As a single female traveler, I wanted a hotel that was safe. I got that and so much more with the Liberty Hotel! Before my trip, the front desk staff, Antonino Savarino arranged transport from the airport to the hotel. Not having to manage taxi after more than 24 hours of travel was a gift. The hotel itself is in a lively neighborhood that could look a bit scary to some but if you are used to urban life, you see the tell tale signs of good people going about their daily business - families, students, young and old. Once I entered the beautiful (really, BEAUTIFUL) hotel, I was welcomed so graciously and shown to my lovely room that looked out unto a little courtyard. I unpacked and went back out to the front desk to ask for recommendations for a lunch spot. I was immediately helped with map and several recommendations which I took for lunch and dinner. Both restaurants had delicious meals at reasonable prices with lots of local clients within walking distance. The room itself was really lovely, comfortable, quiet, very clean, safe and Instagram worthy! The details in the room had old world charm and I couldn't stop photographing - even the ceiling! Breakfast was perfect with a variety of breads, cheeses, yogurt, meats, jams, treats and of course, the Italian coffee that I am still dreaming about. One morning, I had the breakfast area to myself while the next was full with a Rick Steve's tour. Both times, staff was very attentive and food replenished. The table settings were beautiful too. Staff helped me on so many occasions - recommendations for restaurants, directions to town, transport, where to buys stamps, bottled water and even a head's up on a festival in town that I would have missed without knowing. Once I wished in passing for some ice and the next thing I knew, someone came to my door with a bucket of ice! I travel quite a bit and the attention to the client's needs is much appreciated. It is evident that staff wants to please. Two of my girlfriends joined me later in the week, did NOT stay at the hotel and the staff was kind enough to arrange transport for them to come from the airport to the hotel and then drop us off at our airbnb. I cannot say enough good about this hotel and it's staff. Do not hesitate to stay at this hotel. It is a gem in Catania!
Very nice old-fashioned hotel and an oasis of serenity and calm. Very helpful and nice staff. Good Italian breakfast. Spacious room with high ceiling. Yes, location is not that great but authentic Catania with easy access, i.e. short walk to main city centre, sights and restaurants.
From the moment I stepped into the lobby area of the hotel I felt welcomed. The public area beautifully furnished in an elegant style. The garden outside, draped in fragrant jasmine, a little oasis after walking around the city. My bedroom roomy and comfortable. The bathroom nicely appointed. I loved the tile in the bathroom. The high ceiling bedroom with stenciling around the top of the walls and at chair railing height. The breakfast buffet included cheeses, pastries, meats, juices and I could also order eggs or other fresh juices. The staff was helpful for walking the city suggestions and dinner.
The Liberty Hotel is named after the "liberty era" type furnishings. This is a beautiful, charming, romantic, eclectic property that takes you back in time. From the moment you check in, your senses are excited as you take in the attention to interior detail and the aroma of jasmine that covers an arbor making shading an exterior public area. We stayed in suite 203, which had a private veranda, living area with dining table, large bedroom and charming tiled bath. Convenient to the historical center of town, you can reach many destinations on foot. While all the staff was excellent, honorable mention must go to Silvio, who prides himself in providing they highest level of service possible, anticipating your desires before you even think them. We had a medical need during our visit. Not only did Silvio schedule an immediate Doctor visit on site, he acted as translator, proving his commitment to his customer is his most significant priority. His time management skills are unparalleled. Hat's off to Silvio and the entire staff! If I had to say anything negative about the property, it would be that the bed matress was a bit firm for my liking. I highly recommend the Liberty Hotel!
The bedrooms are very roomy and staff are great. The staff go above and beyond with recommendations, calling to make reservations for us in italian (i only speak english), and even providing info on where the best places to go on my runs solo. The hotel is near the elephant square, but just enough far away (5-10 minute walk) that you dont see too many tourists. I was unsure at first of the location of this hotel, but it is safe and people keep to themselves. The rooms are beautifully decorated and there is a small courtyard outside where you can eat breakfast, have a glass of wine, read. The couryard is covered in a vine with sweet flower scent. It is glorious and relaxing. Also, the breakfast is very good. It includes bread, meats, sweets, any type of coffee you want, yogert, cereal and eggs at request for a small charge. I usually ate a large breakfast and the this would carry me to dinner easily. Would stay here again!
