Great stay
What such a nice stay!! Great place, very clean and Gabriela was very friendly. We enjoyed the view from our balcony. I will be back for sure.

The property itself and the staff were lovely. Great communication. It is a very convenient spot right near bus terminals and train station but not a very clean area.

Train station hotel works
For a hotel next to the train station, Symposium definitely serves its purpose. Clean, modern room, great bed, and easy access with WhatsApp instructions. The inside condition is nicer than the outside. Kind attendant in the breakfast room.
RENEE, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved that it was close to the local bus station train station and main Terminal for buses to other cities. The Lido is close by too. Room we had was at the front, enjoyed seeing the sea and watching the hustle and bustle of the city. Lovely modern room with great touches. Would have liked a kettle, as we were there for a week. Pillows are poor and need to be changed for better quality ones. Nice free buffet continental breakfast.Didnt like the hand written note telling us all off for eating in our rooms!
Audrey, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

We chose this b&B because it was close to the main train ad bus station in Catania. Despite checking on Google Earth, the entrance was rather hard to find. As entry required two lock boxes, the information could helpfully have been supplied in advance. The room was OK, bathroom fine, and the bed was comfortable. Understandably, the surrounding area was a bit noisy, so I'd recommend earplugs. A little more care and attention to the rooms would be useful: towels were a little grey and there was only one bottle of water supplied. Gabrielle, who oversaw the breakfast, was lovely: all smiles and very helpful: thank you!! Overall, the B&B fitted our purpose and was good value.

Clean and comfortable
Lovely apartment. Very comfortable bed. Spotlessly clean. Great bathroom. Decent breakfast. Friendly staff. Great location directly opposite train station. Would have appreciated self check in instructions (lock box) earlier. Only received 2 hours before check in and had to turn on my roaming data to receive instructions.

The description says parking is included. The was no parking, our car got broken into. We wasted 5 hours between the police and getting a new car. If the property is not as listed, I want my money back, plus money to replace what was stolen!!!!!!

A éviter
La chambre est située dans un rond point , très très bruyant au 3eme étage sans volet ( pas d'atténuation de bruits). Le quartier n'est pas terrible du tout. Et pour le parking sans voiturier on n'est pas sur de retrouver sa voiture le lendemain. La douche est toute moisie. Le dejeuner est leger.

Ce logement est parfaitement situé à Palerme, on peut se garer facilement et laisser la voiture. Il est très bien équipé et confortable. Le petit déjeuner est bien mais sans plus, on aurait aimé avoir un peu de salé.
Thibaud, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Très bien, mais...
À savoir : il faut contacter l'hébergeur afin de connaître les modalités pour rentrer dans l'hébergement. Je n'avais pas fait attention et donc j'ai appelé l'hébergeur quand je me suis retrouvé devant la porte de l'appartement. Je suggérerai aimablement à l'hébergeur de contacter la veille les voyageurs afin de définir ces modalités, ce serait plus convivial. L'appartement à lui-même est tout neuf, une dame très sympa s'occupe des petits déjeuners. Le seul défaut c'est le bruit qui monte de la route très encombrée toute la nuit. Ne pas oublier ces bouchons d'oreille !
