“Hotel Centrum has a prime spot for exploring Catania on foot, especially the Massimo Bellini Theatre and Piazza Duomo. Though the hotel has a vintage charm, some aspects, like the narrow lift, might not suit every traveler. I appreciate that the hotel provides a breakfast buffet with gluten-free options, a detail reflecting their attention to guest needs.”

fantastic location, amazing breakfast!

the location is fantastic, near the main attractions. i found really kind staff ready to help with directions. the breakfast buffet was great with so many choices. i especially appreciated the fresh pastries offered each morning.
the street noise at night was quite noticeable. it made it a little difficult to fall asleep quickly. perhaps better soundproofing would help.
