Loved the artwork on the property, friendly staff checked me in and made me feel welcome in Catania right away, it was my first time visiting so they recommended me some good things to do such as visit mount Etna. I wouldn't mind staying here again, social area met some cool people from all around the world. All in all this was a positive experience (:

La location è davvero bella per non parlare della posizione strategica nel cuore pulsante della città! La camera che ho scelto si affaccia direttamente su una delle piazze più belle in cui è possibile ammirare lo storico e affascinante Castello Ursino di origine normanna. Il personale gentile e disponibile ma soprattutto cordiali e simpatici tutti! Ambiente pulito e ben curato! Soprattutto le aree comuni come la cucina il cortile dove potersi rilassare. Lo consiglio vivamente!

El alojamiento era cómodo, estaba limpio y nos atendieron muy bien, pero en las características ponía que había opción de parking por 10€ más y que hablaban varios idiomas, entre ellos español, y no era verdad en ninguno de los dos casos. Habíamos elegido el alojamiento solo por eso y nos encontramos buscando un parking por Catania a las 22:00.
La puerta del baño de nuestra habitación no cerraba.
