This accommodation had a great location, central and close to great restaurants and sight seeing. The staff & service was excellent. I did not have the breakfast so I can't speak to that. The room quality was average. Needs an update/refresh. Street noise was very loud on busy street and difficult to sleep soundly.

15-20 minutes away from the train/bus station (walking), 3-10 minutes walk to city center sights. Lots of good restaurants nearby. Safe area and B&B. Very very nice staff 😊 with great ideas on what to do there. Stayed in the family room #1 (3 beds). Fridge, kettle, tea/coffee. Comfortable beds. A/C. Nice terrace overlooking inside garden and old lava wall. Breakfast 10 euro. Bags storage in the dining room. 2-3 flights of stairs to bedrooms/shared kitchen/ dining room (no elevator). Used WhatsApp to communicate. Will stay here again 👍

Owner was very friendly and made sure we were taken care of and had why we needed. He was extremely helpful with information and suggestions about visiting the area. Location was perfect, just a 3 block walk to the main dining and shopping area, not to mention all the historical sites that were truly breathtaking

A very bad experience

I don't know what organization is grading accommodations with stars in Catania, but this is not a 3-star accommodation... barely a 1-star, if at all. The place is old, dirty and in very poor condition. It needs complete renovation. In addition, the bed has broken springs, the pillows are hard and not really useable and the shower is partly clogged. The room does not look at all as it is shown in the photo. We paid in advance, so we had to stay there, but this place should not be listed in hotels.com. The only good thing is that it is located very close to Piazza del Duomo.

Unser Zimmer war sehr schön und immer sehr sauber (sehr gute Matratze) . Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen und haben viele tolle Tipps erhalten. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Uns hat es gut gefallen. Tolles Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Einziger Nachteil, das parken in der Straße würde ich nicht empfehlen und zudem ist es kostenpflichtig.

Bien No demasiado limpio El señor muy amable Los colchones con unos pelotones difíciles para dormir y entraba mucha luz por la puerta , a la mañana temprano fácilmente solucionable con una cortina que permita oscurecer la zona por la noche Zona inmediata a la ópera (300 metros ) pero bastante mal ambiente alrededor No ha sido la mejor experiencia

We did not like the steps we had with this property. With luggage, it was very hard to climb. We had AT LEAST 30. The staff was very nice. A " nominal fee" for taxi to the airport was $50. I cannot recommend this place.
