    The owner went out of his way to meet us and welcome when we arrived quite late after a delayed flight. The room was clean, spacious, and in a great location. Right in the main street, 10 minutes walk from the sights. Bus stops were nearby. Most of all, the breakfast was brilliant. Great value.

    The host is super friendly and responsive. I think he listens to people's feedback and improves the property and the service. Even though the host didn't speak English, it wasn't a problem to communicate with the help of a translator. The full proper breakfast was served by the host, including fresh pastries bought on his way to the property. We lived in a quadruple room and didn't notice anything bad. Overall, the property and its host made a positive impression on us.

    Everything was perfect for our stay

    Delightful B & B with a very welcoming atmosphere. We enjoyed the delicious breakfast including a variety of Sicilian pastries. The location was perfect to explore the city, a short walk down into the centre for our family with two children. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The owner was so kind and helpful.

    They were very kind to us. We were due to stay at another property but that was cancelled last minute as we were arriving too late as our flight was delayed. We were able to check in here after midnight and park our car nearby with only a few hours notice. We were able to check out 20 minutes late to catch up on some sleep. We felt very grateful to have stayed here.

    If you are not used to the layout of older Italian buildings with their cavernous ground floor entryways with a portone, you might be shocked at first with its cave-like qualities, but I kind of like this kind of building.

    The location is great- right across the street from the airport bus stop and the major sights to see are a short walk away. The host was welcoming and generous and the room comfortable and quiet.

    Papali is very conveniently located, opposite a stop for the airport shuttle. Our small room had everything we needed, and the well-fitting windows and shutters blocked virtually all street noise. Our made a great effort to spoil us, getting our room ready long before the scheduled time at no extra charge, and keeping our luggage after check out until we were ready to fly home.

    very central, bus stop to airport in front of the house, very friendly owner, owner helped to carry suitcase up to the first floor, we could check in early and on leaving we could leave our luggage there until we had to go to the airport. when the windows were closed u couldn’t hear the busy road. good breakfast. very clean, good shower.

    Great location in Via Etnea which is essentially the main street of Catania. Most of the attractions and shops were a walking distance from the door. Also the bus station is just in the front sidewalk. Carmelo is a great owner and he prepared amazing breakfast every morning. He is always present and ready to help and answers your question. Great hospitality! The rooms were extremely clean and the bed was comfortable. Very recomended.
