Catania bed & breakfasts

Pros: The B&B is very centrally located. That is all the positive thing I can say about it.

Cons: 1. The owner changed the address of the facility but never informed us. It took us (both sixty plus) almost two hours with two large suitcases to find the B&B facility. The actual B&B where he made us stay was named differently (B&B Catania Etna) and was located at a different address (via Etnea, 198) than the address provided through 'booking.com'. A photo of the property front is attached here. 2. The owner does not accept any credit cards for payments. 3. The room was stuffy and the a/c didn't work properly.

Pros: Clean and central

Pros: This b&b is simply amazing...location is fabulous, right in the heart of via Etnea. Staff offer a great service and the rooms are super clean..definately recommended. Tasha, Malta.

Pros: The location it was perfect and reachable for shopping and restaurants even for the public transport.but from the booking.com the hotel address is writen 290 via etnea but they told us that 3 years ago moved to same street but the nbr was 196.so if you please arrange it .I,m very satisfied for my staying in b&b massimo

Pros: Location

Cons: Mosquitoes in the room and the host didn't even react to do something about it.

Pros: Nice staff, breakfast was okay, nice room and view.

Cons: Wrong adress on the booking so we had problems with finding the b&b.

Pros: Very quiet room tucked off the busy street. Hosts were excellent when flight was severely delayed and waited up until very late at night for our check in. Spacious and comfortable room.

Cons: Bathroom was a little bit dirty/mouldy. Bath/shower didn't drain very well.

Pros: You get good value for money. The room is very small. There is no coffee corner. Breakfast at a nearby coffee shop, coffe and croissant only. Excellent location. Small room.

Pros: It is very central and close to all amenities

Cons: No lift

Pros: The room was clean and lovely location.

Cons: Front desk was at the Hotel next door.

Pros: Great location. It was really helpful to simply have own key for entry and exit when you like. Rooms were spacious and with quiet air conditioning so you could leave it on at night and still sleep easily.

Cons: We didn’t use the shared kitchen space.

Pros: In the center of Catania, spacious room with good facilities. Nice staff.

Cons: Nothing, good quality/price

Pros: The breakfast was in the Cafe on Duomo square, unfortunately limited to coffee and sone sweets.

Cons: The room with the Elefant is fine, the problem was that there is a laundry room next to it. At the first night someone entered it at night and woke me up. Every day the cleaning lady was using washing machines from 8-00 till 14-00 approximately and it was very noisy during this time.

Pros: Everything was great!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Close to: market with large choice of bars and restaurants; city centre; bus station, including Alibus to airport

Cons: Sloping ceiling of room: slightly too low for comfort

Pros: Quirky hotel. Very good value for money. Alessandro and staff are very pleasant, and available for any problems.

Cons: Light switch from stairs to common courtyard and exit to street was broken. Very dark at night. Had to grasp on to the handrail to find your way out. Hotel is not in the most desirable area, but you are literally 100 metres from entrance to the main tourist areas of Catania, so not a problem in reality

Pros: A very warm welcome from the staff member who came to let us in. He spoke English and was helpful re: taxis etc. Air conditioner was efficient and there was a good sized shelf in the bathroom. The room was large with a couch.

Cons: This accommodation was quirky but a little too basic for me. The beds were tiny (not great if you're 6'3") and the sheets didn't really cover the bed. The bathroom was a tight squeeze.

Pros: Very central location with loads of attention to detail and very quirky. Stairs and all little corners and spaces give a maze like feel. I believe that’s the local architecture, BnB located very central in an old Sicilian house. I enjoyed my stay here, as it was just one night. Staff went the extra mile to accommodate my late arrival which is highly appreciated!

Cons: Stairs and space to and in my room (attic) were very narrow, angles and ceilings are very low. I know I am tall (180 cm), but even while being aware, I hit my head several times during my one night stay, as some doors are only approx 150/160cm high. Large bathroom nearly made up for very low room.

Pros: Place with creative vibe and many interesting objects inside, good size of the room for two. Location is on the border of two districts but brings you directly to the city market and historical centre is just around the corner. Bus to the airport is 5 mins walk. It's very good place to stay

Pros: Charming, cozy hotel in the heart of Catania. Hotel staff super nice and helpful, room was clean, well-equipped and stylish, a wide variety of food for breakfast. The atmosphere of both hotel and the surrounding area is bohemian in the best sense of the word... Do not miss :)

Pros: I stayed in this amazing B&B and I loved every moment. All the rooms are different, well decorated and the bed is comfortable, with private bathrooms. The room and the kitchen was extremely clean The location is great to discover best city’s attractions within walking distance, in the historic center of Catania. The atmosphere which is created by the owner Daniele is amazing. Ever since booking,I was very impressed with the service that he provided throughout. He was friendly and helpful. He does everything to make your stay comfortable, giving tips to discover the best of Catania. The breakfast has lots of varieties and very satisfying. Thanks to you Daniele and your nice mum❤️for a wonderful time. Reyhan

Pros: It’s location is perfect you can walk everywhere and especially at the night it’s quite. Personal is very helpfull and warm. Towels and linents were perfectly clean.

Cons: It’s stairs are very narrow and clastrophobic. And room is needed renewation. After each using the shower bathroom is getting terrible wet. All furniture old and unusefull. Room doesnt available to spend time, dark and small.

Pros: The property was affordable for being in central location and plenty of street parking around. Ok for one night stay

Cons: Guilia, the staff works there was awful! She told us she will be available at the desk for check in between 9-2:30 and 5:30-8 pm window. We got notified that in the same morning and we ended up waiting for an hour in front of the place with all the luggages. All the check in process happened for her favor, not for customers. There’s so many spiral steps to the room and shower got weird smells. But these were more tolerable than her laziness.

Pros: The location is just amazing, in the heart of Catania. I have received a lot of information before arriving (how to get there, where to park the car...), which were very useful. Daniel, the owner is super nice also his mother, who did very nice daily cleaning in our room.

Cons: But all together I was disappointed with the place after the great reviews I have read about it. First of all, the key to your room is this old style key, I guess everyone seen that, you have to find a position to open your door, so it isn’t that safety and if your neighbors don’t know how to open the door on the night, there is a big chance you will be woken up. Also the walls are just like papers, when your neighbor use the bathroom, you have the feeling they are in your room... The room itself is ok, but we had a queen size bed with 2 different mattresses, one of them super used and not even same height as the other. The pillow is very uncomfortable super height. The worst part was the bathroom. I don’t mind if something is outdated if it is clean. In general super moldy, not only the shower but all around wall, next to sink! Very very unhealthy! We haven’t ordered breakfast in advance, we like to check out the offer and than decide. We were informed, although there is an option for that, they order from a place close by, but maybe if we want it’s just better if we walk there... so I am very confused about the reviews, probably earlier they have offered. After all I wouldn’t book it again.

Pros: The room was nice and clean and the location was perfect to walk out of the room and into the square for food and sightseeing! The person working that night was very knowledgeable of things that were available nearby for us. The morning we were leaving, our taxi that was set up to take us to the airport was late. We called the front desk and they were quickly able to assist us with contacting the taxi and getting everything taken care of, in order for us to make it to the airport on time.

Cons: The walk from the bus stop we got off at to the place was a little rough, while wheeling our luggage across the stone.

Pros: Great location, very nice big room with comfy big bed; we had very good communication with the hosts, they helped us even with recommendations for parking places :) Quiet area, the location is on a small street, away from the city noise.

Cons: The location and the room are great, with some small investments in the bathroom, it will be perfect. For one night it was exactly what we needed :) The leakage from the shower is not very good, I had to close the water for a few moments during shower in order for the water to drain.

Pros: Loveeed the location, you can easily walk to Piazza del Duomo. There are lots of shops nearby, including the most delicious I've ever eaten in Italy. The host let us leave our luggage in the morning to check in later. She was easy to reach and patient. The apartment is well equipped and the WIFI not bad. This was a super deal and great value for money! Overall we liked our stay and would book this accommodation again.

Cons: The extra bed was a tiny couch out of which you could pull a foam mattress to set it on the floor. It was kind of odd and looked incomfortable. It was actually not too bad and the person who slept on it said he had a good sleep, but if you are very tall or fat you might have a problem with it.

Pros: Large apartment. Value for money. Comfortable bed.

Cons: Further from bus or train station than I had first thought. Quite a long walk with luggage to office and then apartment. Showers could do with a makeover.

Pros: It was very unexpensive and since we stayed only for one night it was very ok. The appartement was spacious, the beds were fine, the balcony was very nice with a nice view. The area is a little run down, but very close to the center.

Cons: The guests that stayed in the appartement before must have been very heavy smokers since the whole room smelled like an ashtree. Disgusting!

Pros: The accomodation has good location in Catania. The view from the balcony.

Cons: It was too dirty. There were so many confetti in the room(previous guest), they didn’t clean it up on full. The shower was blight!

Pros: Easy check in. Close to the city center.

Cons: Our apartment was on second floor (it was not easy with the lot of bags). The fridge in the room was very noise at the night. Very small kitchen, only for one person. The bathroom window wasn't lockable. The bed was very uncomfortable. The heating is not worked, and it was a cold in November.

Pros: Good location, great staff, perfect communication.

Cons: Funghi in bathroom and not fresh smell of bedclothes

Pros: The flat was clean and close to the city center. Everyting went fine to pick up the keys.

Cons: It says that the check in begins at 10h30 but they actually need time to clean the flat and it is more around 12:00
