10/10 Exceptional

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.
Andrew, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is a nice spot, especially traveling alone. Very inexpensive dormitory accommodations. Staff and guests were friendly and relaxed, and common areas are pleasant. The area around is excellent, near a cooperative bookstore and wine bar and the excellent museum at Castillo Ursino. Very congenial—not much privacy and no frills lodgings, but a good experience.

We booked this private room for one night as was cheaper to stay closer to the airport, than to use an airport shuttle service from our original location. We weren’t expecting much due to the cheap nature of the space, but basic and clean accommodation should be minimum. The bed itself was extremely uncomfortable, we could not use the thick pillows. There was grime all over the floor, we actually wore shoes inside after I noticed my white socks becoming discoloured wearing inside. The window was broken and could not be closed properly so all the noise from outside at night came into our room. There were people slamming doors and talking for hours at night outside our window/in the hostel. The hostel is located in a dodgy looking area. Would be suitable for very young travellers who are not intending to sleep much…

The property was neat and well maintained by the employees each day. The only thing that was somewhat dirty was my bear feet in the publicly shared kitchen after stepping through.
Ginger, 9-night trip

6/10 Good

For the price it is ok for 1 night. Super tiny room which had a very odd odor which we couldn't get rid off so we had to keep the window open all night, which resulted in very limited amount of sleep due to the noise outside.

4/10 Fair

Last night when we checked in, I specifically asked the front desk staff if there were bed bugs, as I had seen many negative reviews mentioning them. The staff assured me that there was no need to worry, saying that it was a summer issue and that they had cleaned thoroughly, so there were no more bed bugs. To my surprise, that night I was bitten by bed bugs all over my body, causing severe itching that was unbearable and left me unable to sleep. It’s already October, and the fact that there are still bed bugs is simply unbelievable! Moreover, we didn’t have a blanket, only a very thin sheet, and it was unexpectedly cold at night. The next day, after we checked out, we wanted to use the restroom, but the cleaning staff was quite impatient. In conclusion, we will never come back to this place. In the future, we definitely won’t compromise on accommodations just to save money and end up in a hotel like this. (The front desk staff was polite, but the cleaning staff had just finished cleaning and, after learning that we had checked out, said we couldn’t use the restroom. We asked to use it, and she reluctantly agreed, showing impatience.) Additionally, we had to pay an extra €2.5 to store our luggage until 3 p.m., which is understandable, although most hotels offer this service for free.

Bad experience, won’t come back
Terrible hostel, we couldn’t even stand up in the room. Bathroom was very dirty (someone shaved the beard and left the dirty behind).
LEONARDO, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Natalia was absolutely lovely, friendly and helpful. Nice little courtyard. Recommended taxi to airport arrived early and was great! Kitchen locked so we were not able to grab our food when we departed on our early flight so we hope someone is able to enjoy it. Our tiolet seat was broken but just a simple fix. I would recommend as it is a neat hostel with all the amazing painting everywhere.

They didn't answer to me at phone at 9 p.m! It was impossible for me to get there even though I had paid before. I had to find an another accomodation for the night.

Place is ok, stuff od cery nice! Matrace can kill you during one night. Its like you sleep in nest. Its impossible 😭 But the worst the loud. No privacy at all! Sounds like somebody peeing in your room at night. Sleeping and your hostel impossible to connect. Its 3 just for place near center and cleaning. Level of noise its -1
Maria, 7-night trip

First of all, the number to the property that is given in the app doesn’t work. The after we came to the hostel we were told that despite the fact that they accepted our reservation and on Expedia wrote that the room is suitable for 4 people, they don’t have place for us. They send us to the other hostel, which was far away from city center, the room had such a low ceiling that we all had to walk around it bending down.

Hotel from Hell!!
Nightmare hotel! No working ac at all just blows got air in the room around. I spent the night sleeping in the small shower so I could turn on child water every 15min. Extremely noisy street like a cars engine is revving inches from your ear. Late check in and manager leaves at night. After he left so many people came in to the room next to mine. Loud in the common area followed by crying babies all night long. Not one ounce of rest here.
Matt, 1-night trip

Don’t deserve any stars
It is the worst hostel I’ve ever been to. Rooms don’t look like on photo from ad. My room was on first floor, totally disaster. I couldn’t stand straight because of the sloping ceiling, small and dirty. I could hear everything that was going on in the corridor and other rooms (even someone snoring). Bathroom shared, low standard and again not clean. Check in is only till midnight and because my flight was delayed I had to pay for a late check in 10€. The receptionist ask for pay, quickly showed me a room, and left. Didn’t even informed where bathroom was. After one night, or actually few hours I change hotel for Efesto B&B and I was glad I did it. If you’re planning to stay there ask for a room on ground floor, it might be better.
Agata, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The receptionist ladies are very, very nice, but I only gave 3 stars in the staff category because this hostel has the worst cleaning person I have ever met out of over 100 hostels I have stayed in. One time she yelled and screamed at me, I would not feel bad if she just peacefully talked to me. Another time, while another lady guest and I were having breakfast in the kitchen, this cleaning lady complained: the stove needs to be cleaned, the toastor needs to be cleaned, then she repeated the same words while looking at the other lady guest, and then she repeated again while looking at me. Actually we didn't cook, we just warmed up some leftover food, the stove and toaster were in the same condition as when checked in (not very clean), the cleaning staff should have cleaned them, but she asked us to clean up. Before I met this cleaning lady, I told the receptionist lady that I would come back in 8 days before I fly away from Catania. Since I don't want to see this cleaning lady again, I didn't go back to this hostel. She really should learn some hospitality from the receptionist ladies.
Suying, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Well the good points first: I see they do make regular efforts to keep the place clean there are cool art installations on all the walls the location is very central The downsides: (buckle in) it’s extremely claustrophobic, it’s hard to even navigate between the bunks without sticking your knee in your neighbour’s face. I’m not all that big but I couldn’t sit in the bottom bunk without hitting my head, & there wasn’t space for everyone’s things to go. The kitchen/ small common room area hours are pretty limiting. And one whole day staff were overhauling the space, with stuff absolutely everywhere and were painting the chairs- so the space couldn’t be used even in opening hours to grab a quick bite. *Some of my food was stolen The street sounds of bars and traffic are SUPER loud at night WORST of all: One of the guests in our room had a medical emergency in the middle of the night while he was sleeping. Luckily others noticed and together managed to call an ambulance and get him medical attention….so it was very fortunate everyone collectively had the skills, maturity, and language abilities to deal with the situation. But what completely shocked me is that there is NO NIGHT TIME STAFF- (not even an on-call emergency phone number listed anywhere) to get ahold of any staff in an extreme situation like this!!!! (And I was looking everywhere). We just dealt with the situation ourselves and tried to go back to sleep after the paramedics left. Incredible lack of care.
