I stayed 1 night to see Mount Etna. The staff are really nice and very helpful…read more BREAKFAST It was better than other hostels by just a little bit. They offer a variety of fruits (peach, apple, etc) and small yogurt. That's all I ate. They have cereal, bread, milk, and other things. SHARED BATHROOM - The female bathroom down the hall looks a little worn down and could use some renovation. It also lacks ventilation. - After one showers, there is no where fast way for the hot air to pass through other than opening the entry door. - The curtains were cheap and do not provide full coverage. - There wasn't side chairs or enough wall hooks to put away your items. ROOM - I stayed in the 8-bed female dorm. Quite Spacious. - I like that each bunk bed comes with a 2-port USB outlet and curtain. - The beds are covered with a black plastic film. I was lucky enough to have an unoccupied single bed in the room, so I slept on that, instead of the bunk bed. (I think I was less restless than any other hostel bed I slept on within Italy) - This room has 2 balconies so you will hear noise from the busy square. - The lockers come with a keyed lock. And there are 2 shelves. - It was difficult to find a wall outlet. Not sure how many there are in the room. The roof terrace offers good views. There is a bar there. You can see part of Mount Etna. It's the highlight of the hostel. I wasn't sure if there is an elevator but you have to walk 2 or 3 levels of stairs. It's a 15-minute walk from the Catania Centrale Train station. There is a kitchen with a fridge, so I'm sure you can cook.

You have to know the environment you're about to enter when you stay at a hostel. I think I just…read moreforgot. It had been over five years since my last stay in one, so this was a bit of a shock. I don't think I really have the right personality for sleeping with strangers. I had some random girl above me in a bunk-bed format (she seemed nice, but it was still too weird for me!), and there's no privacy aside from a curtain that you can put up around your bed. Unless, of course, you book a private room....which I should have done! Shared bathrooms are down the hall. For a hostel, they're quite clean and tidy. They even stock hair dryers! Many of the budget properties we stayed in this month did NOT have such lush accommodations. A light breakfast is included in the rate, but you do need to pay 2 euro to rent a towel. You'll get a locker for your belongings. Staff here was very friendly. One of the current staffers is even from Philly! Keep in mind that this hostel is situated right on the main square in Catania. You'll have beautiful views from their rooftop terrace, but you'll also deal with a crapton of noise in the middle of the night. Bring earplugs. I'd always prefer a hotel to a hostel, but if you're trying to keep to a budget, this property is a good option in Catania.

We're generally not B&B people, but picked this one for it's location…read more The outside of the building looks run down, as do all of them in this neighbourhood, but the inside has some impressive designs from it's 1700s origins. We had our own bathroom, and the breakfast was OK. We were right on the street though so others may not appreciate the noise if you stay here on a weekend. You are very close to the port, the fish market and the main areas you will want to visit by foot.

We had a nice and spacious room on the ground floor with a table just outside of our door, where to drink the last beers of the nights and chatting before sleeping. Catania night life is also a very good option especially for 4 girls like us. I do recommend the Globetrotter and this city for a gate away.

For mornings I wanted to stay in, the B&B offers a traditional and delicious Italian-style breakfast from 8-10 for only 10 Euro. For solo travelers, there are lots of places on the property to escape to for reading or getting work done. Private gated parking is included and the property is a convenient driving distance to many great restaurants and shops down in the village. For a quiet and conveniently located getaway, I definitely recommend!

Without any exaggeration, this is THE place to stay if you visit Catania. The hosts Rob and…read moreChristina are the most welcoming and warm hosts that you can ask for. They are literally the perfect balance between being attentive and at your service without being overbearing! The area of which the B&B is situated is central and genuinely Sicilien, which means it's lively and full of passionate people. There is a lot going on on the streets below around the clock but if you are in a southern European city like this one, that is to be expected. If you are looking for a B&B with a home-like feeling, cleanliness, amazing breakfast, lots of handful tips, free coffee and tea, air-conditioning, great location and flexibility, this is the one for you. I wouldn't change a single thing! I wish this B&B could go with me to every city I travel!
