Excellent stay for exploration of Catania and the nearby Etna region.
Pros:

Nicely run small hotel at a perfect location in Catania center. Next to the bus station outside the railway station. You can explore Catania from there (buy a day ticket for the bus). The kind receptionist showed us a list of recommended eateries. We went to 2 and both were very good. The room has double double-glass windows which perfectly keep out the street noise. Breakfast is good, esp. if you like sweet stuff.

Nice hotel, helpful staff
Pros:

Staff, particularly at reception, were friendly and helpful in trying to find me somewhere to eat.

Cons:

My room was on the top floor and because of the violent storm which was in progress whilst I was there it was almost impossible to sleep because of the noise of rain and wind on the roof and Velux. Not the hotel's fault just the circumstances.

Обшарпанный отель задорого
Pros:

300 м от ЖД вокзала, чистое постельное белье.

Cons:

Все не понравилось! Находится в каком-то гетто. Кругом разруха и маргиналы бродят. Номер старый и обшарпанный. Окно не открывается, на подоконнике дебильная голубая подсветка, из за чего ночью в номере светло. Одеяло летнее, под утро замерзли. Убогое мыло в душевой. Завтрак якобы с 07:30, но когда мы уезжали в 07:30, в столовой не было ни звука, зря оплатили завтраки. Лучше уж потратиться на такси до нормального отеля, чем жить в таком клоповнике за приличные деньги.

Best you can find in this location
Pros:

Location is great, 5 minutes walk to the train station, 1 minute to the bus station. 15 minutes walk to the city center.
Breakfast is incredibly good: lots of fresh fruits, variety of pastry, eggs, cereal, yogurt.
Rooms are cleaned daily. The host Danilo is the nicest person I’ve ever met! Very helpful, friendly, responsive, always in a good mood, he treated me like I’m his best friend.
Definitely recommend the hotel.

Cons:

Everything was perfect

Fine for a night.
Pros:

Close to bus and train. Quiet rooms facing the courtyard. Clean room and fine bathroom.One receptionist was extremely nice and helpful. Cheerful and friendly. He even offered to walk me to the busstop. Unfortunately I forgot his name. He was very tall and had a wonderful sense of humor.

Cons:

A very small and dark, single room. Small single bed.

Pros:

Biudžetinis viešbutis su labai gera lokacija. Šalia autobusų ir geležinkelio stotys. Senamiestis 15 min kelio pėsčiomis. Labai malonus ir paslaugus viešbučio viršininkas.

Cons:

Virdulio, arbatų bei kavos rinkinio neturėjimas numeryje. Kartais viršininko nebuvimas atsiliepdavo ant pusryčių pasiruošimo, maisto gausos ir įvairovės.
