New Rubik's Castle

Bad rooms. Really noisy, old and not like the images. Thebuilding os terrifying. Very bad. Like a nightmare. We couldnt sleep because of the noise. There werent towels, shower gel, TV. The only good is the location and the kind woman who was cleaning. Totally not recommended.

The images from the reality is very different. We stay for three nights. The rooms isn’t good and the smell of the building is strange. Also the beds are terrible. We see from the pictures something very different. Only the location is good. Is in the centre of town and you can see Catania easy by feet.

I would not recommend this place. Mould in the shower, the room looks out into a courtyard where many kitchens of restaurants have their fans etc. so it smells of grease and it just feels dirty. Dont do what i did and 1) read the other reviews! 2) save enough money for your travels so you can avoid spots like this one. The place was even hard to find. There are no signs, you have to read the names on the door bell. Also would not recommend for female solo travellers. I did not feel safe or comfortable there.

We were cheated by the nice pictures. Terrible smell of mold. The building is old with degraded walls. The promised breakfast did not exist. Bedding was dirty. No towels offered. No water in bathroom.

I was there 2 weeks ago and left after 1 day do to smell, noise, lack of electricity (partial, power was restored after a few hours). In the mourning there was no running water and breakfast didnt arrive at all. Some rooms are ok, some are terrible, the building is dirty and it smells. The picture you see are probably modified in Photoshop. I will definitely not return

Absolutely horrible place to be. The whole place smells like mold, the toilets don't even have a toilet seat, one night we had no electricity and a whole day no running water. Couldn't go to the bathroom at all. Our passports were left on the counter at the entrance, unsupervised, anyone could just simply come in and take them. Also, the kitchen the window was missing a piece of glass. The "owners" were smoking in front of us in the rooms and did not respond to our phone calls for an entire day. When confronted with this, they said that a refund was out of the question. Do not go there! It is most probably a brothel, you can see from the "sculptures" they have in the rooms....

Nice big and cleen rooms with high ceiling. Cute and silent terrace, wich leads to the backyard. Hostel is situated in the center of Catania, infront of the Ursino Castle and other sights. Staff are friendly and helpful. Amazing place!
