After spending time trying to find a reasonably priced hotel we found this little gem. Some reviews were negative some positive. We were stopping over for a couple of days so just needed what it said on the tin!!
The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the room basic, but very clean and air conditioned. Free soft drinks and water were added each morning, fresh towels and room cleaned even on a 2 night stay.
Nice relaxing area and court yard for breakfast, fresh fruit, yogurt, coffee juice, bacon scrabbled eggs, everything you need to start the day.
Not quite a 4 star but not necessarily a 3 star, no coffee/tea making facilities in bedroom but everything else, ensuite, safe, WiFi, TV.
Area of hotel is a shame, but after walking the street I think all of Catarina is the same. I wouldn't blame the hotel but the local government, it could be so much more but little investment in clean streets and generally keeping it looking nice compared with other Itian regions we travelled through.
On the whole if you need a proper hotel offering good service, somewhere safe, friendly staff you could do a lot worse than Katana
If I need a stop over again in this area I would use again, a good central place to leave and explore.
