A luxury, boutique hotel in the center of Catania
A luxury, boutique hotel in the center of Catania that excels at service. As a frequent visitor to Catania, I have stayed at countless hotels there and this hotel has soared to the top of my list.

Wonderful artsy palace
Loved this place. Funky art-filled restored palazzo. Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious generous breakfast. Location is just off a pretty plaza, easy walking distance to the sights and restaurants. Wish we had more days here.

Los productos de tocador de gusto exquisito, la atención muy buena y el desayuno fenomenal.
Sin embargo tenían el smart TV del hotel bloqueado cosa que es bastante molesto porque no puedes conectar tu Netflix ni hacer screen mirror desde tu teléfono, estás obligado a ver televisión italiana lo cual puede ser frustrante si no hablas el idioma.

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They helped us with the parking apt. We arrived early and were check in immediately. The property is very upscale with unique art everywhere including our room. The bedroom and bathroom were very spacious. The bed was very comfortable. The amenities included a great breakfast and manager cocktail event. The building terrace on the top floor had spectacular views. We shared a bottle of wine and pizza there. The location was in the old section so it was within walking distance to all of the sites and restaurants. Parking is difficult but they had a spot for us once we arrived even though we didn't use it. Catania is a must see city and Asmondo Gisira is the place to stay.

Art Hotel of My Dreams
Amazing luxe city stay. Daphne at a check-in was so welcoming. The rooftop is to die for. Loved all the art and the history. The breakfast was able to be taken to go for my flight which we really appreciated.

Most original and cool hotel where we’ve ever stayed. The staff was top-notched, very helpful and gracious. Location was excellent—next to the food and fish markets and walking distance to lots of main sights, restaurants and shopping. We stayed the night before a planned tour and liked it so much that we returned for a night after the tour and before flight home. During the second stay we heard some noise from goings on outside, but the first night’s stay was so quiet that we overslept our check-out time! Oops. Would have loved more time to enjoy the public spaces. Highly recommended!

Great location, large room, amazing staff!
Only some music noice on Saturday night from the surrounding bars and restaurants lasted till 2 am. It’s not the hotel’s fault, but make sure to ask for earplugs if you’re staying on Saturday! Everything else was great!!

This is a very pretty hotel located steps away from the market and very near the main square. The location is ideal. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good and our room was very nice. I would definitely go back to this hotel.

There was no where to park the car when we arrived. We had to fend for ourselves, although it is a walkable area we needed to park the car and had to go searching for a spot. Not very convenient when you have a luggage
