We went here for a short trip (4 days) in May of 2024. I traveled here before in 2017 but came back for a second trip! There is so much to see at this island. The hotel is located near the Catania airport so it was a short commute to the hotel, witch is perfect to spend more time enjoying yourself instead of spending it in traffic. (it can be busy around Catania) The hotel staff is very friendly, 10/10. A big shout-out to Daniel the cocktail master. Very friendly and recognize you, and remembers what you like. So if you are in for a great cocktail, let him do his thing and you will not regret it! When we where visiting they where busy with renovating the balconies. But they did a good job to close the rooms that where up for renovation. We did not have any inconvenience, and I think it is a good thing they are keeping up the building! Everything is very clean, no dust in sight. Rooms are good, not spectacular, but who spends their vacation 24/7 in a hotel room? Airconditioning etc is good, beds are perfect (ex hernia patient, no problem with this bed) When you login to the WiFi it opens a page of the hotel, you can see all the information you are looking for. For example, room-service, laundry service, prices of items in the mini-bar, time frame for the breakfast buffet, etc... Speaking of the breakfast buffet... This is why I came back here! This is so incredible. If you want to eat healthy or you like something sweet, it is all there. Also lactose free and gluten free options. Go here if you like a relaxing environment. And if you want to go to Catania or Taormina, the taxi is there in 5 minutes. (really 5 minutes, mostly quicker) Taxi to Catania, +/- 20 euro. Taxi to Taormina +/- 120 euro. Also public transport near the hotel (bus stop) for a cheaper option. But we like convenience so did everything by taxi. TIP: book an Etna tour! We will be back here for a 3rd time for sure.

Breakfast was very good. Room was spacious. Staff was incredible. We had some issues with the room and the staff were very helpful and pleasant. Both the restuarant staff and reception staff went above and beyond to make our stay pleasureable.

They should have elcectircal outlets on both sides of the bed. There was a plumbing problem and they tried to fix a few times but eventually we requested to move to another room. Location of hotel was conventinally only 10 mintutes from airport and also only 10 mintues to the town but there were no restaurants walking distance from hotel.

The facilities, and staff were wonderful. It's a wonderful place to relax, including the beach across the road. The breakfast was expansive and tasty. Thanks to all. We would recommend it if you've a stopover in Catania.

Given the location, with access to wonderful fresh fish, the restaurant/ bar menu was mediocre. The prices for food and drink seemed steep. €30 for a 4km taxi drive from the airport seemed extortionate. It would be good if the hotel sent a shuttle bus. There's a number of hotels along the strip, I'm sure they could pool together for a shuttle.

Fabulous hotel Super clean Air conditioned throughout Pool area is wonderful. Comfortable sun loungers. Towel provided. Relaxing music. Drinks service to you at your lounger or table. Chairs/sofas around pool very comfortable Pool has walk in steps so very easily accessible Private beach. Didn't visit this as pool was so nice. This was opposite across the road Room was spacious. Bed was huge. Pillows so comfortable. Gorgeous balcony area with table and two chairs Breakfast is amazing. Cereals, bread, rolls, cheese, meats, fresh fruit, yoghurt, pastries, cakes,water, juices, range of hot drinks, eggs, bacon, vegetables. Was delicious. Prosecco on offer too as well as granita which was delicious Laundry service was quick and brilliant. Reasonably priced too Staff were all exceptional and super helpful Bus stop directly in front of hotel. 10 minutes to centre of Catania If you got a taxi or uber this was around 20 euros depending where in Catania Would definitely go again to this hotel

Only just over 20 sun loungers around pool Some not fully working in terms of adjusting laying position

My husband and I stayed at NH Catania Parco degli Aragonesi for one night due to its convenient location close to the airport, and we were pleased with our choice. The hotel's proximity to the airport made our travel plans seamless and stress-free. Our room was comfortable and well-maintained, providing a relaxing environment for us to unwind after our extraordinarily long flight from Australia. Despite being near the airport, we were pleasantly surprised that we weren't affected by any airport noise and enjoyed a restful night's sleep. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast. There were many options to choose from, catering to various tastes and dietary preferences. We particularly enjoyed eating breakfast by the pool, which added a lovely touch to our morning. The staff at NH Catania Parco degli Aragonesi were friendly and welcoming, ensuring we had everything we needed during our short stay. Their hospitality contributed to our positive experience. Overall, NH Catania Parco degli Aragonesi provided a convenient and comfortable stay, perfect for travellers needing a restful night near the airport.

Given the hotels proximity to the airport it would be good if the Hotel offered a free shuttle service, or a set fee taxi service. The taxi drivers overcharged us, and it was a ridiculous the amount of Euros we were charged for the short trip to the hotel, both ways, they quote you one price when you book the taxi and charge you another price at the end. Taxi drivers take advantage because we're tourists.

We appreciated everything! The hotel is very well maintained, with one of the most helpful and polite personnel we have encountered throughout our trips. The beach is just accross the hotel, very well organized, towels available every day, with safety measures applied around the clock (access only to hotel clients, lifeguard). The room was very clean and comfy with very helpful and polite room service staff. The front desk of the hotel was extraordinary in meeting our needs, even for private demands beyond the hotel's services. The hotel is very well situated, about 10 minutes drive to the center of Catania, and a few meters away from the bus stop to town. Breakfast by the pool was lovely! Also supervided by lifeguards!

The service at the restaurant of the hotel was sometimes slower than expected for the standards of such an establishment.

Stuff was helpful. Location is good for swimming not far from the beach., have towels and umbrella ready on the beach included in the price. Room is saund proof, location is near the airport no saunds of airplanes or music from night club inside the room.

Pool area umbrella can't move a lot,in the afternoon there isn't shade I was there beginning of August.

We chose this hotel for its proximity to the airport at Catania. It is 10 minutes from here to the car hire drop off. This is a good standard business style hotel. The room at had, with balcony, was very well equipped and comfortable. Quality coffee machine and tea making facilities. We had a problem with the restaurant and the hotel staff dealt with this so well. The pool was closed when we were there for to a conference, but it looked lovely.

The hotel restaurant is run by a franchise, and it was very poor. Service was shoddy and inattentive. The food is pretentious but misses the point. There were no vegetables at all even as a garnish. No side options. It was the worst meal we had in 10 days in the island. If you can, arrange to eat elsewhere. You can all the hotel for recommendations.

I was surprised to see the photos on booking.com and reviews to exceed our expectations. Although Sicily may not be the place to rely purely on your English, staff were amazing from the reception, through the restaurant to super kind and amazing ladies who cleaned our room. I very much appreciate attention to our childern, but although there was a team building party in the meeting rooms (business area), there was no distruction to the guests. Hotel was clean, so were the rooms, hecnec I wondered about the negative reviews I read before booking. Hotel beach was super tidy and the life guards really paid attention to the guests. I was worried crossing the road to get to the beach with my little one, but traffic lights had a button to switch to green for the pedestrians and the beach was a few steps away, unilke the google map and photos suggested. Daniel who worked at the bar made the cocktail time for the kids feel like out of the fairytail, incuding the arrangement of eadible flowers in their virgin mochitos and kids loved him 😇There was a lovely Trattoria right by the beach and thanks to wonderful Roberto who spoke fluent English it was super welcoming even for those who only speak a few words in Italian. Will definitely visit again. Thank you the NH team for maling a wonderful memories for us ❤️

Everything

The pool and the beach access. The staff went above and beyond. The foyer is super clean and has great seating areas. Too bad the bar was only available by the pool, it would have been great to drink a cocktail indoors. So, if your plan is to remain within the area, you can enjoy the access to the beach or just take a break from the sand and enjoy the really nice pool. The staff from the restaurant was amazing and having drinks by the pool was great. If you hop on a Lime scooter that you can easily find parked outside the hotel area you can reach the city centre in less than 20 minutes and pay less that 5 euros instead of spending money on taxis.

Despite the great staff we encountered, the room was not cleaned up when it was given to us. Everything the former guests left behind was still there. This was definitely gross BUT, it was certainly a cleaning staff snafu. The food in the hotel was definitely overpriced, I would have not mind paying such prices if the food had a little bit more quality. Prices were similar to a famous fancy beach in central Italy.
