Quirky place with a great vibe. Old building and old fittings which of course means plenty of idiosyncrasies. Good value in the centre of town.

Good but if you have mobility issues, the stairs can be tricky. The shower was kind of nuts. Very friendly staff though, and really convenient location, lots of charm and character to the place. (I was really looking forward to a nice shower the day I checked it, so I was disappointed, but overall the stay was cozy and nice.)

What a rare gem this hotel was. It's like stepping back into time (and space). So many beautiful details everywhere. Location to die for as well. The owner/host was such a lovely gentleman too. 11/10. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Catania.

The gentleman checking me in was extremely nice and did his best to help. But parking was a major issue as always in the city though the listing stated parking. The garage I paid for was only a 8 minute walk but with luggage was difficult. The lot across the street from the hotel was open to public first come first serve.

Wonderful stay in Catania on the way to Modica, not anticipated but a little difficult for mobility restricted traveler due to many steps instead of an elevator. The hospitality was delightful! Grazie Mille

Wonderful people, as my plane did not leave until 6 pm, the let me stay until 3.30 pm even though check out was at 11 am 😃 As a solo traveller the neighborhood felt safe, everything was in walking distance and the view from the balcony was mesmerizing.

Not for anyone with mobility issues.

The area was central to everything so very handy. However we didn't realise that there were 59 steps from the front door to reception and our room! 3 times a day we climbed these stairs. There was a hoist half way up for luggage which was located outside an open window so be careful if you have children or are unsteady on your feet. The people were very friendly.

This hotel is quite quirky and may not be to everyones taste but i thought it was fab. Yes, it has a lot of steps to get to it but it keeps you fit and i liked the pulley system to get your luggage up outside the building. The room is spacious and clean with a few old artefacts. The shower in our room was small but lots of hot water and fluffy towels. Breakfast was ok. Location was great as right in centre and ten minute walk to market or five minutes the other way for pubs and restaurants. Being in the centre there was some noise of traffic and late night revellers but not excessive. Great value.
