The hotel was located in the main street of Catania, it had a nice balcony, but it was very noise during the night. Staff was really friendly and helpful, the room was clean, but the overall building and furniture was very very old. We did not have breakfast, because making quick maths, they charge you close to 10€ per person,... More

Hotel Rubens is more a B&B than a hotel, I would say. It is located on Via Etnea, the main shopping avenue in Catania, and it will take you about 30mn to walk to the main station for the hotel (or you can take the bus - bus stops are right next to the hotel). You can see Etan from... More

We got to the hotel at 7 pm, front door was closed, nobody answered for the buzzer. We buzzed a different B&B in the same buliding. Finally 2 guys managed to reach the owner on the phone and told us that our room is not available yet! We were put in a room in that different hotel 1 floor above... More

We spent one night in Catania, had to catch an early flight out the following morning. This is a nice place and was perfect for one night. Good location for the airport bus. Good restaraunts in the area. Very clean and secure.

Stayed here for one night on 1/10/09. Paid 55 Euros per room per night including breakfast. Booked through Venere website. This was just a practical overnight stop, arriving on an evening flight and setting off to Syracusa the following morning. So we were looking for nothing special at a reasonable price in a convenient location. We were surprised by what... More

My husband and I found this hotel and we couldn't be more pleased. The hotel feels like a home away from home. The hotel owner, Salvatore, is the nicest person you will meet and he treats you just like family. He brings me an espresso every afternoon. We didn't know how many days we needed to stay here since we... More
