We had an excellent stay at the Dome in Catania. We were warmly greeted by our host, Nicola who gave us tips and suggestions. Our room was wonderful. The bed was cozy, the water pressure perfect and our AC felt so nice after a day out. This definitely has been one of the best stays we have experienced. We highly recommend a visit to the Dome when in Catania. Thank you so much Nicola!!!

very beautifully refurbished property on the inside, with contemporary furniture (a quirky round bed which is better in theory than in practice, especially with the air con facing it), modern bathroom (though had a bit of water leaking from the shower and insufficient storage space in the bathroom for toiletries) and very friendly staff. Need to contact the staff before arrival as they are not at the property all day, but even though we arrived early they were with us in less than 15mins. Easily walkable to all areas of interest in Catania with excellent bars and restaurant in the immediate vicinity.
Transport-wise it is a quick 15mins walk to Catania train station, and a 20min ride to the airport.

Perfect location for exploring the sites of Catania
Firstly communication with Nicola is excellent he is very responsive . Secondly the accommodation is first class. Clean, well appointed, comfortable bed with good quality bed linen , a powerful shower and nice thick towels. Considering it is located on the main road leading to the Duomo it is remarkably quiet. Breakfast was pre-ordered from an app and then delivered to the room at the appointed time. Tbh not the best and we didn’t really enjoy it. It’s a pity as it looks like they have a kitchen and dining room. Other negative for some guests is that there is no lift and all rooms are on the 2nd Floor. Would definitely recommend The Dome if you are looking for a comfortable stay in Catania. We stayed in a royal double with balcony.

The Dome is conveniently located to Catania Central Square, restaurants and shopping. Also nearby are many of the City’s attraction such as the Duomo of St Agatha, the Fish Market, ancient ruins and other historical attractions. Our room was artistically decorated and comfortable. Nicola was always available to help us with any housekeeping, transportation and any other need that arose. Very professional and very clean.

High quality and central location
Dome is in an absolutely fantastic location and our apartment felt very safe and also very quiet considering the central position. Our check in was easy and we were given some fantastic local intel from Nicola when he welcomed us to Done (his annotated map really helped us make the most of our stay!!)
The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was spotless and well kitted out.
I must say I was too short to reach a lot of the amenities in the kitchen which was quite a downside for me! The small kitchen is also lacking in a few basics like salt and pepper which was a big shame but easily remedied. The chairs in the apartment would definitely also benefit from a cushion, I found them uncomfortable and struggled to sit on them for any length of time which again is a minor issue and didn't detract from the overall quality of the room (which was fantastic).
I really cannot stress enough how fantastic the location is, and the café just by the front entrance was also a lovely find. Hugely walkable, just be aware it is up quite a few sets of stairs if you have any mobility issues at all.
