It is near metro and bus stops from airport shuttle. It might be helpful to have map on website highlighting the best route to the hotel. This is a small thing, I had such a warm welcome on arrival that the usual disorientation in a new city was overcome quickly. Whilst staying the staff team were amazingly helpful with directions. The hotel city map was particularly useful.

The staff where very welcoming and helped with recommendations of what to see. Very helpful with advice about onward travel. Prepared a lovely light lunch at the bar / restaurant area on my day of departure when I was short of time awaiting a taxi. Great breakfast with a wide range of everything and I was made pancakes on request. Very friendly and relaxed.

On edge of red light district. Turn left when you go out towards Etna street and you’ll be fine.

Comfortable room facing inner courtyard made it very quiet. Some air conditioning but as all electrical systems switch off when you take out the key it gets a bit stuffy when you’re out for the day. Great breakfast.

as one can see the ratings are all outstanding. But special thanks goes the riceptionist who welcomed us on Friday 27/4 morning and the guy who was on duty on Saturday early morning. Hope to book in the near future.

Parts of the hotel would benefit from some renovations.

The great staff made the stay so much more enjoyable. The gentleman at the front desk gave us a lot of tips about sightseeing and helped with a trip to Mount Etna. We used the bar a lot too - many thanks to Antonio who was very friendly and made the happy hour so worthwhile. We also liked the location as it was close to the metro station, lots of restaurants and the sites we wanted to visit.

The hotel Wifi signal kept falling off.

The location is minutes walk from the historic area of Catania and Stesicoro station on the metro. At the same time it is less than 15 mins walk from the main railway station. My room was very quiet and it was cleaned every day. Breakfast was extensive with cereal, fresh fruit, various breads, meat and pastries. I never left hungry ! The staff were friendly and helpful when I wanted information about the town.

Two negatives about the room. Be warned that (in our case) 3 out of the 4 available electrical sockets were at floor level under a long writing desk; to access them ,kneel or squat and then realise that you need a torch because you’re in your own light….. The towels, whilst clean and replaced promptly, were showing signs of wear and age, and reminded me of visiting elderly relatives intent on exercising financial restraint.

We had a large airy room, with a high ceiling adorned with decorative plaster work. Ample space, but sadly only one chair where there was space for two.Hotel quiet overall. Reception staff friendly and helpful. An easy walk to central streets for shopping , sightseeing and restaurants.

The short guy with the glasses in the breakfast, he was not nice and rude, on our first day at 1030 as i was still chewing ,he came very dramatically and said: breakfast is over you need to leave. - like that ,no sorry or just letting us stay till we finish while stop serving, really wired and unpleasant person,

Great location and lovely personell in the reception. Breakfast was super good and lots of options to choose from. Room was clean

While the street outside was a tad lively, it was a small price to pay for being in the vibrant heart of the city center.

Nice hotel, not far from the Courthouse (where I needed to be). Marco, the barman, was very friendly and opened the hotel bar even though he had just closed it, to serve me with a glass of wine. My room boasted a soaring ceiling adorned with exquisite décor, while its furnishings exuded an air of elegance. Breakfast had some local specialties that are worth returning to this hotel for!

A good hotel, modern and functional. Had a room on two levels (bedroom downstairs, living and bathroom upstairs) and a big balcony towards the street. Rich and varied breakfast buffet.

I was worried about the location, the street where the hotel is located is not great, but in fact, no complaints...

Helpful and kindly staff.

Unfortunately I could not sleep at all because of the noise from the street so I felt really ill the next day. It’s the centre of Catania and almost New Year so some noise can be expected however even with ear plugs the yelling and explosions were really loud all night.

Everything at Romano house is of the highest standard, the building is impressive, the room a really great size. The staff is amazing, welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast rich and delicious.
