プレジデント パーク ホテル (アシ カステッロ)

Unusual place about 10km from Catania near Aci Castello, requiring a shuttle bus to travel into the nearby village, and quite an expensive taxi ride from Catania airport/train station. Appears modern, with the air of a premium hotel, but a lot of little quirks seem to let it down. Some of the service was incredibly poor and unhelpful, while other staff were really nice, and the facilities open at strange times (like the pool shutting at 7pm) or are not open at all. Lot of up to date technological aspects which are great, but also somewhat confusing, but overall the place is nicely decorated and modern. The hotel seems generally confused about what their customer base should be.

The staff was very kind and the hotel is in great infrastructure conditions. The view is amazing!

Only stayed overnight, but everything was perfect had dinner at 10pm, had a great breakfast

Neighborhood not great, you need a car for sure to move around, but nice hotel with great staff.

Overall the property is very nice and one of the best places I have stayed. First time to Sicily and could not have asked for a better place to stay in Catania. A lot of different areas within an hour drive if wanting to explore, balcony overlooking the sea, and helpful staff. Only downside I found was the shower was on the smaller side, which after visiting other hotels in Italy I would believe this is normal. Bathroom was very nice, just could use a little more room to move around in shower. Would not let this from keeping me to come back for another stay are recommending it to anyone I know.
