Platamone Rooms

The owner/staff was pleasant and helpful. They answered questions before and after my arrival. The room and private bathroom were both adequate and a good value for the price. I could recommend the room for a stay on a budget.

The location was VERY sketchy. The streets and sidewalks were strewn with trash. I definitely felt unsafe walking after dark. I selected the location for it's close proximity to transportation. This may also account for the shady characters hanging around. If I visit again, I will choose something closer to city center. My issues with the room itself were limited hot water and a difficult lock on my room door. There was not enough hot water to wash my hair and my body during the same shower. Upon checking in, I received three keys: exterior door, interior door, and individual room door. I had no problems with the first two, but fought my room lock every time. It was particularly concerning in case of fire because I was locked in my room. I needed to use the key to get out. Just a note for American visitors. Keep in mind their second floor is our third floor. This is a third floor walk-up.

Perfect choice for those who use public transport. 3 min from train station, 15-20 min walk to landmarks. Kind hostess who served us coffee and some pastry.

There was no sink to wash the cups.

Perfect location if you are travelling with public transport - 3 min walking to all bus stations & train Central station. 15-20 min walking to historic center. Balcony with sea view. Easy self check-in. Spacious room with kitchen amenities available. Hostess was really nice & helpfull, let us store our luggage until it was time to leave.

The appartment is on main bulevard and this makes it noisy because of the traffic. This is the deal for a great location.

Located just next to the Central Station. The place is clean, including the sheets and towels. The manager was very informative and provided answers to my questions. Spacious bathroom.

Extremely noisy at night, no sound insulation, I barely slept throughout the whole night even with earplugs. Old furniture but this is not a real issue.

We stayed to be near the airport, so the location was great for the train station, very good value for money, top quality sheets, really nice. We even had a bit of a sea view

Only that a sink in the kitchen would be a good addition

Perfect for a solo traveler to Catania The lady who served breakfast was lovely
