Owner is very friendly and goes above and beyond to help. Space was sufficient and clean, conveniently located. Elevators onsite so no need to carry your luggage through stairwells.
This B&B doesn’t have any signage but upon arrival the owner showed up and brought us to the correct floor and helped us get settled in.

Nice property has all the facilities and station and centre are all walking distance. Just bare in mind that if your staying there on a weekend that there is a festival going on until 12am in the nearby park.

I had a fantastic little room with a balcony and a very kind and caring host. Тhere was a lovely view of Etna from the breakfast room. The only problem was the neighbour's dog (the hotel is on one floor in an apartment building) which kept barking, even through the night.

Good location
Owner is very friendly but speaks no English. We were able to communicate with Google translate. Room was great and I had a perfect view of Mt. Etna.
Breakfast was not the best. Owner's son asked us what we wanted for breakfast the next day but did not give us what we asked for. Wifi did not work in all the rooms.
Hotel is in a great location

Siamo stati benissimo. La camera era ampia, luminosa e ditata di tutti i comfort. Colazione ottima e abbondante con vista sull'Etna. Il signor Carmelo e suo figlio Marco gentilissimi, ci hanno dato tanti consigli utili su come muoverci nella zona, cosa visitare e dove mangiare. Il B&B si trova in pieno centro, e tutti i posti da vedere in città sono raggiungibili a piedi. Torneremo sicuramente.

The host was very friendly and tried to help. He had minimal English so used a translator on his phone. The property was not where it was shown on hotels.com. Instead of being on the square by the metro it was about a quarter of a mile away from the location listed in the direction away from the city center. It did have a bus stop outside the door.

Nice owner. Perfect place for a short stay( I stayed one night). Not a ton of amenities but has the basics. Only problem is the WiFi does t work consistently which is a problem if your an international visitor.

Room was amazing with great service by the host.
However mosquitoes are the issue and they can shorten your good night sleep.

I truly recommend this place
I loved this place!! The location is perfect. It's near all the main sites. The room was super clean. The bed was comfortable. Carmelo was a great host!! He's a very nice man. Just right outside the entrance is the bus stop to the airport. The breakfast was simple but very good. I would definitely stay here again. I hope to return in the future.

Tväka inte att boka
Det kändes som att man kommit hos nära släkting . Värd var otrolig hjälpsam med allt, från och med att vänta på oss vid bus stationen vid ankomst tom att lämna lägenhetsnycklar till oss for att hämta vår baggage vid avgång. Vi kunde själv bestäma vad vill vi äta för frukost och han ordnade detta. Rumet och badrumet var rena bekväma och i utmärkt skick säng bekvämt ,en tjusigt balkong med utsikt mot Vesuvio . Lägenheten finns på huvudgsta i Catania men det är lungt på kvällen. Rekomenderas hjärtlig.

Helt ok
Bra läge på via Etnea. Hållplats för flygbuss direkt utanför entrén. Trevlig värd som tyvärr inte pratar engelska. Ingen frukostbuffé, utan värden fixar enligt önskemål. Ingen riktig hotellentre så det kan vara svårt att hitta första gången, men värden kom direkt efter telefonsamtal. Finns balkonger med utsikt över staden och mot Etna. Rent och fint rum. Överlag bra och prisvärt.
