Es un buen hostel, muy bonito y con una muy buena ubicación. Habitaciones limpias y grandes. Si acaso lo único el baño, que podría ser más grande. Pero 100% recomendable.

Nice location and ambiance. However, the double bed in the private room is rickety and it was impossible to sleep comfortably. Also a bit noisy around 7 in the morning when people take showers and use the loud hairdryer

Amazing location, huge comfortable beds, nice staff, beautiful common areas. Very secluded but close to everything. Highly recommended for any length of stay

Best hostel in Catania, no question, the staff were personable and really helpful especially as I was leaving the morning of the 2nd largest festival in the Roman Catholic Church. I don't speak a word of Italian and my phone wouldn't call through anything but WhatApp and they really helped me arrange a taxi to get me to the airport well on time.

The hostel is designed and beautiful. However there are few things not very good, like only one big share bathroom,one girl and one boy fare from bedroom,pretty cold in winter since nothing is heated, bedroom has AC warm but bathroom and hallway and kitchen cold. It was supposed to be price all included by Hostelworld but I have to pay more at the reception and they didn't apologize, like it was my fault...not very nice.

I stayed in a single room, and it smelled very bad. The staff was unfriendly. I forgot my watch in the room, sent an email asking them to check, and received no response at all.

Soggiorno che ricorderò come una bella esperienza 🤗 Struttura molto carina e curata, pulizia, gentilezza e disponibilità dei ragazzi che gestiscono la struttura, ottima posizione in città, letti comodi ad una piazza e mezza. Sono stata fortunata con le ragazze che ho trovato in camerata ed è stato bello chiacchierare con gli ospiti presenti in quei giorni anche nelle altre camere. Tornerei con molto piacere ❤️

Ubicación buena, incluso dentro del jardín está bien indicado por donde hay que ir. El espacio es muy chulo y se nota que está construido con cariño. Fui en temporada baja y el hostel tenía poca "vida" y también estaba todo muy limpio. Recomendable 100%

Very nice hostel tucked away in the heart of Catania, it's like a secret garden in the middle of a bustling city. The staff were very nice, the bed was comfortable, the bathrooms were clean (although there was no soap in the women's bathroom for the duration of my stay, but that's an easy point to overlook). The vibes were great 👌 as a solo female traveller I felt very safe staying here, and I got to meet some very cool people! The kitchen was also well-equipped, the bar sounded like fun too.

I stayed in a private room and it was so peaceful! I felt safe, clean, and comfortable the whole time. My only ill thought was the lack of things to do in the common area. It was a beautiful place, but no games or instruments or things to do to bring people together. I didn't stay long, but I wish there were more people out and about. I think if there were activities, it would bring people together. I will say, if you want a chill place to stay, I would recommend here

the hostel overall was great! the staff were good, rooms were clean, the kitchen was useful and i met some amazing people here! i really liked the outdoor spaces and that there were some drying racks to air dry my clothes. I also loved how they had curtains for bunk beds. my only feedback would be the bathroom situation. there was no privacy to change or to have your own space really to shower.

Very good hostel. Large and confortable beds. Large and clean bathroom. More hangers are needed in the room for our jackets. Also no bedside table… we have nowhere to store our stuff. In the 6 beds girls dorm: there is a water damage on the wall: it’s crumbling and it’s moldy. Location is ok: 10 mins walk from the city center. And the airport bus drops you 3 min from the hostel. Train & bus station: 20 min walks.

I only stayed 1 night, and only 18 hours at that. Nice enough. Well marked outside, with multiple gates to go through to the entrance. Close to the Metro and walkable to the City Center. I did not get the full experience with the short stay on a weeknight. With a lot of travelers it looks like it could be a fun extended stay.
