Good location. Good value for the money. Pretty basic rooms on a third floor of a residential building, private baths but outside your room.OK for overnight in the very center of Catania. The staff helpful in finding parking, moving bags etc. Breakfast very simplistic.

Bed, bad management and possibly a breakfast.
As a basic clean cheap hotel/ hostel room this was fine. However, the management of it is appalling. We reviewed trip advisor and other sites before choosing it so were prepared in terms of locating the door and that we may need to phone rather than ring. There are what look like new signs on the main door and street corner which is good but it is not obvious that you have to phone the manager. We emailed to say we would be arriving at 10. We arrived and rang the bell and then rang the phone number, no answer. Then we rang the phone number again, and again. It became a little worrying. Eventually it was answered, the manager turned up 5 minutes later and apologised for not having heard his phone ring. 20 minutes from when we arrived we got to our room. During the week we heard numerous people ring the bell, and were embarrassed as we left for our evenings out, to refuse entry to these other guests and try and explain the system as they tried to get hold of the manager. We also heard evidence of double bookings and poor logistics in general, one day there was no breakfast, another it ended an hour early. His friend/ assistant had very little English apart from!"Cafe, Breakfast, YOU PAY NOW" (shouted) and "card machine broken". So expect to call, expect to wait, expect to pay in cash and whether you get breakfast in the hotel or in the cafe opposite or not at all is just a gamble.

Hotel with a friendly atmosphere.
Very friendly family run hotel. It is not a fancy place, but it makes you feel at home with the friendliness of the people who run it. And besides it was spotless and very quiet. It is for people who have a normal approach to life, without a lot of fancy extras, but it made me feel at home and very safe too. Recommended.

Impossible to find easily!!!
We arrived about 10,30pm and had great difficulty finding the place. Without a helpful taxi driver I do not think we would have found it. Eventually a man came down who seemed to be a bit worse the wear and marched us off up the street to a totally different place which we were aware of from reading the comments about the place, It was not a great beginning.Rooms were ok clean with fresh towels.Breakfast was a bit skimpy but the young girl was doing her best. It seemed a bit of a unprofessional set up. It was well placed for the sites though!!

Lovey B&B, almost like home.
We got in late to the B&B at about 10.30pm, and Guiseppe, the owner, was kindly waiting for us (after we called him to inform him we would be in late). The room was lovely. It was tastefully decorated and the colour scheme was a pleasant orange. The room was very bright and the beds were comfortable. Plus we had a great breakfast awaiting us in the morning of local cream filled pastries and coffee. Guiseppe was very helpful and the B&B is a short 5 min walk from Elephant Sqaure, where the city centre is. Would recommend this place.

Central hotel, close to bars restaurant and sights
This bed and breakfast was very clean and comfortable. The only drawback was the entrance to it and the stairs that had to be climbed to reach the b n b which was on the 3rd floor. You can walk to the bed and breakfast from the train station, (takes about 20 minutes) The room was very clean and comfortable and fresh towels were supplied. The location was very close all the wonderful piazzas and buildings in the area. Giussppe the owner was very helpful and friendly and speaks a little english. Breakfast is taken in a little cafe about 50 metres away from the bed and breakfast and consists of sweet and savoury croissants, fruit and coffee.

Ein toller Urlaub in einer sehenswerten Stadt.
Tolle Lage in der Nähe vom Piazza Duomo und Fischmarkt. Von diesem B & B aus kann man alle Sehenswürdigkeiten Catanias zu Fuß erreichen. Die Zimmer sind hellhörig aber das ist halt Italien. Die Vermieterin ist eine ganz liebe und nette Frau. Ich hätte sogar die Küche benutzen können. Catania und Umgebung ist auf alle Fälle eine Reise wert. Ich werde nächstes Jahr wieder nach Sizilien fliegen.

B & B centrale
A 5 minuti a piedi dal Duomo, strada facendo c'è il teatro greco e quindi senza perdite di tempo.B & B Silenzioso e confortevole, gentilissima la signora Cettina. Pecche: assente la seconda abat-jour, prese di corrente; asciugamano scarsi e serratura della camera un po" difettosa, ma sopratutto è la stessa chiave del bagno esterno di pertinenza (che sia una x tutte le camere?). Pecche a parte, lo consiglio.

costo basso ma comunque deludente
Abbiamo soggiornato in questo b and b io e il mio fidanzato per una sola notte. La posizione è centrale e la proprietaria molto disponibile ma mi rincresce dover puntualizzare anche degli aspetti negativi. La struttura è maleodorante, sicuramente ciò è dovuto al fatto che il bb si trova in una antico palazzo ma un'opera di svecchiamento è indispensabile. Appena entrati in bagno ci siamo accorti di non essere da soli:uno scarafaggio giaceva morto accanto al water. Il bagno è piuttosto datato e andrebbe ristrutturato. La colazione non è delle migliori e non si pretende che lo sia visto il costo irrisorio del pernottamento ma si può fare di più.

Ho prenotato tramite hotel.com ma dicevano che non era pervenuta, secondo me avevo una tariffa bassa ed ero solo, quindi guadagnavano di più in modo diverso...

Centrale, pulito, un po' rumoroso
Stanze grandi, spaziose e luminose. Si sente abbastanza il rumore del traffico sulla centralissima via Vittorio Emanuele sottostante. Il bagno, esterno ma dedicato alla camera, è completo di tutto, con sanitari e impianti un po' datati; peccato per la doccia di dimensioni troppo ridotte. Proprietaria gentile e disponibile, ottimo prezzo.

Hotel ohne Komfort aber Innenstadtnähe
Kleines B&B Hotel mit 4 Zimmern in guter Altstadtlage. Kostenlose Parkplätze gibt es in der Altstadt in sehr geringer Anzahl und sind bereits belegt. Politessen sind allgegenwärtig und verteilen auch nachts Knöllchen. Je nach Straße sollte man bis 7 EUR an Parkgebühren einkalkulieren. Der Frühstücksraum besteht aus einen Tisch mit 4 Gartenstühlen in einem Flur. Auf die ungewöhnliche Kälteperiode war das Hotel nicht vorbereitet (undichtes Fenster, AC und Zentralheizung ohne Funktion). Aufgrund des Jahreswechsel überhöhter Preis. Freundliche Gastgeberin.

Sorprese...
Il personale gentilissimo ci accoglie. Purtroppo però il bagno era fuori dalla stanza, cosa non scritta nella recensione. Inoltre nella ricevuta di expedia c'era scritto che non avrei dovuto versare soldi all'hotel perchè avevo già pagato con la carta. Una volta lì mi hanno fatto pagare perchè il proprietario non possiede conto corrente per cui non mi avevano in realtà scalato nessuna cifra dalla carta. Questo ho verificato era vero però bisogna dirlo prima! Inoltre la colazione che doveva essere dalle 8:30 è stata servita in realtà dopo e la doccia scarseggia di acqua calda. Peccato perchèla struttura è proprio vicino al centro comodissima, dovrebbe essere solo gestita meglio o con più chiarezza!
