2 weeks staying at City Fair, more than adequate single room, friendly people. So close to the main thoroughfare the Etnea, and from there you can be opposite the Doumo sat on the elephant fountain steps.
Really good location and very kind owner who makes fresh coffee in the morning. Only negative is that some food gets left out after breakfast is finished, including yoghurt, cakes and fruit so be careful.
It was a very pleasant experience. I went to Catania to attend a scientific conference and stayed here for 5 nights. The place is very safe. The location is very good, with a bus stop and metro station just a 1-minute walk away. Many Indian as well as continental restaurants are very nearby. The behavior of the host is also excellent. The quality of the breakfast could be improved.
Best place to stay in Catania! I stayed 2 nights and hope to return in 2 weeks. The B&B is right in the middle of the city centre, walking distance to all the attractions. Downstairs are restaurants and pubs and 10m away is the bus station when you arrive from the airport. Room & bathroom very clean, breakfast is really delicious with fresh pastries and the host is absolutely amazing. He recommended me the best places in Catania and was always extremely helpful. Thank you so much & see you soon!
Loved every minute of my experience here! This place is a home from home, a cosy and efficient en suite room with a mini balcony. Towels were changed daily/every other day, very much like a hotel, and a light breakfast was available each morning. The owners are a sweet Italian family who are warm, smiley and super helpful - they gave us such a warm welcome and listed a load of great places to visit and try. Also great location, just a few mins walk from the city centre and literally around the corner from a lively road with bars and restaurants.
Busy area with the Fontana dell’Elefante & Cathedral of Saint Agatha, plus Sicilian restaurants.
