Cheap hostel with all facilities you need. Ten minutes walk from the Cathedral and the University. Perfect place to approach Catania and its neighborhood. Recommended.

Definitly best hostel in Sicily. Good price, not bad localization. When we arrived the was a problem with our reservation (in 5 dorm), so we were offered with double room in the same price! Have you ever seen enything like this? Best thing I've ever seen- courtains on the beds! keeps ypur privacy great! And stuff is the best I've ever seen. You just talk with them like with old friends, no ruch, no problem. Horacio! "masz 5 miarek trawki?":):):):)

Hostel Catania was the perfect place to base my weekend trip to Catania. With friendly staff and good facilities I have no complaints for this hostel. It took me a little to find the place (make sure you know where you are going beforehand as the buses run infrequently) but once arrived the staff all know the area well enough to give you a rough but good guide of what's to offer in the city and surrounds. It's clean and well looked after :) Thanks to Marcello and staff!

The best hostel in Catania, trust me I've dealt with them all! This one is further from the train station but well worth making the effort for. It's clean & well appointed, includes free breakfast, and in a good & very interesting part of the city. You can see lots of local life here and there are tens of shops nearby to get any food or supplies you need. The owners & staff are really good at giving all the information you need about trips & sights too. Perfetto! SenorSunset - www.TravelFree.li

This hostel is very clean and the staff is helpful...there are kids that run around and yell late at night and early in the morning, so it was difficult to sleep...the guys and girls showers are sepparete and there's plenty of hot water...the wifi was free if you have your own device but the connection was not the greatest...laundry and dryer was €6...they told me after I did my laundry and when I checked out
