About this place Palace Catania | UNA Esperienze

Palace Catania is a large upscale hotel on Via Etnea, the long main street that runs north from the cathedral square toward Mount Etna. It belongs to the Italian UNA Hospitality group (UNA Esperienze line) and is a mainstream, gay-friendly hotel, not a gay venue. It has a rooftop terrace bar with views toward the volcano. The Villa Bellini gardens are a few minutes' walk away and the cathedral and fish market about 20 minutes on foot down Via Etnea. Over 1,700 Google reviews average 4.5 stars. Book a room facing away from the street if you are a light sleeper; Via Etnea stays busy into the evening.

Room was nice with large bathroom, tub and large separate shower. Really nice roof-top bar/restaurant. Kind of beyond hotel's control, but our one night was a disaster as a group of young folks stayed out drinking, hollering, etc. on the street right in front of the hotel. I was going down to the desk to complain and ask them to call police (yes, it was obnoxiously loud and kept us awake) when I saw a police car pull up to the crowd. Crowd finally splits up and it gets quiet at 3:00 am! Loud noise since before midnight and I'd have expected the hotel to take some steps to address this much earlier. So, just know the location is near several bars and squares where public events are held (and can spill over when they're over).

The perfect location for visiting Catania. Rooms are not large, but clean and reasonably equipped.
