Located right between bus/train station and centre of Catania. 10 minutes walk both ways. Right next door is minimarket where you can buy basic groceries. Really convenient. The host is a professional and honest man who is always happy to help. He was available when needed and had no problem with meeting our needs. We were there for 3 nights and each day we traveled somewhere else so we used accommodation as a place to sleep. But it has enough appliances to do more. I could imagine myself being there for much longer.

The apartment is in the 3rd floor with no elevator. I forgot to check this before booking, but it was a lot of stairs. Not exactly a problem of the apartment but of Catania in general: the city is dirty and has a lot of prostitution.

The bedroom is nice, cute decorations and the AC works perfectly (so important for this weather!). The bathroom is very big and good as well. Cleanliness was good too. The host was nice and helpful. Location is walking distance to a lot of restaurants.

Not related to the B&B, but at night the neighborhood might not be the safest. Nothing happened to us, especially since Cristian recommended us which streets to take. But just to be aware of. Apart from that we really liked this place.

Very organized B&B, very clean, Cristian recommended us great things to do. The room is spacious and it had all the amenities we needed. Honestly all was great.

The shower was really small. It would be helpful if a soap dish was installed on the wall inside the shower to put the soap on.

Cool place with a lot of character. The neighborhood looks a bit rough, but it felt perfectly safe and it's a short walk to the city center as well as the train station. It was very quiet, clean and well maintained, the wifi was fast and reliable and there's a shared kitchen. Good place to stay if you're on a budget.

Avoid narrow streets in the evening. Evening life in this zone was a little frightening, but in a few days we got used to it. Christian warned, we were safe.

The house was clean, nice with a pleasant smell and very high ceilings. The kitchen had an old cozy atmosphere, with everything necessary. The location is very convenient, on foot you can reach all places in the city. The main thing in the house was Christian. He was very pleasant, gave a very detailed description of the zone and all places for visiting, food, beaches. It was lovely, there was an opportunity to leave things before departure.

It was clean, spacious room, location.

The street we were staying on felt a bit crowded at first, with a visible presence of immigrants and some street workers. However, they never bothered us at all — everyone kept to themselves, and we didn’t feel unsafe. By the second day, we realized the area is actually quite safe, but it's just something to be aware of when you arrive.

We really liked the room — it was clean, and having our own private bathroom was a big plus. The shower was a bit too small, to be honest, but everything else was perfectly fine. The owner was super helpful and kind, always ready to assist with anything we needed. I would definitely go again without a doubt! 😊 The location was also great — just about a 7-minute walk to the center, which was perfect for shopping and exploring. Traveling around Catania was really easy too, especially since Uber wasn’t very expensive. Overall, a very convenient and pleasant stay!

Friendly and very helpful host, advising with anything needed. The location is very near to the old town and the bus station. The place was clean and cosy.

Very nice host, gave us a lot of usefull information. Big room, there was all that you might need in kitchen - kettle, microvawe, cuttlery and cups. Close to main station.

There is absolutely nothing I didn't like. Some people would complain that there is prostitution in the immediate vicinoty of the apartment, that you must walk up 3 flights of stairs without elevator, that the amenitirs are a bit old. But this apartment is not for fussy travellers, just for normal ones who need a clean room and experience the real Catanese life and hospitality. Thank you, Cristian!

Loved the location of the apartment, 10 min from the train/bus station and 10 min from Piazza Stesicoro and the center of Catania. Had a balcony, private bathroom with everything I needed, a big kitchen where you can cook your own food if you like. House is decorated in a vintage style, which I appreciated very much. Unique with a lot of old times charm. Cleanliness is perfect, host is very kind and helpful, if you ask him, he has great tips about Catania and the surrounding area.

The local is located on the third floor, so if You have a heavy luggage be prepared for a long climb:)

The hostel is very well located - very close to the train station and less then 10 minutes from the city center. There are few restaurants and a bakery in the neighborhood. The owner is very kind and helpful, there is a very good contact with him.

The road was too noisy at night, but nothing can be done about it.

Me and my family enjoyed the stay at Solsicily. The apartment was clean. we had a large room with a private bathroom, which was fully equipped. the biggest thanks to Mr. Christian for his willingness. He advised us the best places in and around Catania and helped us arrange our early departure by taxi to the airport (€22). Thank you and highly recommend.

The neighbourhood seemed a bit sketchy at first glance, but after spending some time there, we realized there was nothing to worry about.

The room was cozy and the host was incredibly helpful. One of the best aspects was the flexibility with check-in and check-out times. We arrived late in the evening and had to leave early, and there were no issues at all with this, which we really appreciated.

The way to go to the beach is a bit longer (30-45 minutes by bus).

The host was really kind and he gave us some great propositions and tips what we should do during our stay. The apartment is pretty central and it takes about 15 minutes by foot to be in the touristic area where are also a lot of monuments.

The place is very good located, close to bus station and city centre. It's not fancy, but good enough to stay for a few days. Cristian was very helpful and polite, gave me a lot of tips about local places and how to travel around to nearby towns and to the beach.

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The owner was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to recommend great places to eat and must-see attractions in the area. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delightful stay!

Nothing of which i can think

The Host, was really helpfull, and at the arrival provided many usefull tips on how to operate in the city. Also let us check-in couple hours earlier than we should, so even if we artived earlier we were welcomed to get to apartment which saved us!

We were satisfied with the accommodation. The room was clean. We shared the bathroom with others and it was also clean. We stayed a short walk from the main streets. There is a bus to the beach and we would recommend a more private beach (the gentleman who checked us in gave us several passes to the private beach and also recommended places to visit, restaurants etc). In the evening the street where the accommodation is located can look strange because of the people around, but there really is nothing to worry about. The accommodation has a kitchen and fridge. In short… we recommend and thank you!

They don’t turn on the hob there and it would be good to use to cook stuff. The location is in quite a dodgy place so that is definitely something to bear in mind. I wouldn’t want to walk alone there at night.

Kitchen was lovely - room was clean and well kept - toiletries were supplied and bins changed every day in room.
