Jolly Hotel Bellini - Catania, Italy 

Stayed at the Hotel Jolly Bellini in Catania for two nights. It was such a great experience. The whole place was recently renovated, with marble floors, modern furniture and bathroom fixtures. The room was spotless and comfy with a fantastic bathroom that had speakers so you could listen to the news or music playing on the television. The conceirge staff were friendly and helpful. As we were on a tour we even got to experience the hotel restaurant and it was very clean and the food was tasty. The hotel was also right in the heart of the city, just a quick 5 minute walk to Via Etnea, the shop-lined boulevard of Catania. There were also numerous cafes and pastry shops nearby. While touring the rest of the island, I can safely say that the Hotel Bellini was a step above all the rest of the Jolly hotels we stayed in. It is an ideal place to stay if you want comfort, cleanliness, modernity and a central location.
