NH Catania Parco Degli Aragonesi Hotel

Hotel's proximity to the airport was why we chose this hotel despite reading all the negative reviews from other guests. We expected way less than average because of the things we read but we were actually satisfied by the service when we got there. The staff were all friendly, pleasant and helpful. The room was very comfortable, the bathroom was well-equipped, and they provided the basic amenities. Only con I can say is that the restaurant's menu was limited and pricey. We had to stay in that night coz of bad weather so we had no other choice than dine here.

I stayed at this hotel with my husband for 2 weeks a couple of months ago. The rooms are fine and well serviced but could do with a bit of a spruce up. Breakfast is very good with a good choice but they evidently don't understand what bacon and eggs should be like for my English husband. Just slimy and greasy pancetta instead of bacon. Otherwise it was a nice hotel and the little beach across the road was something of a boon. Alot of people have complained about the erratic bus service. This is correct. I made friends with the lovely local traffic wardens who explained that the local council has cut the services by 75 percent due to lack of central government funding. I would recommend this hotel for a business traveller and for older guests for a holiday if you are prepared for spending quite a lot on taxis. It is definitely going up Etna on an excursion from Catania.
