Il B&B non corrisponde alle foto, probabilmente fatte diversi anni fa, e a quanto descritto nel sito. Insonorizzazione inesistente, stanza con forte odore di fumo impregnato nei tessuti e bagno, non in camera, dal quale arrivava un olezzo di fogna tale da non poter dormire. Abbiamo prenotato due notti ma la seconda abbiamo preferito passarla in una nuova struttura. Nessun rimborso offerto per il disagio e per la notte non fruita. Grazie a hotel.com per il supporto prestato. Non torneremo più in questo B&B, un vero peccato perché è in una buona posizione rispetto al centro città.

Great, safe stay for solo traveller.
The staff at the Palazzo Bruca were incredible! They were very accommodating for an earlier check in and to assist with securing me transport for a very early morning flight to Rome. The room was clean and comfortable. Access in felt safe after hours. The location was perfect in the town centre with easy access to all the historical sights and tour companies. Highly recommend!

The staff was very helpful and lovely, the room was clean and comfortable. The location was great, close to the Duomo area and lots of cafes. The only suggestion I have is for some towel bars or hooks. There were zero options to hang a damp towel, no bars, hooks, or racks. We hung them like a cape on a hanger in the armoire which wasn't ideal, but the only option.

tiny room, tiny shower that leaks to the floor like hell, internet was slow or non existing at times; terrible bed, terrible sheets and blankets, ac was not functional very well, the room was smelly, access to the hotel was through a smelly (piss) court yard. The room was smelly also... yuk... all around terrible... The only positive side is the staff. They were very nice and helpful..

It’s a bit shabby. Inconvenient to get from one part to another. Breakfast is not on the property but 1/4 mile away near the Duomo, not good if it’s raining.

We stayed for 2 nights because of the airport. The hotel is in the center of Catania, it is clean good value for the money Did not have breakfast many restaurants and shopping around the hotel. the center is dirty and full of graffiti, we did get an upgrade to the second floor because they could not find our reservation (much bigger room) . This is more like and bed and breakfast.
