Excellent location
Location is excellent, just ensure to turn left from the lobby door. The right side is “red light” district the staff said. Other than that, it’s safe and clean and very near to many great restaurants.

A cut above
After staying at many different properties at a similar price point around Sicily, Romano House stands out. Modern, comfortable, exceptionally helpful and accommodating staff, good breakfast selection. Small things you might take for granted elsewhere but aren't common in Sicily that made our stay better. Conveniently located in the city center as well. Recommended.

Maybe better if you like to party
Positives: Really nice staff. Breakfast included. Good location if you want to hit the main tourist spots. Good restaurants and shopping nearby. Buses nearby. Can walk to the train station too. Negatives: Very weird layout for a room. I felt like i was in a pre-fab house. Noise was a significant issue for me: shoes from the room above, as well as the late-night partying on the terrace. I wore earplugs. Not a good place if you are sensitive to noise, or don’t forget your earplugs.

Nice stay for a solo trip to Catania.
Clean, modern and nice hotels close to the historic district of Catania. Easy access, many attractions within walking distance. Staff were great, attentive and kind. A tour to Siracusa was sold out; however, the guy at the front desk helped me to organize a tour on my own that cost a fraction of what I would’ve paid. He printed bus schedules, and a map with the highlights I needed to see, all at my own pace.

Newer property that's basic but clean
Helpful front desk. Clean, spacious room with comfortable beds, although no virtually no decor--just beds, TV, one chair. No pictures. Shower is very nice, and everything works. Included breakfast has many selections, hot and cold. A few minutes walk from the city center. Some noise midday from construction, but not too bad.

they gave us separate rooms which they arranged the next day. The elevator broke and they forgot to put assign on the second floor. They only did it on the ground level.

The hotel is very nice but the surrounding area was just dirty, run down and it didn’t help that the red light district was a few meters down the road.

Good location, quiet. TV takes a bit to know how to use it...it wasn't easy. Had to consult with front desk on its operation. A/C worked ok. They provided a fine breakfast with good variety. Service during breakfast was good and prompt when we needed something extra.

Memorable stay in the center of Catania
It was our second stay at Hotel Romano House.
The staff Roberta and Giocomo were very welcoming.
We were upgraded to a larger room which was very appreciated.
The breakfast buffet is delicious and plentiful with a good variety of food.

An exceptional hotel in every way. Modern chic rooms in an historic building. Walkable to restaurants and historic sights. Staff went out of their way to accommodate any need or question. One of the best hotels I have stayed in for many years.
