I recently stayed at this hostel for more than a week, and overall, it was a positive experience. The room was incredibly clean and spacious, providing a comfortable place to relax after a day at the beach. Speaking of the beach, the hostel's location is fantastic, with direct access to a beautiful beach equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas. It made enjoying the seaside effortless and enjoyable. The hostel also impressed me with its sanitary facilities near the beach which were well maintained, and the breakfast offered was a great start to the day, with a variety of options to choose from.

The hostel is located close to the airport. While this is convenient for travelers, it does mean that planes fly overhead quite frequently, from 6 AM until 1 AM. This might be a downside for light sleepers or those seeking complete tranquility. Despite this, I found the overall experience to be very satisfying, especially considering the amenities and the fantastic beach access.

Friendly joyful and kind staff Colourful deco I like the Ethos behind the hostel

A little stressful on departure day, due to language barrier. Apart from this minor thing overall a good experience with lovely staff. Location is a little out the way but I knew that before - requires public transport to the centre that can be intermittent. (staff kindly gave me a lift one evening to go to a restaurant.) I had explored Catania before & this time wanted to visit mt Etna & it was nice to know the airport was a short ride away after a busy week. And the hostel provide their own taxi service at an excellent rate, a third the price of local taxis. I slept well and was happy with the good vibes in the place

What an amazing hostel; I wish I had more time to spend there! The staff is beyond amazing and make the experience the best. Everyone was so accommodating and friendly. One of the staff ordered me a pizza as I had a long travel day and needed something quick and easy for dinner. I had an early flight the next morning so I missed out on the included breakfast, but was offered espresso before leaving. Excellent airport transfer. The art seen throughout is stunning. I had a very large private room with a balcony where I could hear the sea. Truly amazing experience.

Nothing I didn’t like. It was great!

I liked the location! BUT!!! That´s nothing for people they want quiet place! In front of the house 100 meter is landing runway for airplanes they landing and take of from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. and makes good noice. But I loved this place and that´s why I booked the hostel. You need to have a car if you like to move on in the area because the bus is going direct in the front of the hotel but 1x in hour and has no directly connection to the airport. But the personal can bring you to the airport with their car for 15 euro. The personal is realy nice and helpful. the rooms are easy some has a terrase with sea view some not. The showers are small and the water comes just from above. Should be made it in new style.

The breakfast is very easy not so much to choose. Coffe was realy bad that´s not good steatment for italiy sorry for sicily cause everyone expected great coffe in italy but it wasn´t.

The staff is super friendly helpfull and interested in making your stay the most pleasant possible. Loved the terrace and the view from the terrace. Very spacious double room. Lovely área to sunbathe in the primate access to the beach.

Being so close to the airport and so heading the planes flying over your head is at times a bit annoying, even if at night there are no flights so you can sleep peacefully. But you would asume you could walk to the airport as you are so close but unfortunately there is no access so you still need a taxi or to walk over an hour to reached it. Would be perfect if the location co get access to the airport through the road instead of going all the way around

The place itself was great. I loved the balcony with the sea view, loved being able to walk down to the sea, loved the people - very sweet and kind - and loved the evening meal. I was the only one there for the evening meal and it was very delicious and beautifully served. There was a very good atmosphere and I liked the books. The room was clean and spacious and had everything I needed.

It was hard to get to by public transport! I had messaged the property about how I could get there, but received no reply. In the event I tried to walk from the airport but was luckily picked up by a taxi because it was not a walking road. I did not love the other guests who descended like locusts on breakfast, grabbed all the salad, boiled eggs, cheese and fresh hot croissants to wrap in napkins to take back to their rooms ... had I hung around I expect more would have been brought out and I appreciate that these guests are not always there and that there is no solution to human greed ... but it was a shame. I had to leave for the airport and bought my own breakfast there.

We booked a triple private room at this hostel for a single night, primarily to have a convenient stopover near the airport before continuing our journey the following day. The room we stayed in was clean, and the hostel staff was remarkably accommodating throughout our brief stay. One highlight was the breakfast buffet, which, while not exceptionally varied, offered a delicious spread. Complimentary coffee and juices were also included and were quite enjoyable. Additionally, the property boasts its own dedicated car parking area, which is securely enclosed during the nighttime hours.

However, it's worth noting that the hostel's proximity to the airport runway did lead to frequent and rather loud airplane engine noises. If you plan on an extended stay or are sensitive to loud sounds, you might want to consider this aspect before booking.

The room was spacious and clean. The staff was friendly, helpful, and cattered to all my requests. The hostel has a very nice, colorful aesthetic. I enjoyed the private beach and the area surrounding the hostel. Great value for money.

The shower was very small. This is not the hostel's fault per se, it's just that the area doesn't have any markets nearby, and without a car you're a bit stranded and dependent on the unreliable Italian buses.

As for me, I assume it's a great value for the fair price if your sleep is not sensitive to the noise. It's a good place to spend a vacation if you are young, you have a car and you don't have children. The personnel is amazing, transfer from airport is cheaper than Uber, the room is big, same as terrace, the great beach is very close to the hostel, the sea is shallow.

It is located near the airport, so the noise of the planes is disturbing, breakfasts are monotonous, public transport is terrible so it's hard to get into the city, there is no shop nearby.
