I was brought to the fish display to pick what I wanted, and offered suggestions but I really just wanted what I wanted. I did accept their wine recommendations which was a slightly effervescent white chilled wine (half bottle). The mussels and the spigola (sea bass) were like butter! Soft, delicious, best I've had. The ricotta cake was the perfect ending to my dinner. The entire meal was fabulous and never rushed. I can't thank waitstaff Gianni & Francesco enough for their services. Highly recommended!!!!

Francesco was the kindest soul I have ever met. Due to Mt Etna erupting during our stay and cancelling all flights. We had to stay in Catania for one extra night and he ensured we could keep our room for that time. His helpfulness and kindness was not unnoticed. His associate who's name I did not get; but worked the night of July 5, was extremely helpful trying to help me find an open pharmacy to get medications as I had developed an illness and needed help. All the kindness of Hôtel Villa Romeo is never going to be forgotten by me and I will recommend to anyone staying in the area.

Rooms are modern, clean and well appointed. Slept comfortably with door open to cool Mediterranean breezes to courtyard. Parking is available on street in private gated parking lot one block away €10 per day. On street available, at own risk and is also paid, at about the same rate. Lots of good food, wine, bars, shopping, and anything else short walk. To the right of the front door does get sketchy one block away. Not scary, just not good area. Go the other way, to the left :)

This hotel does not respect your privacy ! I had a 4 night stay with a travel group I was with. First night I asked for a DO NOT DISTURB sign I can place on my door. I told the front desk I did not want room service during my stay. When I returned to my room on the second day, someone had come into my room, moved everything around, and touched everything I had. I complained to the the front desk, that my do not disturb sign was on my door and someone came in anyway. This happened 2 out of the 3 nights I was there. When I complained to the manager and the front desk, they refused to take any responsibility. They treated me like I was a complete idiot, and didn't know how to put a do not disturb sign on a door. They had every excuse, like someone walked by my room and turned the notice around. They refused to take any responsibility or offer an apology. I told them I was going to write a yelp review, and they couldn't care less.

You have to know the environment you're about to enter when you stay at a hostel. I think I just…read moreforgot. It had been over five years since my last stay in one, so this was a bit of a shock. I don't think I really have the right personality for sleeping with strangers. I had some random girl above me in a bunk-bed format (she seemed nice, but it was still too weird for me!), and there's no privacy aside from a curtain that you can put up around your bed. Unless, of course, you book a private room....which I should have done! Shared bathrooms are down the hall. For a hostel, they're quite clean and tidy. They even stock hair dryers! Many of the budget properties we stayed in this month did NOT have such lush accommodations. A light breakfast is included in the rate, but you do need to pay 2 euro to rent a towel. You'll get a locker for your belongings. Staff here was very friendly. One of the current staffers is even from Philly! Keep in mind that this hostel is situated right on the main square in Catania. You'll have beautiful views from their rooftop terrace, but you'll also deal with a crapton of noise in the middle of the night. Bring earplugs. I'd always prefer a hotel to a hostel, but if you're trying to keep to a budget, this property is a good option in Catania.

I stayed 1 night to see Mount Etna. The staff are really nice and very helpful…read more BREAKFAST It was better than other hostels by just a little bit. They offer a variety of fruits (peach, apple, etc) and small yogurt. That's all I ate. They have cereal, bread, milk, and other things. SHARED BATHROOM - The female bathroom down the hall looks a little worn down and could use some renovation. It also lacks ventilation. - After one showers, there is no where fast way for the hot air to pass through other than opening the entry door. - The curtains were cheap and do not provide full coverage. - There wasn't side chairs or enough wall hooks to put away your items. ROOM - I stayed in the 8-bed female dorm. Quite Spacious. - I like that each bunk bed comes with a 2-port USB outlet and curtain. - The beds are covered with a black plastic film. I was lucky enough to have an unoccupied single bed in the room, so I slept on that, instead of the bunk bed. (I think I was less restless than any other hostel bed I slept on within Italy) - This room has 2 balconies so you will hear noise from the busy square. - The lockers come with a keyed lock. And there are 2 shelves. - It was difficult to find a wall outlet. Not sure how many there are in the room. The roof terrace offers good views. There is a bar there. You can see part of Mount Etna. It's the highlight of the hostel. I wasn't sure if there is an elevator but you have to walk 2 or 3 levels of stairs. It's a 15-minute walk from the Catania Centrale Train station. There is a kitchen with a fridge, so I'm sure you can cook.

Catania is a place of its own. Very tense and hectic. People talk before they listen, if they…read morelisten. Normality does not exist in the way we usually describe it. Guess you have to stay here long, to really understand what happens. All this has an influence on you as a visitor. Uno Hotel is in the absolut center of Catania and it is also there you find the interesting places there are. It puts up itself as a luxurious hotel, but it is not. The facilities are very good, but the staff is disturbingly provincial, with one exception. The breakfast is not worthy a hotel of this caliber and evening dinner is poor. Among other things because there are people hanging around the tables for no reason, that you expect to find in cheeper bars or plain pubs. We hade to make some complains while staying there and they were immediately followed up by a reduction in price. Catania is a loner missing in charm. Not very easy to run a hotel even if you try.

This is not actually a review of the hotel although it is beautiful. We visited the rooftop bar in…read morethis hotel for happy hour during our visit to Catania. The hotel is located on Villa Etnea which is a main street in the City. On Villa Etnea you will find high end stores, local shops, cafes and wine bars. The rooftop bar called Café Etnea in the Una Hotel Roma. The rooftop provided a view of the city and the dining area was open to the exterior by French doors. The bar features a happy hour for 10 euro which affords you one cocktail and all you can eat of the appetizer buffet. Included in the appetizer buffet were charcuterie, marinated artichokes and olives, arancini, caponata, bruschetta, flatbreads, and quiche. Due to the unlimited buffet, this served as more than just cocktail time for us but dinner as well. You definitely can't beat this deal for an evening out in the city. The bar was beautifully decorated and provided amazing ambiance for an evening out. The staff was friendly and accommodating. And the food and drinks were good. This was a girls' night out for us but this is perfect for a date night.
