Katane Palace Hotel

The croissants were great and on the whole the breakfast was varied and catered for all tastes

Being British we thought the tea drinkers were not catered for: For example there was never any English breakfast tea available nor large cups available (there were only 2 mugs!!!)

Big Room, quiet (side lane), all you need for 2 days. Breakfast is a bit basic - though they had lactose free milk. But I am not there to stuff myself with breakfast specialities. Plus italy is not a breakfast country. (Croissant, Cafe is enough)

The area is a bit awkward. When leaving the hotel, the consierge advised us to walk on the main road. There are more cars. Areas in Katania often look very run down. So this lane was average. And maybe Katania as such is not such a safe place. Although, I had no personal bad experience, even when inadvertidly walking though a really poor area on the way to the bus. Overall the city is really poor, dirty and feels mismanaged (for a middle European). If one stay on the beaten tourist paths, though, you get the show that you pay for. The main streets in the center are clean, the houses facades are renovated. Inside some of them still crumble (e.g. a previous cloisture, now the state archive, with electrical cables outside the historic walls in the patio and old archive papers, obviously rotting in the light behind the window.)

The location of hotel is very good. The staff of hotel is very cooperative. The breakfast is very good there.
