Quirky place with a great vibe. Old building and old fittings which of course means plenty of idiosyncrasies. Good value in the centre of town.

Overall great

Overall, our stay was good. The service was excellent and the location great. The toilet didn’t work properly, but help arrived immediately. It was only a temporary fix, which was fine for one night. The repair was scheduled for the next day, after we had already checked out.

What a rare gem this hotel was. It's like stepping back into time (and space). So many beautiful details everywhere. Location to die for as well. The owner/host was such a lovely gentleman too. 11/10. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Catania.

Good but if you have mobility issues, the stairs can be tricky. The shower was kind of nuts. Very friendly staff though, and really convenient location, lots of charm and character to the place. (I was really looking forward to a nice shower the day I checked it, so I was disappointed, but overall the stay was cozy and nice.)
