Fantastic location to central Catania and visit the Roman stadium ruins. Great breakfast on the rooftop patio with views and delicious cappuccinos made by the staff. The staff at check-in also helped us park our rental car right at the property when we arrived. Spacious room and really nice to have separate twin bars for the kids.

The staff are warm and friendly. Easily walkable to major sights. Breakfast was fresh and the service was excellent. Arranged a shuttle service for us to the airport at a reasonable charge. Our room was very large for the three of us with vaulted ceilings. A/c worked very well and shower was adequate Only issue was street noise late at night from bars nearby. Would return and recommend to others.

The hotel is in a great location just down the street from the main square. It is in an older building - the pictures on the site accurately depict what it looks like. The rooms are large and clean. The staff is lovely, and the breakfast is a nice perk. The front desk is open 24/7 which makes coming and going super easy. Very close to all the main sights in Catania.

Super nice management, very helpful with any requests. About a 25 minute walk from train station. Great breakfast included. Stairs only three flights, no big whoop.

The beds were really old, like you laid in a hole. The warm water came after at least 5 minutes in the shower. The breakfast was really nice and the service during check-in was perfect.

What a wonderful place!

From we arrived to we left, we experienced nothing but smiles and helpfulness. Yes, you need to walk up a few flight of stairs, but after all the pasta we have been eating, that is no problem. From the beautifully decorated big room to the wonderful rooftop terrasse where we ate our breakfast, the Biscary hotel was an amazing experience - also located right in the middle of Catania just a few steps away from incredible restaurants. Highly recommended for a more laid back and personal Italien living experience.

Great choice

Super helpful and nice staff. Oscar was awesome - at the front desk, helping with the car and being available. Nice breakfast. Huge room. Walkable to almost everywhere. Small shops for backery and deli goods right on the msin street. Bus to the airport almost at your doorstep.

The hotel is old but clean and very convenient to all the central areas of interest. The staff was great especially Angela! She was the most helpful and friendly person I met this vacation. Always a smile and volunteered to carry our luggage (in fact insisted) up the 70 steps to the room. She helped park our rental car in the courtyard and answered all our questions. I can not remember meeting a hotel staff member this friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good and served up on a rooftop terrace. The room was simple ( we did only book a basic room) but the shower stall was very small. You could not bend over to pick something up! They had daily cleaning and 24 hour reception which was nice. This place is not for someone who doesn’t like going up and down steps as there are a lot. The tv had mainly shopping network stations and nothing in English and I was not able to hook up my Roku that I brought from home. If it wasn’t for Angela I would rate it much lower.

We had an excellent two night stay at the Hotel Biscari! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rates were reasonable and affordable. Our room was large, cleaned daily, and included a private bathroom. Breakfast was included with our stay with a traditional Italian spread offered and, best of all, was held on a rooftop terrace with nice views for a relaxing start to the day. We used taxi and public transportation, so did not experience parking options. Would certainly recommend Biscari to anyone visiting Catania!
