Verified review

4/10 Fair

Where to start? - The bathrooms were not up to scratch. The showers flooded incredibly quickly, the sink taps were broken in one of the bathrooms, and in the other bathroom the toilet was blocked. - The room was dirty and there was dust and hairs in the drawers - At check out time, no one is available at reception and the cleaning staff that were around were rude and unhelpful. They tried to rush us out our room before check out time. - On the up side, the place is in a good location.

Nice hostel, good location, friendly staff. Only downside is that you pay extra for a locker (which I think should be a basic need in any hostel).

Verified review

2/10 Poor

The facilities are very good, the rooms and bathrooms are nice. There's air conditioning, sheets, and pillowcases, but the service is brusque and rude. You can't use anything, not even the bathroom, before check-in at 1:30 PM or after check-out at 10:30 AM. I'd even say they're ill-mannered. I only returned to check in after 6:30 PM when it was a different person than the one who had rudely attended to me in the morning. But also in the same tone, they replied that I couldn't use anything after check-out when I asked if I could shower. It was quite curious to reply not rudely and then jokingly say that showering was allowed before 10:30 AM. It wasn't even 10:30 AM yet, and when I arrived at the room, my things had already been removed from the bed to change the sheets. I complained that my time using the space wasn't up yet, and the person was rude. I complained because it was more than 5 minutes before 10:30 and I put my things back on the bed. She didn't like it and kept arguing. It seems she doesn't understand the guest's needs and doesn't respect them. Furthermore, I must mention that on the night of 2026-09-04 while using the kitchen, I noticed a cockroach on the stove. I called the receptionist and asked her to look at it. She saw it and gave me some leaves to kill the insect. She said she would inform her boss. But in the morning, nothing was explained to me, nor was there any apology. On the contrary, she even threw my things off the bed. I DO NOT RECOMMEND

Loved the artwork on the property, friendly staff checked me in and made me feel welcome in Catania right away, it was my first time visiting so they recommended me some good things to do such as visit mount Etna. I wouldn't mind staying here again, social area met some cool people from all around the world. All in all this was a positive experience (:

Good place for short stays or budget accommodation. Close to centre and bus services. Plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance. Facilities were good and cleaned daily. Staff were very helpful, the head cleaner is a bit abrupt but she just wants to get the cleaning done on time.

Total amount to be paid incl. taxes according Hotels.com was 208 euros. Could not pay in advance, had to pay at the hotel. They charged me 12 euros extra upon arrival. Explained it was a kind of tax. Allways skeptical when Hotels.com can’t charge the total amount. I experience that chosen hotel charge even more upon arrival. Happened last year as well in Marrakesh.
