Guest Reviews

• Giuseppe (2/5): Brutta esperienza - Avevamo una camera con bagno privato Lo scarico del water era rotto lo abbiamo fatto notare chiedendo di cambiare stanza ma non solo non anno riparato lo scarico ma non ci hanno dato un altra stanza , poi verso le 23 hanno tolto l acqua e non siamo riusciti a fare una doccia anche la mattina seguente verso le 5.00 mancava l'acqua. Abbiamo chiesto in giro se era normale e ci hanno risposto che a Catania non hanno problemi di acqua. La stanza non era molto pulita Abbiamo chiesto se il giorno che dovevamo partire ci potevano chiamare un taxi per le ore 5.00 e ci hanno risposto che avrebbero provveduto loro. Ma così non è stato alle 5.15 abbiamo dovuto cercare noi un taxi Io lo sconsiglio vivamente
• Léna (6/5): Proche du centre de Catane - L'hôtel est situé à environ 10 minutes à pieds du centre de Catane, ce qui est pratique pour visiter la ville. La décoration, d'époque, est assez sympa. Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas une pièce commune accessible par tous à toutes heures, ce qui rendrait le lieu un peu plus convivial.
• Bente (6/5): Rimelig og romslig studio - Et greit, rolig område og rent studio/leilighet i Via Naumachia 75, kun 150 meter fra rom i Via Abate Ferrari 69. Grei gåavstand rett ned til fiskemarked og elefantfontene rundt hjørnet til venstre. Gåavstand til strand, men brukte litt tid å gå. Seng kunne vært bedre, men sov godt. Kun ankomst før 20. Vi måtte avbestille 1.natten, fordi de ikke kunne ta imot etter 20. Et stort trekk ang. Service. Hånklær tilbys akiftet hver dag mot 10 euro p.pers. Vi klarte oss greit uten det, og bra med tørkestativ. Enkelt renhold selv med feiekost og vaskeutstyr. Tendens til raskt tett sluk i dus 2 ggrj. Ingen avrenning ellers, så da tar det ekstra tid å få vekk vannet. Sørg for å sjekke sluk før dusjing.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Camera dalla volta maestosa ma struttur rivedibile - Giunti presso l'indirizzo indicato, il proprietario non era a conoscenza della nostra prenotazione, dicendo che il B&B sarebbe aperto dalla settimana seguente, ma si è dimostrato gentile e disponibile. Alla fine abbiamo potuto fare il check-in dalle h. 15 ma la stanza, trovandosi in una struttura antica, era completamente fredda e l'impianto di riscaldamento centralizzato si sarebbe attivato solo dalle h. 19 fino a mezzanotte. Risultato? Congestione e serata a letto con bolla dell'acqua calda. Il B&B è un adattamento di una casa in una palazzina del centro storico, le camere hanno dei soffitti davvero maestosi ma la struttura, con i dovuti rifacimenti, potrebbe dare davvero molto di più.
• Salvatore (4/5): sconsigliato - Ho effettuato la prenotazione comprensiva di colazione, ma una volta rrivato presso la struttura mi hanno riferio che la colazione non era compresa, anche se ho fatto vedere la prenotazione. Tralasciando il resto si segnala la scomodissima nonche per niente igienica situazione del coperchio e tavoletta del wc che non stava alzata e quindi per i bisogni da effettuare seduti bisognava decidere se farsela appoggiare addosso o lasciare perdere
• Leif (8/5): Billigt, rent og centralt - Man får hvad man betaler for. Der var eget toilt og bad men på gangen. Ingen parkering, henvist til parkering foran en port i snusket sidegade.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Catania - Shady neighborhood. Street parking difficult. Check in took a long time (no line). Stairs, no elevator. Terrible breakfast. Had my credit card number exp date etc. all written down in a book. Did not make me feel safe.
• Audrey (2/5): Décevant - Accueil décevant et c'est bien dommage .. Si vous avez un problème/ avion retardé il ne faut surtout pas compter sur eux pour avoir de l'aide. Nous avons séjourné chez eux durant nos 2 premières nuits puis après notre tour de Sicile, nous avons réserve une dernière nuit la bas. Après un problème sur la route du retour, nous avons prevenu de notre retard, malgré ça quelques minutes après il n'y avait personne à l'hôtel, plus personne au téléphone : nuit dehors, et bien sûr ils ont facture Le petit déjeuner n'est pas bon malgré la jolie terrasse. Malheureusement je ne le conseille pas.
• Tøffasta (2/5): Sentralt men uten fungerende toalett. - Det hele startet med at vi ringte på for å spørre om de kunne oppbevare bagasjen for oss før vi kunne sjekke inn. Dette hadde de absolutt ikke mulighet til. Da vi fikk sjekket inn ble vi møtt av en blid og hyggelig dame. Det står at de har flyplasstransport, dette stemmer ikke. Hun var likevell behjelpelig med å bestille drosje til oss. Var ikke mulig å ta buss siden flyet gikk veldig tidlig på morgenen. Obs! Flybussen tar veldig lang tid og kjører mange omveier, så beregn god tid om du tar denne. Når vi fikk tildelt rommet var det et stort og veldig fint rom. Alt var som forventet til vi skulle spyle ned i do og det ikke gikk. Vi tok da kontakt med den hyggelige damen som heller ikke fikk fikset det. Etter en time kom eieren av b&b og så på saken og opplyste om at han hadde fikset det. Vi måtte vente minst ti minutter for at sisternen skulle fylles opp. Vi ventet og det fungerte fremdeles ikke. Tok på nytt kontakt med den hyggelige damen. Hun ba oss vente i alle fall 45 minutter. Vi gjorde det, men det gikk fremdeles ikke å spyle ned. Vi gikk for å si ifra men da var ikke betjeningen lenger tilstedet. Vi skulle heldigvis bare være en natt så brukte dusjen, var heldigvis lang nok slange, til å spyle i do. Synes vertskapet kunne vært mer behjelpelig for å forsøke å løse dette. Vi er ikke kravstore, men forventet at toalettet skal fungere.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Un B&B sympa à deux pas du centre ancien - B&B agréable. Accueil sympathique
• yelena (6/5): Danger neibor - Everything are good except danger neiboreverything is good, just one exception- danger neibor near city open market
• Verified traveler (2/5): Room only. Not a B&B - The room was nice just like in the pictures but the 'breakfast' was just four pieces of cookies for two people and two cups of coffee in a small plastic cups with two kid size juice boxes. We didn't eat their breakfast and ordered pizza. The receptionist Sara was kind and helpful, but the owner was very much money oriented person. We didn't have any euros in cash to pay te city tax which was 6 euros in total and told them we would exchange money and pay them the next day. Since we checked in at 7pm an all banks are closed, we planned to exchange the next day. In the morning, another receptionist knocked on our door 4 times to ask us pay the 6 euros otherwise according to her, her boss wouldn't let us keep the key. This was after we paid in full for four nights of stay. They finally came back for the 5th time to ask us pay with credit card which we offered in the first place and they insisted cash. There are many b&b s on the same street and I would recommend staying somewhere else. The girls who worked there came into our room to shut down A/C everyday after we left the room while didn't even clean once when we stayed there for four nights.
• Daniele (2/5): - Orrendo La proprietaria del B&B Scortese al massimo Davvero orrendo
• Rex (6/5): Review of hotel in B&B Le Ninfe - Owner was rude and yelled at us because of key breaking off in the door. She forced us to pay 80 Euros to replace the broken key with cash on the spot. We were told we couldn't get out of the three day reservation. Room #5 had no hot water. Phone calls were not answered.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Für Leute im gewissen alter zu empfehlen - Nur für Jugendliche und Studenten zum empfehlen.
• Nazia (2/5): Not able to check in - no refund! Scam B&b - After advising the owner I would arrive at 9.30pm and agreeing to pay the late check in charges, the b&b was closed. I had arrived late and had to walk through the dark unsafe streets (I was a solo female), when I finally got to the b&b it was closed and no one there to greet me. I called the owner about 4 times before he finally answered, to then be told I'm too late and he can't check me in now. I explained that the room was prepaid and it was agreed I could check in late, he told me that wasn't his problem. I was disgusted by firstly the dark unsafe street where the b&b is, secondly the way I was spoken to and treated and thirdly this is not a b&b, it is basically a very run down flat in an extremely unsafe area. I had to then find an Internet cafe, book another room through Expedia, the kind man in the Internet cafe called me a taxi. I have since escalated a complaint with hotels.com to get my money back but the owner is flat out refusing. I think it is terrible that hotels.com allows this sort of thing to happen. I believe I'm not the 1st person that was turned away after prepaid bookings. A bit of a scam b&b if you ask me.
• Sylvia (4/5): Sur l'appartement - Il faut distinguer la partie b&b et la partie appartement. Nous avons loué un appartement faisant partie de plusieurs dans une cour au calme (à part le bruit des chiens). Par contre nous avons été déçus par la propreté, la clim qui ne fonctionnait pas (le tuyau d'évacuation tombait dans la douche...), la chasse d'eau cassée, le rideau de douche moisi et le peu de chaleur dans la déco. Par contre il y a de la place pour loger, pour manger et la situation géographique est bien (à côté du château d'Ursino).
• beatrice (4/5): à éviter si vous aimez les accueils chaleureux.... - Des notre arrivée " notre hôtesse" c est jettee sur nous pour réclamer le paiement en examinant nos passeports dans tous les sens, nous n avions pas pu déposer nos bagages avant...pas sympathique du tout la dame ! Les chambres sont jolies tres rococo . Dans une des chambres les draps sentaient l humidité Le petit déjeuner est servi dans des gobelets en plastique ( un demi verre de the) un supplément est demandé pour un deuxième.... Malgré la jolie décor des chambres je déconseille vivement cet hébergement
• Elena (10/5): Миленький отельчик - Отель хороший, номер у нас был довольно удобный в 2 этажа, но освещение в нем очень скудное, интернет работал через раз, впрочем, как и везде на Сицилии. В номере на первом этаже есть стиральная машина, кухня, где можно приготовить. Наличие кухни особенно порадовало на этот раз, т.к. Катания удручающе грязный город, поэтому обедать или ужинать в их кафешках и ресторанах не было никакого желания. Также понравилось наличие у отеля своего закрытого дворика, некоторые постояльцы вечером выносили столы во двор и ужинали прямо там. Администратор Антонелла очень милая девушка, многое нам рассказала о Сицилии, подсказала, куда стоит с'ездить, что посмотреть, где лучшие пляжи, магазины и пр. Резюмируя вышесказанное, повторюсь, отель очень неплох, но Катания- это кошмар какой-то!
• Maurice (6/5): chambre super mais pas le quartier - B&B dans un quartier sans intérêt et peu sur de catane. Dommage car la chambre est superbe et l'accueil très bon
