Guest Reviews
- Wiktoria (10/5): -
- Michaela (7/5): Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen! - Guter Ausgangspunkt, um Catania zu Fuß zu entdecken. Netter und hilfsbereiter Service. Leider Baustelle ums Gebäude, daher Eingang schwer zu finden. Viele Bäume wurden auf der Anlage gepflanzt. Das wird sicher schön.
- Arkadiusz (8/5): - Śniadania
- Zsolt (7/5): - Az üzemeltetők/ tulajdonosok nagyon kedvesek, segítőkészek, a szállás jó helyen van minden szempontból. Egy teljesen átlagos szállás, a célnak megfelelt. A reggeli nagyon gyenge, illetve nekem a tisztálkodószerek mennyisége is nagyon kevés volt. A napi beágyazás meg teljesen felesleges, mert más észrevehető nem volt a szobában.

- Zuzana (6/5): Rada by som napisala lepsie - Pan domaci bol velmi mily a staral sa o nas, najlepsi bol balkon a vyhlad - jedinecny. Vzdialenost od centra celkom fajn pesi Dom, rovnako miesto, parkovanie boli uplne zle
- Marta (10/5): -
- Chiara (7/5): Struttura semplice ma funzionale vicina al centro di Catania, bella vista sull’Etna - Bellissima vista della camera sull’Etna. Servizi essenziali ma tutto in ordine e pulito. Zona in cui si trova la struttura non bellissima ma comoda rispetto al centro di Catania. Colazione solo dolce, non salata.
- Zoltan (8/5): -
- Lisa Marie (8/5): - Sehr lieber Gastgeber, tolles Frühstück, alles war sehr sauber. Der Ausblick ist wirklich toll, die Wohnung liegt im 6. Stock mit Aufzug. Die Lage ist sehr praktisch zwischen Bahnhof und Altstadt gelegen mit kurzen Wegen, allerdings habe ich mich als Frau alleine nicht sehr wohl gefühlt in der Gegend, besonders nachts.
- Jan Karban (8/5): - Very quiet with superb location not far from the centre with excellent view of Etna. The room was quite big simply furnished. Small selection at breakfast with only sweet options.
- Andrei (10/5): -
- Simeon (10/5): -
- Kristýna (7/5): - Blízko centra Snídaně jen sladká, ale každý má jiné chutě.
- Filip (10/5): -
- Marta (9/5): - Lokalizacja super, widok z okna na Etne niesamowity, śniadania lekkie na słodko,. Trochę zimno w pokoju, słabo oznaczone wejście do budynku ale daliśmy radę.
- Szilvia (7/5): - Felszerelt, tiszta volt a szállás. Megkérdezte a szállásadó, hogy kitakaríthatják-e a szobát. Kedves, segítőkész volt a szállásadó. Az ablak nem az etnára néző volt, szállásfoglalásnál ez a leírás volt, de nem ezt kaptuk.
- Andres Alonso (7/5): Buena vista. - Buena vista desde la habitación El check out dice que es hasta las 10:30am, no nos gustó que el anfitrión nos hiciera mala cara cuando le dijimos que íbamos a salir un momento antes de esa hora pero que lograriamos volver antes de la hora del check out, como si la hora de check out fuera algo "sugerido" y no algo preestablecido.
- andrea (8/5): - Personale molto cortese Posizione e palazzo un po' degradati
- Brigitte (10/5): - L’emplacement le petit déjeuner copieux le confort de la chambre et la gentillesse de l’hôte.
- John (8/5): - Rather central. Not far from the main attractions of the city and walking distance to nearest Metro Station and bus terminus. Room was comfortable and the view of Mt. Etna from balcony. B’fast good.
- Brigitta (8/5): Kedves személyzet! - Jó lokáció, belváros közelben, vonat-busz pályaudvar közelben. Ágy kisméretű,inkább rövidnek nevezném. Környéken most sok bontás és építkezés.

- Vincent (10/5): - Sehr freundliches Personal und sympathischer Host, unkomplizierter Kontakt mit früherem Check-In. Die Zimmer sind schön eingerichtet und der Blick ein Traum. Würde wiederkommen Das Gebäude sieht wie die meisten Häuser in Catania etwas abgenutzt aus, dafür ist es von innen schön.

- Natalia (8/5): Dobra opcja na krótki pobyt (super widok na Etnę z balkonu) - Obiekt spełnił nasze oczekiwania. Pokoje są wyposażone w podstawowe udogodnienia – wszystko, co potrzebne do komfortowego pobytu. Dużym atutem jest piękny widok z balkonu, który umila poranki i wieczory. Do dyspozycji gości jest ogólnodostępna kuchnia, co jest bardzo praktyczne. Śniadania proste, ale smaczne – na słodko, m.in. jogurty, owoce i płatki. Dodatkowym plusem jest lokalizacja, blisko głównych atrakcji miasta, sklepów, około 10 min. piechotą od dworca Z minusów warto wspomnieć o samej dzielnicy – nie jest ona szczególnie przyjemna, jednak taka informacja była dostępna już przed rezerwacją (inne opinie na booking). Jednak nie czuliśmy się w żaden spokój zagrożeni. Podczas naszego pobytu byliśmy jedynymi gośćmi w obiekcie, natomiast przy większym obłożeniu może być dość głośno.

- Jarosław (9/5): Dobry hotel - Drugi raz jestem w tym hotelu, ponownie pokój mi się podobał, przestronny z ładną łazienką. Śniadanie typowo włoskie

- Dirk Raeymaekers (8/5): - Nette kamer en badkamer. Vriendelijk personeel. De ingang was moeilijk te vinden. Maar dat kan aan ons liggen.
- Michal (10/5): - Obiekt ma tylko kilka pokoi, więc kameralnie. Pokój przestronny i zadbany, piękny widok na miasto i Etnę (B&B znajduje się na 6 piętrze), bardzo czysto. Łazienka również bardzo czysta i duża. Bardzo dobre śniadanie, wybór zupełnie wystarczający. Bardzo mili i pomocnie właściciele.
- Jana (8/5): -
- Mauro (9/5): Week end a Catania - Vicinanza al centro, stazione treno e bus.
Titolari molto cortesi e presenti .
Camera pulita e ampia . Colazione semplice ma tutto buono e fresco La zona è in fase di riqualificazione
- Kurbucz (7/5): Közepes - Kedves volt a tulaj, együttműködő, nagyon jó elhelyezkedése volt, közel volt minden, árban megérte! Sajnos nem lett megfelelően takarítva, főleg a 3-4 .napon érződött már a szobában, por volt, a szemét sem lett kiszedve 5 napig, WC papírt nekünk kellett venni, hogy legyen illetve a reggeli sem volt bőséges, 5 napig míg ott voltunk ugyanaz a reggeli volt kitéve(sütemény, édes dolgok) mint 1. nap és sajnos az ágy is kényelmetlen volt, nem volt takaró sem, hanem egy ágy be terítővel takaróztunk!
- Nadine (7/5): -
- Adela (9/5): - Plasa la balcon!
- Mehmet (6/5): - Konum. Kahvaltıda yalnızca çok temel seviye ürünler mevcut. Tesisin otoparkı yok, önündeki alanda yer varsa aracınızı park edebilirsiniz. Ayrıca, ortak alandaki gürültü odalarda aynen duyuluyor.
- Sofian S. (8/5): - View-ul către vulcanul Etna. Foarte mult țânțari, chiar dacă am stat și cu geamul închis...
- Eszter (6/5): Not so bad, but far from great... - Clean room, nice breakfast (if you like eating sweet things for breakfast). - No window view to Etna, only to a loud construction site. (at least in my case)
- They could have put on fly nets on the windows. They are not expensive or difficult to put on. Quite a few mosquitos came in, and I heard other people complaining about it as well.
- They could have given us more smaller sized pillows.
- No savory breakfast. I know in Italy they eat sweet things for breakfast but I still missed to have some savoury options.
- Old TV with very few English channels. Most places buy the cheapest smart TVs so you can at least use Netflix on them.
- Filthy neighbourhood. Make sure you don't walk around alone, and wear strong thick shoes so the glass pieces on the ground can't hurt you. (I didn’t make the review all in all so bad because this is not something they can do anything about.)
- Martina (8/5): Modern, sauber, toller Ausblick - Unglaublich tolle Aussicht vom Balkon auf den Ätna. Zimmer groß, modern, sauber. Frühstück war auch super und wir durften alles am Balkon essen. Pflegeprodukte im Zimmer vorhanden. Preis Leistungsverhältnis top. Wir konnten auch schon früher ins Zimmer. Supermarkt gleich an der anderen Straßenseite. Bus Central Station 10 Min entfernt. Die Lage ist zwar zentral und toll, jedoch ist die Gegend nicht ideal. Viel Müll, Obdachlose und Zwielichtige Gestalten. Das Heimgehen in der Nacht war nicht angenehm und ich hab mich gefürchtet. Zum Glück hat aber eh alles gepasst. Ich würde das Zimmer aber wieder buchen - jedoch am Abend mit dem Taxi heimfahren.

- Valeria (10/5): -
- Jana (9/5): - The apartment is very comfortable and offers a lovely view of Mount Etna. It’s conveniently located near the city center, as well as the train and bus stations. The staff were friendly and helpful.
- Pimpinicchi Elisa (10/5): - Panorama
- Ettore (10/5): Esperienza da ripetere - Colazione oltre le aspettative per la presenza di frutta fresca, posizione strategica, vista sull’Etna, rapporto qualità/prezzo ottimo
What else? Super consigliato Nulla
- Mariia (10/5): Overall, the studio itself is lovely and the host is attentive, so if you are aware of the breakfast situation and don’t - I stayed in this studio in Catania, Sicily, and overall I had a positive experience. The apartment itself was clean, cozy, and equipped with everything I needed during my stay. The host was very kind, responsive, and always ready to help, which made me feel welcome. The location is also convenient for exploring the city and reaching the main sights. That being said, there were a few downsides worth mentioning. The breakfast consisted only of sweet items, which unfortunately didn’t suit me, as I don’t eat much sweet food. Because of this, I had to skip breakfast most of the time. Another issue happened one night when I couldn’t get into the apartment because the lock was broken. Thankfully, the host arrived quickly and helped me resolve the situation, but it was still stressful. Lastly, the neighborhood isn’t the safest, especially if you’re a woman traveling alone. There are quite a few homeless people and some marginal characters around, which can feel uncomfortable at times. Of course, this is something hard to know when you’re visiting for the first time.
- Mrzygłód (8/5): Miły pobyt - Ogólny porządek, czysta pościel dobry stosunek jakości do ceny, lokalizacja dobra blisko z dworca czy autobusu. Można trochę popracować nad zniszczeniami/wilgocią przy prysznicu ( fugi z grzybem i wilgocią)
Przydałaby się mikro lodówka w pokoju
Jeśli chodzi o dzielnice w ciągu dnia dobrze jednak wieczorem należy się pilnować
- Łągiewka (10/5): - Idealna lokalizacja
- Jakub (9/5): Fajny nocleg w fajnym miejscu :) - Przyjazny wlaściciel, pokój czysty, śniadanie na słodko jak to we Włoszech :) jasne wskazówki dotarcia, bliziutko dwa duże sklepy spożywcze, niedaleko dworca, więc fajnie jako baza wypadowa na wschodnią Sycylię, spacerem do centrum kilkanaście minut, więc lokalizacja super Jedynie ulica prowadząca z dworca do noclegu (Via Archimede) troszkę szemrana i po ciemku można było poczuć się minimalnie niepewnie, ale nic złego się nie działo :)
- Vivien (9/5): - Az Etna látványa valóban csodálatos, nagyon kedves és segítőkész a házigazda, a szoba tiszta és tágas. A reggeli lehetne egy kicsit változatosabb, általában édes péksütemény volt, gyümölcs, joghurt.

- Deana (8/5): - Easy commute from airport by bus, but we got off at the wrong stop, so had to walk further than we should have. We had agreed previously with owners, that we could leave our luggage as we arrived before the usual check in time, As it’s a b and b within a block of flats, we struggled a little to find it, making us later than expected but the owners were very patient and waited for us, thank you. We were greatly surprised to find our room was already for us, even though it was only 10am. The room was comfortable, and clean. It would have been nice to have had a kettle or coffee machine in room, but it wasn’t a huge problem. We had a nice distant view, but no view of Etna from our triple room. The surrounding area is a bit more rough looking, but didn’t actually feel unsafe, although a lot of homeless people sleeping on the streets nearby. Breakfast was fine, decent continental choice, just nothing fancy but filling and good enough considering the cost of our stay. Aircon worked well, and was needed. The main downside to the area was the mosquitoes, so make sure you have bug spray. I would recommend B&B Turiddu, good value for money, and well placed to access the city centre, as only 10 mins walk.
- Yuliia (7/5): Good to stay for 1-2 nights - Great location near the center of Catania.
The room has everything you need and is clean. Our room had a beautiful view of Etna from the balcony. You can park for free near the hotel. The host was very nice The building is a bit like a Soviet research institute (НИИ) 😂
The room could use a light renovation.
Breakfast was quite basic - mostly just sweets.
- Adrian (9/5): Comfortable, economical stay in Catania - Comfortable room with a balcony giving a great view of Mt Etna. Clean bathroom and bedroom. Simple, pleasant breakfast with good coffee. The neighborhood of the hotel is close to the bus depot and a 10 minute walk from the tourist areas but is otherwise not specifically inviting.
- Alice (8/5): - Camera spaziosa, pulita e con letti comodi. Anche il bagno spazioso e pulito. Buona la colazione. Ottima posizione, il centro di Catania si raggiunge a piedi. Vincenzo il titolare molto gentile e disponibile. Nulla
- Evangelia (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and quiet, the owner is very helpful and provided us with useful tips while we were staying there. The whole staff was friendly, and the breakfast was also excellent!! We had a nice and comfortable stay.
- Chris (8/5): Nice property in a good location - Second time at this place, great location and lovely view of mt Etna.
- Matteo (9/5): Superb -
- Ciprian (9/5): Superb -
- Marcin (10/5): Very good option to expensive hotels, central and modern. - Very nice small B&B, comfortable well sized, clean rooms, very comfortable bed with memory pillow (!). There is a small kitchen in the hall where breakfast is served, mostly in sweet Italian style but sufficient. For such a small B&B it's a big value. Also you can store small items in the fridge. Location is good, half way from railway station to the old town, two supermarkets and a bus stop to the airport around the corner. Although the area around and buiding itself are not so beautiful it's close to everything and the B&B is modern and clean. I got a room with a view to Etna. Host wery nice and welcoming. Thank you!
- Bere (10/5): Exceptional - I chose this room for the view of Mount Etna, and it didn’t disappoint.
What the pictures don’t show is the empty space right next to the apartment block, which looks quite desolate, but you can’t see it when enjoying the view from the bed.
I recommend opening both windows and enjoying the sunset over Mount Etna from the bed. I arranged the pillows to create a comfy seat for watching. Maybe one suggestion for the owner would be to switch the position of the bed so you can enjoy the view while lying down directly. The breakfast was quite poor - only sweet options, not of the highest quality, and not very fresh either. The water from the fridge that we were served also tasted bad.
- Máté (6/5): Very dirty shower, but at least nice view on the Etna - Nice view from the balcony on the Etna, good location There was black mold in the shower and in the AC, which we discovered on the first evening. The staff cleaned it next morning, however we did not get any compensation.
Walls and doors are thin, which make the room very noisy.
Check-out staff was a bit pushy to check out earlier.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice room with a lovely view of Mt Etna. The overall location of the B&B did not appear the nicest. The area seemed safe and there were no issues, but the immediate vicinity did not look great. That said, we were only about a 7 minute walk into the main areas of Catania and Via Etnea. There was a bus stop for the Alibus (airport bus) very near to the B&B which was convenient. Breakfast was nice (cakes, croissants, fruit, yogurt, cereal). We were confused by check-in though. We arrived only slightly before check-in time (maybe 15-30 minutes), but there was no one in the B&B when we rang the doorbell from outside. We had to call the number and were walked through how to check-in on the telephone. All was fine in the end, but some instructions prior to check-in could have helped.
- Kamile (10/5): Exceptional -
- Iulia (9/5): Superb -
- Markus (8/5): Very good - Good location to explore the City. Not nice outdide but ok inside.
- Sue (9/5): Lovely stay with exceptional hospitality - Central lovely hosts went out of their way
- Melissa (8/5): Very good -
- William (8/5): I loved the view of Etna from the room which was the best thing about the place.The guesthouse is close to the centre an - I loved the view of Etna from the room,that was incredible 👍Vincenzo was very helpful and friendly as he allowed us to check in earlier as the room was available. I can’t think of anything that I didn’t like.
- Elena (10/5): Amazing stay with a lovely host - Everything was amazing. The staff was super kind and helpful. The room was great, big enough with an amazing view of Etna. It was clean, quiet and comfortable. The breakfast was small but sufficient for a short trip. There was everything necessary. The location was great too, close to the centre with bars and restaurants. I highly recommend.
- John (8/5): Very good - Good for a quick stay in Catania. Close to the vibrant part of the city. Good communication from the host.
- Marina (8/5): Very good - The location is convenient, close to public transport, shops and the city center.
Very friendly and kind staff.
- Gulgun (7/5): Good -
- George (9/5): Perfect stay in Catania - Staff were pleasant and professional.
Place was very clean, and ideally located
- Jovan (8/5): Very good - Overall great experience, I would recommend this stay.
- Lisa (7/5): Good -
- Yana (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. Breakfast was very good
- Bogdan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Patricia (10/5): Muy bueno - Muy confortable, cerca del centro, desayuno completo, en general muy bueno.
- Chris (8/5): Great little place ideally located - Great location to station as well as centre. My room was delux and very nice. The view of mount Etna fantastic.
Disappointed with the room service, better not to clean at all. All the cleaner did was to make the bed. Never cleaned anything, I forgot to flush toilet and found it the same. Dust on the floor, bed cover had stains on it, clean towels not given and no toiletries replaced. Vincenzo was excellent and gave me so much needed advice. Overall great place to stay but they need to replace the cleaner
- Carole (9/5): Great stay - A welcoming host and a good, clean room with a good sized bathroom. Shared kitchen to store and make food. Walkable distance to the centre of Catania, the train station, and close to supermarkets, but area is quiet. Superb shower!! Helped book a taxi to the airport. Backs on to a street that doesn't look to be the safest at night.
- Agnieszka (10/5): Wonderful Stay with Amazing Views of Etna! - We had an absolutely fantastic week at this B&B. The room was modern, spotlessly clean, and was tidied daily with fresh towels provided each time. The highlight was definitely the beautiful view of Mount Etna from our balcony, which made each morning and evening feel special.
The host was extremely friendly and helpful, always available to answer questions and give tips on the local area. Their hospitality really made our stay extra enjoyable.
Overall, we were totally satisfied and would highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable stay with great service and stunning views. -
- Petra (9/5): Our stay was great, otherwise we would not have come back. Location is just perfect for our needs. - It was the second time we stayed at the B&B due to its location. It is easy to reach from the airport with the shuttle into Catania train station and only 10 minutes walk which suits us perfectly.
The owner and staff are very polite and helpful.
The rooms have nicely been decorated and the mattresses are very comfortable. The B&B is also very quiet and perfect for a light sleeper like me. Around the B&B building it looks dirty and unsafe but it is not, however, it can make people feel unsafe.
The room and bathroom itself are clean but the dark wall behind the bed was very dusty and covered in cobwebs and needed urgent cleaning.
The breakfast is very simple and because one of the staff is constantly there in the rather small room, one feels uncomfortable while eating.
- Elīna (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing view
- Dorina (8/5): Very good - The location was perfect, the inner city was very easy to reach with a 10 minute walk, several bus stops around the building, including the shuttle bus to the airport, a Lidl and also a local supermarket were also just a few minutes away. The hosts were friendly, kind and available, they made us feel welcome. The kitchen was well equipped, apart from the breakfast there were tea, cookies and coffee available all day, and there was a fridge for the guests to use as well. Our room was nice and clean with enough towels, the bed and the pillows were comfortable, the air conditioner worked perfectly, there were enough space for everything. The breakfast mainly consisted of sweet pastries, fruits and bread with butter and jam, cereals, coffee, tea, yoghurt, which was all very delicious, but if you prefer a savory breakfast, you might have to buy some additional food. All in all, we would definitely come back, it made our stay in Catania lovely. If you are a noise sensitive person or a light sleeper, I would bring earplugs with me as neither the doors nor the walls are soundproof. Even if you don't want to have breakfast around 8-10 am, you will still wake up for the noise of others eating in the kitchen, or be disturbed by the neighboors.
- Maria Lorena (10/5): - Excelent!!
- paul (10/5): - The staff made this stay as welcoming as could be, invited me to breakfast every morning, and were constantly checking in on me. would recommend. Very good service. Thank you all!
- James (10/5): I had a really fantastic stay and staying at the Triddu was part of that. - The standard of cleanliness was exceptional. N/A
- Mehmet (5/5): Could be fair for the price, but noise was a big problem for me. - They greeted us at the door, which was great. Also staff is friendly and always smiling. There are many parking spots around the place, which is also good. Not too far away from the city center, it's on walking distance. Noise. Rooms are next to the common place where the breakfast is served, and you hear people's voice and also the person who was preparing the breakfast preferred to keep his cellphone ringer on, I woke up with his cell phone twice (in different days) around 9 am, which is not the best experience especially after a long night. Also, rooms are being opened by a card, but they are making prison cell buzz sound :) So, when people go for breakfast, you should expect many buzzing sounds around 8-10 am. Similarly when people come back to their room as well at night. Breakfast, as many others mentioned as well, was mediocre. A final note, housekeeping is starting after 10:30, but they of course start earlier so expect some cleaning noises on top of everything around 10 am. No fridge in the rooms (there is a common one at the kitchen though).
- Bártfai (9/5): Amazing accomodation, a little less amazing location - The rooms were very nice, and the staff was super helpful! We had problems with having to leave earlier than the breakfast times two days and they were very flexible, gave us something to eat every day. The only disadvantage is the location, it is not far from the historic centre, which is nice, but other than that it is quite a messy area, dirtly and is at least 30min busride to any of the beaches, etc.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Our room had it's own air conditioner and remote. However, it was super weak and didn't seem to really respond to our setting it lower or higher. During our first night, we were very hot despite leaving it on all night and setting it to 18°C (we normally sleep higher but it just wasn't cooling the room down so we tried setting it lower).
There is a shared mini fridge that can be used by guests, but it is also set to a very low setting such that it's barely keeping fridge items cool (water left over night doesn't even have water condensation in the outdoor heat since it was so not cooled). You are not able to adjust the fridge temperate setting because they jammed a file clip into the dial such that it can't be moved.
Otherwise, the hotel and stay was fine.
- Steen (8/5): God udsigt. Sløj morgenmad med god kaffe - Dejligt stor værelse med udsigt til Etna.
Levede op til beskrivelsen af værelset.
At de gamle cafe møbler og balkonen ikke lige er de nyeste og komfort er diskutabel, ændre ikke på at værelse og service giver valuta for prisen.
Morgenmaden er italiensk = søde sager og uinteressant. Her mangler vi fra Norden lige lidt frisk brød, ost og måske et æg. Men Lidl ligger lige rundt om hjørnet og der er et fælles køleskab til at spæde op.
Til gengæld er kaffen god.
- Cailean (9/5): A spacious room with a majestic view. Great location with super helpful staff. - The balcony view of Etna and the Catania city scape was easily the highlight. Staff were super helpful and supportive with giving directions and providing taxi contacts - I was even allowed to check-in early after arriving on an early flight from Napoli to Catania, even providing the option of enjoying breakfast that very same morning. Even though I was travelling solo, the room was spacious enough to accommodate a couple. Bathroom facilities were clean and fully functional. AC also working and adaptable which was a big plus in summer Sicilian temperatures. Very minor points: lack of a room safe for valuables; perhaps breakfast could have included more hearty options such as cold meats and cheeses.
