We booked a balcony room, the “balcony” was barely bigger than the size of my foot, not worth the upgrade at all. The room was clean and got cleaned daily. A little sketchy checking in as you need to go through 3 locked doors (unlocked with a key fob) an elevator with a key code, and then a normal key to get into your room. Much, much different than a hotel. With that being said, the staff was super friendly and nice and the owner did give us some really good recommendations for places to eat during our stay.
The place didn’t look like the pictures at all. Our room didn’t have windows. Only windows on the ceiling. The whole place smelled like sewage after 2nd day. First day the room and hallways smelled like pesticide. The shower temperature and flow weren’t stable and the elevator was very outdated. We were scared every time we used it. The only good things about the place was the location and the fact that the receptionist was very nice and helpful.

Neue Zimmer in altem Palazzoambiente
Checkt man nach 19 Uhr ein, lassen sich die Zugänge mit den über e-mail erhaltenen Codes öffnen. Über Innenhof und Lift gelangt man in den obersten Stock, wo sich die Rezeption und die 6 total renovierten Zimmer befinden: modern, komfortabel, ruhig! Habe den Aufenthalt und die Gegensätze sehr genossen.

Wonderful stay in very clean and stylish, brand new and young B&B suites, complemented by a very friendly and relaxing atmosphere by the hosts and personnel. Very close to the city center of Catania, surrounded by lots of possible visit places. The suite was in perfect condition, very brightfully decorated enabling very welcome balance between work and relaxing during a work related stay. Breakfast was very healthy and wealthy, very cosy and friendly with other international guests... I am convinced I discovered a new "perla di Catania"!

B&B excelente. Personal súper amable, desayuno bueno, con fiambre, pastelería y fruta. Se encuentra en un tercer piso sin ascensor, pero disponen de un montacargas para las maletas. No es hotel por lo que no dispone de esos servicios. Recomendable y muy céntrico

Ci siamo trovati molto bene a Catania, gente coordiale e accogliente, ci siamo sentiti a proprio agio al primo impatto. Penalizzante la mancanza di un ascensore in una struttura del genere.

Clean, comfortable and very convenient
We stayed at Palazzo Sisto for the final two days of our holiday in Sicily. As the name suggests the accommodation is contained within part of a former Palazzo, very conveniently located in the centre of Catania. Palazzo Sisto is on the top floor and accessed via numerous flights of a grand marble staircase, whilst your luggage is hoisted from the courtyard below. We were met by a vivacious receptionist who was very helpful. The rooms are modern, well equipped and immaculately presented. Parking is a bit of an issue. For security reasons we elected to use the secure parking recommended at 15 euro per night. On reflection it would have been better to return the car to the airport two days earlier. Breakfast is from 8:30 until 10:00 with a very good selection of sweet and savoury choices. There was no breakfast provided on the second day as we needed to leave by 07:30 to retrieve the car, load the luggage and fill up with fuel before arriving at the airport. We were unable to use vouchers provided for a local cafe as this would have required an even earlier start. The food at the nearby restaurant Trattoria Giglio Rosso was excellent, the house wine probably best avoided. Overall we would highly recommend Palazzo Sisto, although we should have clarified the parking situation before we booked.
