic) buses. Room was surprisingly quite. Breakfast was OK

Well, I was just very happy with both the city and the hotel :)

Simple but clean rooms. A family staff ready to share with you suggestion of the city. Great location, close to restaurant and market areas. Just a few walk from the direct bus to the airport from Catania. Nice original painting, also oil ones, all around the hotel

If you are located right in front of the street, it can be quite noisy even at late night! Toilet are quite small in the one bed room but suitable for a couple of nights. Breakfast is simple, mainly sweet, in an italian way. Fresh "cornetto" and coffee are served directly to your table plus a small buffet is available in the room.

It has a great location close to everything. The owner is amazing. Particularly in the morning when he would serve us wonderful brioches and an amazing coffee. Very helpful with all matters and questions you have. The interior is beautiful, more a museum than a hotel. And it has a lot of interesting story to tell. Ask the owner for more.

The wifi connection is a bit weak but I will tell you what: once in a while is good to get some tech detox.

Wonderful old style hotel in superb location. Chosen because of price, value for money, location and in particular ability to check in at midday in person. Lovely to have front desk reception in person instead of impersonal self check in which is increasingly common. Room was very very clean. The house staff are obviously very thorough. Loved breakfast in the room with high ceiling and fresco. Cooling breeze from open balcony with outlook down to Mt Etna in distance. Very kind and helpful young man with some English. Appreciated. Excellent coffee Close walking distance to main historical sites. Wonderful resultants and street vibe. Main shopping street. Perhaps 20 min flat easy walk to train and bus station.

In the very center of the city. The hotel definitely has some special character - historical building, beautiful ceilings, Sicilian architecture. Helpful personnel. Good price/quality ratio. Bus stop to/from the airport is quite close.

A bit cold room. Breakfast is very Italian (basic). But croissants were very delicious. Needs some renovation.
