Guest Reviews

• Stefania (10/5): Ottima struttura. Direi perfetta - La struttura si presenta molto bene, pulita, organizzata e non manca nulla. Si trova al terzo piano con ascensore. C’è una bellissima cucina ad uso comune con tutti confort caffè e tisane incluse. Nel frigorifero c’è un ripiano assegnato ad ogni camera. La cosa mi ha stupita perché nessun dettaglio è lasciato al caso.La posizione è centralissima ma la notte non si sente alcun rumore. La camera era spaziosa , letti e cuscini comodi, ariosa e ben illuminata. La comunicazione con l’host è stata sempre efficace e immediata. Insomma…. Tutto perfetto. Sicuramente se dovessi ritornare a Catania vorrei alloggiare nuovamente qui! Nulla ma aggiungerei solo un consiglio per quanto riguarda il “gradino” del bagno: aggiungerei un piccolo led magari per la notte così da segnalare il gradino se serve il bagno al buio.
• Marie (10/5): -
• Michał (9/5): - Localization was perfect, two minutes from the Duomo, restaurants and bars were right before the building, but there was no noises in the room. Very nice and friendly host, rooms are clean, furniture is new and comfortable, bathrooms are very nice. Self check-in was very convenient and everything was opened with codes, so there was no worry with losing the key. Could use some small appliances in the room.
• Luca (8/5): - Ottima posizione, gentilissimi e tutto pulito. Stanza molto comoda con accesso con codici. Situato a pochi passi dalla piazza centrale. Nulla
• Rayna (9/5): - Great location in the city center, on walking distance to the attractions. The staff is friendly and helpful - we communicate easily and the responses were quick. We have all equipment needed for a long weekend stay. The parking was a nightmare but expected in the city center.
• Cedric Hivert (9/5): - Emplacement parfait. Appartement super propre et acces facile. Un excellent pied a terre pour découvrir Catane. RAS.
• Michał (9/5): -
• Beáta (10/5): Tökéletes lokáció, szuper kis szálláshely! - Frederico nagyon kedves és rugalmas volt. A szállás elhelyezkedése tökéletes. Biztosan visszatérek még ide :-) Nem volt olyan.
• Meropi (10/5): - Ήταν σε κεντρικό σημείο της πόλης. Εξαιρετική εξυπηρέτηση και βοήθεια και σε θέματα που δεν αφορούσαν την διαμονή.
• Suthasinee (10/5): Highly recommended, clean and perfect location - It’s cleaned, location is perfect, close to all attractions with a few minutes by walking. From the bus station or train station to Ruanera, it takes about 20-25 mins by walking. There are grocery shops around, restaurants etc. The host is very nice and friendly, always reachable. Nothing
• Dariusz (10/5): - Czysto, ciepła woda, lokalizacja, wygodne łóżko, pomocny właściciel. Wszystko bardzo dobrze.
• HASSEN (8/5): -
• Jędrzej (10/5): -
• Gabriela (9/5): Apartamento muy bien ubicado en Catania a pocos metros de todas las atracciones. Nos permitieron muy amablemente ingresa - Apartamento cómodo con excelente ubicación Que la limpieza de la habitación se hacía cada tres días
• Milda (10/5): Lovely - The location was excellent, the room had everything you would need. The kitchen was wonderful addition for a cup of tea in the evening. I have to mention the bed and bedding – so comfortable and soft! It was lovely that the host let us to leave our stuff in reception area after checking out, because our flight was in late afternoon. This is extremely minor, but – hooks! More hooks in the bathroom, or in the hall area near the entrance. We were hanging towels or other stuff on everything and that made the room look like quite messy.
• Daniel (8/5): Un pied à terre sympathique pour un court séjour à Catane - Etablissement très bien situé en ville, propre, calme, bon rapport qualité prix, bon contact avec Frederico une seule prise électrique dans la chambre, peu de rangement
• Francesco (10/5): - Stanza bellissima e dotata di ogni comfort in una location stupenda a due passi dal Duomo. Unico punto a sfavore: la lentezza snervante dell'ascensore sebbene nuovissimo.
• CATERINA (8/5): Soggiorno confortevole - Design stanza e bagno Nulla
• Andrea (10/5): - Stanza confortevole e pulita in posizione ottimale.
• Sara (10/5): OTTIMO! - Posizione ottima. Accogliente, pulito e molto bello. Ci tornerò sicuramente, super consigliato Tutto perfetto
• Stefania (9/5): -
• Volker (9/5): -
• Piero (9/5): Eccellente - Colazione NON inclusa. Posizione OTTIMA TUTTO OK
• Dominik (9/5): -
• Roberto (10/5): Perfetto! - Camera bella, spaziosa, pulita e silenziosa, nonostante si trovi in centro. La posizione in particolare è vincente, in 2 minuti si arriva in via Etnea, e tutto attorno è pieno di ristoranti e bar. Utilissima anche la cucina comune per farsi un tè o un caffè. Infine, Federico è gentilissimo e disponibile. Insomma, quanto torneremo a Catania, di sicuro riprenoteremo da Ruanera!
• Pietro (7/5): Catania Centrale - Posizione centrale e grande disponibilità dell'host. Letto comodissimo! Odore leggermente spiacevole
• Natalie (9/5): -
• Petra (10/5): - Great location, right in the center, early check-in available. Very comfortable beds. The host was very nice and helpful in arranging transportation to the airport. Thanks Federico
• Sándor (10/5): Ideális főhadiszállás egy 1 hetes nyaraláshoz. - Lokáció, szállásadó, tisztaság 10/10. Kellmes kis erkély járt a szobához. Annak ellenére, hogy az apartmanban 3 külön szoba is volt, teljesen csendes nyugodt volt akkor is amikor másik szobában is laktak. Kedves rugalmas host. Bőröndjeinket is ott hagyhattuk utolsó napunkon felár nélkül. Program, közlekedés vagy bármilyen egyéb kérdéssel nyugodtan és bármikor fordulhattunk a házigazdánkhoz. Egy szekrény jól jött volna a szobába, hogy kényelmesebben ki lehessen pakolni
• sangran (10/5): -
• Ewa (8/5): - Location is just perfect-in the very city center, but not very noisy. Our host was super helpful and friendly. The shared kitchen is equipped with anything you may need. Nothing major, but there was no cabinet to store our stuff in the bathroom, even the towels had to be dried in the room, because there was not enough space to hang them in the bathroom.
• Shelby (10/5): Perfect Catania Base - Perfect location, very quiet at night, comfortable bed, easy to find & great communication The shower is quite impossible. It is typical of Italy to have the tiny shower, but this one has a large rain shower head and since the area is so small you basically are drowning yourself when trying to shower 😅
• Rosanna Pmart (10/5): -
• Anne (9/5): Empfehlenswert, gute Lage - Die Lage war perfekt. Ein später Check in funktionierte problemlos und sehr einfach. Um die Ecke konnte man gut frühstücken. Die Rezeption war nie besetzt. Das Konzept ist ein bisschen wie bei einem Airbnb, was für uns aber ok war.
• Kristina (9/5): -
• Orsolya (9/5): -
• Donald (10/5): -
• Anna (10/5): - Lokalizacja w samym centrum. Blisko atrakcji turystycznych. Federico bardzo pomocny i miły. Kontakt był w każdej chwili. Na pewno wrócę do tego miejsca. Bardzo polecam. Wszytko było perfekcyjnie
• Mariano (10/5): -
• Kasikara (8/5): - Quite nice Nothing
• Steve (10/5): we'll organized. -
• Federica Franze' (10/5): Perfetto - Tutto nuovo e perfettamente pulito, isolamento sonoro ottimo e posizione centralissima e comodissima. Il personale è gentile e disponibile.
• Kotłowska (10/5): Pobyt bardzo udany, wyjątkowa lokalizacja, bezkluczykowy system dostępu do obiektu, komfortowa - Rewelacyjna lokalizacja, komfortowa łazienka, wzorowy kontakt z obiektem
• Susana (9/5): -
• Stan (10/5): - Perfect location, very modern and comfortable stay!
• Dave (9/5): - Location was superb, right in the heart of the city and within walking distance of everything we needed. Federico the host was really friendly and made the whole experience very straightforward.
• Orly (9/5): We will definitely come back. - The room, the location, the cleanliness, and above all, the attentiveness and hospitality were wonderful. There are a few steps from the elevator to the hotel, but once again, the host was waiting and kindly helped with the suitcase.
• Daniel (10/5): - I liked everything, it was clean, nice room, the location was centre and the service was beautiful.
• Nidia (8/5): Central location, beautiful well maintained only building and friendly host - The property is in a very Central location. The accommodation is very clean and spacious. There is a communal kitchen with all the necessary appliances. There is heating/air con. My room had a lovely balcony, where I could seat to read a book or eat out there. Host allowed me to leave my luggage at the property after check out as flight was in the afternoon. There is a left at the property. Just something for you to be aware of, there is a lift installed in the property but you still have to go up and down some steps due to the nature of the building and how the lift had to be installed. But steps are manageable.
• Carol (10/5): - This was one of my favourite stays. Nestled into the heart of the historic area of Catania, a mere walk away from everything, and yet quiet with a balcony in the sun. A truly beautiful apartment.
• Michelle (10/5): -
• Alessio (10/5): Amazing experience, highly recommended - Amazing room in a beautiful building and perfectly placed to visit Catania. The room felt like a very high end hotel, with all the amenities. Very helpful host. We had some issues with the coffee machine and some paper towels in the kitchen would have been helpful but honestly, just to make sure I am completely honest in all details.
• Francesco (6/5): - posizione ottima si è esattamente in centro città a 2 minuti dal duomo Bagno privo di bidet, cucina in comune con le altre stanza, cuscini alti e scomodi (valutazione necessariamente personale)
• Oana (10/5): It is impossible to find a better place in Catania! - The apartment is beautiful , very modern and new, with all you need ; it has also a big and very nice kitchen very well equiped. The location is right in the center close to the Duomo, shopping street , market and other places of interest. The host , Federico is very kind and helpful to us , he gave us all information and directions we asked ; he was even more kind to arrange the transfer to the airport for us at a very decent price . We will come back and stay only at Ruanera . It was too perfect !
• Katy (9/5): - Great location, easy check in, Fredrico was really helpful, nice room, comfy bed, good kitchen facilities. Would definitely recommend and use again if I was to come back. Could do with a full length mirror in the room and my UK adapter didn't fit in the socket in the bedroom only the socket in the bathroom.
• Soraya (10/5): - L'appartement est situé en plein cœur historique de Catane. A quelques minutes à pied des sites historiques et de la gare, ce qui nous permet de visiter les lieux à l'entour
• JMO. (10/5): Bien situé et hôte serviable - Frederico est un hôte très accueillant ! Il a pris le soin de faire la navette depuis l'aéroport et m'a même dépanné quand j'ai eu un soucis de clés. L'endroit est en plein centre de Catane ce qui est un gros plus. Merci pour tout ! Rien
• Valerio Guarneri (7/5): -
• CAMILLE (9/5): - L'hôtel était très bien placé, en plein centre, avec tout à pied. La chambre, avec une petite terrasse, donnait sur une petite rue silencieuse. Le gérant de l'hôtel Federico est très accessible par téléphone, au petit soin si besoin, j'ai même pu laisser mes valises la journée du départ sans soucis. Je recommande cet hôtel et j'y retournerai avec plaisir si je reviens à Catane.
• Diego (10/5): -
• Steve (10/5): - Central location, clean room, good value for money, quiet place.
• Helena (7/5): -
• Lindsay (10/5): -
• Steph (9/5): It was great! - Loved the air-conditioning especially since it is August! It was clean and there was constant communication. The ammenities were good too.
• Cecilia (10/5): All I needed in Catania - Ruanera was an excellent choice as a solo traveler. It is right at the center of Catania which makes everything easily accessible by foot, including the bus station that takes you to the airport and the beach. Federico kindly received me and explained everything about the accommodation. The Sicilian Cafe next to the building is delicious, so check it out. Recommendation for future guests: If your flight is delayed or you will arrive later than expected, inform the accommodation so that you don’t keep them waiting. Federico was very kind and reached out to make sure I didn’t have issues finding the accommodation. I would stay here again.
• Alenkabart (10/5): Great little room in perfect location - Location, clean and nicely furnished room. The owner was very responsive and kind
• Claire (9/5): Perfect location - The location was absolutely perfect. Federico couldn't do enough to help. The room was beautifully appointed, everything has been thought of, great lighting, mirrors, shower, bed, etc... and the balcony was lovely of an evening. The kitchen was well thought through. I will gladly stay here each time I visit Catania. I had an issue with my room, which was taken care of immediately, I was impressed with just how quickly. There is a lift that takes you to the correct floor. However, you then walk down a flight of stairs and back up a flight of stairs. Entering the accommodation through a garage.
• Rachel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ece (10/5): Amazing - Great location. It was clean and comfortable. Its location is so well ! Nothing
• Jean (10/5): Perfect place for a short getaway - Central location, very affordable, clean with elevator Nothing
• Danilo (10/5): Exceptional - Our room was great! Everything is new and clean. The best thing about the place is the location. It's in the middle of Catania and a great location to explore the city. Room itself was very comfortable for two people for 3 nights. Federico was also very helpful, as he let us leave our luggage at Ruanera for a few hours after check out. I would definitelly recommend it.
• Arnold (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mitra (10/5): Great value for money, will definitely visit again! Frederico is an absolute pleasure to communicate and he made our sta - Absolutely spotless, great location, easy and quick communication, soundproofing, spacious rooms, kitchen facilities and fridge, lift Nothing to dislike!
• Elaine (9/5): Very comfortable central location - Great location, close to centre and attractions. Room very comfortable especially beds. Air conditioning worked brilliantly and was very quiet. Very clean. Lovely kitchen available for guest use. Federico was very helpful too. Lift worked too. Highly recommended Nothing really
• Amber (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect and the room was pleasant, comfortable and clean. Right around the corner from the Duomo. Federico was so helpful and communicative throughout our stay. We loved our stay at Ruanera and highly recommend. Bonus to have an elevator for luggage.
• Jennifer (10/5): Great place and great service, for one week stay - It is a top notch place. Excellent location in the city center. Restaurants, shops are steps away, yet very quiet in the apartment without street noise. The apartment has an elevator, a huge plus for us with luggage! Also, there is a fish market nearby, amazing fresh seafood. Couldn’t help you buy some and cooked it at the apartment. :) The host was super helpful, very communicative, helped a lot with our requests, especially questions on public transportation. He also offered us affordable rides to and from the train station we needed to go. Overall, a great place with great service. Nothing
• Yiqing (8/5): Very good -
• Mihail (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location- right in the city center, close to the bus stop at piazza Borsellino, a coffee shop next to the entrance. It was very clean. The host was so nice. He let us check in earlier and we left our bags there after check out time, so that was great. And as we are travelling with a child, I loved that there was a single bed for her and not the usual sofa bed.
• Denislava (10/5): Exceptional - The property was really clean and was placed in the centre of Catania. You can reach all of the famous spots by walking. The host was very kind and thoughtful. The room was fascinating and the balcony was our favourite part. We will definitely come back to this place and recommend it to our friends.
• Desislava (10/5): Exceptional - It is situated in the historical center of Catania. Very comfortable and quiet. There are parking options on the street, paying by parkomats.
• Lili (10/5): Exceptional -
• Valentin (9/5): The exceptional location and nice hosts made our stay pleasant. - Super location, helpful hosts, good value for the money. The room was small and almost no furniture.
• Wioletta (10/5): Exceptional -
• Reddek (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, perfect host! Nothing!
• Falzon (10/5): Exceptional - Location. Very clean and comfortable. owner Frederico was very helpful There was a kitchen so we could make tea and coffee
• Tony (8/5): Host Federico was very attentive to our needs -
• Velislava (10/5): Great location and host! - Perfect location, close to the main monuments, 5 -min walk to the local bus station, close to many restaurants. Very polite host, who is ready to assist you for everything. The rooms are very clean and quiet.
• Tracey (10/5): Fantastic location. Great value. - We were able to check in early. Owner was quick to reply to my questions. Gave a wonderful recommendation for dinner. Unit was very close to city centre. Very clean. Has a well stocked shared kitchen available. I highly recommend Ruanera. Nothing.
• Anna (9/5): We spent three happy nights at ruanera and would book it again anytime. - The ruanera is situated in the downtown area of Catania with many restaurants and stores nearby. It is a good place to start exploring Catania, many interesting places are in walking distance, and we found nice places to eat and have coffee. The room was in an old palazzo, with high ceilings, a little balcony, a comfortable bathroom, and the lighting was luxurious. Federico, our host, helped us with all questions we had and made sure we were comfortable.
• Radina (10/5): Exceptional - Great location! Extremely kind and helpful host! We definitely recommend!
• Dragoslav (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent central positioning. Quality services.
• Carolanne (9/5): Superb - Fantastic location to local restaurants and sight seeing. The stairs to apartment were a bit of a challenge doing a couple of times a day and coming down with heavy suitcases. Unfortunately lift was out of action.
• Lori (10/5): Great hidden gem. - Even though we didn't meet Federico in person, he responded to us immediately whenever needed. Our room was immaculate, charming, and comfortable. Federico even managed to find last minute taxi driver to airport when we couldn't.
• Έλενα (8/5): Best location in heart of Catania. - Federico is a great host! He was always available to contact. The room is cozy and beautiful as the rest of the apartment. It has these high ceilings and it’s very nice decorated. Same as the picture. The location is very convenient in the city center close to everything especially if you don’t rent a car. I would definitely book it again! We had a very pleasant stay! Nothing in particular. The stairs can be a bit difficult but for an older person. We had no issues.
• Judith (10/5): Great stay in the best location of the city - This is a cute little family-run hotel in the best location of Catania—2 minutes from la piazza di duomo and markets, wonderful restaurants, churches etc. The rooms are big, high ceilings, nice little balcony, comfortable bed, and wonderful blackout shutters which means you can sleep any time of day (which we needed as we were jet lagged). Federico is very attentive and helpful, and it is clear he cares. The location is on the top (3rd or 4th floor) of the building so wouldn’t be great for people with mobility issues (I didn’t see an elevator?). It was fine for us but something to keep in mind for older patrons etc.
• Markus (9/5): Great stay in central location - Great: Air conditioning, wifi, central location, staff (very helpful and friendly), cleanliness Minor complaints: 3rd floor with broken elevator. hard to sleep in due to noise and missing "do not disturb" signs. might have been bad luck or miscommunication with cleaning staff
• Nikola (10/5): Exceptional -
• Karol (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, new apartments. Excellent location near the main points in the city. Highly recommend
• Yolanda (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location - a few minutes away from the main square with many attractions, restaurants, and stores all within a 10 minute walking radius. Rooms are clean, comfortable, and nicely refurbished in modern decor. Well-equipped communal kitchen for storing drinks and snacks. Our train was delayed due to a strike and I was unable to communicate our status to our host. After waiting for us without an update, Frederico arranged to have someone wait for us outside to ensure our family’s arrival and reception at the property. Much appreciated as we were traveling with our two teenage daughters. Our stay at Ruanera made the most of our too-short of a visit to Catania. A couple of towel hooks in the bathroom would make a nice simple add-on! Lift is being built. Some may find four flights of stairs a bit cumbersome/annoying in the short term.
• Wojciechowska (10/5): Exceptional - It's a six out of five experience! I highly recommend the place. It's located in the city centre and everything is within walking distance. The room itself was super cosy (there is a closet and a rug by the bed) and the bed was comfortable for a good night sleep after long walks. The place was spotless clean and we had our room cleaned once while we stayed, too ❤️ We also enjoyed a sweet little balcony to sit and drink wine. If you need to store your food, there is a well equipped kitchen for you to use. Federico was an absolute perfect host and very responsive to our texts. His father assisted us during our late check-in and helped us up with the bags, too. Federico also let us keep our luggage in the property as we had a late flight back. Federico, thank you once again 🩷 That I had to go back 😉
