As I've been working in the hotel business for years I will be objective so to help you decide if this is for you or not. The rooms are above the fish and veggies market so for the two rooms in the front it can be very noisy during day and night so stay away if you want a good rest. If you don't mind that you will definitely love and enjoy the location as it's a lovely neighborhood with all the attractions around. Our room was looking internal and though I am sensitive with noises I had no problem at all sleeping and also didn't mind an a/c unit outside the bathroom that some exaggerated comments say it's noisy. We were advised to not open the internal window and we didn't so the room kept a nice smell from day one till we left and no fishy or cooking smells disturbed our rest The room was clean and the bathroom great. The hostess also was too kind to be on the spot even though we had a 3 hours delay and we had to amend 2 times our appointment. In overall we enjoyed our 3 night stay

Some friendly suggestions to the owners. Have some tea and coffee amenities. COVID can't be an excuse for not offering that A small curtain for the internal window looking at the building stairs would be a solution for the guests that are sensitive to the light that comes in the room when people enter the building New pillow cases would definitely look great on your comfortable bed

Very central located, in the heart of old town. Room and bathroom are modern and clean. Good offer for the money, but located in between very busy bars... so can become very loud from outside (but only people talking and music... no traffic 😉)...

Google Maps has given me wrong address, so that I could hardly find the right place... but the host told me, that they solved the problem now. Just in case: the entrance-door is located in between two bars... one of them (left side) is Artu-Burger. Shower rail should become fixed.

The accommodation and the surroundings could not be better, right near the main square and the fishmarket. We felt absolutely safe at any time of the day and night. We wouldn't stay anywhere else, next time in Catania :-) We could not find the PB gas, but the owner helped us immediately, when we told him we could not make tea.

Te downstairs door lock worked very unreliably, I simply could not enter the house several times, without the help of someone walking by. There is a nice kitchen with a big refrigerator, which is super, but it would be comfortable to have a microwave oven, a water boiler and a few knives, as well.

The room itself is very well equipped. Own bathroom is great. There is also a tv and air conditioning in the room which comes in handy during summer. Both the main room and the bathroom look modern. Towels are also provided. You can access a small kitchen in the hall. In the centre of the city so you can walk almost anywhere.

This place is really hard to find. There isn't any sign on the door or doorbell. The location is very busy. There is a market nearby every morning and during the evening there are people in the pubs till early in the morning. The room is very bright even during the night because of the light from the street (might be a problem for some). Also, there is a lot of noise but earplugs can solve this problem.

The location is amazing, house is very well kept, extremely private with ensuite rooms and even though the house itself is shared, we didn’t even see the people we were staying with.

The shower was blocked, the area is a bit noisy at night but the walls insulate the noise very well.

Sistra's is right in the middle of historical Catania, next to the fish market and cathedral which are both must-see attractions. The facilities are modern and clean. Piero was helpful and gracious with answering the questions I had.

Anyone who comes in peak season might find the accommodation loud at night, because it's centrally located and next to a couple of bars. I had less of a problem coming in November on some rainy days. Also, the shower can be sometimes inconsistent with its hot water.

The location is extremely centric and yet my room was quiet so I could sleep very well. For a budget stay, this is good value for money.

I mean the place isn’t perfect and the chair of my small desk was very flimsy, but for the price in Catania… I would still give this place a 10

Location could not have been better. Close to everything, cute little bar area right outside the door at night and nice markets during the day. Easy to reach on foot from the airport bus stop.

All good.

I love everything about the structure. The gentleman was so supportive and caring, very professional staff and I definitely go back to Sistra next time I am in Catania. I am glad I have found a place I will be staying often anytime I go to Catania. The environment around is very lively full of restaurants just in front of the hotel.

There is nothing to dislike about the place.
