Excellent B&B! Very nice room, good breakfast and great location in the centre of Catania. The host was very helpful with practical information about the city. Navigation system could not find the street (not accessible by car). Driving directions should mention street "Via Auteri". Difficult to find parking space (but host waited outside for us upon arrival).

Really friendly and helpful staff, Laura and Sophie both excellent. Located well for historical Catania. Good atmosphere over breakfast. Triple room a bit small for three, but not a real problem. Not easy to find - best to get to the castle and ask from there.

The location was just excellent, also I was asked to choose if I wanted a double bed room or a flat and it just for £30 per night. Staff was so friendly and breakfast superb with fresh good quality bread, butter, biscuits, marmalade, and cured meat!

Extraordinarily friendly, helpful and flexible staff. Nice and clean room. In particular if you like sweets, you will enjoy the buffet breakfast (I would only miss some fruits or vegetables, but they seems to be uncommon for breakfast in that area and there is an amazing market around the corner anyway). Breakfast is served on a big table which encourages you to start talking to other guests and make new friends. It is very close to city highlights (Duomo square, fish market), yet hidden from the crowd of tourists and still within a walking distance to the main bus & train station.

What I liked best about this B&B was the location. It is just down the street in front of the Piazza Duomo and the fish market with shopping close by. In a word---right in the middle of everything. Sophia was the hostess the day we checked in and was a real sweetie. She knew that we we're leaving very early the next morning before the complimentary breakfast was served. She was thoughtful enough to bring us food to eat before she left for the day so we could have something to eat before we left. Mille grazie, Sophia. The only thing I would warn those thinking to stay at Globtrotter is that it's very difficult to find the tiny "street" it's on. I would call it an alleyway. But if you can find the Piazza Duomo with it's black elephant, then know that you're very, very close.

I would like to recomand this hotel not only for its best location, comfort and quietness, but also for its hostess Sylvia and Sophia who speak a very good English and are always willing to share to you information about how to get everywhere, timetable of the busses to Taormina, Etna or Siracusa and i also need to mention and appreaciate their kindness.

B&B frumos, curat situat la cateva minute de Piazza del Domo. Personal extrem de amabil. Mic dejun ok (mult peste ce se ofera, in general in Italia)

L'estrema cortesia dello staff, l'abbondante prima colazione ed il buon rapporto qualità-prezzo L'hotel è difficile da trovare, bisogna essere esperti della città per trovarlo:le indicazioni fornite sono fuorvianti,il Duomo è a 600 metri, non a 100 e questo crea solo confusione:si arriva prima da via Garibaldi scndendo poi a sinistra per 200 metri dopo aver incontrato la prima piazza di un certo rilievo.

Todo. No le encuentro ninguna desventaja a este b&B. Genial y totalmente recomendable. Limpio, personal muy muy agradable, desayuno incluido, confortable ... La ubicación es estupenda, a unos pasos del duomo de Catania. Para los que vayáis en coche, hay aparcamiento muy cerca. Todo ventajas.

Situato nel cuore del caratteristico centro di Catania, questo b&b si distingue per la fantastica ospitalità e gentilezza dello staff. E' pulito e confortevole, con camere spaziose: il rapporto qualità-prezzo è semplicemente imbattibile! Se proprio devo trovare un aspetto negativo...la scala stretta che conduce alla camere rende un po' difficile il passaggio con grandi e pesanti valigie

Les 2 jeunes femmes auxquelles nous avons eu à faire étaient très aimables et soucieuses de répondre à nos attentes. De plus, elles parlaient bien le français. La cage d'escalier, très étroite (difficile de monter avec une valise et de petits problèmes de fuite d'eau lorsque nous prenions une douche.

Camerele sunt foarte frumos decorate, linistite, hotelul este intr-o zona foarte buna, aproape de centru si de mijloacele de transport. Recomand apartamentul (garsoniera) pentru familie cu copii. Micul dejun cam slab aprovizionat. Daca obisnuiti sa mancati bine la masa de dimineata, nu va bazati pe micul dejun de la hotel.

L'ottima accoglienza, insieme alla posizione centralissima della struttura, rappresenta certamente il punto forte del Globetrotter. Occorre certamente migliorare la funzionalità del bagno, specie per ciò che riguarda la tendina che dovrebbe evitare lo spargimento di acqua sul pavimento durante l'utilizzo della doccia e c'è qualcosa da rivedere nell'impianto di climatizzazione, eccessivamente rumoroso.

Siamo stati solo una notte, la stanza era spaziosa e confortevole, munita di connessione wifi. Lo consiglio per chi non ha grosse pretese e vuole una stanza con le giuste comodità. La tv non funzionava, ma purtroppo non abbiamo potuto chiedere di aggiustarla, quando siamo andati a dormire il ragazzo nella hall era già andato via.

Da ich das erste Mal alleine verreist bin war ich positiv davon ueberrascht, dass eine Mitarbeiterin mich einen Tag vor meiner Anreise anrief, um mir die Buchung zu bestaetigen und mir einen guten Flug zu wuenschen. Auch bei meiner Ankunft habe ich mich sehr gut aufgehoben gefuehlt. Die Mitarbeiterinnen waren sehr nett, das Fruestueck im Gemeinschaftsraum bot Gelegenheit zu einem gegenseitigen Austausch. Die Wohnungen verteilten sich auf umliegende Wohnhaeuser, was mir weniger das Gefuehl einer Reisenden, sondern vielmehr das Gefuehl einer Bewohnerin der Stadt gab. Die Wohnungen sind extrem geraeumig, mit Kueche, Esszimmer, Fernseher, Stereoanlage und grossem Bad ausgestattet, sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Insgesamt stimmte das Preis-Leistungsverhaeltnis und ich kann das B&B nur weiterempfeheln.

El personal es verdaderamente servicial y encantadoras. Intentaron ayudarnos para compensar el mal cuerpo que nos produjo catania. Es recomendable fundamentalmente para gente joven, la habitacion confortable desayuno comunitario que te preparas tu mismo, de todas formas no recomendaria a nadie alojarse en catania, ciudad sucia, con ambiente sordido e insegura donde nos robaron todo lo que llevabamos encima, no recomendaria nunca a nadie que aprecie ir a catania.
