Staff were extremely helpful
The property itself was very clean and comfortable and charming. I was just surprised that area around property was somewhat dirty. Centrum itself was very clean
Does what it says on the tin
Helpful staff
1️⃣ location very good, bus/market/landscape nearby 2️⃣ service very good, staff friendly, explain things with good patience 3️⃣ cost effective and with air-condition
Really Comfortable and Relaxing
Semplicemente le persone più gentili su questa palla di fango
Hôtel plus que parfait : très bien situé, équipements de qualité, lit très confortable et grande salle de bain. Le petit-déjeuner est excellent et très complet, sucré / salé et des produits de qualité. L'accueil du personnel est parfait. Je recommande grandement cet hôtel !
Excellent room for the price. Clean with working aircondition. Bathroom very nice, but the floor and shower was slippery when wet. Old people (as us): beware!
NOT the hotels fault, but the distance from the hotel to the garage was 2,1 km, from garage to the hotel was only 130 m The garage was narrow and cramped, BUT better than street parking
Super godt hotel med god beliggenhed ift til by og spisning
Easy walk from the station and handy for all of the things we wanted to do
L'hôtel est charmant, propre et l'équipe extrêmement accueillante. Le petit déjeuner est tres gourmand avec salé, sucré et fruits. De plus il est situé en bordure du centre historique et est calme avec ses doubles fenêtres.
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Central. Great location, good facilities, comfortable room and very friendly, helpful staff who gave us great tips on what to see and do. Highly recommended. We would happily stay again!
Exceptionally friendly staff, comfortable room, great breakfast, especially the tiramisu!
Our aircon struggled to start with but the room cooled down quickly.
Excellent bed and bathroom. Very clean and quiet. Short walk from the Alibus stop for cheap transfer from hotel.
Breakfast was OK but could have been better. Coffee not great.
Comfortable and all the staff were courteous, professional and very helpful
Location, although it was an comfortable walk to the city centre , an easy 10 minutes
Muy bien ubicado, habitación cómodo, extraordinario desayuno. Recepción siempre muy atenta y presente en todo momento.
El parking es una pequeña aventura. Cumple su función y ya.
Привітний персонал, доступність заселення вночі, смачний сніданок (не тільки солодкий) мало номерів на поверсі. Досить поруч історичний центр та близько центральна залізнична станція
מלון פשוט מיקום מרכזי קרוב לתחנת הרכבת
מלון שנותן תחושה של ריק קירות חלקים אין תמונות ארוחת בוקר קונטיננטלית גבינות ונקניקים מהמקפיא חביתיות ללא טעם היתה לנו הפסקת מים חמים ל 4 שעות אף אחד לא ידע להסביר מנהל המלון הסכים שנחפש מלון אחר
Breakfast was good and staff very helpful! Location was good also. Great place to stay!
Nothing!
La disponibilità del personale verso le esigenze e la visione dell'accoglienza nei confronti degli ospiti il punto di forza di questa struttura ricettiva.
Nulla per ciò che attiene la struttura, purtroppo è la città di Catania (tranne alcune rare zone, vedi P.za Duomo) a non essere all'altezza dell'Hotel, nonostante abbia gioielli architettonici, siti storici, di assoluto rilievo.
Good location and very nice front desk staff. Nice breakfast which owner set up early for us due to early flight.
Room temperature was on the warm side. They use air conditioning unit. We set unit on lowest temperature of 64 and probably was 75 in the room. Owner was very nice to bring fan to room which helped greatly.
La habitación es enorme. Son muy amables, están atentos a todo lo que necesites. La habitación súper limpia, incluso debajo de las camas o dentro de los armarios.
Todo perfecto
Very clean and well situated
Elevators too narrow and scary, there is no parking
Well located between the train station (anyone travelling with a trolley suitcase will curse the terrible sidewalks along the way) and the historic city centre. A bus stop to get to the airport is located even closer. Very friendly and helpful staff who also speak English! I had requested a quiet room when booking, and that is what I got. The view is at the back, so not great. But I slept really well. Otherwise, the room and bathroom are as expected: simple but neat. Good breakfast. I had already been to Catania twice before, so this became my best stay in this city.

Upon our arrival, Mrs. Paola introduced us the city on a map and explained how to move in the city and suggested places to visit. During our stay we were having a great communication. All the staff was very friendly and supportive. The location is excellent, near the city center. The main landmarks are within a walkable distance. Breakfast was very good. I recommend the hotel, we enjoyed our stay there.
Price per night could be lower.
We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at hotel Centrum. The location was excellent, close to the bars and restaurants. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable with everything you need apart from tea/coffee making facilities. The air con was excellent and having a fridge really helped, we also liked the small balcony. We staying room 401 at the back of the hotel which was good as there was no road noise. If i had to criticise the room it would be limescale on the showerhead which could have been cleaner. Beds and pillows extremely comfortable and all the staff especially reception staff were all friendly and helpful. Breakfast was decent aswell although the eggs could have been warmer but everything there to fill you up for the day. If i was going back to Catania I would definitely book the hotel centrum again, overall and excellent stay.
O hotel foi uma excelente surpresa, desde a simpatia e atenção do funcionário da recepção que nos recebeu às instalações muito boas do quarto, bem renovado e cuidado. Infelizmente o entorno nos deixou assustados e com sensação de insegurança, mas não houve qualquer problema. O entorno está em obras e pouco iluminado, mas é seguro.
O café da manhã não era muito saboroso, mas atendeu para um desjejum.
La proximité du centre
Chambre un peu bruyante
We only stayed for one night, but lady who welcomed us at property was very friendly and also gave few recommendations. Her English was perfect, which made things a lot easier too. Breakfast was nice too.
All was fine
Staff were lovely
Bed
clean , specias room, location, they were very nice to us, garage is close by, the breakfast was good,
A/C is not strong
Staff was kind and Hotel was in a pretty good location (during daytime) close to cathedral and restaurants
The location felt very dodgy at night especially as 3 women traveling. The bed was uncomfortable and the air conditioning genuinely does NOT work which was frustrating after doing so much walking and having this hotel market that there is AC. They also market having an “airport shuttle” which I had assumed would be free but when we asked about it they just called us a taxi which we then had to pay €40 for. Kind of ridiculous to be falsely advertising that. During the night we kept hearing a loud buzzing noise and we had no idea what it was from which again just didn’t make 3 women travelers comfortable. Glad we only had to be here one night.
Personale molto gentile e disponibile. Camera pulita e silenziosa. Colazione molto buona, ho trovato anche il tiramisù. Davvero un'ottima esperiennza. Lo consiglio a tutti
Personale gentile sorridente! Camera e bagno pulitissimi; solo.la prima colazione un po' scarsina; posizione abbastanza centrale anche se attualmente molti lavori in corso; comunque tornerei certamente Oretta.pierotti.cei@gmail.com
Tutto
O pequeno almoço com bolos caseiros era muito bom, o atendimento da funcionária da recepção foi muito profissional e afável.
Apesar de estar muito próximo do centro a zona não é segura. E o parque disponibilizado para os hóspedes apesar de ser perto o acesso é demorado pois a zona encontra se em obras.
We stayed there only one night but everything was very good. Stuff was very nice, found transportation to airport for us very early in the morning. Beds were big and comfortable, air conditioners worked well, there were a mini fridges in both rooms and good wi-fi. Bathrooms were big and very clean. Rooms were kinda small but it was ok for us. Location was also good, 10-15 min on foot from train station and same to city centre.
To the second floor (the first floor where the rooms are) you can get only by stairs so if you have big suitcase it can be hard but i think the staff would help.
I found this hotel in an emergency as my flight had been cancelled and the airline hadn't helped me. I am so glad I chose Hotel Centrum the staff were so lovely helpful and understanding. The room was large clean and comfortable. Breakfast excellent. The location is a short walk from the centre of Catania and the staff advised me on the route to take. Thank you hotel Centrum you made a very stressful situation much much better
Nothing
El personal de recepción, fantástico. Las 3 personas que nos atendieron fueron eficaces y muy amables. De lo mejor que me he encontrado.
Ubicación excelente y el personal muy amable y cordial, perfecto para una escapada.
We had a great stay in this lovely small hotel. It’s a short walk from the station and the centre and a great location. Staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel is clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend.
This is a great small hotel in the heart of Catania. It is walking distance from the station and the centre of the city. It’s clean and comfortable and staff are really helpful and friendly. We had a great breakfast and would definetly recommend.
Nice clean room, lovely staff, good location
Air conditioning in the room . Clean room.
That is incredibly frustrating, and you have every right to be annoyed. There is nothing worse than arriving after a long drive only to find out that "parking included" actually means "parking for a toy car"—and then being forced to waste 20 minutes driving in circles just to find a spot where a normal vehicle can actually fit.
Very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Great breakfast. Bathroom was updated with a great shower.
The beds and room itself could use an update.
La habitación un poco justa
Basic ..but enough items to choose from
No lift to 1st floor .
Personale molto gentile, centro raggiungibile a piedi in ca 10 min, camere semplici e nuove. Molto pulito.
Semplicità.
Personal molt amable, esmorzar molt bo.Ben situat habitació molt be.
Ascensor una mica precari.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Modern bathroom & comfy bed. Good central location.
The noise from traffic below throughout the night. No proper curtains, there was shutters but struggled to get them to move so lots of light coming through in the morning.
It was a charming little hotel in a good location walkable to the center of city. I came in only for one day because I needed the airport, but I could’ve stayed a little longer.
La posizione, a due passi da via Etnea. Lo staff.
Clean and comfy beds.
The AC in the rooms worked great. The lobby where the breakfast is was so hot. Like stifling.
La gentilezza e la qualità della struttura

La atención de todas las personas de recepción.
Colazione soddisfacente, in prevalenza costituita da dolci.. Posizione della struttura buona, anche se non centralissima. Il valore aggiunto è la gentilezza e disponibilità dei proprietari, soprattutto della signora. Giudizio complessivo eccellente.
.niente da migliorare...tutto ottimo.
Il personale molto gentile e disponibile La posizione molto centrale
Ljubazno osoblje!

Śniadanie było relatywnie OK, ale nie zawsze z owoców był dostępny melon. Miałem pokój od podwórza, więc choć widok z okna był słaby pokój był bardzo cichy. Pokój bardzo czysty.
Z krojonych owoców był zawsze tylko ananas. Ja bym oferował więcej: melony i arbuzy.
Dobra lokalizacja dla osób , które chcą zwiedzać . Blisko do Centrum, a także do głównego dworca autobusowego i kolejowego. Hotel kameralny. Bardzo pomocna obsługa.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location was very nice and rooms were also very nice. Breakfast was amazing.
Nothing that we did not like.
God beliggenhet, god seng og hyggelig personale.
Balkongen hadde bare en stol.
Very nice, helpful front desk staff, clean and pleasant room, and great breakfast. About a ten minute walk from the Duomo.
staff, breakfast cleanliness all was good
no lift for the first floor. I wasn't aware of this as it didnot show while i booked the hotel
A notre arrivée le plombier a dû intervenir pour que la salle de bain soit utilisable
Das Hotel liegt sehr zentrumsnah. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die tollen Mitarbeiter! Ich habe großartige Restaurant-Tipps bekommen, und der Nachtportier hat mir, da ich früh los mußte, vor der regulären Frühstückszeit einen Cappuchino gemacht und das Frühstück bereitgestellt.
Die Ausstattung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
Patrone et personnelles super sympathique tres aimable et tres a l'écoute. Je reviendrai volontiers chez vous Merci
Ventilateur de la salle de bain tres bruyant
Un hotel dragut,situat foarte aproape de centrul vechi și de toate obiectivele importante.Curatenie zilnica,mic dejun variat și gustos.Subliniez amabilitatea și profesionalismul personalului .Întreg personalul este comunicativ,atent și dispus sa ajute.Recomand cu căldură acest hotel.
Staff is awesome, always willing to assistance you. Rooms are spacious. Old building that has been renovated. Working elevator. Excellent A/C unit you can control remote. Excellent breakfast. Best coffee. It has a working safe with digital code. Walking distance to Cathedral, Fish Market.
On day one i saw a little roach in our room. IHotel was in front of the police building. Scary looking building that needs a lot of love. However, i always felt safe going in and out of the hotel.
Posizione a 10 minuti di passeggiata dal Duomo. Fermata bus per apt a 50 mt. Personale gentilissimo. Ottima struttura, consigliatissimo.
The room was old world comfortable with the stunning old fashioned windows, the a/c worked very well and the bathroom was modern exceptional. Guests of the hotel enjoy a complimentary robust breakfast with a large selection of different foods. The location is perfect for exploring the city center. The best part of Hotel Centrum is the staff! They are friendly, helpful and went above and beyond for me. When we checked in the person at the front desk pulled out a map and showed us the main piazza and the best shopping/eating streets. He also recommended 3 trattorias. We only had time to go to one of them and it was amazing, we loved the food and hospitality there. When we left and were at the airport I discovered I didn't have my passport! I panicked but fortunately after calling the hotel a staff member went right to my room and found it. The passport was dispatched to the airport immediately and I was able to make my flight! A nightmare mistake on my part turned into a minor mishap that was resolved by the conscientious and remarkable people at Hotel Centrum. I am so happy I stayed here.
disponibilità e gentilezza del personale, bagno moderno e spazioso
il parcheggio privato fai da te, il cui ingresso è fin troppo stretto, inadatto per un veicolo appena più grande di un'utilitaria
L accueil, la chambre sur 2 niveaux avec 2 pièces d'eau, le confort du lit et la petite terrasse. La pièce d'accueil qui permettait de se mettre à l'aise. Les petits déjeuners.
La lenteur et la vétusté de l'ascenseur. Le bruit des motos la nuit
Bom cafe da manha . Ótimo chuveiro
As paredes do quarto estavam sujas e com manchas
Gute Lage, mitten im Zentrum in einer Seitenstraße, sehr sauber, mit Aufzug, freundliche Mitarbeiter
Kaffee zum Frühstück war offensichtlich Instantkaffee, hat mir nicht geschmeckt
מלון מרכזי מאוד , נקי , צוות מסביר פנים שתמיד היה מוכן לעזור בשמחה .
שום דבר.
Personnel très sympathique, hôtel très propre et très accueillant.
service / cleanliness / rooms were comfortable
Loved the decor in this hotel: understated and tasteful. Nice selection at breakfast. Fresh coffee, delivered to your table - not out of a machine. Room very nice, great bathroom, great shower. Four English language TV channels - if you're interested. Convenient location, central. Easy walking to bus and train stations.
Scrambled eggs at breakfast could have been topped up more often, and kept warmer.
Die Lage ist gut, man ist schnell bei den Sehenswürdigkeiten.
Strassenlärm die ganze Nacht.
Best reception staff, so friendly and thoughtful. Gave us so many tips on what to do and which part of the city to explore on foot. We chose a small double room but it was well planned so we did not feel cramped. The ensuite was modern, with powerful water pressure, and sufficient toiletries. There was ample choice at breakfast.For an old building, the interior was fresh and comfortable. We would recommend this very strongly as a good place for short stays.
Tiny lift.

I must stay I was pleasantly surprised during my stay . The hotel clearly deserves more than 3 stars . The location is perfect to explore Catania . The rooms were perfectly clean and breakfast was also great . Staff was truly available and helpful
Maybe adding some tea and kettle in the room
Todo en general. Habitación bien de tamaño. Insonorizada no se oye ruido exterior. Muy limpio. Buen desayuno. Personal amable y muy buena ubicación.
Nada
Excellent rapport qualité prix ++. L'accueil parle français, les chambres ne sont pas grandes, mais propres, bien équipées, salles de bains rénovés pour ma chambre. Bruits de la ville jusqu'à 23h, 24h. Tres bien situé pour visiter la ville ++ et petit déjeuner excellent avec produits frais.
Le côté un peu ancien de l'hôtel mais est-ce un défaut ? : beaucoup de charme, celui d'avoir l'impression d'arriver et dormir dans un logement familial.
das sehr freundliche personal, die individuelle betreuung! die lage ist perfekt für sightseeing zu fuss!
gibt es nichts!
Accueil sympathique d'une dame parlant très bien le Français
Bruyant du fait de travaux à proximité
Super hotel zlokalizowany w centrum miasta. Bardzo pomocny personel. Przepyszne śniadania, zwłaszcza kawa cappuccino i sok ze świeżo wyciskanych pomarańczy. Dodatkowym atutem możliwość wynajęcia prywatnego garażu, przez co nie było problemu z parkowaniem auta na ulicy. Polecam.
Stayed 6 nights at Hotel Centrum. We found it suited our needs to explore both Catania and using the transport system to go further afield. The room was a good size with a modern bathroom, and even though we had a road facing room with building work going on but were not disturbed. Breakfast was good. All staff, especially the people on reception were really helpful and pleasant. Would recommend.
super cute but even more wonderful staff!
n/a
Staff are all so friendly and helpful. Breakfast is lovely with a variety of choices. Coffee is excellent. Room is good size with lovely bathroom, comfortable bed and high quality bedding.
Not their fault but the surrounding streets are noisy, dirty and lots of roadworks making it difficult to walk.
Hôtel bien situé en centre ville, proche des principales attractions touristiques. Malheureusement, de nombreux travaux de voirie ou d'immeubles voisins occasionnent actuellement du bruit en journée. Le personnel est très accueillant et serviable. Le petit déjeuner est copieux avec un grand choix de spécialités. Notre chambre, en duplex, était spacieuse et confortable.
Nous n'avons pas de remarques négatives à faire.
