Hotel Trieste

On the bus going from the Catania airport, I left a bag with my meds and insulin for my diabetes. Marco the owner of the hotel was kind enough to go to the bus station on his scooter to see if he could find it. 20 minutes later he came back with the bag. He literally saved my life. The room was spacious and comfortable and the location was fantastic, right in the center of the city, walking distance to almost all the attractions. As if Marco wasn't kind enough already, one morning we were having breakfast at the same cafe was and he paid for our breakfast. Overall Catania and the hotel was a great experience.

Marco and Chiara are exceptional hosts. The sweetest host couple of all Sicilia as far as I'm concerned. My stay at their hotel has been the BEST experience I've had in the travel accomodations I've had thus far as they only treated me with so much kindness and warmth from day 1. Prior to my arrival, I bungled up my bookings and inadvertedly gave a wrong arrival date (day prior to my actual arrival). Hence, their hotel was already full when I wanted to ammend the dates. Marco was very gracious enough to find me another hotel 20m from theirs for my extended dates! This made moving hotels a breeze for me apart from it being a very good recommendation as well, which merits another review! Hotel Trieste is in a very good location, easily accessible by foot to the different attractions of Catania. So much so that I could easily head back to rest and refresh myself and get on with my activities later on in the day/night. I looved my room that was actually very spacious for all my things with a couch and even a little balcony overlooking the streets. It had a mini-ref plus a full-sized mirror any girl will always appreciate! The hair/body/hand wash scents used in the bathroom smelled divine. Acoustics were very good because as the windows were closed, I couldn't hear the goings on outside and was left to completely relax and relish living in the essence of this historical building. The other thing I liked about the hotel is the little "terrace" upon entering the property. There was very nice music playing all the time. The breakfast area was very cozy and served both savory and sweet goodies and I always had my fill of capuchino to start the day. There is also a "self-service" laundromat just a few steps away (the owner, another warm and kind Catanian actually did the laundry for me and all I had to do was pick it up). Marco and Chiara were always very patient and readily available whenever I had queries of any kind!! So much kindness and detail has been put to make one's stay at the hotel, convenient, comfortable and very pleasurable. The staff as well were accomodating and efficient. As I extended my stay for yet another 2 days, I was also able to experience their other more recent Hotel Malía, a wee bit further from the city center yet closer to the train/bus station. Since Catania is easily walkable on foot, the location hardly mattered. Another excellent experience! The hotel is also in an old building yet the hotel is newly renovated. I had a bigger room, bigger balcony and the toilet and shower were in separate rooms (inside the room) with a full sized mirror needless to say! The highlight of the room though was the hydromassage in the shower..I could stay there forever after a long, tiring day! All the recommended restos were needless to say excellent as well. They also helped me find accomodation in Palermo as I had a hard time getting one as everything was fully booked in Sept.! Even to my last "breathe" in Catania, they also helped me book

What a nice surprise! Super little hotel, very affordable, amazing location, super friendly owner who went out of his way to make our stay perfect! Rooms have everything you need and spacious, you read reviews about the water so let me tell you my experience there: the water pressure is great, the water is very warm and did not run out! Also and importantly the hotel as a private car park which is very secure and convenient, not the case of many places in Catania. They let us park there even after we had checked out which was super nice of them!

Stayed just one night, but. I should have stayed longer. The hotel is centrally located, short walk to all attractions, restaurants and bars. MARCO, the host, is very helpful and full of information about Catania that he gives freely. The nearby streets are lively and stay up long hours at night, but the rooms are well noice insulated, so you can sleep well. But the hotel's best quality is the friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely hotel directly in the inner city of Catania. A great Host as well. Clean and steady. Great suggestions for restaurants, locations and sightseeing. We felt like home and family. All we could have ever asked for. We will come again 😄 For sure

We just returned to New Zealand from an amazing trip to Europe. At first we were concerned where the Hotel was BUT once we where in the Entrance to HOTEL TRIESTE it was a diffrent world. (we later discovered that there was a GREAT amount of work being done to restore the area [pavements and buildings]. From the moment we walked in untill 5 days later when we left ,we thorougly ENJOYED every minute of our stay. The owners were always helpful and vey friendly. Our stay was over a weekend,and the Saturday night the street thein front of the Hotel was very busy BUT once we closed our door we went to bed and fell asleep easily(minimum noise) WE WILL REURN TO SICILY IN THE SUMMER TO ENJOY THE BEACHES AND WILL FOR SURE STAY AT HOTEL TRIESTE.
