excellent stay in a central location

The staff was friendly and helpful. They provided a to-go box for breakfast, which i found very convenient. the location is central (easy to walk to main attractions), and the room was super clean.
The gym felt very basic. Some equipment was broken, and there was a lack of water and mats (i would have liked a better equipped workout space).

my deluxe double room was clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable experience; it included a lavazza machine for making coffee. the towels were sparkling clean, which added to the overall positive impression (a very important detail for me).

the rooftop bar offers fantastic views of etna; it is a nice place to have a drink. an afternoon housekeeping service checks if guests need anything, such as soap, shower gel, or coffee for the machine; that was a plus.

Satisfactory hotel experience

The location proved convenient for exploring. It was EASY to walk to many attractions and restaurants. The staff was consistently attentive and helpful. The breakfast buffet had a good variety.
My room had some minor issues. The air conditioning was not as effective as I would have liked it to be. This made the room a bit too warm at times. I also found the gym equipment to be somewhat limited. It could use some updating to provide a better workout experience.
