- Martina (7/5): Ottima posizione - Posizione centralissima e staff disponibile. La camera era un po’ sporca.
- Guest (4/5): -
- Paweł (5/5): - Smaczna kawa, poza tym ciężko znaleźć coś pozytywnego. Notorycznie wybijało bezpieczniki prądu, które znajdowały się przy wejściu do bramy, trzeba było w nocy schodzić z drugiego piętra. Zatykająca się kanalizacja, stojąca woda w brodzikach. W naszym pokoju nie wyrzucono śmieci po poprzednich lokatorach. Apartamenty urządzone i wyposażone bardzo skromnie, sprzęty, wyposażenie mocno zużyte, wszystko prosi się o kapitalny remont.

- De caro (9/5): -
- Mancini Antonio (9/5): - posizione e pulizia tutto ok
- Gisella (8/5): - Posizione centralissima, check in facile! Punterei di più sulla pulizia

- Guest (4/5): La déception fait partie du voyage !! - Le checkin devant se faire à 16h, ils m’ont permis de déposer mes bagages avant !! Aucun contact avec l’hôte tout est automatisé !!
- Francesca (9/5): -
- RONELL (10/5): Our stay was more than we expected, the location was perfect and the room was big and comfortable!! - The location was fantastic and sooo central!!! The room was very big with an en suite bathroom which was also very big with everything you might need. The bed slept well and the pillows were very soft. The room was serviced everyday, the staff were friendly and very kind. The host was extremely helpful, we extended our 8 day stay for an extra 2 days!! I will recommend the facility any day and will defnitely return. Thank you once again for a memorable stay in Catania!!! There was absolutly nothing i didn't like!!
- Tiziana (6/5): -
- sara (7/5): -
- Gabriella (6/5): - Az ágyak eléggé nyikorognak,a matrac nem kényelmes
- paula (8/5): Good location, clean, fresh spacious apartment with French windows opening onto small balcony - Location good - to walk to city centre and restaurants. Felt safe walking at night. Spacious and clean apartment. No public lift only private which we couldn’t access so you have to lug suitcase up a few flights of stairs
- Chiara (8/5): -
- Guest (3/5): - Ubytování se nachází v ošklivé části Katánie. Cesta z autobusu směrem k ubytování vedla dost pochybnými ulicemi, necítily jsme se bezpečně. Při příchodu na ubytování se nám uklízečka snažila pomoct s ubytováním. Zavedla nás na jiný pokoj než jsme si zarezervovaly. Odkázala nás na pana majitele, ten nám oznámil, že naše ubytování je obsazené, vymluvil se na chybu bookingu. Očividně nabízí ubytování, které není dostupné. Wifi na tento pokoj ani nedosáhla. Za změnu pokoje nám jen nabídl, že nemusíme platit tourist tax, tedy 4€. Dost nedostačující. Pokoj byl relativně čistý.
- Roberto (6/5): -
- Cotte (8/5): - really nice place, cheap with good location smells smoke in the corridor
- rose44000 (7/5): - Chambre petite mais propre. La proximité du centre ville de Catane. Le coin cuisine pour un petit café ou thé l entrée de l immeuble lugubre et personne pour accueillir. Attention il y a des étages sans ascenseur pour ceux qui ont des valises. Il manquerait des produits de toilette serait un plus. La wifi n a pas fonctionné.
- Maika (10/5): -
- Francesco (8/5): -
- Paweł (4/5): Potentially good but requires the owner's job - Location, easy acces basicly You can check in at any time, WiFi, air conditioner, coffee maker, quiet Dirty sheet and blanket, dirty towels, broken bed, bug in the closet, mould in the shower and on the ceiling in the hallway
- Guest (3/5): - Solo la pozione diciamo che era buona Sinceramente è una stanza con tanti problemi, lavandino del bagno quasi rotto, la corda della serranda anche quella era rotta, e in più non hai nemmeno un mini frigo in camera, una delusione
- Olga (7/5): - Very good location,clean room, good air conditioning Breakfast is not offered, only coffee in capsules is available.
The water in the shower wasn't draining, so we had to repair it ourselves to take a shower.
- Flavio (8/5): -
- Glenda (6/5): -
- Lo Giudice (8/5): -
- Seddio (10/5): -
- Scrima (6/5): Rapporto qualità prezzo buono - Non c era colazione Il soffione della doccia non funzionava bene
- Pamy-84 (7/5): Punto di appoggio per una notte - Vicinanza dal centro di Catania. Camera accogliente Letto molto scomodo, alloggio situato al secondo piano all'interno di un palazzo senza ascensore. Camera senza finestra. Bagno con scarico della doccia che non funzionava e bidè che perdeva. Presenza di parcheggio a pagamento
- Anne (9/5): - Hjelpsom vert, gode senger og bra beliggenhet. At det ikke var heis som vi kunne bruke. Heldigvis hjelpte veryen oss med å bære.
- Fabian (8/5): -
- Karuna (1/5): Not recommended - The location was great in the centre close to the market shops & café all walking distance and in the room I liked the shower very spacious one Lots of thing could have been better if the owner tried to fix it
The strong mold or damp smell in the hallway of room S was terrible not good for health but tolerated it for 7 days
The AC in the top floor could have been fixed prior our arrival water was dripping all the time when turned on and top of it a wall lamp was fixed just on the bottom of the AC and the water was flowing on the lamp then to the floor. It was so dangerous Inform the owner twice but nothing was done and if you see the condition of the floor it's looks like the problem of the AC was there for ages.
Not even once the room was cleaned or bedsheets was changed.
There were lots more but the damp smell and the AC was the main one in this hot weather
- Jovana (5/5): Passable - Location is perfect. Close to pizzeria and sea food restaurant. Very strange locking system.
Every night we saw really big bugs in entry hall of building.
The owner wasn't very helpful with luggage storage which is basically possible in every accommodation
- Anonymous (7/5): Good -
- Malgorzata (7/5): Good and bad - Location, the fact that it had a kitchen even if it was under equipped so making actual food would be a challenge. Uncomfortable bed. Double bed on unstable legs that was being put in motion by the slightest body movements. We basically barely slept. The other thing bothering us was the bad smell from the pipes in the toilet. It was really strong.
- Taylor (5/5): It was ok, a place to sleep, use the bathroom and shower. - The early check in The WiFi didn’t work. The key situation was confusing and bothersome, you have to lock yourself in the room but also use the set of keys to plug into something to make the electricity work. So while you’re trying to lock your door the room is dark- it didn’t make me feel comfortable or safe. No one was there to assist with anything if need be. The room was… cleanish. There was left over hairs in the bathroom and the walls of the room were dirty and dingy… same with the desk space. The room smelled like sewage the entire time as well. Also no place to leave luggage after check out , which is inconvenient for traveler that need to hold their bags before leaving the city. Staff was lacking and not very helpful.
- Maciek (7/5): Good stay for the price, recommend! - Spacious room with an upper floor for 3 people. Very good price, clean with bathroom, towels, pizzeria just outside The smell coming from sewers, lift was't working
- Vezure (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marla (7/5): Good - Great location! Room as expected. Check-in directions were incomplete and difficult to follow.
- Ivanina (10/5): Exceptional - The rooms was clean and nice with good location
- Zuzanna (10/5): Great quality, especially for the price - It was super clean, perfect location, the AC was working well, the bed was super comfortable and I loved the balcony. The whole room smelled amazing and there was a fridge and a breakfast station with coffee in the common area. Great price for this exceptional service. There was nothing I didn’t like.
- Anna (10/5): We would definitelly go back!☺️ - It was excellent for our stay! The room and private bathroom was nice and clean. We didn’t use the shared kitchen, but it was practical. The location is perfect, we walked everywhere. It was great for this amount of money. Nice balcony btw
- Niklas (10/5): Charming apartment in the heart of Ortigia - Very good location right in the center
Clean
Fast communication with the landlord
- Jared (6/5): Pleasant - Location was great. We loved walking everywhere! Many restaurants and cafes within a few blocks. Nice, spotlessly clean, modern room. Upstairs loft with spiral staircase was very cool. Took a minute to figure out how to access the building and room but once we got in all was smooth. The water didn’t work for part of our stay but we were told it was a city issue. Some building “construction” started around 8am with very loud banging on the walls. The only window in the room is very high and small.
- Anna (9/5): Superb -
- Zhamal (7/5): Good -
- Mario_hak (2/5): Bad experience - The owner was responsive, always answering really fast.
The bathroom was renovated.
There were 2 really sweet cleaning ladies always asking to wash our stuff.
Everything from the area we lived in was within walking distance. Wifi quality wasn't that good.
Stains on all the sheets and towels. Not because they weren't washed but because they were old and needed to be exchanged.
There is a huge gap in the door and you could hear everything from the other rooms and the hall.
The air conditioner when turned on brought out a disgusting smell of mold and dirt, so of course we didn't use it, instead we had to leave the window open, which meant even more noise from outside.
The bed was outrageously loud. And I mean it. Every little movement meant loud metal noises that woke us up every 10 minutes.
The bathroom door doesn't close properly.
The area is really sketchy. We wouldn't suggest walking there at night, especially in the local market nearby. We would always go up to the main street "Via Umberto" and from there walk to the downtown.
Our room was "L", maybe the other rooms are not as bad. But for the money we paid we expected some decency at least and nothing luxurious.

- Abdulmagid (6/5): Pleasant -
- Timofei (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ján (6/5): Pleasant - Very good place, close to the center. We had the kitchen together with 2 other rooms. Instructions from the owner are not complete. Somebody picked our bags and I think it was a staff.
Unfortunately we received only small parts of bags content and information that it was our fault. I don't agree with this.
I visited this house with friends and I could compare some rooms. They have different sizes and sometime nice toilet room sometime not. Sometimes, nice kitchen and sometimes not. You need to choose very carefully.

- Alexandru (7/5): Good -

You are closed to restaurants and an artesanal beer place call mosaik ( great to meet people and have an amazing beer) the apartment is a good size and the bed was ok The place lack cleaning. There are mushrooms growing in the bathroom and it smells. The sheets were stained and the fridge was not clean as well.

- Dolores (9/5): GREAT value - Location Wasnt 100% clean
- Anita (10/5): We were very pleased!! - The exceptional room cleaning service that we had. Didin’t expect to get clean towels every day. Also the first cleaning lady was very sweet and did a very good job!
- Ralitsa (9/5): Superb - We liked the location, it was very easy to find. We loved the atmosphere. There was something like a big cupboard on the terrace which kept us from going outside.
- Hania (5/5): Passable - The flat looks nice and it’s located in a close vicinity to the centre. The shower was leaking terribly - the owner offered to have a look at it but there’s nothing to be done about it- it’s just constructed in a bad way so that it floods the whole bathroom. The owner is also very weird and communicates badly in English. Not a pleasant stay overall.
