Guest Reviews
- StrelkaNata (9/5): Una grande sala nel cuore di Catania - La stanza è pulita e ordinata, e ci sono un bollitore, delle tazze e un cavatappi. Si trova proprio al centro. Ad aprile non c'era più una coperta nella stanza
- Teresa (9/5): -
- Paula (10/5): -
- Emma (10/5): Brilliantly located apartment in central Catania - The property was brilliantly centrally located within walking distance of all the major tourist destinations and with view of Mt Etna from our street.
Excellent communications with Ylenia throughout and Massimo was so helpful on site.
- mauro (7/5): - La posizione, in pieno centro a Catania a ridosso della via Etnea Stanza con una piccola finestrella e poca possibilità di arieggiare. Non ho trovato neanche una bottiglietta d’acqua e per le due notti solo una mini dose di bagnoschiuma giusta per una mini doccia
- Loredana (7/5): -
- Erika (10/5): Ottima struttura in pieno centro a catania - La posizione, la pulizia e la gentilezza del personale Era tutto perfetto

- Joseph (4/5): its ok for a 1 night stay, but make sure to take ear plugs with you, very noisy street at night - The Location is perfect, the entrance is just right off Via Etnea, but the balcony is on Via Etnea. the room was clean and the shower strong, there was a kettle and some tea and a small fridge in the room The lift to the third floor was extremely dirty, the pillows where of very poor quality and was difficult to sleep, I woke up the following morning with a stiff neck. the fridge keeps going on and off and I had to unplug it to sleep. The balcony door is not double glazed therefore it is very noisy until early hours in the morning being that the balcony overlooks Via Etnea. The shower was strong, but it took a very long time for the water to get warm, and there is a pump in the bathroom which is very noisy while taking a shower.
- Catherine Yue (10/5): Absolutely a wonderful value and prime location! - You couldn't ask for a better location for this mini compact studio. It is located in the heart of city center. You can easily walk to all attractions while at night. You don't hear any noise from the street because all the shops are closed. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is well layout functioning really well. The Host is extremely friendly and responsive, epic service . Nothing, all is great!
- maria chiara (6/5): - Il letto e i cuscini comodi. La luce che filtra dalla finestra,, dato che non c'è tenda oscurante. La lampadina del lampadario che rimane semi accesa durante la notte. La pompa di scarico del bagno rumorosa e maleodorante. Il rumore della strada, ma questo non è colpa della struttura. Il resto invece potrebbe essere migliorato

- Anderson (8/5): - Location was great, it was affordable The street is noisy at night but that's because it's close to the central part of town.
- Rita (7/5): Sufficiente per brevi soggiorni - Posizione centrale.
Pulizia buona. Non è possibile tenere i bagagli dopo il checkout, noi lo abbiamo chiesto senza ottenere risposta, solo un "le faremo sapere" che non è mai arrivato.
- Carlo (8/5): catania una meta da rinnovare periodicamente - la posizione è l'ideale per visitare catania
si è nel corso principale Via Etnea e al centro con tantissimi locali per gustare prelibatezze della città
ascensore panoramico, anche se interno, molto "attraente"!!! Il sanitrit

- laia (9/5): INMEJORABLE UBICACIÓN - La ubicación inmejorable, justo al lado de la calle principal. La habitación era sencilla perocontaba con todo lo necesario. Tenía aire acondicionado, balcón e incluso nevera en la habitación. Amabilidad de la anfitriona que puso todas las facilidades tanto en el momento de check-in como del check-out con comunicación fluida por Whatsapp. Todo me gustó. Lo único, que no se podía tirar papel de WC en el baño.
- Agata (9/5): Lokalizacja w samym centrum. - Bardzo miła i kontaktowa gospodyni, możliwość zameldowania się w nocy, lokalizacja idealna - blisko metro i sklepy, wygodne łóżko. Polecam wziąć zatyczki do uszu - plusy i minusy lokalizacji ;)

- XINGLAN (9/5): - 就在卡塔尼亚主步行街附近,离坐etna火山公交的地方走路十七八钟,去哪里都可以步行到达,位置很好。价格实惠。房间里有一个小冰箱可以冰一些饮料。房间在三楼,通风采光都很好,晚上睡觉也很安静。 空调的噪音有一些大,床上的两个靠枕看起来又脏又旧
- Konstantin (10/5): Best location!!! Great price!!! Very comfortable place. - Very comfortable place in an excellent location. Great value for the money. Absolutely no complaints about anything.
- Jad (9/5): Superb -
- Mario (8/5): Very good - It's very centrally located, making most things to see, and many restaurants easily access. Not too generous with water, coffee bags and soap.
I do not like florescent lights
- Vivian (10/5): Convenient top choice for solo travelers! - Nice central location, excellent for access to the main points for sightseeing or day trips around Sicily. The cleaner cleaned the room every day and the view from the room was fantastic.There was no noise despite being located very centrally and the Insigne cafe across the hotel offered delicious and normally priced breakfast options!
- Jad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marek (8/5): Very good -

- Fang (5/5): Passable - the drain of shower is basically blocked and can only take a simply shower. No napkins inside room, was told to use toilet paper instead.
- Pavel (9/5): Superb -
- Annette (9/5): Superb -
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional - Very good location 👌 and was excellent stay ,we will come again for sure 👍 Everything especially their is an elevator 🛗
- Виктория (10/5): Exceptional -
- Patricia (8/5): Overall, a positive experience. - The location was great. Very easy to walk to major sights. Lots of restaurants nearby. The room overlooking the street had a little balcony and was as shown in pictures. There was also an elevator which made it easy to get to the property with bags. The plumbing was a bit eccentric. To drain the shower you had to flush the toilet.
The second room, on the courtyard was dark with only a small window, and, unexpectedly, a kitchen.
- Laila (9/5): Superb - Location!!
- Christopher (6/5): Fairly cheap, but not nice at all. - It cost €50 to be in the center of Catania. Not so much more than staying in a hostel. It’s not cozy whatsoever. Bathroom has bad light is not comfortable. You can hear whenever people come in from the hallway, and what they’re doing in the other room (so no audio privacy). Weird, informal way to get in where I needed to text a random number and then another woman would meet me there, but then they didn’t tell me later when the room was ready. Also, the cleaning lady tried to con me: she said that I needed to pay her the city tax, in cash, immediately because I woke up on a different day. I firmly told her, I stayed one night, I’m not going to pay twice. This is less an issue with the place, and more something to be aware of in Catania.
- Wendy (8/5): Great place in the middle of the action - central.location. right in the heart of town Check was overly confusing
- Vlad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Margaret (9/5): Comfortable room in a good location. - Small BNB in a good location, but pretty quiet. Room and bathroom were comfortable. Surprise inclusion of a small kitchen.
Very friendly and helpful staff who even organised a driver to the airport for me (thank you). Good WiFi. No real problem, but I was always a bit anxious about the lift.
- Jana (6/5): For short time is ok if you are on a budget and want to stay in centre of the city, otherwise do not recommend - Location great basically you are on a main street
There is kitchen but in the same room with bedroom Feels like everything is falling apart there, very old, needs renovation asap
In the shower mold
Also only one shampoo , for 1 time use,for 3 days stay, no shower gel nothing
Cleaning service came in while i was away, but didnt change towels, didnt clean floors, didnt bring extra shampoos, just made a bed
Hosts do not speak English, but anyway seems nice and friendly
Other thing they asked me when i will arrive, but wasnt there at time i said..
- Roman (9/5): Superb - Great location, clean room, good equipped. Soap instead of shower gel.
There is no holder for a soap in the shower.
Staff does not speak English.
- Nikolett (7/5): Good - Perfect location in the centro close to bars, shops, restaurants and famous monuments
Nice Etnea view from the balcony
Spacious room and comfortable bed The bathroom should be renovated as you could not throw toilet paper into the toilet bowl
When showering the water stayed in the tray, and needed some time to flow down
Flushing the toilet was noisy
Lack of shower gel and shampoo
- Stefanie (8/5): Nice and tidy room for a weekend getaway - Perfectly clean and unbeatable location located on the Main Street, Via Etna. Some language barriers with the host, but manageable
- Kenneth (8/5): Great Value Stay in Catania - Location, quiet, & clean Shower
- Elizabeth (10/5): All the conveniences in a room :) - Very central , owner very helpful & all the amenities at hand inside the room .
When you walk outside , it's at the centre of everything. Clean, .quiet . Wifi no problem..
Besides having a kitchen in the room, It has a spacious shower . Also loved all the little conveniences like shelves in the bathroom & practical aids in drawers.
Also, charger port close to both sides of bed & other places.
Having a lift made things much easier too.
Loved it, great stay. Nothing. Loved it.
- Pui (6/5): A bit noisy but value for money - It's near amenities and it's clean The noise from the street
- Ewa (9/5): Perfect location for a stay in Catania! - Everything was great - the location, the staff, the place itself was clean and practical The location!
- Rūta (9/5): Very lovely stay in a perfect location - The location was excellent, everything was in a walking distance. The host was very lovely and helpful with any questions I had. The room was very clean (it was cleaned every day) and all the appliances were working perfectly. It even had a little kitchen and a kettle with some complimentary tea and coffee, which was perfect for someone traveling on a budget. The building also has a lift which is great for accessibility. The only downside of this property is that there was no sound isolation at all, so you could hear everything that happened in other rooms and the corridor. I was also very unlucky and during my stay there was a baby in another room who woke up every night and cried (I could hear the guardian shushing the child) and some other people who slammed the front door which, unless one uses the key provided, is hard to shut. Everything else was perfect though, so I would come back to stay here :)
- Laura (9/5): Perfect Location in heart of Catania - Location Need a thicker blanket to sleep
- Paul (7/5): Good -
- Minako (8/5): Okay. - Room Size and bed are nice.
I try to get hot water on the shower,let it running for more than 3 minutes, never gotten hot. There are hot water coming in the sink. So maybe the knob of the shower is broken.?? Anyway if winter I would never stay here. No guidelines or instructions inside of the room.
Any thing to do for the shower?
How to return the key?
Évacuation plan?
Other case of contacting other than what’s app?
- Naomi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Александър (7/5): Ok - It was clean Nothing common with artist home, nothing artistic there, old looking room
- Agnieszka (10/5): Perfect for short trip , perfect location and sunny room - Perfect location No coffee
- Réka (9/5): Great stay ☀️ - Great, central location, which makes it easy to discover the town.😎 I had my own mini kitchen within the room and the shower/wc were also part of the room, which made my stay comfortable and private. The AC was a great help to make the room warmer, when I needed that.
The host was really nice to give me the option to check in in the evening. It was noisy, because of the construction work in the building, but if you bring your earplugs with you, as I did, you can have a good night sleep. 😴
- Šubrt (8/5): Very good - Check-in/out independency, locality not far from the city center, communication with the owner
- Gloriya (10/5): Exceptional -
