We had a great stay at Il Leone Blu. The B&B is immaculate and the rooms are beautifully decorated. Manuela was extremely informative and helpful, and the lady that looked after the breakfast and the rooms was lovely. Would definitely stay there again if we went back to Catania.

Poor service leads to disappointing stay
Disappointing in many respects. Check- in done by apps and phone- never met manager. Felt very impersonal. Breakfast was day before leftovers-poor selection, small amount and pastries stale. Website says airport shuttle costs€18 but hotel arranged taxi cost € 30 and my friend €40! Biggest issue was Hotels.com says pay at property but with no communication or forewarning, manager put hotel cost through on credit card used to reserve room. When I tried to have hotel charged to a different credit card, manager complained it would cost her and was too much trouble. Very poor service but room was large, clean and with windows shut, most of the noise from the bar below wasn’t heard.

Very nice room! Great location, the block looks a little sketchy but it’s totally safe and really convenient to serious touristy areas. We didn’t get to have breakfast because of an early flight, but highly recommend!

Gorgeous rooms in older building. Spacious, well appointed, beds and bath very comfortable. Fabulous high painted and decorated ceilings. Good breakfast and helpful staff. The entry way is older and plain but delight ensues as soon as you open the door to the second floor. Very helpful getting a cab for early morning flight.

Charming hidden gem in Catania
We loved our very comfortable and clean accommodations. The painted ceiling and the three balconies added such charm. Room is spacious and the bedding very comfortable. The arrival from the street was a bit rough with some construction in the entry area and lots of stairs...first impression was a little rough, but once you get up the stairs you enter the most lovely common area and unit. Location was excellent...one of our best meal in Sicily was the meal right down the road at Ristorante da Antonio! Service was attentive and helpful with our arrival and departure information. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely amazing stay, Manuela could not have been more hospitable. The room is exceptionally clean and smelt of fresh linen, we had the option of Netflix on the TV and the communal breakfast and dining area was great. Wish I could give this place 10 stars

This is a beautiful B&B. It is a great location with lots of restaurants and sights within walking distance. Manuel arranged our requested transfers. The only draw back is there is no elevator. There are stairs going up about four flights. Our driver carried our luggage up. It was a lovely place to stay! We would stay there again if we went back to Catania!

Book this place!
We had a wonderful stay in an amazing room. Book room number 1! Large and very nicely appointed with three Juliette balconies a sitting area and amazingly comfy bed. Breakfast was very good and the hotel is located within walking distance to all the historical sites and very good restaurants. (Photo is of the ceiling in our room)
