This is a big conference hotel with little personality. Though it is right across from the beach, they successfully built it almost completely without a view. Out the back of the hotel is a large lovely wooded park, perfect for a stroll or picnic. Through the park is the huge Auchan Hypermarket - with all the items you thought about... more

The reason why I come to Catania is business, for this reason I always like to stay close to the airport. The previous year I stayed at the Romano (see my review) so this year while booking I decided to book the hotel next to the Romano which is the NH Parco degli aragonesi. BTW I also checked the prices... more

My husband and I needed an 'airport hotel' for one night in Catania. For that purpose, this hotel is acceptable, although grossly overpriced for what it is. What astonished me are the websites that try to market the hotel to tourists. It's in a horrible area south of the city...grungy, industrial, and the beach across the highway is nothing you'd... more

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night in mid May 2006. The hotel itself is well decorated, largish rooms, polite staff. The evening meal was good with plenty of helpful staff. Breakfast was buffet style with a good range of choices. The hotel has a pleasant outdoor pool with a lifeguard. It is close to the airport but flight... more

The rooms are small... more

We stayed here for 10 days in October 2005. The hotel is situated outside of Catania in a quiet area, only one other hotel nearby and an excellent trattoria( del Sole).The hotel overlooks a lovely sandy beach- it has its own private section. The hotel is also close to Fontanarossa airport flightpath - but there did not appear to be... more

We spent one night here before we flew back to London, having dropped off our hire car at the airport that afternoon (25 Euros for a four-minute taxi ride from the airport (and back again the next morning) seemed exorbitant!). Catania was a bit of a shock after some of the places we had visited en route - the city... more

Parco Degli Aragonesi is a very nice hotel which seems to be more business oriented than tourist (nice feature of free internet access via lobby computer to touch base with friends and family back home). The hotel is located across the street from the beach and close to Catania's airport (but don't worry, noise is not a problem). It was... more
