Being encouraged by BnB owner to book a Mt Etna tour through a 2nd rate tour company (Lemon Tours) . Old old falling apart vehicle & a bit poor quality overall. We then did another day trip elsewhere to Mt Etna & Taorima with other company and was very impressed.

Staff were nice and friendly and asisted all the time. Clean. Good breakfast. Location good and a short walk to cafes and sightseeing

Not all sockets in the room were accessible. The toilet was difficult to access because of the oversized sink.

Very nice arrangement of rooms and terrace around a courtyard. Super friendly, kind and helpful host. Excellent location for restaurants, sightseeing and transport. Good self catering facilities.

Did not like the noise from the street in the morning and night, the windows do not isolate enough the noise.

Good location, very close to the center and to Catania Centrale.

Would not suit very elderly or disabled because of the stairs. No safe available which I would have preferred

Great location in the City Centre Cooking facilities available. Very quiet in the courtyard.

The facility was astonishingly close to the city center. Costantino and his family has hosted us as best as he could do, giving us a lot of information about the town and all the experiences we could do.

It's not negative, just a heads-up: the B&B is on the 2nd floor and you can only go up stairs without an elevator. The staff is very nice and offers help with carrying your luggage. Anyway, from what I have observed, most of the buildings in the old parts of the cities in Sicily are built like this. The room we had (suite Bellini) was with a kind of loft with stairs up to a double bed, with a small kitchen below. For 3 people, the space was quite tight, it didn't look like the space viewed on the website (for other rooms). Not that comfortable for storage and moving around. The only part we didn't like was the bad smell in the room and the sewer smell in the bathroom. They tried to alleviate it with a room freshener, but it still felt unpleasant. In the bathroom, it's probably because of a poorly made drain. It feels almost all the time, even though there is ventilation and an open window. I'm sure it's just our room, from what I've seen on the website the other rooms look better, I haven't heard of any problems.

Very friendly and nice staff! We arrived in Catania in the morning and were pleasantly surprised that we could stay right away! Really appreciate it a lot! I received all the information about Catania and its surroundings and made it easy to book a trip to Etna and Alcantara. It's on steps away from Catania's old town and attractions. We stayed 4 days and visited Catania, Etna, Noto and Syracusa with Ortigia. Although they had an Italian breakfast, I also had an omelette on the menu! Very good sanitary conditions, shower with pressure and hot water without problems. Clean towels, clean room and surroundings, air conditioning, all facilities, with a pleasant atmosphere, in the city center. Many thanks!

Road noise

Very friendly staff, great breakfast, fridge in the room, very clean, pretty interior terrace.

Very noisy traffic on the street outside and quite fumey if the balcony was open. One of our rooms was next to the breakfast room so no chance of sleeping late! Difficult to park and drop off bags and lots of steps. The area is close to a bit of a rough neighbourhood.

Very friendly staff and a warm welcome. Peaceful little courtyard and some outside space which was nice. Great omelette for breakfast. Kettle in the room and a big fridge. Close to the centre of town.

The shower was absolutely tiny. Expensive for what it was.

The hotel was a quick walk from the train station and close to the historic centre. Just round corner from a beautiful piazza. Very close to bars, restaurants, etc. It was an ordinary room up a flight of stairs.

Close to the railway and old centre. Sitting out on the terrace was great.

The surrounding area is quite sad, full of graffiti so looks like a grotto, but in saying this we felt pretty safe to walk every where. Poor old Catania needs some serious love. my only comment about the room is wear air plugs if your sensitive to traffic noise and bring your own soft pillow if you don’t like hard ones.

loved the old building High ceiling and of course Constantino was so kind and helpful.

No complaints :)

The location is very close to the center, also close to the train station. The room was spacious, with big enough bathroom with good shower, all very clean. We got the room cleaned everyday. The owner and the staff were also very nice, they provided useful information on the sightseeing opportunities and they were very friendly.

Our room was to the front of the building and this was extremely noisy, especially on Saturday! The whole room needs refreshing, quite a few marks on the walls and the shower needs replacing, had to use our flip flops as the tray was very stained.

The staff are very keen to assist and advise on where to eat / visit. Excellent breakfast at additional cost set in the courtyard a far cry from the noise out the front of the building. The room was cleaned and towels changed daily and location is near to the centre, less than a five minute walk.

Check-in after 21 would cost 15€ extra. Breakfast at 8 next to our room was quite loud.

Clean room with a beautiful floor, and with a nice bathroom. Central location close to the train station.
