Umberto House Catania

It has a good location, you can get to important places quickly The elevator was a bit creepy at the beginning but nice The nice lady at the reception had good tips on what to look at. She spoke very good English. Breakfast was great. I would recommend it to others.

A nice B&B Hotel with a kind helpfull staff .we gad a very nice room, with a very well working air condition. Breakfast was quite good , the Coffee was very , very good. I love the furniture, and the paintings at the walls , it generated a feeling like in a Museum. The Hotel offers a Shuttle to the Airport with a very good price.

The location of the hotel is good, the staff is friendly. Wi-Fi in the hotel is poor. Breakfast good. Everything was perfect and I will highly recommand to all my friends. If we visit again Catania, we will turn back to stay to you happily

I really enjoyed staying here after contacting the hotel to arrange a transfer from the airport direct to the hotel. Some rooms face the street so they may be a little noisier than others (didn't bother me) so you may want to contact reception if you want a rear (off street) room. The rooms are over a few floors and there's a small lift if you don't like stairs.

If you are going to Catania, Sicily, a good hotel choice is Umberto House. We stayed there for seven nights in August 2021. It is in a great location with lots of shops, restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies, markets, and only half a block from Borghese Gardens—a nice refuge from the hustle and bustle. It is located on the first and second European floors of an apartment building. What sets this hotel apart is the Manager/Owner, Senior Salvatore, who himself lives in an apartment in the same building. Pride of ownership is everywhere. The place is spotless and nicely decorated. Unlike sterile hotel rooms, the décor here really make you feel like you are in a home in Italy. Senior Salvo was available 24/7 for anything. He was very helpful in securing a Covid PCR test for our return to the United States. He called the lab for us and even walked to the pharmacy to make sure that they knew about us coming. When we arrived, he patiently showed us two different rooms and let us decide which one we wanted. We chose the room on the second floor with a balcony. Although a bit noisier than the first-floor quieter room, it was large, with lots of light, a wardrobe, and plenty of desk and counter space. It even had a chandelier on the ceiling. Breakfast was included. There was a good selection of cereal, yogurt, cold cuts, cheese, varied juices, bread, Italian pastries, fresh fruit, and made to order coffee. There was a quiet patio seating area which was perfect for Covid social distancing. We will definitely return to Umberto House for our next visit to Catania.
