Considering what we paid to stay here (79 euro per night for a quad!!) this hotel is a gem. The room that we had,was large and comfortable, the bathroom new and clean and we slept very well. Location wise it's perfect, as it's a few steps away from the Piazza and there are many restaurants in walking distance. You can not ask for a better hotel for the price we paid, we were pleasantly surprised.

Il Principe is in a great, buzzy central location and it has an agreeable, slightly individual feel as you arrive. The room was pretty good, even if the air con was a bit noisy. Unfortunately the service was sub-standard. Too many surly receptionists, including the one who was quite affronted when my wife requested an iron (not available). Breakfast was pathetic - no hot food, coffee from a machine, no semi-skimmed milk and pastries that weighed your stomach down all day. When we left they found us a taxi driver who then tried to rip us off. A pity, because this could be a super place to stay with better customer care.

I stayed at the Il Principe Hotel last week for business. This is a prefect place to stay if you are on business. It is not too hard to find especially if you have a GPS but if you don't there are signs. The location is close to the centre of Catania and everything is within walking distance. The staff was professional and helpful. The rooms where nice and clean, the breakfast was perfect. Parking can be a challenge, suggest you have the staff park your car. I would recommend this hotel for your stay.

Luxury hotel just situated in the very centre of Catania easy accessable to everything. Besides being nearby to the Duomo, For Night life it is excellent, lots of bars, cafe's and pizzeria's.I highly recommend this hotel and even the staff they are very friendly and helpful and service is excellent.
