B&B Palazzo Bruca Catania0

We stayed here for 2 nights, the first night in the junior suite and the second night in a double room with private external bathroom (due to availability of rooms). The junior suite was great, very very spacious, the double room was a bit small, not much space to move around the bed. The external private bathroom of the double room was right across the room, so it wasn’t a problem. Clean accommodation. The location is amazing, literally 2 minutes away from the heart of the city. The inner courtyard has an old nice charm. The double room had a great long balcony, facing directly a piazza, with a nice view. Breakfast consisted in a pastry and coffee/tea at a nice coffee shop right in the Piazza del Duomo. Nice personnel. Would stay here again if back to Catania.

The walls are quite thin, we could hear other guests talking in the other rooms.

I liked greatly the nobility of the place, the yard has a special charm, the location was absolutely great, the room view, the balcony, notorious atmosphere. The room and the bathroom were comfortable and clean.

The walls are extremely thin (at least in our room). We had to listen the conversations and the sex our neighbors were having in very intimate details. We had to get up really early to catch a flight, but as much as I tried I could not sleep, because the noise was extreme. Plus they didn't have a bathroom, so they were constantly going in and out of the room through the night jingling with those keys and banging doors all time.

Room with Jacuzzi was literally amazing! Very big and comfortable, located in the heart of city just few steps from the main square and from bus station from which you can easily reach airport and beach. There was everything we needed to enjoy our last night of our Sicilian roadtrip and we could not have been more happier. Jacuzzi right in the room was really great experience to just chill after all the traveling and walking. On the other hand, Breakfast was not so worth it since for 3€ you just receive a coffee and 1 piece of croissant (or some other type of thing), for this amazing accommodation we would like to have better breakfast with various food but we understand that the accommodation itself does not have facilities to provide breakfast on their own so they have to cooperate with nearby pasticceria.

Perfect location for a short stay, right in the centre for Teatro Greco, Duomo square, shops & easy to reach the bus station. I arranged the shuttle transfer & Elvis was at the airport so I arrived in no time.... Great service! Very comfortable room, great view & a hospitality tray too, always a good thing. I would definitely recommend .

The only problem for me was the key to reception, which was very awkward to use, given how good everything else was, it's a small niggle.

Perfect location steps away from the main square, with parking (eur 10 a night) in the courtyard. Staff was very helpful. Rooms were spacious, bathroom was modern. Loved the balconies.

Beware the floors are very cold. The apartment is set up so that you walk from the hallway and bathroom through one bedroom, then the living room amd then another bedroom, all in a line. So those sleeping in the last bedroom have to walk through the first bedroom in order to go to the bathroom (or outside). Not a huge problem for us, but it's good to mention.

Great location in the center of Catania with every place of interest within walking distance. The apartment is really big with classical Italian style furniture. Parking available inside which was really useful for us.

All was good. Maybe just to pint the being located in the center some of the rooms might be noisy so other guests should be prepared for this.

Helpful staff at reception. Lovely clean, spacious, nicely decorated room with view of Via Vittorio Emmanuele from the balcony, saw religious procession going by. 2 steps to main, square, cathedral and Fontana del Elefante. Lift to upper floors a bonus! Big enclosed courtyard for parking. Easy drive from airport (not quite so straightforward going back due to one way system) Good soundproofing with triple opening windows, shutters and doors. Easy access by airport shuttle bus.

Nothing, all was good.

The location of this property is amazing. You are 1 minute away from the main square and everything is within walking distance. The airport is 11 mins taxi and cost €20 via Uber. We must have had a free upgrade as we ended up in a suite and it was huge! Amazing facilities and such friendly staff who immediately got a map out and circled the places to go and see for us without us even asking. Could not fault this property and would stay again in a heart beat.

Nothing, everything was great!

The location was amazing, right next to the Piazza Duomo, and with secure car parking......! Large airy room with big 2 person Jacuzzi... Had a lift also, so didn't have to manage the stairs...

The bathroom was a little small, but perfectly clean and usable....

- The best location, 1 min to the city center square (no ZTL) - Convenient and easy to reach and use parking slots - Friendly and helpful stuff - clean and big rooms - good wifi For 1-2 nights it works well. The next time in Catania we'll stay at this hotel again. We needed to leave at 5AM and therefore to wake up at 4AM, so I used jacuzzi for 10 minutes at midnight and afterwards slept like a baby. Not sure I would stay longer than 2 nights because of the bed quality and noise.

- The bed and its mattress should be replaced. The bed is a bit short and there are pits which spoil comport during sleeping. - Jacuzzi water controls should be fixed, I needed to master a special skill to manage hot / cold water. - A bit noisy due to old doors.
