Hotels Near Lido Bikini Beach in Catania

The hotel is clean and normal but there is no logic. First of all, I am sorry for the workers in the bar and restaurant. We stayed for 2 nights, and the same staff worked all the time, in the morning and in the evening also. Thats hard! So, there is a pool what you can use only between 10.00 a.m. - 18.00 p.m. I mean, why? If you travel to the downtown for sightseeing, than you cant use the pool in the morning nor in the late afternoon or evening... nonsense. You have to pay more if you want to use the spa. The hotel has a restaurant named ”Pizzeria” but there is no pizza at all :D In the second night there was a fire alarm around 2 a.m., but there was no fire anywhere, only the workers suffered something. The staff are nice and helpful.

Amazing apartment! Beautifully restored, spacious, quiet, centrally located and comfortable. Incredible breakfast from the local deli delivered outside on the trolley - amazing choice. No expense spared with a quality mattress and bedding. Fully air conditioned so really confortable in the Scilian heat! So many restaurants within a stone's throw of the apartment. Nicole is so helpful explaining the history of the apartment and full of recommendations on places to vist!

The apartments are located in the center, near a bunch of cafes, restaurants and shops. parking is about 15 minutes walk, costs 20 euros a day. The rooms are small, clean, modern. Breakfasts are nominally eaten, but there is nothing in fact, tea and biscuits. There is a refrigerator in the kitchen.

The most satisfying hotel on this trip, room, breakfast, swimming pool, beach, beautiful scenery. I would also like to thank the Uber driver. The flight was delayed and we arrived at 3am. The taxi charges 50, but Uber only charges 38. The driver was very enthusiastic and used translation software to chat throughout the whole process, 👍🏻

The breakfast was very good and the restaurant had a nice view by the pool. But there is no airport shuttle bus.... can help to call the car to the airport 25 euros do not hit the table. The room facilities are also very old, although there is a balcony, but the balcony is facing the computer room....... The waiter attitude is OK.

We needed a hotel room close to Catania’s airport because we had an early morning flight. I was reluctant to book at this hotel because it got horrible reviews. I took a chance and we were pleasantly surprised! The hotel is reasonably priced, the rooms are clean and it’s really close to the airport! They have free shuttle service to and from the airport. We needed a 5am shuttle and they were right on time! We were scared to eat there after all the negative reviews, but the food and wine was great! They had a friendly staff and provided great personal service! We both had delicious pasta dishes and actually all the food looked good! The only negative was the look of the hotel outside. They clearly need to fix up the property on the outside, but I’d prefer a clean room and a good dinner! Don’t listen to all the bad reviews, this hotel is perfect for a one night stay before or after a flight!

What I liked: - The hotel boasts two lovely pools. - The on-site restaurant serves some of the best food I've had in the area, though it is pricey. - Breakfast is simple yet delicious, featuring eggs, frankfurts, bacon, cheese, pastries, fruit, juices, and wonderful coffee. - You are allowed to enjoy drinks by the pool. - 90% of the staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. - Free parking is available on site. What I disliked: - The room's air conditioning was not adjustable and only blew in one direction, making both the bathroom and bedroom uncomfortably warm. - I had to sleep on the pullout sofa as the bedroom was too hot. Thankfully, the sofa was available; otherwise, I don't know what I would have done. - The spa seemed expensive for a hot tub and sauna, so I didn't use it and can't comment on its quality. - There is an incredible rooftop with views of the bay and Mt. Etna that goes unused, which feels like a wasted space. - The location is very remote, situated in a residential area with nothing within walking distance except for two restaurants and a golf club affiliated with the hotel. - While you can walk to the bay, there are no pathways and the return trip is steep and uphill. - The hotel provides taxis, but they are quite costly. - There is an extra charge to use the kitchenette, which was not communicated beforehand. Additionally, no tea or coffee replacements were provided, which is unusual for a hotel of this caliber. **Tips:** - If you are checking in past 10:30 PM, be sure to call the hotel to ensure someone will be available to check you in. - Renting a car is essential for getting around, as without one, your travel options will be limited and expensive. - This hotel is perfect if you want to relax by the pool and do occasional excursions. However, if you're looking for more activities, you may find the location too remote.

We stayed for three nights as we were attending a wedding locally. The hotel was lovely and the staff were first class. Everyone was very helpful and extremely friendly. Unfortunately the pool and spa area were out of action but it didn't matter as we spent time outside around the pool. The barman was also very friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks he served. I would definitely recommend the hotel for a short visit as there isn't much to do locally
