Art & Jazz Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
It is a sensible booking for couples and small families who want a well rated 3-star hotel in Catania at a mid-range price. Skip it if you want to be right beside the cathedral, since it is about a 15-minute walk away.

This 3-star hotel is our Best Value pick for Catania. It fits travellers who want a solid guest score without paying for a 5-star hotel, and who are happy to walk 13 to 21 minutes to the main sights.
Family rooms and air conditioning are listed, so families can consider it. If you need to be steps from the historic core, or if location is your top priority, note that its location score of 8.1 is lower than its overall score.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Via Alfonzetti 84, in the area our data labels City Centre.
Teatro Massimo Bellini is about 1 km away, around 13 minutes on foot. Catania Cathedral is about 1.2 km, around 15 minutes. Castello Ursino is about 1.7 km, around 21 minutes. These are straight-line estimates, so real walking routes will likely be a bit longer.
All three sights are reachable on foot, which makes a car unnecessary for a city visit. Parking is not listed in our data, so if you drive, ask the hotel about options and costs before you arrive.
What guests say
The hotel scores 8.8 out of 10 from 1,700 guest reviews. That placed it joint second of 6 eligible properties in our sample, and the large number of reviews makes the score dependable.
Our data does not include specific guest likes or dislikes for this hotel. That means we cannot tell you what guests praise or criticise most. Read a few recent reviews before you book, paying attention to comments on noise, room size and breakfast.
Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed in our data either.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price was €106.00 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November) for 2 adults in one room. That is about 13% below the sample median of €122.31. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
The comparison with our Budget pick is unusual. Hotel Biscari scored 8.6 with 2 stars and was €105.10 per night, less than €1 cheaper. For almost the same money, this hotel gives you a slightly higher score and an extra star. Our Luxury pick, Palazzo Sangiorgio, scored 9.4 with 5 stars at €330.73, roughly three times the price.
Breakfast is listed as continental and buffet. Whether it is included in the rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 eligible hotels in Catania. Our Best Value slot balances guest score, number of reviews and price, so it is not always the cheapest option. Here, 8.8 from 1,700 reviews at a price below the median made it the strongest balance.
With the Budget pick almost the same price at our reference dates, this is arguably the most practical choice of the three for many travellers.
Before you book
Check today's price for this hotel and for Hotel Biscari, since the two were almost level at our reference dates. Confirm whether breakfast is included and what the cancellation terms are.
Because our data has no guest comments, read recent reviews for noise and room size. Ask about parking if you drive. Terrace access and opening times should also be checked.
