Katane palace
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/5/04
A great location in easy walking distance of the center of Catania. Be warned: get a good map to find it Catania can be confusing. Parking can sometimes be challenging but overall its always possible to find a place outside (with no little man waiting to rob you of 50 cents).
The hotel is clean, safe, well furnished and staffed with pleasant people. The rooms vary in size with all the things you expect from 4 stars, and for the perpetual traveller the beds are OK!
A real benefit are the reception staff - they speak very well not only in English, but also German and French. They are always ready with the right restaurant and good directions, They made my stay special.
If you want to abandon the car, walk in the center and discover Catania I`d recommend it.
