Il Leone Blue is a beautiful, charming place, specious and very comfortable bed. We absolutely loved the decor, the stylish furniture, the art, the books on history of the place, even the appliances were very cool but the most amazing are tge ceilings. When you wake up and open your eyes, you truly feel like royalty, absolutely loved it!!! Also the place is located in a heart of Catania, we walked everywhere, lots of options for dining as well. The host, Manuela, is an excellent communicator, she even sent us a video how to open the door, which was very helpful, we were able to leave our luggage after check out and she even called us a taxi to take us to the airport. It was very good experience and I would highly recommend Il Leone Blue for a stay in Catania.

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
Posted 7 Nov 2023 on HotelsDisappointing 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.

Cara Noemi Mi dispiace leggere questa tua recensione, siamo stati a completa disposizione vostra ogni momento che è stato richiesto un aiuto, ilCheck in è stato fatto a distanza perché non avete comunicato il vostro orario di arrivo e ti ricordo che hai prenotato un B&B.Il prezzo del taxi è differente perché hai chiesto una prenotazione e per la tua amica un taxi alle 4.30 del mattino e viene applicato dai taxi di catania un extra perché è notturno. I prezzi dei taxi non li decido io, io mi sono limitata a rispondere alla tua richiesta di prenotazione di un taxi. Nel sito Expidia non hanno aggiornato il prezzo del taxi che è aumentato già da 2 anni. Il pagamento della camera è stato fatto con la carta di credito che ci ha fornito il portale Expidia con cui hai fatto la prenotazione e dal momento che inserisci quella carta di credito, da regolamento, si può procedere all’ addebito. Mi hai detto solo che volevi che pagasse la tua amica, per una questione dei vostri calcoli e non per altri tipo di necessità , ma io devo addebitare la carta di credito che hai inserito che corrisponde alla prenotazione, inoltre ti ho informata che il rimborso della carta di credito mi avrebbe addebitato comunque le commissioni di transazione che avrei dovuto pagare così due volte… ti ho chiesto se fosse necessario e mi hai detto che non c’era nessun problema.La colazione viene comprata nel bar e portata all’interno del B&B e servita e come è indicato, gli avanzi vengono buttati. Mi dispiace che la nostra disponibilità in tutto non è stata gradita, vi consiglio di prenotare un hotel la prossima volta dove sono certa che troverete più varietà di colazione e dove il transfert interno di taxi vi sarebbe costato 45 euro. Ti auguro una buona serata e il consiglio è di verificare e chiedere i prezzi così da poter decidere da sola la convenienza del trasporto.

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
Posted 5 Oct 2023 on HotelsWe 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!
