Facilities

Albergo Centrale Europa is at Via Vittorio Emanuele II 167, opposite Piazza Duomo in the historic centre of Catania. Piazza Duomo, with the Cathedral and the Elephant Fountain, is about 30 metres away, the Pescheria fish market just behind the square, the Roman Theatre 240 m and Ursino Castle around 400 m. Stesicoro metro station is about 530 m away.

Rates at Albergo Centrale Europa vary with the season, the day of the week and availability, and the room type matters too: the Economy rooms facing the courtyard are the simplest option, while the Triple and Quadruple take more guests. Dates around the Feast of Saint Agatha in early February fill up early. For specific dates you can check availability with our booking partners.

No. The Single, Double, Triple and Quadruple Rooms look either onto the monuments of the square or onto the inner courtyard, depending on the room, while the Economy Double and Economy Single Rooms always face the inner courtyard. If a view of the Duomo matters to you, it is worth asking the hotel before arrival.

Families can choose the Triple Room, with a large double bed and a single bed, or the Quadruple Room, with a large double bed and two single beds, for up to four guests. Couples have the Double Room, with a large double bed or two single beds, and the Economy Double Room with one large double bed. Cots and extra beds may be available with a charge: ask the hotel.

Check-in runs from 14:00 to 00:30 and check-out is by 11:00. The front desk is open 24 hours and can store luggage before or after your stay. As everywhere in Italy, each guest is registered with an ID card or passport on arrival. Catania applies a municipal tourist tax: ask the hotel for the current rules and exemptions.

Breakfast is available, with Italian, gluten-free and takeaway options, and special diets can be catered for on request. How it is served and what it costs vary, so it is best to check directly with the hotel or when booking. The cafés on and around Piazza Duomo are also right outside the door.

No, there is no parking at the hotel. Piazza Duomo lies in the historic centre's ZTL, a restricted traffic zone, so ask the hotel in advance whether your number plate can be registered for loading and unloading. For longer stays, the paid AMTS public car parks in the centre, such as Borsellino near Via Dusmet, are the practical option.

Yes. Pets are allowed at Albergo Centrale Europa and there is no extra charge. It is still a good idea to mention your pet when booking.

Yes, WiFi is free and covers all areas of the hotel, rooms included. Guests rate the connection well, and there is also a shared lounge with TV.

Fontanarossa Airport is about 3.5 km away. The AMTS Alibus leaves from the area in front of the old terminal and stops at Catania Centrale station and on Via Vittorio Emanuele, close to Piazza Duomo; tickets are sold on board or through the AMT app. Taxis wait outside Arrivals, and the hotel offers a transfer with a charge, to be booked before arrival. The metro does not yet reach the airport.

No. The hotel is in a three-storey period building and the upper floors are reached by stairs only. Staff are known for helping guests carry their luggage, but travellers with reduced mobility should contact the hotel before booking.

Yes, Piazza Duomo is the heart of the city and stays busy in the evening, with music and café life, and it wakes up early in the morning. The rooms have soundproofing, and the Economy types face the inner courtyard; light sleepers may want to bring earplugs.
