Ostello Degli Elefanti

The hostel is located right in the city. Unfortunately, there is still a supermarket and the train station far away. The reception and common area is beautifully designed and there is a great roof terrace with a bar and a great view. The breakfast is very small, not a buffet. For dinner there is pasta, as much as there is, which is great. Unfortunately my room was in a neighboring building and you had to walk across the courtyard to get to the common area and the kitchen. The beds are very loud and squeaky. The bathroom is very old.

Perfectly located hostel, very kind and attentive staff. The value for money is very good! Big bonus for breakfast and free pasta in the evening, and of course the incredible rooftop! 😍

Very good hostel, ideal location, excellent value for money. There are free pastas every evening, and a rooftop terrace to have a drink with a view of Etna! The staff is adorable, and we feel safe there!

Very central hostel, great for exploring the city. From the roof terrace you have a perfect view of Etna. The staff is very friendly and the pasta night makes it easy to get to know other travelers. :)

It is the best Hostel in Catania and possibly in Sicily, the environment, the staff, the location, the facilities and the value are very fair, in high summer it suffers like any hostel in a tourist place and is very hot, but the rooms have air conditioning, the kitchen is large, common areas too and has a roof top (Terraza) with an incredible view of the entire city and facing the Etna volcano, having an aperitif at sunset is a must for anyone visiting Catania.

The location is ideal, you couldn't ask for better; the lovely welcome, all the staff are smiling, going out of their way to make your stay pleasant. Super nice atmosphere, conducive to exchanges and meetings.

Excellent! The hostel is very comfortable and super complete - there was even “free pasta” every night. The staff is VERY friendly. The rooms are spacious and clean. Everything was perfect and the location is super convenient, it is in the middle of the center. The jewel of the place is the terrace with the cocktail bar. You can see the entire center from above and Etna behind, we saw unique sunsets :)

We felt extremely comfortable in this hostel. Friendly and helpful crew, great facilities in the rooms, lots of space, very clean. Plus, the location is just perfect, it couldn't be more central. We were definitely not here for the last time.

I was only supposed to stay a few days and I ended up staying 2 weeks in the hostel. Because? Because it is the best hostel I have been in in all the countries I have traveled, it has a perfect location on the main square and very central, an incredible terrace view, a super friendly and pleasant staff, spacious and clean rooms. Breakfast and dinner at a super price! It is perfect for travelers and large groups of people. Very pleasant social activity and common spaces. I also found a very good internet connection and study areas to be able to attend online classes and work online. I totally recommend the hostel if you want a perfect trip in Catania and meet fantastic people... one day I will return. Grazie mille ragazzi!

The hostel is very familiar. There are shared free pasta plates in the evening and a small, delicious breakfast. The house is right in the center and is a true pearl and very charming. Anyone who is cosmopolitan will get their money's worth here.

One of my best experiences! Breakfast is super complete. Every day there is pasta night, where you can share with other people! Very nice place, excellent views, located in the center, the architecture is beautiful. The staff is super friendly and helpful!

One of the best hostels I've been to. Spacious room, comfortable bed and air conditioning. Breakfast included with soy coffee option. The only downside is that it is a noisy area. Ideal if you go alone

I stayed here in this hostel for 4 days. the staff are really nice and polite. you really feel at home. there is a large common room where all guests meet and plan where to spend their time together. you never feel alone here. I would recommend this hostel. I stayed here in this hostel for 4 days. the employees are really nice and polite. you really feel at home.

The location is perfect - right in the city center, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and speak very good English! I spontaneously asked for a room on site and paid 20 euros including breakfast. There is also a beautiful roof terrace with a great view and a rooftop bar! 100% recommendation :-)

An exceptional place located in the heart of the city. Rooftop bar inside. Extremely decent breakfast, especially considering the price. Lots of interesting people to meet. Lovely staff available at any time of the day or night. I recommend 100%.
