The best thing about the Apeiron Hotel Acicastello is the location. Located in the Scogliera area of Catania we were close to most of the things we wanted to do and only about a mile from the train station.  We had a small balcony off our room had a nice view of the sea.   Our room was comfortable and clean though the bathroom was a bit small.  The breakfast buffet was adequate.  The hotel has an American style bar which is nice after a day of touring and shopping.  The staff was friendly and helpful.  The air conditioner in our room did not work all that well and was very loud.
