Best Western Hotel Mediterraneo, Catania

Very nice staff! So helpful and accommodating Hotel is very clean and well run. Room was very comfortable. We had a car that the hotel staff would park for us and pull it out whenever we wanted. Super fast too. It was very convenient for making day trips from Catania. I would recommend this hotel.

Business style hotel in a nice location on a side street away from the main shopping street but within around 10mins easy walking distance. Coop supermarket within 5mins walk. Comfortable bedrooms, although not the largest in size. Some rooms have balconies. My room had a bathtub with a shower over, plus bidet. Bedroom windows have electric blinds but they are quite noisy so can sometimes hear when next door rooms are moving theirs. Vivid blue and yellow colour scheme in the bathroom can be a bit harsh when you're still waking up. Reasonable choice of food at breakfast- breads, pastries, cakes, yogurts, lots of fresh juices, some fresh and tinned fruit etc. Not many hot options but that's expected for Italy. Not many tables in the area where the food & drink are set for breakfast although there are other tables available in a second area beyond. Snacks are available during the day from just behind reception should you want them. Two lifts but both small. One was being worked on as our group were trying to get their luggage down to check out and other guests still going to/from breakfast, which meant a bit of a wait for that single active lift. Overall, despite a few ******* I had a great stay & would go back if I return to Catania.

Very clean Hotel, room was done on a daily basis plus towels where changed daily too. I loved the kettle with cups and free coffee sachets. All that needs adding is a few pods of milk to make a cuppa tea.Super comfortable beds and breakfast a lot to chose from. Shall stay here again.

Not quite in Catania's center, yet a very nice 15-minute stroll to Piazza del Duomo. Clean and functional room, valet parking service available, nice breakfast yet the dining room a bit too tiny. But first and foremost - all kudos go to Stefania, for her friendly and professional service as well as a charming smile.

Property was good and staff was very helpful. It was within a 10 minute walk to the Main Street via Etnea. The area around the hotel is dirty, but from what I have seen that is basically Sicily in a nutshell. Beautiful island, very nice people, lots of garbage.

It was my second time in Catania and while I like it there, it's kind of ghetto. For example, the buildings along the streets are strewn with graffiti. The area surrounding the Best Western Mediterraneo is no exception. Set up on a hill, it's 15e cab ride from the train station and 10e from Rue Etna. I walked into town in the morning. But would not do so at night. The price was right however as I wanted an inexpensive hotel centrally located with a gym (because my hotel in Taormina is expensive). The gym was adequately equipped and there was a kettle and fridge in the room. The room was clean and fresh. Breakfast was not great for a European hotel: they ran out of eggs and bacon by 9:30 each morning. Although they did make special coffees on request. It was a bit noisy from street traffic.

The walls are too thin. All day you can hear all the discussions between your neighbors or the chat between the cleaning ladies. During night you can hear your neighbors snoring or if they are watching tv you feel that you are in the same room with them. I can not recommend this hotel at all😡😡

I stayed here for 6 weeks whilst working in Catania. It’s about a 20min €25 taxi drive from the airport and a comfortable 15-20 min walk to the city centre. The rooms are comfortable and clean with a balcony, though you’re not likely to use it much - no view and noisy as the hotel is located on a mostly residential street. The air conditioner is effective, there’s coffee making facility. Aside from 1 room I stayed in during my stay the WiFi signal was very good. There’s power points by the bedside and ample storage space. There’s also Sky TV service available in English. Breakfast was acceptable even though the room itself was small and not particularly welcoming, with no natural light. The coffee is ok but better to order from the machine. I recommend trying the granita. The hotel does get very busy with tourists. There’s a good policy for recycling your rubbish with a recycling collection point on each corridor and body wash and shampoo dispensers in the bathroom. The room was cleaned daily however the coffee/tea wasn’t always replaced. I was grateful for the complimentary bottle of water and the fridge where I could store my own items. All staff were helpful and friendly especially the three main reception staff who all spoke excellent English.
