Don’t deserve any stars

It is the worst hostel I’ve ever been to. Rooms don’t look like on photo from ad. My room was on first floor, totally disaster. I couldn’t stand straight because of the sloping ceiling, small and dirty. I could hear everything that was going on in the corridor and other rooms (even someone snoring). Bathroom shared, low standard and again not clean. Check in is only till midnight and because my flight was delayed I had to pay for a late check in 10€. The receptionist ask for pay, quickly showed me a room, and left. Didn’t even informed where bathroom was. After one night, or actually few hours I change hotel for Efesto B&B and I was glad I did it. If you’re planning to stay there ask for a room on ground floor, it might be better.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Last night when we checked in, I specifically asked the front desk staff if there were bed bugs, as I had seen many negative reviews mentioning them. The staff assured me that there was no need to worry, saying that it was a summer issue and that they had cleaned thoroughly, so there were no more bed bugs. To my surprise, that night I was bitten by bed bugs all over my body, causing severe itching that was unbearable and left me unable to sleep. It’s already October, and the fact that there are still bed bugs is simply unbelievable! Moreover, we didn’t have a blanket, only a very thin sheet, and it was unexpectedly cold at night. The next day, after we checked out, we wanted to use the restroom, but the cleaning staff was quite impatient. In conclusion, we will never come back to this place. In the future, we definitely won’t compromise on accommodations just to save money and end up in a hotel like this. (The front desk staff was polite, but the cleaning staff had just finished cleaning and, after learning that we had checked out, said we couldn’t use the restroom. We asked to use it, and she reluctantly agreed, showing impatience.) Additionally, we had to pay an extra €2.5 to store our luggage until 3 p.m., which is understandable, although most hotels offer this service for free.

El alojamiento era cómodo, estaba limpio y nos atendieron muy bien, pero en las características ponía que había opción de parking por 10€ más y que hablaban varios idiomas, entre ellos español, y no era verdad en ninguno de los dos casos. Habíamos elegido el alojamiento solo por eso y nos encontramos buscando un parking por Catania a las 22:00. La puerta del baño de nuestra habitación no cerraba.
