My wife and I were extremely impressed by both the charm and quality of the bedrooms and the hotel in general and by the friendly and helpful owner/manager Signora Loredana. The hotel is located right in the middle of all the historic sights on Via Etna,the main street in Catania,with easy access by Alibus to/from the airport. An excellent breakfast is served each morning in a well appointed dining room. We both feel that this was the nicest hotel experience we had in our three week tour of Italy and @75euros nightly definitely our best value!

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Rubens. Loredana greeted us upon every arrival. She was very helpful with restaurant suggestions and making our reservations for Mt. Etna and our cab ride to the airport. She was very patient with our attempts at Italian and, when we failed, she knew a bit of English, as well! Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We were able to catch the bus to the train station within steps of the entrance to our hotel.

One of the main reasons for choosing Hotel Rubens was the location, which turned out to be excellent. Secondly, several sources (travel books, reviews etc.) suggested that the hotel was a top rated accomodation with a friendly and helpfull staff. Rubens even managed to exceed our high expectations. The delightful Signora Loredana helped us a great deal with a sudden problem that came up with our return flight. She arranged an extra night in the family`s other hotel, B&B San Micheles since Hotel Rubens was full. Without her help, we would have faced major difficulties.

El hotel estaba ubicado en una zona centrica. El dueño del hotel es un señor muy amable ( trato excelente) y con gran conocimiento de la ciudad. El desayuno es el mejor de los que hemos tomado en sicilia, con un surtido variado. Podrímos decir que es uno de los mejores hoteles en relación Calidad / Precio de los que hemos estado en Sicilia.
