Palazzo Bruca Catania

The location was incredible. I purposely booked the cheapest room with an external bathroom. I would not do that again. We got a look at other rooms on the property and they were very nice. Larger than ours for sure. It was fantastic to have the parking in the secure courtyard as well.

We had a wonderful stay in BB Palazzo. The hotel is located literally 1 min walking from the main square of Catania where all the nice cafes and restaurants are located. From the hotel to the left,right in the corner there is a nice little cafe serving tasty lunch and breakfast. We had breakfast there every day(coffee and sandwiches are very tasty).The hotel offers secure parking (easy to park). Our room was spacious and very clean. Our room had an amazing painted ceiling like in a museum. Very impressive!The air conditioner works very good(quite and blows nice). We slept with close windows, so we didn't hear any noise from the streets. The staff is very friendly and polite. There is a vending machines with snacks, Coffee and water in the hotel (I find it very convenient). Just keep in mind:the reception is open until 8pm and if you come after you need to inform the reception and there will be an additional charge for late arrival(10 or 20 euros depends how late you arrive);:the hotel offers limited toiletries (just soap and shampoo). For us it was not a problem,we had our own toiletries We will definitely stay in this hotel for our next visit to Catania.

You can park your car inside the property but you need someone to open the door from inside (unless someone opens the main door for you). Location is great (major attractions are within walking distance).

The property is located in the historical centre of Catania, adjacent to Chiesa di San Francesco d’Assisi. 5 minutes walking to Via Pardo, the fish market, and Basilica Cattedrale di Sant'Agata. The parking lot is in the courtyard of the building and safe. An old lift takes you to the property and convenient with luggages. The room is spacey and clean.

The location was great, the room was big with a wonderful view overlooking a plaza with beautiful old buildings. The bed was very comfortable and it had a fridge and kettle which we found very useful.
