Loved the artwork on the property, friendly staff checked me in and made me feel welcome in Catania right away, it was my first time visiting so they recommended me some good things to do such as visit mount Etna. I wouldn't mind staying here again, social area met some cool people from all around the world. All in all this was a positive experience (:

Last night when we checked in, I specifically asked the front desk staff if there were bed bugs, as I had seen many negative reviews mentioning them. The staff assured me that there was no need to worry, saying that it was a summer issue and that they had cleaned thoroughly, so there were no more bed bugs. To my surprise, that night I was bitten by bed bugs all over my body, causing severe itching that was unbearable and left me unable to sleep. It’s already October, and the fact that there are still bed bugs is simply unbelievable! Moreover, we didn’t have a blanket, only a very thin sheet, and it was unexpectedly cold at night. The next day, after we checked out, we wanted to use the restroom, but the cleaning staff was quite impatient. In conclusion, we will never come back to this place. In the future, we definitely won’t compromise on accommodations just to save money and end up in a hotel like this. (The front desk staff was polite, but the cleaning staff had just finished cleaning and, after learning that we had checked out, said we couldn’t use the restroom. We asked to use it, and she reluctantly agreed, showing impatience.) Additionally, we had to pay an extra €2.5 to store our luggage until 3 p.m., which is understandable, although most hotels offer this service for free.

Good place for short stays or budget accommodation. Close to centre and bus services. Plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance. Facilities were good and cleaned daily. Staff were very helpful, the head cleaner is a bit abrupt but she just wants to get the cleaning done on time.

We booked this private room for one night as was cheaper to stay closer to the airport, than to use an airport shuttle service from our original location. We weren’t expecting much due to the cheap nature of the space, but basic and clean accommodation should be minimum. The bed itself was extremely uncomfortable, we could not use the thick pillows. There was grime all over the floor, we actually wore shoes inside after I noticed my white socks becoming discoloured wearing inside. The window was broken and could not be closed properly so all the noise from outside at night came into our room. There were people slamming doors and talking for hours at night outside our window/in the hostel. The hostel is located in a dodgy looking area. Would be suitable for very young travellers who are not intending to sleep much…

It is a nice spot, especially traveling alone. Very inexpensive dormitory accommodations. Staff and guests were friendly and relaxed, and common areas are pleasant. The area around is excellent, near a cooperative bookstore and wine bar and the excellent museum at Castillo Ursino. Very congenial—not much privacy and no frills lodgings, but a good experience.
