Hotel Manganelli Palace

Great Location! Very near to Stesicoro Metro Station, Via Etnea, marketplace etc. All the staff of each shift was very helpful and kind! 24hrs Reception desk which promptly opens the front electric door. There was always a nice welcoming smell as you enter the common area. The Breakfast is greatly assorted and the Bar tender was also very helpful and kind.

The property is on the 4th floor of a building with only 1 lift to go up. There were times that we had to wait the lift to go up with guests and then call it again down for our turn. But all in all, it is not a deal breaker. The lift was always operational and we never had to use the stairs.

We had a short stay in Catania; Hotel Manganelli is in the perfect location for sightseeing if you don't have much time. The building doesn't look wonderful from the outside but as they say don't judge book by it's cover. It's not luxurious but perfectly good & comfortable place to base yourself. Lovely to have breakfast on rooftop; breakfast options were good. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful ; even helping to looking for exploring options for spaces on a trip to Etna for us also! We upgraded to room with balcony - it was spacious & toilet lovely but the balcony was really just a 'Juliet balcony' & not enough space to sit on it. But enjoyed the view of the area/road outside; you could hear traffic but didn't really bother us, wasn't excessive. It had fabulous big wooden shutters on the window too.

Very friendly and helpful staff, with our special thanks to Sonia and her initial welcome and help. Nice breakfast, that can be enjoyed on the terrace with view to the smoking Etna volcano, and with excellent on demand expresso. Hotel located very close to the heart of Catania and most of the sights (next to Via Etnea) made walking to the must sees easy. Having a bookable interior parking spot in the yard was perfect, as parking in Catania is hard. The rooms were nice, renovated, with a good size, very confortable beds, nice A/C and a computer sized safe. The bathroom was also large and modern. Also enjoyable is the fact that the hotel is in the upper floors of an historical palazzo.

The two elevator arrangement was a minor inconvenience, but made the hotel peculiar (a positive). The street outside is a bit run down (not the hotel's fault), but you will find that inside everything is nice and clean.

The palace is very well located. (3&4 th floors of a beautiful building) . The elevator worked well. My room 136 was very calm with a view on a garden, and spacious. The bathroom was big and clean ( no window). The sheets and the room was clean. There was a strong AC in the room, The staff ( night shift and day shift) was EXTREMELY professional, kind, helpful, spoke English, ... we had to leave at 4:00 AM, they ordered a taxi for us, kindly prepared us coffee...the price is fair. The towels were clean,the shower worked very well ( pressure, hot, etc...) Soap and liquid soap available for the clients . Very nice entrance, lobby...the furniture in the room was " antic" style. The bed was amazing! King size and very comfy

There was a strong smell in the room, as if it was closed for a while ( maybe corona ?) The tv was tiny but so much to do and see outdoors , so it wasn't that important for me. No nets on the window, and mosquitoes were able to reach the 3 Rd floor .

The hotel is located in the historic center of Catania, five minutes away from Piazza del Domo. Although central, and with lots of bars and restaurants nearby, it’s also in quiet area, with very little traffic noise. The breakfast is fresh and tasty, beautiful presented, and weather permitting, served on the generous roof terrace with views overlooking the city. The breakfast staff and the receptionists are all very friendly and polite. The hotel, including our room was very clean.

Not much not to like, but our “Standard Room”, although large and clean, could probably have needed some renovation: The carpets seemed worn out, and the walls in need of some fresh paint. Also; there are many levels within the hotel, so be prepared to climb a few steps here and there, including in the room itself. For us that was something we quickly got used to, but for someone with mobility issues; this could be a real challenge.

I loved everything about the hotel. It's location, room, breakfast, staff... All good restaurants, squares, touristic attractions was 300 mt from the hotel. We were 2 women and never had any fear during our stay.

The only problem that we had in the hotel was the mosquitos. Every night we woke up to hunt them. The hotel must put flynets on the windows.

Beyond expectations - 5-star service with perfect location. The hotel is in the historic centre of Catania - 5 minutes walk to the Duomo, but at the same time it is located in a quiet and clean street. Surrounded by great restaurants. It is 15 minutes walking to the bus station to Taormina and other cities. The staff provided excellent service - fast check-in and check-out, information about the city. We arrived late in the evening but they served us excellent Sicily wine on the top floor terrace. The terrace was our favourite place - 4th floor open air terrace surrounded by olive trees flower pots overlooking the adjacent old buildings. Very charming place. They also served drinks in the evenings upon request. The room we had was very comfortable and spacious, newly renovated. Highly recommend this hotel.

Everything was fine with this hotel!

Location was fab, 4 miles from airport and central to the city. Breakfast was lovely and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. Marked facilities as 9 because our air conditioning was not the best but was fab in our second room. Would definitely stay again and recommend. Thank you 😊

Air conditioning in one of our rooms wasn’t the best and switched itself off a couple of times in the night. We didn’t report this as only there 2 nights but I’m confident if we did, the staff would have done their best to resolve the issue.

Excellent location, very close to the main plazzas. Comfortable room, good bathroom. Breakfast was unexceptional but OK.

Reception in on the 4th floor and they don't always respond to a buzz to open the door at street level. Parking was inconvenient. It seems like you need to specifically reserve a space in order to ensure you get one and then it is behind a locked gate so you have to ask to get in & out. It is common to be blocked in so you have to get another car moved to get out.

It's In the center of catania just 5 mins away from the market 7 mins for elephant square , good choose of breakfast, clean rooms and comfortable, very help staff and always with the smile especially stefania at the breakfast and the also the receptionist, (sorry I forgot her name ) I will go for sure there

The only think I don't like that there wasn't a kettle in the room
