We thought the cab driver had made a mistake when he dropped us off in this neighborhood. When we entered the De Curtis, we entered through what used to be an old stable, and it still looked that way. Our room was large and clean with a double bath and a small, dirty balcony.

Despite the masses of stairs, doorbell that didn't work, retarded taps and dreadful breakfast, I quite liked the room.

Stayed for 2 nights during the summer... Room was clean, well furnished and cosy. Hotel was a bit outside the city centre but near the bus and train station, which was handy. Staff were always available to provide advice on trips to Etna. Nice breakfast on the terrace.

The hotel is under complete scaffolding in what is probably the poorest, most run-down area of Catania. Step out and walk down the road for about 3 mins and you find yourself in the middle of kerb crawling area with prostitutes sitting on stools outside buildings waiting for 'custom'. On arrival we managed to miss it completely until we turned... More
