“Primo Hotel strikes me as a no-frills option in Catania, where the reception staff, particularly Rosi, seems to be the standout feature. While some have noted cleanliness issues and a disappointing breakfast, the location itself remains a practical advantage. For those prioritizing budget and a helpful point of contact, it could suffice for a night.”
