Miinukset: -

Plussat: Tasty breakfast Comfortable bed Really close to centre and a lot of restaurant and pubs in close area

Miinukset: Noises from outside during the night

Plussat: Location and the welcome

Plussat: Sijainti, henkilökunta,

Plussat: The B&B is very centrally located. That is all the positive thing I can say about it.

Miinukset: 1. The owner changed the address of the facility but never informed us. It took us (both sixty plus) almost two hours with two large suitcases to find the B&B facility. The actual B&B where he made us stay was named differently (B&B Catania Etna) and was located at a different address (via Etnea, 198) than the address provided through 'booking.com'. A photo of the property front is attached here. 2. The owner does not accept any credit cards for payments. 3. The room was stuffy and the a/c didn't work properly.

Plussat: Clean and central

Plussat: This b&b is simply amazing...location is fabulous, right in the heart of via Etnea. Staff offer a great service and the rooms are super clean..definately recommended. Tasha, Malta.

Plussat: The location it was perfect and reachable for shopping and restaurants even for the public transport.but from the booking.com the hotel address is writen 290 via etnea but they told us that 3 years ago moved to same street but the nbr was 196.so if you please arrange it .I,m very satisfied for my staying in b&b massimo

Plussat: Location is very good, near to the city center and host is very gentle.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Mosquitoes in the room and the host didn't even react to do something about it.

Plussat: Nice staff, breakfast was okay, nice room and view.

Miinukset: Wrong adress on the booking so we had problems with finding the b&b.

Plussat: Very quiet room tucked off the busy street. Hosts were excellent when flight was severely delayed and waited up until very late at night for our check in. Spacious and comfortable room.

Miinukset: Bathroom was a little bit dirty/mouldy. Bath/shower didn't drain very well.

Plussat: You get good value for money. The room is very small. There is no coffee corner. Breakfast at a nearby coffee shop, coffe and croissant only. Excellent location. Small room.

Miinukset: My wife and I arrived with my boy as 3rd person. They charged me extra 20 euros but could not add extra bed. We left early so we didn’t have breakfast also. So for that extra charge we got nothing. In all other hotels we stayed in Italy we were charged but we got extra bed. To make things worse the two beds in the room are the narrowest in my 10 day stays in Italy. I had the worst sleeping during my stay with my wife on one small bed.

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff. A quiet hotel with a welcoming athmosphere.

Plussat: the staff and was very clean. Breakfast basic for a 4star hotel

Miinukset: the location and the forniture (very old)

Plussat: Very good position, staff very nice and friendly. Nice room. Clean.

Miinukset: Breakfast was no good at all. For This kind od hotel it was terrible

Plussat: The Liberty was amazing. The staff were wonderful nothing was too much trouble, our room was beautiful and the breakfast was above expectations

Miinukset: Nothing at all

Plussat: Super clean, extremly nice staff, nice breakfast, awesome small little garden

Plussat: Super amazing staff. They receptionist escorted me out to the street to help me park the car.

Plussat: Antonio and Sylvia at the front desk were terrific. We loved all Antonio’s recommendations.

Miinukset: No improvements recommended!

Plussat: The decor was great

Plussat: Extremely central location vlose to many restaurants and bars and just outside of the main square.

Miinukset: The room was so hot we couldn't sleep. The AC in the room was set up to 16 degrees throught the whole night but it felt like there was no cooling at all and we could barely sleep due to the heat.

Plussat: Thank You Carmelo.

Plussat: The friendliness of the host. Carmelo was very welcoming.

Miinukset: The breakfast could be better.

Plussat: Great location. Lovely room in an old Palacio but with modern facilities. For breakfast you get a voucher to use in a v nice cafe 50 meters away. . Coffee, juice, brioche.

Plussat: Very central location, near all of the main attractions. Anyone good on their feet can easily travel about Catania from this location. If you have a car Carmelo is excellent at helping you find a location to park. Carmelo gave out his personal contact information so that you could reach him for help at any time.

Plussat: Located a block away from the University square!! Book this B&B and you will not be disappointed!!! Our group stayed in 3 of the four rooms available. Each room can comfortably fit 5 people and maybe 6 if one person uses the foldable cot. The rooms are like a “loft style”. If you have small children just make sure they don’t climb the stairs to the upper part of your room. Bathroom is clean. There is a refrigerator but make sure it’s plugged in as they don’t plug it in 24/7 to save energy. Check in was easy even if we arrived in the evening. Beds are firm but still comfortable. Parking is on the street - we had problems with this but our host accommodated to help us! Food options and restaurants are just a few steps away. Fun fact: Bellini, the music composer, worked in this building!!! Our host told us this fact... Very cool!

Miinukset: There’s no elevator so if you have big luggages, you’d have to bring it up 3 flights of stairs.. the B&B is located on the 2nd floor.

Plussat: Excellent location, great communication with Carmelo, room was in nice sicilian style :)

Miinukset: Although double window, I heard noises from a bar, which is located very close.

Plussat: Carmelo greeted us and helped carry our suitcases up the stairs. It is on the 2nd floor. He was so lovely and welcoming. I stayed with my husband and 6 year old son and we felt the room was big enough. It had double windows that block out any street noise. It is in the best location with everything right outside your door. The room was so clean! It was absolutely spotless. I was so impressed because I am O.C.D! Not a spec of dust to be seen. Breakfast was good. Got a pastry, juice and coffee per person and it is at a cafe just down stairs in the square. Would highly recommend and if we are ever in Catania again we will be back for sure!! Thank you Carmelo

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The Hotel is in the ideal spot exactly in the heart of Catania; very close to all shops and amenities. The host Carmelo was very nice, available at all times and very efficient. Room was clean and tidy with daily cleaning routines. Christian was very gentle and assisted us when we needed. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

Plussat: The terrace space was lovely. Antonella and Jean were really helpful and welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable. Very short walk to sights area and great eating and drinking.

Plussat: All very comfortable, lovely staff, super clean and excellent beds

Plussat: Room was amazing, clean and the entire setup with the common area and the kitchen was lovely. We had a little mishap when the water was shut off all night due to technical issues but given the immediate response and apologies from everyone, I cannot put this down as a negative. It happens.

Miinukset: Stairs, stairs everywhere. It's not just this B&B, you need to be aware that in historic city centers, the buildings are very very old and without elevators. If you have problems climbing up stairs, then you need to ask before booking.

Plussat: Breakfast was okay and the staff was very helpfull. But a little bit less enthousiast would be nice. They kept talking in the morning while we wanted have breakfast quietly.

Miinukset: The beds are not very good: one was to hard en the twinbed was to old: my husband has pain in his back as result of this bed.

Plussat: The location was great! The staff was super helpful and friendly!

Plussat: Feels like at home. Very kind service with Beatrice and Janny! Would come back!

Plussat: It was really great experience, The staff was wery friendly and helpful. Also the breakfast was much more better that I´ve expected for B&B and the location is also great. I would recommend this place.

Plussat: Location was perfect. Staff was wonderful. I slept great. Breakfast was excellent as well. Highly recommend.

Plussat: clean well-decorated, friendly welcome

Miinukset: too many stairs, no easy car parking

Plussat: Apartment is nice and clean. The staff is really kind and helpful.

Miinukset: Need a little refurbishment

Plussat: The views from the terrace are beautiful. The staff very helpful. The rooms are equipped with modern furniture.

Miinukset: That they could change the towels every day.

Plussat: Instant smile on my face whenever I recall my time in Hotel Milomax. People are always the factor that makes the biggest difference. It was clearly end of the saeson but Raffaele went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasent as possible. Molto grazie Raffaele.

Plussat: The staff treats you with great respect and care to make your stay memorable!

Miinukset: It was overall fine !

Plussat: Staff is very friendly, the food was amazing and the view of Etna is stunning.

Plussat: The bed was wonderful. The terrace on the roof was lovely. It was an easy walk into the centre of Milo with its piazza and views. Most of all, the staff were extra pleasant and helpful.

Plussat: Comfortable beds. Raffaele's hospitality

Plussat: The location and convenience of the purpose of our trip. Less than 2 miles to the next town of Fornozzo.

Miinukset: The limited airconditioned option in the room. We just need the AC and air circulation but was limited. We have to open the windows to get cool air but have to shut it in the middle of the night due to street noise.

Plussat: Very cozy and homey with a friendly woman working there. Nice rood top terrace with a view.

Miinukset: There was a dog outside that barked late into the night and then started again from 5:30 in the morning until about 7:30 am. We all woke up totally exhausted. No worker stays there overnight, so you can't actually complain to none.

Plussat: Valentina was very helpful from the reservation, help to arrive, storing the bikes, arranging the door keys, preparing us tea, great breakfast. It was interesting to be left alone in the hotel. Thanks! Great views from room and balcony

Plussat: Excellent location above all and very close to a guarded parking lot with very reasonable prices. There is a shared kitchen all tenants can use that is equiped with everythind one might need.

Miinukset: The room was clean, but not the cleanest you can get. Not to the point that bothers you, but to the point you notice.

Plussat: Location is very central. The bathroom is big. In the breakfast you can choose one very delicious pastry and a hot drink, but for us it was enough, because the pastry was big and full of stuffing.

Miinukset: The air conditioner was loud. After we checked out of the b&b the host asked us to rate them with 10.

Plussat: Location was perfect, the room was ok and ac worked perfectly.

Miinukset: Towels not changed, not cleaned, wifi not working

Plussat: if you want to be in the centre of town this is the place to be. Very close to restaurants bars and shops. There is a small shared kitchen where you can cook a meal or make coffee.

Miinukset: Parking on the street is a crime. You can park your car a five minutes walk from the appartment. This is a secured parking.

Plussat: Keskeinen sijainti. Lentokentän bussi pysähtyy aivan nurkalla.

Miinukset: Matkalaukun kantaminen portaissa kolmanteen kerrokseen on rankkaa.

Plussat: Loistosijainti.

Miinukset: Kova kiipeäminen matkalaukun kanssa ylös, ei hissiä.

Plussat: Great location. It was really helpful to simply have own key for entry and exit when you like. Rooms were spacious and with quiet air conditioning so you could leave it on at night and still sleep easily.

Miinukset: We didn’t use the shared kitchen space.

Plussat: Centre

Miinukset: It was.fine and easy to reach my goal

Plussat: In the center of Catania, spacious room with good facilities. Nice staff.

Miinukset: Nothing, good quality/price

Plussat: very good location.

Miinukset: i had asked in advance if it was a problem when we arrive at 1am because our plane arrived late and was told it was no problem. when we arrived we were asked to pay 14€ "city tax" by the receptionist. we saw online that city tax was only 1 to 1,50€ per person, so we didn't want to pay it, because we weren't told about that in advance. the receptionist was very insistant and then called someone (the owner?) because his english was better, who said the 10 euro were an extra fee for our late check in and only the 4 euro was city tax. but that there was a problem with the water so we could talk about that in the morning. in the morning someone had texted me on whatsapp if everything was ok. at the reception they again wanted the money from us and then we again talked on the phone and were told we only had to pay the 4 euro because of the problem with the water (that was leeking out of underneath the shower). after we had left he asked me to leave a 10 point review here, which unfortunatly i cannot. long story short: if you charge for late check in, please put that on your website + inform your guests about it before they arrive, espically if they ask you if a late arrival is a problem.

Plussat: the staff messaged me everyday to see if everything is oki

Plussat: Location, kind host, cleanliness

Miinukset: Noise from the street

Plussat: Nice modern hotel.helpful staff

Miinukset: The bed was very hard, but otherwise room was late and comfortable.

Plussat: Good breakfast and location. The rooftop has nice views, good food and drinks.

Plussat: Location was good, bed was very uncomfortable and the buffet breakfast was just OK..

Miinukset: Bed and breakfast...

Miinukset: They did not send a taxi for me to get to the hotel, just gave me the number to call taxi.

Plussat: This hotel was clean and well kept. The location was the best for Catania.

Plussat: Good location.

Plussat: LOCATION.

Miinukset: NO VIEW FROM ANY ROOM.

Plussat: The location is perfect

Plussat: The breakfast was good.

Miinukset: the security of the safe box was compromised and money was stolen from the safe in the room The Management of the hotel did not extend an apology or even listen to our complaints. The reaction of the management was horrible. no Management of the hotel did not extend an apology or even listen to our complaints. I would not recommend anybody using the hotel due to the security issues.

Plussat: The hotel is simply great. The breakfast service at the roof bar ist exceptional and I would like to recommend everybody to enjoy the view to the vulcane etna and the service of the friendly ladies, if possible.

Plussat: Christian was so helpful and the breakfast was great value for the price. Close to the train station, a good restaurant and easy transfer to airport. Great shower in our room too!

Plussat: A substantial breakfast and attentive friendly service. Christian gave lots of helpful advice about Catania and how to get around it. As first time travellers to Sicily B&B XX Miglia gave us a positive introduction to the region.

Plussat: The host Cristian and Angelo were very kind and helped us to get directions. The breakfast was nice and exceed our expectations from BB.

Miinukset: The room was clean and quiet and a good location

Plussat: Erittäin monipuolinen aamiainen, henkilökunta erittäin avulias ja ystävällinen. Huone siisti, ja vinttihuonen lisäksi hyvin rauhallinen ollakseen keskellä kaupunkia. Ihana katsella kattoikkunasta pääskysten lentoa kattojen yllä!

Plussat: Friendly staff, very helpful and chatty :) recommended restaurant was really good

Miinukset: Non

Plussat: - The location! Distance to the city centre 15-20 minute, to central bus station 5-10 minute of walking. The hosts were very helpful and good with sharing info about what-where-how. - Breakfast! Unexpected, but it was really one of the good and nice organised and served breakfasts that I had in Sicily.

Miinukset: Price VS Quality/Category. Small room, very close to other rooms, near/behind the reception. No privacy! Accommodations have no elevator and are reachable at upstairs by foot. Very difficult to reach the upstairs with luggage. However, the host helped me with my baggage, the matter of fact still remains. The room was not that price worth.

Plussat: The host were excellent, really nice guys gave us a warm welcome and lot of useful information. Gave us also some nice gestures (tee, coffee in the room, drinks in the reception fridge). The room was nicely designed, the bathroom was perfect. The breakfest was served in the roof terace under a tent, very good atmosphere.

Miinukset: The building itself in a quite bad shape, but the accommodation was great. Be prepared: no elevator, you should carry your staff to the top floor. The room was calm but you can hear the noises from the hallway.

Plussat: The staff was amazingly nice and helpful as well as the amazing breakfast. We enjoyed our stay a lot and would recommend this place to everyone

Plussat: The location was very good (although best not walking through the street on the top of the b&b when coming out) and we got great tips from the owner. Also, they have an agreement with a car park nearby, which is easy to reach from outside Catania, which means you don't get into the crazy traffic of the city. Totally recommended if you have a car!

Miinukset: The shower door was broken but that has easy fix.

Plussat: Friendly staff. Although there wasn't a fridge in the room, it was possible to buy drinks from the reception/entry hall. The room and bathroom were pretty and clean. The property was close to Alibus bustop so it is easy to get from/to the airport.

Miinukset: Neighbourhood where the B&B is. We felt that the area was unsafe.

Plussat: Very nice staff, great room, comfy bed, excellent breakfast

Miinukset: The neighbourhood looks a bit rough - but so does a lot in Catania

Plussat: Huone sijaitsi neljännen kerroksen vintillä. Erittäin haastava raskaille matkalaukuille. Henkilökunta auttoi laukkujen kantamisessa ylös ja alas. Se oli erittäin tärkeää 72-vuotiaalle.

Plussat: Very comfortable hotel, walking distance from Villa Bellini & very close to the train station and air shuttle. Great staff at the reception- gave us advice on best granitas in town, restaurants & places to see.

Plussat: Aamiainen hyvä

Miinukset: Parkkipaikka puutuu

Plussat: Staff were absolutely charming and a pleasure to chat with. Room was large and very comfortable. Breakfast exceeded expectations

Miinukset: No hot drinks in the room

Plussat: Friendly staff - relaxed breakfast - good outside sitting area - interesting art on the walls & steps - easy walk to the main train station and the historic center.

Miinukset: Shower did not drain properly, and had a leak

Plussat: Staff is great! Maschia is an exepcional employee. Breakfast was amazing!

Miinukset: The lock at room '0' needs a replacement. Sound isolation is very very bad. The bed sheet has realy wierd odor (it was probably not well dried)

Plussat: Very welcoming and very nice slightly odd hotel

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very comfortable hotel, with friendly staff. Convenient walking distance to the railway station. Very good breakfast. I would definetely come back.

Plussat: Welcoming staff, peaceful relaxing ambience, Jazz & art theme, could walk to main part of town, comfortable & spacious room.

Miinukset: Would have liked more jazz music - a suggestion rather than a negative.

Plussat: Hyvä palvelu ja aamiainen.

Miinukset: Sijainti hieman liian kaukana keskustasta. Lähellä tosin hyviä ravintoloita.

Plussat: Friendly staff and very clean rooms. Hotel is a modernised old building near the city centre in quiet surroundings.

Miinukset: Breakfast was good but I don't know for what reason there was no egg mornay and bacon on Sunday. But overall it was good.

Plussat: I liked the hotel, and my room, 2 floors with the bedroom upstairs. The stuff were amazing. They even fixed the toilet on a Saturday when nobody works in Sicily!

Miinukset: The location - - it was a bit away from the centre, but still walking distance

Plussat: Comfortable hotel with quirky decor well located for station and bus departures. Good breakfast, spacious room and very helpful staff. Excellent value for money.

Miinukset: Hotel is about one kilometre from historic centre of Catania but much closer to station and bus depots.

Plussat: Clean comfortable and staff friendly

Plussat: The place way perfect - close to city centre and very close to transportation (train, bus, taxi). The staff was perfect - kind and helpful.

Plussat: Breakfast could be a bit better and more differential.

Plussat: The staff was amazing ! Our room was sparkling clean during our stay. The receptionists succeeded to fulfill all of our funny and childish requests.

Miinukset: If your room is overlooking the main street it could get quite nosy at night. The first room we got was on the first floor and had some unpleasant mold smell. However, we asked to be moved to another room.

Plussat: Nice interior and rooms comfortable. Seems it is a student residence / hotel in holiday season

Miinukset: Location- its in a very run down area and didn’t feel safe outside however it’s very convenient for the airport and just 15 Min walk to the historic old town.

Plussat: Very central location, staff was helpful

Miinukset: Old building, the room was in general not so comfortable. Breakfast definitely to be improved.

Plussat: Kind of cleaning service every day. Good towels:) Air-conditioning is really good!

Miinukset: Breakfast - we stopped going there after the 1st day. Coffee was really bad for Italy :) Croissant was undercooked, no choice at all. Don't waste your time going there. There is a nice place called Di Dio just 5 min from the hotel. There were no hangers in the 1st room. We asked, then we had to go for them to the reception. Noone could bring to the room? In the 2nd room there was only 1 hanger.. For a toilet paper when it's finished we also had to go to the reception..During cleaning they didn't put an extra one :d The shower holder was broken but noone fixed it neither before, nor during the say. The cleaning lady couldn't not to notice that it needs to be fixed.

Plussat: I came here after bad experiences in other places. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly from the beginning to the end. Especially one gentleman with glasses and the lady. The room was quite modern with security locs, air climation and the bathroom was very clean. Good wifi connection. There is a gym and breakfast included. I could finally do my laundry there too.

Plussat: The staff are very helpful

Plussat: Amazing room

Miinukset: Breakfast to sweet

Plussat: From all my heart I can recommend the Miro B&B hotel ! I will never forget what Lucia and Roberta ( hotel owners) have done for me. on second day of my stay in Sicily I got unwell, had complications with my pregnancy. Wen I asked Lucia via text if she knows address of emergency Hospital in Catania, she replied straight away. Then suddenly by my surprise ,she appeared in the hospital next to us like an angel from the heaven. She helped me and my mum with all translating and stayed with us in hospital with us till it was needed and till she knew I was fine. Unfortunately, for the rest of my holidays in Catania I had to stay in the hotel, lying all days in bed and take my medication. Lucia and Roberta kept bringing every day friends who were nurses all they had first aid training to do my injection. She kept checking on me and making sure that I don't leave room :) Which I find very sweet . THANK YOU Lucia for your good heart, sympathy and for your helpful hand. A big thank you for Roberta as well. I promise that I will come back to you again one day, and that in the bigger team :)) And then definitely I will visit all of Catania and the surrounding areas ! Something what I couldn't do at this time. Thank you so much !!!! P.S. Hotel was very clean, breakfast was very nice and location great. There a small bakery very close to the hotel, pharmacy, bars and pizza restaurants Very close to the main centrum.

Plussat: Giulia was a great host! Every day a clean room. Breakfast was okay.

Plussat: Everything was perfect. Our host, Julia was extra friendly and helpful. For breakfast we could choose between a lot of options. We are thankful and hope to come back once. Grazie mille!!!

Miinukset: -

Miinukset: We had a hard time finding parking but we eventually found a spot

Plussat: Friendly host. Clean room. Near airport. Great pizzeria Vicolo at 500 meters, giant pizzas (1 is enough for 2 persons!), very good.

Miinukset: B&B is simple but sufficient for 1 night, not more. Bed is just a few wooden pallets with matrass. Very simple breakfast.Catania center is a disaster, heavy chaotic traffic, not clean, very narrow streets. B&B difficult to find. Free parking between 20-8.

Plussat: Great accomodation, very nice host and fine breakfast. Located in the center, close free parking and good restaurants.

Miinukset: Roberta is A very helpful person.

Plussat: Lovely kind helpful hosts. Excellent breakfast. Good value for money. We found street parking outside easily. The hosts explained how to pay for the parking.

Miinukset: The walls are super thin so first might a Sunday was very noisy. Next two nights it was fine.

Plussat: The location is good, 10 minutes walk from the main street in Catania with lots of shops, restaurants and bars.

Miinukset: When I reserved the apartment it was noted that the check in time ends at 9 pm, however what was not noted anywhere was that the later check in after 9 is additional 15 euros! I was informed about this later in an email although the booking was not refundable otherwise for more than 60 euro for a night I would have stayed in a hotel. [ I wrote the check in time during the booking and I received an email 2 days later ] The pillows were really really hard and we had trouble sleeping whole night. Although it is written that there is a free parking, if you arrive with an evening flight as us, you wont be able to find one because it is a public parking on a street.

Plussat: - Clean room - Very nice owner gave us recommendations where leave the car, eat and what is worth to see - Tasty breakfast

Miinukset: - Small window - limited air circulation - Thin walls- we heard everything single word from room next to ours

Plussat: Really social hostel. Great staff and vibe!

Plussat: The people the most but good design and fun place to hang out!

Plussat: Be informed that beds are suitable for 2 people ;) Guys have wonderful breakfast and cookies, tea and coffee all the day. A lot of things in great hall to do - tennis, football table, games, old playstation, etc... But be careful - you can easily spend the day here and see no Catania attractions :)

Plussat: The location and how modern it is. The size of the beds.

Miinukset: The bathroom being downstairs. (The distance from the rooms and Having to walk past everyone in your pyjamas if you need the toilet in the night/first thing in the morning) The height of the beds. (Struggle to get up and down easily and get your stuff up and down too) How warm it was at one end of the room (the opposite end to the aircon) struggled to sleep. Opened window which helped a little but then it let bugs in. No curtains at one end of the room. Street light shining through all the time.

Plussat: the best brekfast in a hostel that you will have

Plussat: I really wish I could leave a positive comment, but I just cannot. After the very first night I got bitten by bedbugs! When I informed the owner he said the place was full and no other bed could be offered, which was true. Because of severe bites and itches I just could not imagine going to the same bed. He suggested a refund and me to find another place but at 9 pm I did not have a desire to do so. I 'slept' in the common room downstairs on sofa. The problem is when we where discussing the owner said that bedbugs are brought by people (fair enough) because at the airport the luggage get infected, and that they themselves spray the beds and rooms everyday, so in short he was implying I brought them, which I very much doubt but in this situation nothing can be proved. As far as I know, bedbug treatment does require an authorized specialist/equipment and some time after the treatment for it to work. So I do not know what kind of spraying was being done. And anyway, they are called 'bed-bugs' for a reason not airport/luggage bugs.. Otherwise, the location is great, staff is also very kind and nice (despite above mentioned), facilities are good, in the bathroom it was a bit too hot in August but still fine.

Plussat: I had a 4 day reservation at Eco Hostel and it was a pleasant and relaxing stay. The hostel is nice and close to the city centre and most of the main monuments. Room was spacious and clean. Bed were comfy. The chilling area is amazing. Good music. Great free breakfast. But over all I have to mention the kindness of the staff. It was like being with friends for me. I will come back for sure. Take care guys.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very neat and practically furnished hostel. Personally, I thought it was bigger, but the final effect was still great. I did not expect that the hostel could be at such a high level. The beds are really comfortable, with modern furnishings. Also a big plus for a tasty breakfast. I wouldn't expect that either.

Miinukset: The only bad thing would be the lack of showers and toilets on the first floor, but this is more due to laziness ;)

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: Lovely building, Good size room, stored our luggage, comfy bed, handy for bus and rail. Good cappuccino if you ask for it at breakfast. Reasonable choice of food, some good some bad. Although no drinks in the fridge other than water, there is a reasonably priced vending machine near the breakfast room.

Miinukset: The air conditioning wasn't on in our room, and it was impossible to find any instructions or work out how to use it. They turned it on at reception for us, but then I didn't dare adjust it! Not the normal remote control system. Poor juice at breakfast and the coffee from the urn was undrinkable (but cappuccino good). Not a very pleasant walk to the Old Town, (but if coming by rail you would have to go that way anyway if you were staying elsewhere)

Plussat: Nukuin todella hyvin. Huone vilpoisa,mutta ei vetoinen. Aamiaisella tuoreet kurkut kuivahtaneita,Kahvi maistui.

Miinukset: Vain vesi huoneessa tarjolla,kaipasin olutta.

Plussat: Kiva sijainti.

Miinukset: Ilmastointiautomatiikka olisi syytä miettiä, ettei se puhalla suoraan nukkuviin.

Plussat: The staff at the hotel made up for any negatives. Both reception staff where incredibly helpful. Riccardo made sure we got everywhere we want to go safely. You both do your hotel proud. Hotel located close to train and bus station.

Miinukset: You had to walk quite a while to get to the shops and restaurants. Unfortunately the walk included going into not no nice roads. Catania itself is full off graffiti and nor at all clean.

Plussat: Fantastic hotel, something special. Wonderful outdoor dining-room, nice personell. Good location, close to train, bus and metro. Walking distanse to old town.

Plussat: Furniture needs replaced. New wall paper would be nice.

Plussat: The convenience of the hotel's location near to the station, which we needed. It is a 10 minute walk to the city historic centre yet the hotel is quiet. Our room was particularly quiet, which we had asked for.

Plussat: All staff were exceptionally friendly & polite, breakfast was excellent and staff went to great lengths to make our stay enjoyable. Thanks

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Hotel was very nice, with an eclectic interior decorative scheme that was quite interesting. The staff was also very nice and professional. The breakfast was also quite good, in a beautiful interior courtyard.

Miinukset: The hotel location was not optimal, being a ways away from the historic city center, and not located in the best of neighborhoods. Restaurant selection in the immediate area was OK, but not great. The shuttle to and from the airport was a commercial cab, and quite expensive.

Plussat: Perfect location near central station with 24 hour reception and friendly staff. This is ideal for making day trips to other towns.

Miinukset: Dated hotel but it is simple and comfortable

Plussat: Staff, Courtyard, Breakfast Area, location to Airport.

Miinukset: Hallways and rooms need up dating, bathroom was fine.

Plussat: Breakfast was really excellent. The staff very nice.

Miinukset: Few parking chances nearby. If you go there by car, you need to book the park at the hotel - a small garage around 100 meters far from the hotel, not very comfortable and also quite expensive (10 euro/night)

Plussat: Our host Lorenza was very kind and helpful. The bulding is a wonderful old palazzo and the bnb is designed in good taste. The area is very central and lively, full of youth and bars!

Plussat: I loved the place because it instantly makes you feel at home, with it’s setting and the decoration. Appreciated our room because it was spacious and had everything we needed, including ac and a small balcony. And whats important when traveling is the hospitality of the persons and Lorenza was such an amazing host, kind and helpful and always with a smile. Will definitely come back if visiting Catania again!

Plussat: Good breakfast and comfortable bed

Plussat: B&B in city center, Clean

Miinukset: From the room you have to cross the kitchen to reach the bathroom which is not equipped with a shower. Absent bosses but present cat. Windows with no curtains and neighbors looked inside. Absolutely obsolete cushion

Plussat: Arty decoration , middle of the centre

Miinukset: Many stairs . Sleeping area half floor up and little warm in summer

Plussat: Right in the center of historic Catania, a few minutes walk from the highlights. Nightlife in abundance , but a nice quiet room anyway.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Excellent location for old centre, bright, large and comfortable. Host was welcoming and friendly without being intrusive. Great amount of space, quiet despite location near a bar - I slept so well

Miinukset: Everything was great and better than expected

Plussat: If you want smooth grey & white & a feeling you could be anywhere in the world, this is not for you. Lorenza welcomed us with a smile into her fascinating house (a former silk factory). Hand-painted furniture, old cinema posters (from her grandfather‘s cinema at the foot of mount Etna), a lava sink .... a home full of love. Comfortable bed, good breakfast, great location with quirky bars & cool jazz. We won‘t forget this place.

Plussat: Location was very central and convenient to all attractions, restaurants, street markets.

Miinukset: We knew that the bathroom was separate to the room when we booked the B&B but found having to walk through the dinning / kitchen area to access the bathroom was awkward at times.

Plussat: Loistava, runsas aamupala, mm. tuorepuristettua appelsiinimehua. Mukavasti myös suolaisia vaihtoehtoja aamupalalla. Sijainti melko hyvä lähellä pääkatua ja kävelymatkan päässä bussi- ja rautatieasemalta.

Miinukset: Huoneessa (flat) oli todella paljon portaita ja äänieristys oli erittäin huono, mikä heikensi viihtyvyyttä. Sänky kohtuullinen.

Plussat: Todella miellyttävä hotelli ja ystävällinen ilmapiiri. Erinomainen valikoitunut aamiainen kattoterassilla. Hyvää kahvia , palvelu 10+.

Plussat: We stayed at this hotel on our last night in Sicily, and were looking for a hotel with a central location that would be easy to get to the airport. The accommodations were clean and adequate for our stay-we did not get to try breakfast or explore the area due to our late arrival and early departure but it certainly seemed centrally located. We needed a taxi for a 6AM flight and the front desk staff did not hesitate on this, he seamlessly arranged a taxi who was ready waiting in the lobby of the hotel when we checked out early in the morning. Thanks so much!

Miinukset: It was challenging to find the hotel and parking area due to a street festival going on and the street was actually closed, but the front desk staff came out and guided us to the right place.

Plussat: Good location. Great breakfast. Friendly staff

Miinukset: Property tired.

Plussat: Close to the centre of Catania, bars and restaurants.

Miinukset: Air conditioner did not work on the first night. Very hot.

Plussat: Great breakfast on a rooftop terrace. Great shower.

Miinukset: Very hard to find. Very narrow streets leading to hotel.

Plussat: The room was beautiful, and clean. Great breakfast. Nice location

Miinukset: None :)

Plussat: Good breakfast. Location.

Miinukset: Shower small but it seems it is that way all over Italy.

Plussat: Our room was lovely with a beautifully decorated high ceiling. It was spacious and comfortable as was the bed. They have a wonderful breakfast and indoor breakfast area and a rooftop patio. I loved that they have a barrista who prepares the espresso and cappuccino. But we were particularly impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, especially when one of the tours we had booked fell through.

Miinukset: The only relatively minor suggestion I would make is that they upgrade the carpeting. It seemed a bit worn to me.

Plussat: Staff were very good

Miinukset: Small room. Nothing as depicted on booking.com The photo shown has nothing to do with the actual hotel. A total con. I was so disappointed when I arrived at front door.

Plussat: Easy to locate, very central, corner with Via Etnea, good walking distance within the city. Rooms are magnificently decorated with original grand ceiling decoration, a very pleasant and comfortable stay. Breakfast was well laid out, with nice Staff.

Plussat: The staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was generous with a lot of choice. The location is excellent

Miinukset: The bed was very hard and the carpets seemed a bit grubby. Tea and coffee in the room would have been nice too.

Plussat: I can`t tell a lot, because I was in the Hotel only one night. The place isn`t a city centre, but it`s take about 10 min by foot.

Plussat: Great breakfast Walking distances Size & cleanliness of room Welcoming staff

Plussat: Very friendly staff, breakfast very good for the price.

Miinukset: A bit noisy (AC, people walking outside on the floor, the/my room/s seem to be not very well isolated).

Plussat: Good breakfast

Miinukset: The area and we thought they had parking which they did not

Plussat: Large and comfortable room. Good central location, 10 minutes walk from a large selection of bars and restaurants. Car parking easier than we expected. Very helpful staff

Miinukset: Flimsy plastic foam cups unsuitable for hot drinks - an economy too far! A bit tight with the tea and coffee - but at least had a kettle!

Plussat: Iso, parveke hyvä, sänky hyvä

Miinukset: Ei mitään

Plussat: Excellent breakfast, friendly staff and a decent location. Both the reception desk staff and the kitchen staff were very helpful and courteous, helped us find activities to do in our last day /and recommended the perfect place to dine near the hotel/ in Catania and were generally great. The room was quite spacious, very clean and with excellent amenities. Plus, it was a pleasant surprise that one of the receptionist spoke fluent Bulgarian.

Plussat: close to downtown and close to airport - but close in Catania, does not mean easy: they tried to have signs, but the lacy of streets, there, is difficult to navigate (driving!) : but they did their best.

Plussat: Great value and great staff Breakfast was excellent and only €3 ! And they gave us a late check out for free !

Miinukset: Not much around close by

Plussat: Good size room with spacious bathroom. Parking is secured and valet but have to pay €9 per night (book in advance). Hotel is near the city centre so that is probably ok instead of parking on the street. Breakfast is only €3 per person per day but could offer better quality or variety. Coffee was free during breakfast and good!

Miinukset: 1.) Fix your internet. It was barely working. Bad bad bad. It is 2019! Fast internet is essential. It will also help not having 10 different names for your Wi-Fi per floor. Get your IT guy to fix this 2.) Hotel is far from city centre. Probably 10-15 min walk. It is UPHILL back to the hotel from centre. Dark streets between hotel and centre at night 3.) Shower on bath tub with only a small glass pane. Bathroom floor will be wet after you shower

Plussat: Bed very comfy. Great value breakfast

Miinukset: Polystyrene cups for tea . Not enough milk for tea

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti.

Plussat: Location in via Etnea is so close to everything. The staff were friendly and kind. We had a nice large room with super comfortable beds. The room also faced an inner courtyard and was calm and quiet. Excellent hotel for a visit of Catania and surrounding regions

Plussat: Location was perfect, room was very spacious and high, cleaning service level was ok. Breakfast was good in the cafeteria nearby. They have there own parking which is essential in Catania.

Miinukset: Nothing that I can think of

Plussat: Breakfast was provided in the cafe next door which also doubled as a wool shop!

Miinukset: Breakfast choice and location.

Plussat: Aamiainen "lankakahvilassa" oli ihan OK. Kahvia piti välillä arpoa, hakeako itse tiskiltä vai tuotiinko pöytiin - kaikki toimi! Aamiaistarjonnan valikoima parani loppuviikosta ja iltaisin baari toimi yömyssybaarinakin. Lankavalikoima oli hyvä ja lauantai-iltaisin olisi päässyt ompeluseuraan mukaan! Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä.

Miinukset: Huoneeseemme, joka oli hissin vieressä pihan puolella, kuului arkiöisin klo 24.00 alkaen ilmeisestä viereisestä talosta jatkuvaa ääntä - lähinnä joko agregaatti tms. ääni, joka kesti puoli tuntia sitten 15 min tauko jne, loppui n. klo 6.00 aamulla, ei viikonloppuna. Isäntä lupasi selvittää, mistä ääni tulee.

Plussat: I was given a room in an adjacent building and ended up being locked in the building. I was charged for a large room which I had not requested which almost doubled the rate. As a solo traveler, I didn't feel safe in the building and didn't sleep. The decor needs upgrades, it's not at all cozy or warm.

Plussat: - Nice service and room - great location to see Catania Center - Alibus to airport 2 minutes from hotel - nice italian breakfast - bottle of water - baggage deposit for free after check out

Miinukset: - to use the pool you have to pay 15 EUR

Plussat: The location was really good, and proximity to lots of attractions in the city center. We did only spend one night there though, so cannot say much of either the hotel or the city. However the hotel fit our purpose which was basically to having somewhere to sleep, close to city center, and having access to private parking. Staff was very friendly and helpful!

Miinukset: The room (201) was a bit strangley ”built” with a half-wall between the entrance and bedroom, causing the cool air from the air condition not reaching in to the beds so it was a bit too warm for a good sleep. We didn’t bother to ask for another room though, or help from the staff with the air condition, since we were only staying for night.

Plussat: The hotel had a perfect location being just 10 mins away from the city centre on a nice big street. The bus stop of the Airport bus (Alibus) is just 5 mins away on the same street. Very clean and comfortable with a big bath. Friendly and helpful staff, gave us a map and answered all of our questions. Very nice breakfast - variety both local products and generic stuff like musli and milk. The option to have an espresso there instead of only Americano from a jug, however, surpised me :)

Miinukset: Nothing negative to say about this place :)

Plussat: Nice helpful staff. Easy to get to via the airport bus loop. Not the closest to the centre. Good selection of restaurants within 10min walk. Arancini’s Express is a bit further ;)

Plussat: staff, location, size of room

Miinukset: room decor, cleanliness (old stained pillows covered with clean pillow cases)

Plussat: Room was excellent. Clean and spacious

Miinukset: Coffee facilities in the room would have been nice as we had to leave at 5 in the morning and there was no where to have a coffee

Plussat: Breakfast very good, open terasse with sea view, good selection

Miinukset: The bar is small and not fully open during the evenings

Plussat: Property is perfect for beach. There may be no private beach for the hotel, but there are several close by, which are very accessible. There are also several restaurants near by and a supermarket which is super great! The stuff were very welcoming, helping and friendly!

Miinukset: The public transport was quite far and the buses weren’t very often, so you need to walk quite a lot.

Plussat: Great location, has changed my mind of Catania, great bars and restaurants. great walks and sight seeing.

Miinukset: The swimming locations for beach access had closed even thought is what 30 C.

Plussat: Staff were really friendly and helpful

Plussat: Nice hotel but a bit outdated in terms of rooms and facilities (eg shower). Room large enough to accommodate a family of four (incl two small children). Good breakfast, although at a certain moments the staff was not sufficient, nor the tables for the number of guests arriving. AC not working in the room during first night but after request support, staff was really helpful and fixed it!

Miinukset: A bit outdated facilities.

Plussat: Everything else.

Miinukset: There was not such a good variety of fruits and vegetables, comparatively to desserts, and it's a pity. Butter and cheese were placed near hot dishes, and consequently they were warm and not tasty for me.

Plussat: Very nice and clean hotel close to everything. Recommend.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Sea view Bathroom. Good shower. Products

Miinukset: Twin beds not double even though requested x 2 Piano bar - no piano. Bar not staffed. Always had to request service. Location not as clos to centre as led to believe. Cost of parking at hotel not made clear. Limited breakfast choice , plus disposable cups for coffee. Unpleasant.

Plussat: Very central.

Miinukset: Breakfast choices

Plussat: The presseco breakfast

Miinukset: What a lovely hotel. We have stayed here many times and always enjoyed the time spent there, with friendly staff and a fab breakfast. Overall a 5* stay everytime.

Plussat: Location. Nicely furnished and modern.

Miinukset: With the slight option of salads and sandwiches no restaurant for full fledged lunch or dinner. Bedroom had no comfortable seating.

Plussat: The hotel looks very new, nice lobby and remodeled rooms and bathrooms. The room was very small, the location was great, as long as you walk left when you get out of the hotel (if you go right you'll find lots of hookers, waiting, sitting on plastic chairs, i'm not joking). Great restaurants within 1 block, friendly staff.

Plussat: Staff was the best. Very friendly and helpful, always smiling

Miinukset: Fitness centre was just a fake. No air condition and threadmill did not work The terrace was a mess, could make more out of it Air condition lived its own life, cold in the mornings even though I turned it off at night Balcony is a joke Ear plugs saved my sleep, city is not quiet at night

Plussat: The staff is amazing!! So friendly, professional and accomodating (Stefania especially went out of her way to better our stay). When we asked to switch to a better room, they agreed immediatly. The rooms are extremely comfortable. The breakfast is made with fresh and good quality goods. The hotel is in walking distance from the center, the shopping streets, the nightlife and some very good restaurants! Also, note for those of you that arrive with a car that it is cheaper to park on the street in front of the hotel than in on of the parking lots nearby (You need to pay in a parking meter)

Miinukset: The rooms are smaller than advertised. Although the rooms are clean, when my shoes went under the bed we found out that they do not clean there. Although the breakfast is very good and made with fresh ingredients, the assortment of foods available is quite small for a 4-star hotel. The hotel is situated and a street that may be to frightening at night, especially for women traveling alone.

Plussat: Nice modern hotel in the centre. Super rooms, wonderful breakfast, nonstop reception.

Miinukset: I miss the airing in the bathroom.

Plussat: Their was no I internet in the room, what we needed the most. Verry poor And you have to control that information as a partner

Miinukset: Breakfast

Miinukset: the breakfast is not very complete. no more croissants at 9:30. eggs sunny side up not included. this is this only negative. the rest was excellent and the staff is adorable.

Plussat: Staff amazing, happy, welcoming . Location central. Hotel very comfortable. Great position to walk everywhere. Loved it!!!

Plussat: The big room with murals on the ceiling. Good airco.

Miinukset: Breakfast was a bit boring.
