Cheap rates in a dubious location
Close to the train station (and about 15mins walk from the city) so convenient for an early train ride, but it's a really creepy area and building. We had trouble finding it because the building is barely marked - looks like a closed warehouse door with bars across (and is very dark inside), and there were a few suspicious-looking people hanging around outside. You'll need to call the receptionist's mobile so he can take you up to your room. As a pair of girls we were definitely unsettled by the location and I would imagine it is not suitable for solo travellers either.
Air conditioning is a noisy portable unit inside the room. Kitchen is straight out of a uni sharehouse. The best thing we can say about it is that the price is very cheap and excellent value if you're looking to catch the train out of Catania early in the morning.
