Overview

The Romano Palace Luxury Hotel offers a convenient location near Catania Airport, with many guests appreciating its proximity for pre- or post-flight stays. The hotel is also praised for its spacious rooms and pleasant pool area, with some describing the rooms as modern and others noting a more dated aesthetic. Breakfast is generally well-regarded, although some reviewers found the on-site restaurant to be overpriced and/or the food quality inconsistent. While the hotel boasts beach access, it is worth noting that taxi fares to and from the airport are reported as relatively high, and the shuttle service is infrequent, leading some to incur additional taxi costs.

We stayed one night before flying home. The condition of the hotel was overall good, the pool area and rooms was nice. The room had a descent size balcony. The button to turn up the room temperature set point on the ac control unit was broken, which lead the room temperature to on the cold side during the night. There were long black hairs in the shower and on the bathroom floor, which indicated the cleaning before we got the room had been not that thorough. When walking without socks on, we had to brush off our feet before going to bed. We expected better breakfast, considering the rating and price of the hotel. Some noise from the nearby airport is to be expected. Due to a late flight we ordered a late checkout and got an unpleasant surprise when it was time to pay. As it turned out there had been an langue misunderstanding for the late check out fee (we though 14 euro, they insisted on 40 euro), which there were not talking to the staff about. The overall feeling for the hotel is that we could have done better for a cheaper price at a lower rated hotel.

Close to the airport if looking for convenience. Parking is easy and available on site. Otherwise, the property is very dated. Dirty rooms and corridors. The food at the restaurant was terrible.

It was a clean and comfortable hotel for a night after driving at the Catania airport. Breakfast with a great view, nice spread of cheeses and more, and sparkling wine was quite lovely. We enjoyed the pizzeria for dinner.

Very outdated, very small showers for even small kids, no space in the shower to accommodate soap or shampoo. AC is a dilema (it may or it may not work as the rooms were last updated around 1980). Connecting rooms? Good luck!, it will be given to guests that logically do not need it and not to parents with small kids). On the positive side, good location (close to city center and close to the Catania airport). The pool also looked nice and well maintained, but did not use it.

Close to the airport—$25 minimum taxi fare. The room was spacious. The decorations are rather interesting, but the staff was great.

My husband and I stayed there since our flight from Catania airport was super early the next day. The service was good we asked to be moved from the first room since it was not that clean. The front desk rep. did move us no problem. However he failed to let us know that there is a way to go across the street to the beach with chairs and umbrellas. The restaurant was good and the atmosphere was good.

Convenient to the airport at Catania! Beautiful property with older decor in lobby and rooms. Limited menu in the restaurant with good presentation but average taste. High cost for airport transportation ($25).

Nicely design hotel in the park environment, Close to the Catania airport. Lunch was excellent, however grilled octopus for dinner was burned and not edible. When I complained to the restaurant manager I was told that this is a matter of opinion and I was charged for this non edible meal. My bill indicated free desert which not served. Restaurant manager ruined our good impression about this hotel.

We chose this hotel because it was close to the airport and it had easy parking. The hotel was so much better than I expected. The front desk checked us in early. Massimo was so friendly and could answer all our questions. He have us excellent directions to return our car rental. We never would have found it without his help. The room had a patio which we enjoyed very much. I would highly recommend this hotel. However the restaurant I would not recommend. It was super expensive and the food was not very good.
