There was a double booking when I booked my accommodation here, and so I actually didn’t stay in the end. They were very apologetic and even drove me to the other hostel (stopping for a bite to eat along the way). From what I saw, it seemed like a nice, clean and modern place to stay. It’s a short walking distance from the train station, but maybe a little far from the city centre. Catania is a great place to stay !

It got everything you needed for a good hostel, except ONE thing... A FAN! It's sooo hot in Sicily, I understand they dun want to have air con on all time but a few fans would do the job! also the room is a little crowd the air con is not cooling enough, again, a few fans will help Alot. Other than that, it's a perfect hostel, clean n very very nice staff :)

We are really sorry taht you felt yourself uncomfortable for the hot, because there is always the remote in the dorm, so you can turn on the air conditioning whenever you want. Just don't be too shy the next time! :)

I sent an email appr. 12 days before check-in regarding the arrival, departure and payment. When we arrived, the receptionist already gave our room to someone else. She stated, she had sent me an email in June regarding new CC details and it is was our fault that we lost the room- in reality there was no email at all, and she has confirmed our booking as well! She just lied. At least she offered a taxi free of charge to another hostel, but the quality was very poor. Tittina82 / Krisztina Nacsa

Hi, as I wrote you in the email I sent you, we are really sorry for what was happen to you. I think I should mention, the fact, that not only the taxi was paid but the accomodation in the B&B near the main square too. What's more, I don't think it's correct to give us the minimum score for things you've never seen, such as cleanliness or fun. But anyway, as I wrote in the email to you, you'll be always welcome here and have one night in the doubble room gratis. Hope to see you again!

This is an amazing, clean, knd-of-boutique hostel. You will love the design and how clean it is. Beside location is really good, very close to bus & train station and downtown. Totally recomendable.

its a great hostel, clean, close to the center, you have everything what you expect, except the uncomfortable beds, kitchen is opened for a limited time, and not so much fun, expect the friday friendly dinner. but highly recommended knowing the other hostels in Sicily.

Hi, we are really pleased you've spent your time in our hostel. We would like to announce, that the kitchen will be open non-stop starting form the 1th october :) For us It's only the first step to be even better place to stay. Hope to see you again!

Very nice youth hostel in this town, very nice atmosphere, and very clean. The location is not the best though : very central, but not far from some weird places. So when you go there, walk directly from the station, and then ask for some recommandation.

Quite a fun hostel. Social friday dinner is nice - the owner cooks for all the current residents and we all went out after for a few drinks, along with the staff. Bedrooms and bathrooms are clean, as is the shared kitchen which has good facilities to cook while you're there. Quite a good location - close to everything but not too in the centre. Good into by the staff when you first get there showing you the main sights in the town on a map as well as good places to eat.

nice, small hostel, laid back, more like staying at someone's house. few issues - beds were very uncomfortable. kitchen closes at night so you cant even get water to drink. every little thing you do costs extra, made the place seem a bit cheap(scabby). in a big old beautiful building, in a rough area, whores out front peddling their thing.. but the view of mt etna was amazing. staff were lovely especially sario.

In the 19 euro a day for a bed we included air coinditioned, kitchen, pay-tv, friday friendly dinner, wifi, locker, luggage, tea time, linen...well try to do better. About the kitchen the policy will change from october. Anyway we hope to see you again :)
