Lovely owners. Very welcoming.

Very convenient and friendly staff. Perfect as a bolt-hole in Catania

Marco and Guilia are wonderful hosts and very accommodating!

The hotel is in a great location, was very clean and the hosts were lovely. Could not fault in that respect. Unfortunately the room smelt musty and the air con was positioned above the head of the bed (by the ceiling) which was a little disheartening. The absolutely worst was the bed which I have to say was truly uncomfortable. I don't write these faults easily as everything else was 5 stars.

We had a wonderful stay at this property- very clean and had everything we wanted. Host was amazing. So close to all the major sights! Definitely would go back.

Great hotel. Perfect location - walkable to everything. facilities were basic but clean and comfortable, air conditioning was excellent and it was a hot night for this time of year. Parking was secure so you didn’t have to worry about your vehicle on the street (gated parking lot). Biggest differentiator was the truly amazing hosts. Chiara and her husband were so welcoming and, in particular, so kind to our children. Amazing value for money, perfect for a shorter stay in Catania.

Beautiful, clean and central

The staff provided excellet service and was extremilly helpfull.

Marco and Chiara helped us out of a tight spot, calling and negotiating with taxis on our behalf after a very short-notice flight diversion. They couldn't have been more sympathetic or helpful. They restored us with coffee, and even checked up on us afterwards.

This is a family owned property, perfectly located, 3 minutes walking from the Cathedral and Via Eatna, the main street. The room offers everything you need for a great stay: comfortable bed with air conditioner, great bathroom with its own water heater and amenities. The owner Marco goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay and have what you need, to the extend of offering to get us meds at the pharmacy when my wife was not feeling well. You're treated as family by Marco. I highly recommend his hotel and will return on my next vacation.

Great location for walking and a great price, but left a lot to be desired. The side street walk up wasn't great, but that isn't really much of an issue. The staff was nice and friendly, room was well sized and in good shape. But the bed was rock hard and the first night I barely slept. If you can't deal with hard beds, you need to avoid this place. The shower uses a very small heater that only allows for a few minutes of a hot shower. The staff did not make it clear to us how the shower worked, so the first nice I took a freezing cold shower and slept on a rock hard bed. My girlfriend showered first, not knowing about the limited water. After a 5-10 minute shower, we were out of hot water. When we got it working the second day, the showers were short and the water was either boiling hot or ice cold. It was terrible. Considering how important a warm shower is, this ruined my experience. Aside from that, the bed was cheap, hard and terrible. The staff was VERY friendly and nice and did the best they could, but it was't enough. The maid opened our door at 930am without knocking while we were laying in bed. Walls were paper thin. Really *could* have been nice, but it just wasn't. Will not return.

Host Marco was excellent. This is my second stay here. I highly recommend this place.

Marco was excellent, he made check in/out easy and smooth. He was also very friendly, and informative, The location was excellent as well as the rooms. I would stay here again on my next visit and highly recommend this hotel.

I'm not the kind of person who needs much from a room. If you want all kinds of extras that are usually unnecessary then keep looking. If you want a clean place that's comfortable, good air conditioner, excellent location, and with friendly helpful hosts, then book this place. I can't stress enough how good a location this place is, you are probably no more than a 12 minute walk from just about every major site in the city. And if friendly hosts matter to you, people you can talk to and ask advice from etc, then you won't get better.

Awesome personalized customer service. Room very clean and hotel centrally located to walk everywhere

A diamond in the rough? Neighborhood is a little sketchy, but site is well managed by on-site residents and convenient.

Fantastic location. Right in the historic city centre near the famoous Teatro Bellini, wirh excellent restaurants virtually on the door stop. Grear base for walking the historic centre. 1 min to St Agatha's, the Cathedral, 3mins to the famouse fish market. Host hss eccellent English ans is very accomodating. Basic but excellent. I would not hesitate in recommending.

The owners are wonderful, helpful and friendly. The hotel, in an old building in a neighborhood which ia on the edge and a bit off putting, is quite comfortable and convenient, being around the corner from the opera house and near to the Duomo. A 15 minute walk to the train station. The room was simple, large and very clean.If you're on a budget this is a great place to stay, It won't be for everyone, but for us was just right. And as I said the owners are great.

The place was not stylish but was clean, practical, and well-located, and owned by a husband and wife of the finest character. I arrived after an extremely stressful, long and tiring journey after a tour bus mixup resulted in me hiking over 10 miles in the sun with insufficient food and water. I was stressed out, emotional and exhausted. The owners were kind, compassionate, and reasuring, and sent me to freshen up, rehydrate, and get some rest. In the morning they helped me to reconnect with my daughter who had gotten stuck in the airport overnight and send us off to a local place for a delicious meal, some light sightseeing, and with instructions to have some relaxation and fun - with minimal exertion (no long hikes) for at least a day or so! The place lacked sophistication, but I wouldn't have stayed anywhere else. You can't put a price on kindness, caring, and true hospitality.

Excellent location a few steps away from the opera! Excellent hosts, helpful, kind, and welcoming! Definitely a place to stay in your trip to The incredible Catania! Thank you!
