Das Zimmer und die Betten (6-Bett-Zimmer) war sehr schön. Leider war die Nacht sehr unruhig, da draußen auf den Straßen ein Festival stattfand. Badezimmer waren etwas schmuddelig, aber das kenne ich aus Hostels nicht anders. Das Frühstück war ein netter Bonus, das bekommt man nicht überall (und mit Schokokuchen schon gar nicht, der ist hier einmalig). Check-out war auch angenehm und einfach, auch wenn das Morgen-Personal kaum Englisch sprach. ##### Carina Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Mark 8 Jun 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### This elephant offers an enjoyable ride Some confusion at first about my booking. (I'd changed from a longer stay, which I'd canceled, to two short bookings.) But once that was understood, the owner was very nice to me. She remembered my name for several days and always said, "Ciao." The ceilings are beautiful with plenty of space in the shared dorm. Breakfast is good, especially when they offer fresh fruit. Bathrooms and showers are old but clean, with plenty of hot water. GREAT location in Catania and great common room with extra bar upstairs that has a beautiful view. ##### Mark Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Simon 28 Jul 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice central hostel with great staff! During my stay here in June I had only booked one night before arriving at the hostel. Upon arrival I was given all the information about the hostel and of the surrouding area by the girl at the desk. For the first night I checked into a 4 bed dorm that was absolutely huge and cost me next to nothing for the stay. The rooms at the hostel (I think there was 4 in total - ranging between 4 bed and 10 bed dorms) did not have locks on the doors. Each of the rooms had more than enough lockers for each person and although the lockers didn't feel overly secure there was absolutely no issues with security during my stay there. After my first night's stay I had not booked a second night however did want to stay the second night and although online the hostel appeared to be booked out the people that were working on the reception desk kept me informed throughout the day and managed to put me up in the 10 bed dorm for my second night. Somebody was available at reception 24 hours a day which was great. The hostel had laundry facilities and a nice rooftop with a good view of Mount Etna as well as the local area. Overall I was very pleased with this hostel. ##### Simon Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### ARIKO 21 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### ARIKO Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 6 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 4 Nov 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 11 Aug 2014 Disliked: Staff & service ##### Verified traveller ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [La Serenissima Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-La-Serenissima-Hotel.h38267384.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa San Lorenzo ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Villa-San-Lorenzo-Room-Suite-Restaurant.h25812884.Hotel-Information) > - [Grand Hotel Ortigia Siracusa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Ortigia-Siracusa.h1329454.Hotel-Information) > - [Atlantis Bay - The Leading Hotel of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Atlantis-Bay-VRetreats.h985060.Hotel-Information) > - [Dimora Botteghelle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trapani-Hotels-Vrbo-Property.h40000778.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Villa Bianca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Bianca.h1277578.Hotel-Information) > - [A' Coffa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Coast-Hotels-A-Coffa.h37124860.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Villa Esperia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Esperia.h1467750.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Metropole Taormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Metropole-Maison-DHotes.h3779098.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels with Waterpark in Jamaica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Jamaica-Waterpark-Hotel.0-0-d88-twaterparkhotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [Villa Taormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-Taormina.h2530371.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Sant'Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-SantAndrea.h889626.Hotel-Information) > - [Room of Andrea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trapani-Hotels-Room-Mate-Andrea-Palazzo-Platamone.h35313325.Hotel-Information) > - [Domus Sicily - Il Giardino di Michela - Heated Pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Domus-Sicily-Il-Giardino-Di-Michela-Heated-Pool.h35501042.Hotel-Information) > - [Mazzarò Sea Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Mazzaro-Sea-Palace-VRetreats.h983846.Hotel-Information) > - [San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-San-Domenico-Palace.h54173.Hotel-Information) > - [Aparthotels King's Cross Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Cross-Station-Apart-Hotels.d501552-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Maniace Boutique Hotel Ortigia UNA Esperienze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Maniace-Boutique-Hotel-Ortigia.h109087329.Hotel-Information) > - [Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Timeo.h889634.Hotel-Information) > - [Relais 147](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Coast-Hotels-Relais-147.h36152489.Hotel-Information) > - [ Palazzo Artemide - VRetreats, SLH Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Palazzo-Artemide-VRetreats.h974007.Hotel-Information) > - [Domìa Boutique Hotel e Cucina ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Domia-Boutique-Hotel-E-Cucina.h99434641.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Buenos Aires (BUE-All Airports) to Sao Paulo (SAO-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bue/sao/buenos-aires-to-sao-paulo) > - [Flights from Liverpool (LPL) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lpl/mco/liverpool-to-orlando) ### Packages ### General ---
