San Demetrio

Location is really central

The place is an absolute dump. Awful dirty and dingy single room. Bathroom door wouldn't close . Some smudges on walls. Tiny dark depressing room with a ' balcony 'which turns out to be just a window overlooking the inside 'court ' with some air con units scattered around. Not sure if the 'view was more depressing or the room itself. To top it off my return flight was cancelled literally 10 minutes after I checked in. I went back to reception and asked of I can check out after 1 night only ( I booked 2 nights) due to another flight I booked. Unfortunately inward charged in advance are the check in and the receptionist simply refuse to offer me any refund. It's usually possible to check out earlier especially that it was only 11 am the day before. I was even charged for the additional breakfast I purchased too and again they refused to refund this too . Their justification was that the room won't be sold. Wow.. Yeah I won't be sold because it is a dump . Oh yes and I was told I could get a credit if I ever stayed at the property . as if . The door to the entire property literally fell out and fire brigade was called .. this lasd for hours and I couldn't go back to my room ..as much as this is not their fault it only shows the state the property is in . Should probably be demolished alongside half of buildings in Catania . I'm attaching a picture to prove I'm not making it up

Very loud, you could hear the front door slam from the room (all day and late into the night) felt more like a hostel
