The only problem was the neighbour's dog (the hotel is on one floor in an apartment building) which kept barking, even through the night. ##### Jonathan Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dora 11 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### I truly recommend this place I loved this place!! The location is perfect. It's near all the main sites. The room was super clean. The bed was comfortable. Carmelo was a great host!! He's a very nice man. Just right outside the entrance is the bus stop to the airport. The breakfast was simple but very good. I would definitely stay here again.

We were able to communicate with Google translate. Room was great and I had a perfect view of Mt. Etna. Breakfast was not the best. Owner's son asked us what we wanted for breakfast the next day but did not give us what we asked for. Wifi did not work in all the rooms. Hotel is in a great location ##### Judith Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 7 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The host was very friendly and tried to help. He had minimal English so used a translator on his phone. The property was not where it was shown on hotels.com. Instead of being on the square by the metro it was about a quarter of a mile away from the location listed in the direction away from the city center. It did have a bus stop outside the door. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah 11 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a bed and breakfast, but the owner does not live on site. The hotel is on the 5th floor of residential building with a gate - so you won't know you're there until the owner meets you (no signs etc). Google maps will tell you you're there. If you see a gated building and Google says you're there, it is probably correct. If you're coming from the airport or train, take the Alibus to Viale bus stop and you'll be about 2 minute walk from the hotel - If you're coming from train ask someone trustworthy (worker) where the stop is for Alibus - you will not know you're at the hotel, but the owner will greet you at the gate. He'll take you to the elevator and will explain all the keys, when you go upstairs. This is such a cute, small bed and breakfast (6 rooms). The breakfast is typical Italian breakfast (croissants, meats, cheese etc). A younger gentleman is there to help with breakfast. Our room (room 1) had a balcony and we were able to enjoy a couple of concerts in the park, from our balcony. We also had access to the kitchenette area so we could grab dishes and glasses if we needed. Both gentleman spoke Italian (which is expected in Italy) but were very patient in my use of a translator app to communicate. Our room was clean and set up very nicely. Large and enjoyable. The only complaint is the neighbor's dog. The neighbor isn't a very good dog owner. ##### Deborah Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 26 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Owner is very friendly and goes above and beyond to help. Space was sufficient and clean, conveniently located. Elevators onsite so no need to carry your luggage through stairwells. This B&B doesn’t have any signage but upon arrival the owner showed up and brought us to the correct floor and helped us get settled in. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pasarn 14 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean well-renovated well-located property with big rooms and simple yet amazing breakfast. ##### Pasarn Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### T 16 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice property has all the facilities and station and centre are all walking distance. Just bare in mind that if your staying there on a weekend that there is a festival going on until 12am in the nearby park. ##### T Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey 29 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Nice owner. Perfect place for a short stay( I stayed one night). Not a ton of amenities but has the basics. Only problem is the WiFi does t work consistently which is a problem if your an international visitor. ##### Jeffrey Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Rosemari 8 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Nothing special. It was very difficult to figure out where to go once we were inside the building. No indication whatsoever. Luckily another customer saw us (we looked lost with our suitcases) and told us to go to the 5th floor. A lot of mosquitoes!!! ##### Rosemari Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mariano 28 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Top Lage ##### Mariano Stayed 14 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Octavio 12 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Todo muy bien.

Värd var otrolig hjälpsam med allt, från och med att vänta på oss vid bus stationen vid ankomst tom att lämna lägenhetsnycklar till oss for att hämta vår baggage vid avgång. Vi kunde själv bestäma vad vill vi äta för frukost och han ordnade detta. Rumet och badrumet var rena bekväma och i utmärkt skick säng bekvämt ,en tjusigt balkong med utsikt mot Vesuvio . Lägenheten finns på huvudgsta i Catania men det är lungt på kvällen. Rekomenderas hjärtlig. ##### Sead Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francois 15 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Je pense retourner à Catane et sans hésitation je me logerais chez papali ##### Francois Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana 31 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wir waren gern hier zu Gast. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet. ##### Diana Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Niclas 26 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service Papali 289 befindet sich in einem hinteren Abteil des Hauses. Es ist kein Klingelschild, noch sonstige Information zu lesen. Erst auf Nachfrage wurden wir in einen dunklen Flur gebeten, um mit einem sehr alten und fragwürdigen Aufzug in die 5\. Etage zu fahren. Das Treppenhaus war ebenfalls sehr dunkel und schmutzig. Die Unterkunft war zwar sauber und modern eingerichtet. Der Sohn des Besitzers, welcher sich um das Organisatorische und Frühstück kümmert, sorgte jedoch für einen nicht empfehlenswerten Aufenthalt. Als wir ankamen sagte man uns, dass wir kein Frühstück gebucht hatten. Erst nach viel Überzeugungsarbeit glaubte man uns schließlich. Am nächsten Morgen erhielten wir zwei kleine Croissants und ein Heißgetränk. Auf Nachfrage am nächsten Morgen auch etwas Herzhaftes wie Brot oder Aufschnitt zu bekommen wurde mit Protest bejaht. So erhielten wir an den darauffolgenden Tagen ein Brötchen, wenige Scheiben Käse, Butter und ein Croissant. Er bereitete es sehr langsam zu und reagierte auf Nachfragen stets genervt und unhöflich. Am Abreisetag verlangte er die Tax während des Frühstücks, obwohl darum gebeten wurde es anschließend in Ruhe zu klären. Er schaute durchgehend Videos, sprach kaum englisch, versuchte nicht Informationen zu beschreiben oder zu übersetzen und ließ uns warten. Insgesamt waren die Räumlichkeiten der Unterkunft zwar modern gestaltet, der Service und Umgang jedoch unmenschlich und nicht empfehlenswert. ##### Niclas Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Palazzo del Gattopardo Prince of Lampedusa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Palazzo-Del-Gattopardo-Prince-Of-Lampedusa.h37006476.Hotel-Information) > - [Hôtel du Louvre, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Louvre.h21803.Hotel-Information) > - [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) > - [B&B Blundellsands & Crosby Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blundellsands-Crosby-Station-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d553248634539837324-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [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) > - [Hotels in Methil](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Methil-Hotels.d6336596.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [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) > - [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) > - [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 > - [Turkish Airlines Hounslow (LHR) to Lahore (LHE) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/turkish-airlines-from-heathrow-to-allam-iqbal-intl/tk/lhr/lhe) > - [Flights from Leeds (LBA) to Ballasalla (IOM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lba/iom/leeds-to-isle-of-man) ### Packages ---
