Albergo Centrale Europa is a two-star hotel in a three-storey period building on Via Vittorio Emanuele II, directly opposite Piazza Duomo in the historic centre of Catania. The Elephant Fountain and the Cathedral of Sant'Agata stand just across the square, and many of the rooms look out over them.

Albergo Centrale Europa stands about 30 metres from Piazza Duomo, home to the Elephant Fountain and the Cathedral of Sant'Agata. Many rooms, though not all, look out over the monuments, and some have balconies facing the square. Step outside and the city's main meeting point, with its fountains, cafés and baroque façades, is right at the door.
The hotel occupies a three-storey period building in the heart of Catania's baroque centre, part of the UNESCO-listed Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto. The Pescheria fish market lies just behind the square, while the Roman Theatre and Ursino Castle are a few minutes away on foot, so most of the sights need no transport at all.
The front desk never closes, which makes late arrivals and early departures easy, and guests often mention staff helping them with their luggage. Airport transfers and tours can be arranged on request with a charge, bags can be left before check-in or after check-out, and pets are welcome at no extra charge.
Albergo Centrale Europa is at Via Vittorio Emanuele II 167, opposite Piazza Duomo, where Via Etnea, Via Garibaldi and Via Vittorio Emanuele meet. The Cathedral, Palazzo degli Elefanti and the lava-stone Elephant Fountain, symbol of the city, frame the square, and the centre is part of the UNESCO-listed Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto.
Piazza Duomo · 30 m
Guests single out the location above all, right on Piazza Duomo with the Cathedral and the Elephant Fountain outside, and many love the balcony views over the square. The friendly staff, on hand day and night and quick to help with bags, are praised just as often, along with the value for money and the WiFi.
