Finestra Sulla Sicilia

Easy check in as all electronic and sent codes etc by WhatsApp. No allocated parking, it’s just on the road. Area is very dirty with rubbish everywhere, which made it quite unappealing. Short walk to centre for shops and restaurants though. Rooms are on the 4th floor and no lift so you have to walk up over 80 stairs. Room itself was quite basic and small but was fine for a quick overnight stay in Catania. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom very small and basically flooded when you brush your teeth as the sink is so tiny. Jacuzzi bath in room but we didn’t use it. Switched the tap on and realised it would probably take about a week to fill up, so couldn’t be bothered. Was surprised to see behind the curtain next to it was like a utility area. General wear and tear in the room, could do with a little attention. View of Etna from the balcony if you stand up and look to the right, otherwise just views of the unappealing neighbourhood. Very confusing situation with what was included and what was chargeable in the fridge. Sign on top listed all the items in the fridge and their price, then said everything else was free but there was no ‘everything else’, just some milk. Breakfast was just cakes and croissants, not very varied or many options. Overall, not great. Glad we were only there for a night on our travels around Sicily. Positives would be it was clean, secure, quiet and we slept well.
