    Great option for a stay in Catania

    • Single Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The hosts were very reluctant to let me leave my suitcase there in the morning when I arrived, which was a little frustrating. There was plenty of room in the lobby area! Also, I asked for arrival instructions the day before my reservation and was told I should call them when I arrived, which was not particularly helpful. However, when I did check in, the owners were great about showing me the room, how to use the keys, orienting me to the city, etc.

    This place was a very nice surprise. The room and the bathroom were spacious and bright. The balcony overlooks the back of the street. Everything was extremely clean and the place was quiet. It's located about a 15-20 minute walk from the train station and convenient to the tourist sites. The bus to the airport stops right in front of the building. Breakfast is a voucher to a fun cafe downstairs (albeit limited choices).

    Good sized, comfortable room in a good location for the city. Lovely balcony area, however I think it was shared with other guests, although I never saw them out there. Supermarkets located near by and only a short walking distance to local sights Booked at the last minute after original accommodation fell through. Staff were warm and friendly and on hand to give advice and recommendations. Breakfast was included from a nearby cafe, which was easy to grab as you are provided with tokens when checking in which you just hand in to the cafe staff.

    Nothing to complain...

    Good position to explore by walking, Catania. Large room, clean, confortable large bed. Nice breakfast with all kind of specific bakery. More than decent building, bus station and Metro in front of the exit from the building. Many shops around. The Catania Centrale (for trains and busses) is 15 min away by foot.

    Great location & terrace with a amazing view
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller

    Beds was comfy but you better not be tossing & turning all night like I was, cause they will be creaking :) Also the room & pillows were a bit dusty, altho it was cleaned everyday. Also just FYI for the whole Sicily: be aware that in it's very common that you will have to throw used toilet paper into a bin instead of a toilet & you will probably have to buy your own water for drinking.

    Property was located very centraly, with shuttle bus from the airport & city buses stopping right outside of it, so you could get anywhere. I really enjoyed the terrace with amazing view of the cathedral. I had some issues with A/C, but stuff was very quick to help me, communication thru Booking.com was also quick. You get also breakfast at a cafe right outside of the accommodation so you can experience the proper sicilian pastries & coffee. Overall great experience for the price :)

    A small problem with the toilet, but it was quickly solved.

    The apartment is in the very center of the city. Extremely clean, comfortable and functional accommodation. Towels are changed daily. The hotel organizes taxi transport from the airport. An extremely kind driver, I would say a friend of the hotel owner, explained to us what to see, visit, where the good restaurants are. Everything was great. Warm recommendation to everyone who wants to visit Catania.

Both sweet and savory options available :) Lots of dinner and lunch spots in the area as well as bars and cafes. Could not have chosen a better accommodations for a 3 day trip!
