Cute place and excellent location! At night, there are several good restaurants in Via Gisira. In the morning, there’s a charming fruit and vegetable market. The b&b is also an easy walk to most sights of interest in Catania. The place itself is simple, but clean and comfortable. Highly recommend. Oh, and if you’re driving, as in advance where to park. There’s an easy public parking place nearby.

Don't let external appearances but you off!
When the taxi dropped me at the hotel I was very unsure. It is close to the fish market, bus and train station, and peeling paint and grafitti adorn the narrow street walls. At ground level there is just a wooden door with a small B&B sign pinned to it, but once inside marble stairs rise to the main door. The receptionist speaks very little English, but is very friendly and helpful. She even lugged my suitcase up the remaining stairs. The breakfast room is really well kitted for a cold breakfast, including cereals, various breads, fruit, yogurt, teas and a coffee machine. The spacious bedroom was decorated in sunflower colours(!). Live music placed somewhere nearby until midnight, then the streets became peacefully quiet. I was awoken by noises and voices outside my window before dawn. When I eventually ventured through the curtains I was surprised to see a fruit market right along the street. It may have been listed in the B&B details, but I hadn't taken note. I don't know if it is on very day, but it's there on Friday. All in all, I had a very pleasant and insightful stay for my first experience of an Italian city.
