It needs to be more advertised that you must contact them 72 hours before to receive check in info as they will not contact you. I contacted them over 24 hours before but no one replied and when I got to the hotel no one was there or was answering the phone, a couple of hours later I managed to get the check in details. The room is fine, bed not to my taste as it was too soft and as many reviews state the plumbing is noisy. I was a solo female traveller and didn’t love the thin sliding front door of the room, it didn’t feel very safe. Good TV and aircon. Breakfast was an apple and a packaged muffin, orange juice and there was a coffee machine.

Very dark almost goth like entry, room request was not met until 2nd day and it was, no hot water for two days, uncomfortable, bathroom rule to throw paper in basket was not in review, noisy pump every hour didn't allow a restful sleep, towels were dingy grey worn, stiff. No lighting at entry had to use cell to light up key entry. Heater in room didn't work. Balcony view ( really? View of street? ). Very disappointed, ruined visit couldn't enjoy it fully.

A great central location, very reasonably priced, to explore Catania from. The room is very clean and well presented although a number of things were broken (the shower leaked which meant the toilet macerator went off every 30 minutes through the night, the shower head itself was also broken, and the aircon remote didn't really work) but for the price it's a good deal and otherwise comfortable.

The property misrepresented its rooms and services
The room I booked was not the room I received
Owner rude and unavailable when problems arose
Demoralizing comments made by owner when complaints were made
AC didn’t work first night. Stuck on 18 Celsius. Contacted owner Nothing done until nex day. AC set by owner and remote removed from room
Last night owner turned off AC despite the high temperature outside and the remote had been removed the previous night so it could not be turned on
No breakfast
Stale packaged food
Door to room was not a secure door but a door used for closets or wardrobe. Key was nearly impossible to use and anyone could see in room by looking through key hole! Lights on stairs were dark and unsafe
Curtains on window were plastic and too narrow to provide privacy from rooms across road
Toilet would run off and on and omit fowl odor that filled room
Streets outside were full of graffiti and trash. People could be heard all hours breaking bottles and yelling
One half ounce shampoo / body wash per day. No soap for hand washing. Totally unsanitary !Pillows were hard and uncomfortable
When I informed owner I would file a complaint with Expedia I was told “Go ahead”
I felt unsafe in the room at night and slept with my phone. The owner was totally absent from property physically and mentally
Hotel should be removed from Expedia website
I would like a FULL refund

It is right in the middle of the coolest part of Catania. Good reasonable restaurants with nice, friendly staffs. You MUST SEE the Roman amphitheater a few blocks away! The rooms are big and clean, coffee maker, light breakfast food provided, oranges and bananas in lobby.
Great shower and small, cool balcony for fresh air. Taxis have trouble finding it. You have to book them through Uber. Go to a nearby restaurant. **Your room door slides open** It took me awhile to figure that out. Duh!

Okay option for a short stay

The place is okay to stay a few nights, no reception or staff on site. Small but efficient rooms. No real breakfast options, just a few packaged muffins and crackers on the desk and juice boxes in the minifridge. Very good central location on a side street. Sheets and towels were clean but the room itself needed a good cleaning/dusting. Noisy water pump kept turning on every now and then during the night.

The property is in a great location for sightseeing on foot in Catania.
The property description & photos gave the impression that there was a bar & a breakfast room. These are both false. The breakfast was some cakes, a yoghurt & a small carton of juice left in the bedroom. The tea & coffee making facilities was actually a coffee maker so useless if you wanted tea. All the water in the bathroom went through a noisy masserator, and our leaking shower set this off every 1/2 hour, which kept waking us up. The bearings had gone in the aircon unit so you couldnt use it if you wanted to sleep.The delux triple room we paid for was a double with a queen sized bed. The only person on site was the cleaner who didn't speak English. When I finally spoke to the owner her comment was \"you don't need a triple room as there's only two of you\". On the plus side, the hairdryer was the best one i've ever had in a hotel room.

Hice mi reserva y pagué el total por adelantado. Desde un día antes de llegar al alojamiento traté de hacer contacto vía mensaje en la app de booking acerca de la hora de llegada, nadie contestó. Al llegar a la propiedad marqué el número telefónico indicado en la puerta de acceso, eran las 13 horas del día y nadie me contestó. En la propiedad no hay nadie a cargo de parte del propietario. Entonces escribí por whatsapp y hasta el tercer mensaje me enviaron las instrucciones para acceder, después de 10 minutos de estar esperando en la banqueta con mi equipaje. El cuarto se vencía a las 10 y leí en una hoja pegada ahí que tenían resguardo de equipaje por $5 euros, nuevamente les escribí al whatsapp con un día de anticipación para solicitar el servicio, una vez más, nadie respondió ni al mensaje, ni a la llamada. Aproximadamente a las 12 del día me llegó un mensaje que el costo era de $10 euros y que iban a checar si podían recibir mi equipaje, para ese momento yo ya estaba cargando mis maletas por la Ciudad. Muy mala atención

L'hébergement est très bien situé dans Catane. En revanche, on a regretté l'absence d'accueil physique. Et il serait préférable de ne pas proposer de petits déjeuners plutôt que: 2capsules de café, 2 mini cake de chez lidl et 2 briquettes de jus d'orange. Et un sachet de biscottes ( pas de beurre, pas de confiture...) pas de thé non plus...

Boa localização , mas com desorganização

O hotel não tem recepção, eu enviei mensagens pelo WhatsApp e a princípio foi mais complicado pela falta de retorno. Foi estressante, até que finalmente atenderam a ligação. Depois de tudo acertado, conseguimos o código para entrarmos no hotel. Para a minha surpresa, o quarto que reservamos que deveria ter duas camas ao menos, pois era um quarto triplo luxo suite, tinha somente uma cama, eu reclamei, pois eu não estava na companhia de um namorado/marido, estava com um amigo e ficamos desconfortáveis. Não adiantou reclamarmos, a outra cama só foi posta no quarto no dia seguinte. É inadmissível esse tipo de coisa acontecer. A foto que inclui é do café da manhã, sem faltar um item.😳

Okay for a one-night stay in Catania city center

The room is spacious and the location is great. Breakfast consists on premade/packaged goodies (cereals, muffins, two bread slices, juice) that can be found in the room upon arrival - there is no tea (only coffee capsules) nor kettle in the room. The height of the door to the room was a bit low (1.7 m approx). Our biggest issue with the room is the bathroom: at regular intervals (every 10ish minutes, specially after using the toilet) a loud noise would come from the cistern, and the shower head kept dripping for a while after being used.

It was difficult to check in as we had to call to the accomodation to get in and before that take pictures of our passports and sent them to accomodator. Room was worn out. We paid for triple room and we got double room with extra bed. Breakfast as in picture just some everlasting biscuits and piece of cake.
But close to center. Ok for one night. Would not stay again.

Die Unterkunft wirkt innen modern, ist sauber und ist mit den nötigsten Dingen eingerichtet. Unser Zimmer war fensterlos, jedoch sehr ruhig und mit sehr gut funktionierender, leiser Klimaanlage ausgestattet. Zudem hatte das Zimmer ein Bad mit Fenster zum etwas chaotisch aussehenden Mini-Innenhof. Check-in und Check-out haben sich als äußerst unkompliziert erwiesen und lassen sich bequem via WhatsApp absprechen (englisch). Das Frühstück besteht aus ausschließlich abgepackten Dingen wie Croissants, eine Art Zwieback, Butter, Jogurth, Saft, und typischen kleinen Kuchen, was zusätzlich durch eine Espresso Kapselmaschine ergänzt wird. Wer eine kleine Unterkunft sucht, der einfach Catania und die Umgebung erkunden möchte und die meiste Zeit ohnehin unterwegs ist, hat hier eine gute Option gefunden, die zudem sehr zentral und nahe der Haupt-Fußgängerzone liegt.

Ik vond de locatie van het hotel ideaal! Het ligt midden in het centrum, heel fijn als je even wilt afkoelen in je kamer met een goedwerkende airco. De schoonmakers waren erg vriendelijk, zij maakte elke dag het bed op en maakte schoon. Echter merkte we wel dat de gang nogal vies was, we moesten door de gang lopen richting onze badkamer en bij dat kleine stukje waren onze sokken of voeten behoorlijk vies. Wij kozen voor een badkamer buiten de hotelkamer, de deur kon alleen van binnen op slot, waardoor we toch liever onze spulletjes daar niet lieten liggen.
Het ontbijt stelde niet heel veel voor, wij hadden er in ieder geval niet genoeg aan, wel werd het elke dag aangevuld. Er is een lidl in de buurt, waar wij nog wat extra's hadden gehaald.
Er was een keuken, waar je ook borden zou kunnen pakken, iedereen in het hotel kan trouwens gebruikmaken van die keuken.
Als je wat langer bent dan 1.80 m dan kan de douche wat krap zijn, voor de rest wel een fijne douche.
De bedden waren ontzettend hard, je zou net zo goed op de vloer kunnen slapen.

Skittent og dårlig frokost

Vi booket for to netter. Rommet var stort, men senga var veldig hard og putene umulige å sove på. Dusjen hadde svertesopp og var ikke ordentlig rengjort. Det var ikke mulig å kaste dopapir i doen så du blir nødt til å kaste det i en søppeldunk på badet.

Vi betalt ekstra for frokost hver dag. Det eneste vi fikk var noen pakker med yoghurt og juice i kjøleskapet på rommet, og tørre croissanter.

minihome lå rigtig godt inde i byen og der var masser dejlige restauranter i området. Parkeringsforholdene var gode hvis man er i bil dog skal man betale i små automater som man finder ved vejen.
vi var lidt kede af da vi ankom til lejeligheden af der lugtede af røg som om dem før os havde ryget cigaretter i værelset vi var hellere ikke informeret på hotels side om at vi ikke måtte smide toiletpapir i toilettet hvilket vi ikke fandt så charmerende. ud over dette var der larm fra vejen som kunne gøre det svært at sove om aften. morgenmaden var virkelig dårligt og vi anbefaler ikke at købe det med.
ud over dette havde vi et okay ophold
