Ostello degli Elefanti Hostel Catania

I had a great experience at this venue! We went for drinks and signed up for a membership that included drinks, which made the visit even better. The complimentary chips were a nice touch too. The highlight was definitely the view, it was absolutely worth it! I highly recommend this place for a relaxing drink with a fantastic scenery.

Very kind owner and well-prepared staff. The amenities are extraordinary, and every communal area is charming. The paintings on the ceiling are beautiful, painted by the owner. Breakfast and dinner are also fine. Its location is excellent; from its terraces and attic bar you can see the main square and even Mount Etna.

simply a super hotel for little money. Clean, friendly staff, separate shower for ladies, shower gel, hair dryer, face cream. You can buy a locker. Bar on the terrace. In the bar at the reception you can have an inexpensive sandwich and drink coffee. I am delighted!

Amazing hostel. Location can't be beaten, and the staff is some of the kindest I have met on my travels.Cant beat roaming around Catania during the day and finish my day at their terrace overlooking the Etna with a cocktail in hand. Shout out to Luca, Alessandro for the great hospitality, but the full team are stars. Great job guys!

Location extremely noisy until late night, in the main shopping street, with several people singing different music with sound system. Noisy in the morning with life starting. Nightmare. Run-down toilets and showers. Rooms and facilities area for hostel guests is not separated from the area of customers for other events and terrace. I am sure you can find better at the same price. Personnel nice and available.

It’s the perfect place to enjoy all the Catania’s center. I started from 2 nights and then I extended 3 more nights! Thanks so much. For sure I’ll be back

Cannot get a better location, right in the heart of Catania. Staff were amazing, very helpful and friendly. Free breakfast was great and free pasta for dinner was lovely. Rooms were good, with a nice shower, small balcony and icy cold air con which is important for summer. Only downfalls were it can get loud since there’s music outside on the street till around midnight and there is no lift. But overall I loved my stay and will recommend it

I had an amazing stay at this hostel. The common rooms are very nicely decorated, the staff is helpful and the free pasta dinners create a very social experience. The breakfast was also very good, with a croissant, coffee and fresh fruit every morning. The only negative thing was that there was some sort of event on the Saturday I stayed there and there were a lot of children running around, making noise and changing the vibe of the common rooms and the rooftop bar.
