We really enjoyed our stay at Il Leone Blu. The location was excellent, the room was comfortable, and the service was warm and welcoming. A couple of small things could be improved: the shower cabin could be a bit bigger, and the breakfast could offer more variety. Overall, it was a very good experience and we would recommend it.

This property is lovely and the location can’t be beat for exploring Catania. It is just a few steps from Ursino castle and a couple of blocks from the amazing fish market. The room is spacious and beautiful. But what made it truly exceptional was the amazing care and hospitality of our host, Manuela. My daughter arrived before me and she looked out for her and really helped with check in and communication throughout. Highly highly recommended!

Host was so friendly and gave us many recommendations on what to do for our stay in Catania. We arrived before check in and asked to store our luggage until check in. To our surprise she got the room ready and we were able to check in early. They had breakfast every morning and coffee and water available in the lobby 24/7 which was great. The rooms were spacious and airy and very clean. I would stay here again.

Proprietaria molto premurosa e simpatica: ci ha dato ottimi consigli sui locali in cui mangiare e sulle cose da fare in città, come la visita guidata al monastero dei Benedettini di San Nicolò, ora sede dell’Università di Catania. La struttura è pulita e arredata con gusto: ci siamo trovati molto bene.

Beautiful stay in Catania!

Il Leone Blue is an amazing place to stay for a visit in Catania. The rooms are really clean and newly renovated. AC works great (and in summer is a must!). Manuela has been nice and very communicative, she got us great indications where to have dinner and explore. Catania downtown is an amazing city, beautiful and lively. Of course you have to consider that you are in an historical downtown, walking distance from everything so the parking is always sketchy and the buildings have narrow stairs you have to use to got in and out but that is also part of the experience! Definitely recommend to spend time here at "Il Leone Blue"!
