돔(Dome)

Nicola, the owner, is fabulous. He generously answered all of our questions, arranged rides for us, oriented us to the city and generally became our friend. Our room was modern and spotless. It took us a while to realize that all power sources go off once you leave the room, so one must be prepared to plug in devices when in the room! The entire building has been built with sustainability in mind. The location is perfectly centered to the Duomo and fish market. We would absolutely recommend Dome!

The facility was great once you got into the room. I wish I had been informed that there is no visible sign of a room when you are dropped off in the alley! We called the hotel and we’re greeted on the curb and led into a nondescript bldg. a little terrifying at first.

We stayed for 6 nights. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. It was nice that you could choose your breakfast from the menu to be delivered to your room. The location is really good, close to the main attractions. However, the room was not sound proof as was advertised and in fact we woke up every morning to the noise coming from the corridor. Also, the room was missing a cupboard for clothes. For hygiene, I would have liked the towels to be changed when they were left on the floor.

We spent our last night in Sicily in Catania, and we had a really lovely stay at Dome. Hidden upstairs in an old building right near the centre of town, the rooms have been done up really thoughtfully, with excellent little touches and lots of great space. The service and quality for the price is excellent, and Nicola helped us sort out parking and gave us lots of recommendations to enjoy our one night in town. Definitely recommend this place for a nice stay!

Booked a modern room with duomo view balcony (as shown in photos), but upon arrival was “upgraded” to an old apartment a few blocks away on a sketchy side street with zero views. “Breakfast” was a croissant left outside the door. Very disappointing.

Great location just off the main square and accessing Catania’s amenities and historical sites. Rooms are modern, well equiped and spotless with daily cleaning.

Thank you wonderful Nicola for another fabulous stay at Dome! This was my second stay, this time with a friend, having first visited in July with my husband. It is a sophisticated and delightfully-designed haven in the center of Catania. I will definitely return again and cannot recommend it highly enough. If you want a special b&b-style accommodation in Catania, don't even bother looking elsewhere! They also have suites, I guess for longer stays but i haven't seen them as yet!

Perfect location for exploring the sites of Catania Firstly communication with Nicola is excellent he is very responsive . Secondly the accommodation is first class. Clean, well appointed, comfortable bed with good quality bed linen , a powerful shower and nice thick towels. Considering it is located on the main road leading to the Duomo it is remarkably quiet. Breakfast was pre-ordered from an app and then delivered to the room at the appointed time. Tbh not the best and we didn’t really enjoy it. It’s a pity as it looks like they have a kitchen and dining room. Other negative for some guests is that there is no lift and all rooms are on the 2nd Floor. Would definitely recommend The Dome if you are looking for a comfortable stay in Catania. We stayed in a royal double with balcony.

Fantastic room in a great location - Nicola was very helpful with great suggestions and helping with arrangements
