I recently stayed at a charming B&B in Catania. The building was lovely, with a high ceiling and balcony. The room was bright and clean, with plenty of storage. The staff were friendly, flexible, and provided helpful information. The location was convenient, near the station and in the city center. Snacks and water were available in the kitchen area, and the host was responsive. a great experience with thoughtful touches.
I would be happy to recommend this hotel.

The location was absolutely incredible, close to everything you could possibly need. The rooms were beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Sebastian, the host, was so welcoming and his breakfast cakes were out of this world. The kitchen facilities were available all day, perfect for a late night tea. I would definitely stay here again.

I keep coming back because I found my lost ring here. Perfect place with Wi-Fi, luggage storage, 24-hour security, paid airport shuttle, laundry, flat-screen TV. Coming back for New Year!

Loved organizing excursions and exploring Catania on foot. The B&B was like a hidden treasure with free WiFi, breakfast, and helpful staff. Also, felt super safe with a fire extinguisher and first aid kit around.
Oh, I just adored staying in a room without any plants. Such a refreshing lack of nature!

Our stay at Elephant's Smile B&B was amazing! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and taken care of. The location of the B&B was perfect, close to the train station and the city center, but still quiet and peaceful. The host was incredibly friendly and gave us fantastic recommendations for places to eat and things to do. The room was clean and comfortable, with air conditioning to keep us cool during the hot days. We were even able to leave our luggage after check out. I highly recommend Elephant's Smile B&B for a wonderful stay in Catania.

The B&B had spacious and clean rooms with sea views and comfortable beds. The location was perfect, near the historical center and close to the station. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing recommendations for local dining. The atmosphere was stylish and the property had a palazzo-like feel. Amenities included a dining room with coffee and cookies available.
Felt relaxed, nothing to complain about.

I chose Elephant's Smile B&B because of its convenient location near the Civic Museum of Catania. I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent dry cleaning and laundry facilities offered by the smoke-free townhouse accommodation. Additionally, the free in-room WiFi allowed me to easily stay connected, and the local specialities and typical Italian dishes found in the surrounding cafes and restaurants were absolutely delightful. The complimentary buffet breakfast served daily added an extra touch of convenience and satisfaction to my stay.
If you're looking for a room with a view, this might not be the best choice. The limited view of the sea, hidden behind other buildings, was a bit disappointing.

The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. They arranged a late check-in for us and even organized a transfer from the airport. The room was quiet, clean, and comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The location was excellent, with everything within walking distance, including the bus station for easy access to other cities. One standout feature was the delicious and varied breakfast, with plenty of options to choose from.
There were no negative aspects to our stay at this hotel.
