Nothing to dislike

I enjoyed my stay at B&B Kike. The location was excellent, a short walk from the Bellini theatre and a host of bars and restaurants. Its also convenient getting to the waterfront in Catania and the train station. The family that own it were nice to me in our brief interactions and communicated everything I needed to know clearly in excellent English.

Amazing host and location! The owners are so sweet and helpful! It was a pleasure to have met them. The location is great. We parked the car to a secure location and only visited by foot! It is central and close to everything! Amazing restaurants and beautiful things to see around Catania! We wish we could have stayed longer! Wish you the best!

The location was perfect for getting to and from the train. It was also very close to the historic center that we could walk and explore all the history of the city.

Very nice and welcoming hosts, we would return any time for a couple of nights in this perfectly located place: close to teatro maximo, the port, and just a 20 min walk from the train station. It is so comforting to know that you are truly in very good hands with Valeria and her mom! The rooms are quaint with a shabby chic vibe and have all the amenities you need. The only small inconvenience was the smell of artificial room perfumers (I have bronchitis and an irritable throuat) but it was ok with open windows (September is still warm in Catania).

Excellent B&B! Beautifully laid out apartment bed and breakfast with a large historic building. Filled with character, but without compromising on the quality and comforts of a hotel. Everything was looked after. Amazing experience. Would love to return again.

A beautiful, historic apartment building in a classically Italian style, and wonderful, very helpful hosts.

B&b was 15 minute walk from Catania main railway station and 10 minute walk to the main square with all the shops, restaurants and cafés. The b&b was very welcoming, the decor was lovely and our room was spotless. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. The hosts were very friendly, welcoming. It’s location is ideal for visiting Taormina, Syracuse and Mount Etna.

Great location - a walk away from the wonderful opera house and all the sights and sounds of Catania. A great fish restaurant around the corner, good cafe next door and the airport bus stop right outside. Lovely big quiet comfortable room … tasty breakfast and a charming and knowledgeable host.

We enjoyed everything! My only recommendation would be to leave some blankets in the rooms in case of a chillier weather. Otherwise everything is excellent

Our stay was perfect. Location is excellent, the place is very comfortable and clean, it has everything you need for a short stay. Host was very nice and helpful, breakfast was fresh and tasty!

We had no dislikes. There was problems with the electricity supply (external works caused fuse board to trip) but it was fixed quickly and when it happened during the night again we had been shown what to do and did it so all resolved!

Easy to find location that is within walking distance of main train station, Catania Centrale, and the main bus/coach terminus (we travelled from Taormina to Catania by regional bus) however be aware that the pavements from the bus terminus are terrible - very hard to move wheeled luggage on! Which is no reflection on B&B Kike - we just walked on the roads like everyone else and when closer to B&B Kike the pavements improve. The warm welcome from Valeria and her infectious enthusiasm made us feel at home immediately. We had a huge room, beautiful original floor tiles, VERY comfortable bed, decent shower, impressive windows (double glazing kept any street noise out) and a quiet air-conditioning unit. Very short walk to the Duomo, Fish Market and main activities. Breakfast was overlooked by Valeria's delightful mother, Suzi, who was welcoming and lively. Good choice of meats, cheeses, jams, pastries, yoghurt and drinks. Good coffee. We had a lunch in the local bar / cafe below the B&B Kike (Bar Ventimiglia) and we can highly recommend their pasta alla Norma, caponata and grilled vegetables (we asked to share a platter of various of their dishes and it was all delicious) and followed that with macchiato and a macchiato latte (similar to a UK latte coffee but seems to come with some sugar, nice though and an almond pastry. One generous feature of the hosts were their flexibility. We checked out of our previous property in Taormina early morning which meant we arrived early into Catania and Valeria was able to check us in early. And when we checked out we were allowed to leave our luggage at the B&B as our flight back to UK wasn't until late that day. This all meant we had more time to spend relaxing and doing what tourists do, eat, drink, visit, and enjoy. Thank you, Valeria and Suzi.

This BnB is very cozy and the room was really nice, spacious and clean. Susana and Valeria are the best! They guaranteed we had everything we needed and that we had an excellent stay. The breakfast was wonderful, and although we had to leave early for our flight, Susana made sure we had a breakfast prepared to go. Finally, the location is great, walk distance from every main point.

Close to the city centre and train station. The owner is very nice.

Everything was nice - the bedrooms were spacious and we were provided with a variety of options for breakfast. The staff were very friendly and I would definitely recommend.

Excellent location in historic centre, just a short walk to major sights.

Great ambiance, it’s absolutely clear that the owners don’t own this place just for money. We can feel really like at home. Perfect location. Everything very clean. Great breakfast. Looks better than in the photos. My favourite place to stay in Catania!

The entrance is very typical for Catania, very large weathered doors off the footpath without any real signage. We were very dubious & really couldn't see where the property was, but our transfer driver was adamant it was the right spot. Luckily we'd phoned ahead as instructed & the door opened where we were waved over/greeted by Valeria.

The beds were extraordinarily comfortable. Room enormous & fantastic for family of 4 adults & large suitcases. Bathroom & shower also great. Susana & Valeria both lovely, warm and welcoming. Breakfast simple (continental style) but more than adequate.

Stayed in July 2024

The only negative if I have to say is that the bathroom it's outside of the room.

The hostess was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really good with a big variety of foods. It's close to the center.

I only spent one night at B&B Kike, but what a great place to stay! Valeria and her Mum are fantastic hosts. The room was clean, the bed so comfy, the breakfast perfect with all of Catania right next to you. Thank you both
