Reviews and Ratings
I had a great experience at this hotel, set on an active volcano with incredible views over Catania. The rooms offered stunning vistas and were equipped with efficient air conditioning. The service was friendly and accommodating, with staff willing to meet my requests. However, the dining options could use some improvement as they were limited. Overall, the location is fantastic, especially for those wanting to explore Mount Etna, but I wish the dining experience had been a bit better.
The hotel is situated in an excellent location, just next to the cable car and very close to the volcano, making it perfect for adventurous outings. The rooms offered a stunning view over Catania and were really comfortable, though the service could have been a bit more attentive. Overall, it's a great deal, especially for its proximity to the cable car, but I did wish for a bit more from the service aspect.
The hotel is perfectly located, just a stone's throw from the cable car that takes you to Etna, making it super convenient for exploring. The rooms are quite comfy and feature stunning views over Catania. The service was always friendly and attentive, which made my stay more enjoyable. One downside was that breakfast could use a bit more variety, but overall, it was a decent value for the price.
The hotel has a great location right next to the cable car to ETNA, making it fun and convenient for exploring the volcano.
