I do not normally post bad reviews on Tripadvisor but as this hotel had been given a number of good reviews I would like to give my impressions. We stayed for two nights. the receptionist on check in was very helpful and had a good command of English. On entering our non smoking room (which was spacious) we noticed a... More

We stayed twice in this hotel and the standard remained the same. The hotel is a good value for money. Room was very clean, large and pleasant. A bit noisy in the morning depending on which part of the hotel is located. Excellent breakfast with a variety of fruits and pastries. It is not very central, 10-15 min walk from... More

Taxi from airport was my first experience of the crazy driving - but it was the most suitable way to arrive at the hotel! Hotel staff pleasant and helpful, rooms clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast. Met my fellow travellers and we parked their hire car in an underground car park ( on the advice of the car hire staff) to... More

Dear 'Jasart_11' , sorry for the crazy driving in Catania: you are right, but we can't help with that. Where we can help, is trying to make our guests feel welcomed and cared for, as you acknowledged and we thank you for this. We appreciated also that you included a picture of the view of Mount Etna (though cloudy on... More

Stayed for a 3 night break 24/27 March , we decided to travel by bus from the airport using the hotel online directions and the bus tickets were only 1 euro each way ,a bit of a challenge the first time you use the bus but you soon get the hang of it . The hotel is in a reasonable... More

The Mediterraneo is up to Best Western normal high standards. It is in a quiet area and only a 10 minute walk to the main town. All the staff are efficient, helpful and polite. The breakfast is a high standard Continental Breakfast, constantly replenished. The rooms are good with a fully equipped bathroom, well maintained and cleaned properly everyday. They... More

Dear PeterWatts, we enjoyed your review and especially your last sentence: "I would be happy to stay there again". We are happy you appreciated our Staff and our services. Concerning the Air Conditioning/Heating system, we must admit that in this period of the year it is difficult to find the right balance in temperatures, as the centralized air system can... More

Fantastic 2 weeks at Hotel Mediterraneo. Front desk staff were wonderful (actually all staff we encountered were). Nothing was too much trouble. Rooms were above expectations for Europe and were spotless! Cannot see how any one would have a problem with breakfast, as there was enough selection for every palate (loved the fresh orange juice and fresh boiled eggs, ohh... More

What you wrote, dear guest, is especially important for us because you spent 15 days with us. In such a case you learn to know us better and, as a result, we are glad to learn that your final impression was very positive. We also read that you appreciated our breakfast service. Of course we cannot always please everybody but,... More

We were in this hotel for work. I can say without hesitation that hey were very helpful in many situations, i.e. translation, directions and recommendations for dining areas. They were most helpful in serving breakfast at very early morning hours to accomodate us. This was very much appreciated. Parking for larger vehicles such as a van is a bit challinging... More

Parking is really hard to find, but it will be the same wherever you go. So just be aware and try to plan in advance to get a parking space. we ended up finding one at about 5-10 minutes walk from there, a little inconvenient but better than nothing. The way to the parking is also confusing the first time,... More
