lobby
The Royal Hotel in Catania is perfectly situated just a short walk from the Cathedral Square. It faces via Crociferi, a 24-hour pedestrian street and the main street of the historic centre of Catania.
The Royal Hotel is the best viewpoint in Catania, from which you can watch the most important feast day in the city's calendar, the festival of Saint Agatha, Patron Saint and protector of the city. The great location, accompanied by personal and professional service, should ensure you a pleasant and memorable stay in Catania.
This elegant 4 star hotel in Catania is a beautiful example of genuine Baroque architecture from the 18th century. The hotel has maintained the style and elegance of the original building and succeeds simultaneously in offering the highest standards of quality in all of its many services. The hotel is ideally located for both business and leisure travellers, providing a perfect central point from which to explore Catania.
The restaurant is set on the beautiful terrace and serves traditional Sicilian cuisine and a great selection of local and international wines. The hotel has become a popular venue for special events, celebrations, and business meetings in its modern conference rooms.

Hotel elegante e confortevole, vicinissimo ai principali monumenti della città e collegato perfettamente alla rete dei trasporti pubblici. Bellissima la vista, dalla terrazza del ristorante, sulla strada più 'barocca' di Catania, via Crociferi. Suggestivo anche il panorama dalla camera su piazza Duomo. Le camere, curate in ogni minimo dettaglio con molto gusto, sono dotate di ogni confort. Personale gentilissimo e qualificato, estremamente disponibile. Ottima la colazione.

Well situated, though difficult to find. It's an old palace turned into hotel. Staff speak Spanish.

Our room, although nice was very cold, and overlooked the terrace area on which were held large parties everynight, making any kind of sleep impossible before 3 am.

First off, do not walk from the railway station to the hotel if you've got heavy bags. The walk will take a little while and it finishes with a very steep hill. Check in was quick and efficient, however the lift was not working and then 30 minutes later, all the power turned off for over an hour. Rooms are very nicely decorated. Large, comfortable and clean. World's smallest TV!!!! It's about a 12 inch LCD mounted on the wall opposite the bed. With the room so big, it makes it difficult to watch from bed - and the remote doesn't work from that distance. Nice breakfast in the function room. I would recommend this hotel, and easy enough to get to Catania Airport from here.

The room was lovely, the bathroom excellent. The rooftop breakfast area gorgeous, the breakfast buffet excellent. We most certainly would go back. It was our first time to Catania and we would highly recommend the city. A great place to tour out of to see that part of Sicily.

The room was excellent; comfortable, quiet and very clean. The decor was beautiful.We stayed in the Standard Double room, so I wonder how good the superior rooms are!! The staff at Reception could not have been more helpful. The Hotel was very central for all the places to visit. Everything was within a short walk, although the hotel is sited on quite a steep hill. My husband and I both look forward to staying at the Hotel Royal again next year.

Staff went above and beyond to make sure every one of our international guests felt welcome. Always traveling and stayed in all types and classes of hotels, would return and spend some quality time with my family at this one.

Our favorite hotel for the entire trip, good food and service. We wished we were staying longer in Catania, a lively city. This hotel is very difficult to find, we searched for 30 minutes following signs that led nowhere. A nice gentleman from another hotel showed us the way. It was worth the trouble, a beautiful hotel and nice people.

Unfortunately our stay was extremely brief due to departure flight times but the staff were extremely accomodating in arranging for an early 07.00am snatched breakfast. The reception were helpfull in recomending some local restaurants in an area not blessed with a lot. We would have loved to have sat out on the roof terrace cocktail bar but the October weather was against us. It's in the university area so there are quite a few good looking bars around but there is a definite scent of strange tobbaco in the air. The trouble with young italians is their love affair with spray paint and the rather grim walls of the old town have been all but covered. The museum andthe roman remains look very unloved. OK for a stop over destination but an afternoon and evening just about does it unless you need a base for Etna and the eastern seaboard.

After holidaying around Europe and experiencing different levels of customer service it was such a relief to arrive at Hotel Royal and be provided the level of service you should receive as a customer. The staff were amazing and so very helpful. I highly recommend eating at their restaurant as the level of service is nothing like we have ever experienced from a hotels restaurant. If you are coming from catania train station you may want to get a taxi or bus as it is a long walk if you have luggage.

Hotel spettacolare,ci aspettavamo di trovare un vecchio hotel con mobili antichi, invece abbiamo trovato il capolavoro della tecnologia: c'è una centralina accanto al letto con la quale puoi comandare porte luci e finestre della stanza. La tv è piccola ma con le casse a fianco al letto e nel bagno collegate il discorso cambia...l'unico inconveniente è la piccola salita da fare a piedi per raggiungerlo, ma tutto sommato se dovessi ci ritornerei.

The location and price are OK. The rooms are nicely decorated. The gym was out of service. Breakfast was supposed to start at 7:15, but at 7:20 the employees were still outside smoking their cigarette, and the breakfast room closed. We walked in with them, nothing was ready, so we just left as we were in a hurry.
