    No bar or restaurant available in the evening, as a lone female, I didn't want to go out. I fully expected a 4 star Hotel to have a full range of facilities available. Room was far too warm and I couldn't work the thermostat. No instructions. As my room overlooked the reception area, it was quite noisy when people returned in the evening.

    Clean and elegant with friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent.

    the room furniture need upkeep, possibly replacement. Bed could do without the four poster paraphernalia. Could do with a coffee machine in the room for early morning departures. Given that it rains suddenly and the front of the entrance gets a river of water, hotel could plan for a few planks for guests not to get ankle deep in water- after which drying shoes becomes a huge problem!

    location, architecture/decor of the building/house, room size, reception and staff. the bar and the bar keep Antonio was wonderful.

    stylishly restored aristocratic mansion in the heart of the old city centre

    style at the cost of functionality: the sleek bathroom lacked towel rails and the two small hooks were placed at a height fit for a basketball player as was the hairdryer. I had to stand on a chair to hang my clothes in the wardrobe! The switch to lower the blind was behind impractical bedside tables with oversized lamps and useless spaces.

    great location, friendly and helpful staff. lovely old aristocratic house sympathetically restored.

    No hot water most of the day (only warm), and the flow was very slow, my room had a mold smell (and the mold itself on the walls).

    Good breakfast, super friendly staff, great location.

    It is unacceptable that in a 4-star hotel, for 7 days, the bed linen is not changed. There were also single-use glasses in the room, and if you washed them and threw them in the trash, they were not replaced. There were no toiletries in the bathroom, except shower gel. In a word, the hotel does not meet the requirements of a 4-star hotel.

    The hotel is clean, rooms are spacious with high ceilings, staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is tasty with a wide selection of dishes. Also, the hotel is great located - within 5 mins walking distance to the main street Via Etnea and within 15 minutes walking distance to the railway station from where you can catch a train to other cities - Siracusa, Messina, Taormina etc. Really recommend this hotel.

    The room on our first night was poor. It had little light, no mobile phone signal and terrible wi-fi service. This was resolved the following morning by a room change. Warning - don’t accept room 021 !

    The manager was very good at resolving a problem with our room. On our return to Catania we decided to stay here again. It is a well located hotel for eating and touring.

    The room was very small and we could barely fit our two carry on bags No drawers to put your clothes away and as a smaller person I had to get up on a chair to hang up my clothes in the closet

    The breakfast and staff were fantastic, they have a really nice terrace to enjoy in the warmer weather The location when you walk out the doors and turn left is the San Berillo district with great bars and restaurants. If you turn right your in a seedy small red light district but we never felt unsafe.

    The location of Romano House is great! It's close to the center of town with its sights and shopping streets. There is also a very cool, somewhat hidden gem art district just around the corner. The breakfast was very delicious and had lots of options. We really enjoyed the local Granita they served for breakfast. The rooms were spacious, very clean and quiet.

    Lighting in the room was almost non-existent. The room and indeed the hotel while clearly once quite luxurious is looking a bit tired.

    We barely had WiFi reception (as well as cellular reception, but that's no fault of the hotel) in our room. We told the staff about it but it wasn't amended during our stay.

    The location is wonderful, very close to the city center and Catania's must-see attractions. Lots of great local restaurants nearby, a supermarket and pharmacies. The room itself was good, pretty spacious and quiet, It felt a bit old though, and some of the furniture should undergo maintenance.

    Catania was the dirtiest, most chaotic city I have seen in my twenty years of European travel. if you are compelled to go there, Romano House is a wonderful escape and haven.

    This was architecturally significant structure, beautifully redesigned, friendly staff, a real treat to experience. Our room was a former sitting room in an 18th century palazzo, 15 foot ceilings, with original plaster cartouches of the founding family. Love the clean, modern look of the renovated structure.

    The street is a little dark, in the edge of the center. We had to take a flight early in the morning but the officer in the reception tried to convince us to take a taxi that arrives the airport only one hour before the flight. Luckily we insisted on arriving the airport earlier, but if we hadn't we would have missed our flight.

    Breakfast was good location is pretty central staff is nice and helpful most of the time. Large and clean room.
